Hey Karsten...you mind narrowing your pick in the ladder match to one...not to be a prick, but two people can't win the match...

Also for everyone else...I have read on a couple sites this morning that a inter-promotional battle royal is being planned with 15 guys from each brand. So if anyone wants to change their picks to include that match, they can go right ahead.

World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H(c) vs Batista

Winner: Trips
Means: Pedigree
Comment: Can you see Trips losing at Wrestlemania 3 times in the 4 years. I can't see it happening. And we all know Head Booker Steph won't allow it.

Other comments:

This has the potential to be the weakest Wrestlemania since WM 9. Eight matches, four hours. Two of these matches won't even go over five minutes each. Does Vince expect Stone Cold and Roddy to talk it up for an hour or so? Does Vince and Eric expect the six way ladder match to take an hour?
NO IC, US or Tag Titles are on the line. This is not looking good in my opinion. And the Hall of Fame must be setting up for some kind of angle, my bet against Hassan and Davarti.

I am going to see it only because a friend and I committed to it a long time back.
