Wrestlemania 24 Results - THIS IS IT!! THIS IS IT!! THIS IS IT!!
Raw/SmackDown/ECW 24-Man Battle Royal
Winner gets a ECW Championship shot the night against Chavo Guerrero.
This match was held on WWE.com prior to the live PPV broadcast. I really should have gotten this one right. Kane ended up winning. How could I have overlooked the Big Red machine?!?!
Me: 0/1
Dave: 0/1
ECW Championship Match
Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Raw/SmackDown/ECW Battle Royal Winner
This may have been the shortest match in WM history (and yes, I do remember King Kong Bundy's 9 second vicotry over S.D. Jones in WM1). Kane chokeslammed Chavo and got the pin.
Me: 0/2
Dave: 0/2
Triple-Threat WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena vs. Triple H
This match was shorter than I thought that it would have been. A lot of near finishes in this one. The end came when Trips pedigreed Cena, but had the pin broken up by Orton. Orton then instantly covered Cena for the pin to retain the title.
Me: 0/3
Dave: 0/3
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker
No surprise here. Undertaker wins and continues his streak along with getting another title run. He got Edge to submit to that arm/head scissors thing that he does. Actually, the only surprise as far as this match is concerned is that it was that it closed the show, but then I realized that Orton retaining wouldn't allow the over-the-top fireworks display to send the fans home happy.
Me: 1/4
Dave: 1/4
Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Ken Kennedy vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Carlito vs. MVP vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison
A lot of good spots in this match. The biggest spot of the night was Shelton being thrown from the top of the ladder inside of the ring onto a ladder set up on the floor. MVP was about to win the match when Matt Hardy appeared out of nowhere and gave him a Twist Of Fate off of the top of the ladder. In a not so surprising finish C.M. Punk got the win. Expect to see Punk to jump to RAW to challenge for the WWE Title - ECW and Smackdown lose yet another star.
Me: 1/5
Dave: 1/5
Career Threatening Match
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
In another predictable match, Flair goes down in defeat. There weren't as many vintage Flair spots as I predicted although there were a few. The end came when Flair was making his way to his feet urging HBK to 'bring it on'. Shawn then mouthed "Sorry, I love You" and delivered the superkick and the pin. As Flair was urging HBK to 'bring it on' Flair was already crying. Probably because he knew that his career as an active wrestler was going to end in 10 seconds. As soon as the ref counted 3 Shawn hugged Flair's head on the while he was laying down. Flair and his family began weeping as Flair made his way to the back.
Me: 2/6
Dave: 2/6
Raw vs. SmackDown Match
Umaga vs. Batista
Batista wins. Enough said.
Me: 3/6
Dave: 3/6
BunnyMania Lumberjack Match
Ashley & Maria vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina
Maria was about to pick up the win when Santino pulled her out of the ring. Lawler then left the announce table and went after Santino. Maria was distracted enough by this to allow Beth Phoenix to get the win after a fisherman's suplex. Afterwards Snoop clotheslined Santino and him ans Maria started kissing.
Me: 3/7
Dave: 3/7
Belfast Brawl
Finlay vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
JBL wins after a clothesline from hell.
Me: 3/8
Dave: 3/8
Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather
I'll admit that this was a fairly entertaining match. Mayweather actually took some actual wrestling moves. He even got one of those Big Show slaps to the chest. After taking out most of Mayweather's posse Big show was met with a few chair shots from Mayweather. After Show was dazed and on one knee Mayweather took a pair of brass knuckles from one of his posse member's chain and nailed Big Show with them leading to the 10-count knockout.
Me: 4/9
Dave: 3/9
Total
I got 4/9 correct as Dave got 3/9 correct. We both stink...STINK!
