NO LESNER? NO PROBLEM!!

Rumors are running rampant after a heated argument between Vince McMahon and Brock Lesner, followed by an apparent "walk-off" by Brock Lesner before last weeks Monday Night Raw. Rumors are that the verbal engagement was over Lesner's next contract, and allowing Brock to attend UFC 184. Which as most know, Lesner attended, and sat with Dana White. There are even reports that despite all of this, Vince McMahon doesn't see a need for a back-up plan as WWE will sue Brock if he doesn't fulfill his contractual obligation. Although he may have said that, it would almost be safe to assume he's already thought of a plan B. There's always a plan B (ask Triple H).

So, let's assume that there is some real validity to all of this. Brock Lesner decides to not show up, or he does and is obviously not going to follow the plan. It could happen, the amount of money Brock could make from the publicity and a fight in the UFC (with Mir) could outweigh what Vince McMahon and the WWE could take away in court...

Whether he shows or not, Brock is stripped of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and subsequently "fired". That is either during the pre-show or at the start of Wrestlemania 31. The top prize in all of Sports Entertainment is vacant. Ironically, the night before "Macho Man" Randy Savage was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. Savage captured the WWE Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania IV (4), in an elimination tournament to determine the champ. So, to further honor the memory of the late legend, it happens again. With the exception of Tag Team and Divas matches, every match is now apart of the tournament. IC and US titles on line, but also advance in the tournament. The winner of the 2nd Annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal will get a pass into the second round, similar to how Andre partook at Wrestlemania IV. The end result can still end up with Roman Reigns being victorious (if that is the true plan), and perhaps earn admiration for how he does it. Or whomever they choose. The list of people the fans would go nuts for is pretty long.

For some it is a good idea, for others it is a lousy one. But, to the detractors, it is at least something. This will likely be for not, as Vince generally gets his way no matter the cost (to him or others). The card is looking pretty stacked though, Sting/Triple H, Undertaker/Bray Wyatt, etc. Making it all for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship could make it all that much more meaningful. either way, can't wait to see how everything plays out on March 29th, 2015.

NON-GEEKY NERD'S WRESTLEMANIA XXX PREDICTIONS PT.1

WWE.Wrestlemania-30.WM30.Wrestlemania-XXX.Wrestleman-30-Logo.The countdown is under the 48hr mark, and with only the WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony being the only thing that is left to do. This Sunday, Wrestlmania XXX will be viewed by the millions...and millions.  Hopefully there won't be any viewers lost due to a WWE Network error, something one would hope the WWE has prepared for, using the time between the launch and Wrestlemania to work out the glitches. With a pretty solid line-up booked that includes the inaugural Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and Brock Lesner looking to end The Streak. It is looking to be one the best Wrestlemania's ever.
Wrestlemania-xxx.WWE.Wrestlemania-30.WM30.WWE-Superstars.Of course everyone has their predictions as to how things will play out, who will beat who, even who will appear as a surprise on the grandest stage of them all. With the rumor mill in fill force once the Road To Wrestlemania begins at the Royal Rumble, and with the Raw that follows Wrestlemania usually almost as great in regards to who makes their debut or return to the WWE. People involved with the CM Punk walk-out situation (namely Punk, HHH and Vince) aren't saying a word on the subject. Sting a man who has yet to appear in the WWE and is rumored to do so every year since Vince McMahon bought WCW, is still a free agent if not already signed with the company. It is hard not to tune in to either Wrestlemania or Raw just to see who shows up. Adding to the intrigue is that even those who believe that The Undertaker's Streak will end the last few years, are hard to argue with when it is Brock Lesner as the opponent. If The Streak were to end, Lesner is on a very short list of those who would go unscathed as being THAT guy. Being the one who ends the Deadman's Streak will either be propelled to a whole new level or it could immediately kill their career in some aspects.
The Non-Geeky Nerd has come up with 2 different predictions. One being more basic only slightly unlikely, while the other is more far fetched or even a dream scenario.

Likely Scenarios & Outcomes:

The Usos -Vs- Real Americans -Vs- RybAxel -Vs- Los Matadors (WWE Tag Team Championships)
  • The Usos retain the titles. Real Americans begin to implode.
Andre The Giant Battle Royal
  • Big Show. He has been and surpassed being the next Andre. He's due. Real Americans fully implode.
Daniel Bryan -Vs- Triple H
  • Triple H. He somehow screws Daniel Bryan out of the win. Possibly with the help of The Authority.
John Cena -Vs- Bray Wyatt
  • John Cena. Bray will win the likely rematch that will follow either on Raw or next PPV. I can even picture the other Wyatt's bringing out a beaten up Hogan, which causes Cena to "Hulk-Up" into Super-Cena for the Win.
Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational
  • Tamina Snuka. Leading to a feud with AJ Lee following Wrestlemania.
The Shield -Vs- Kane & New Age Outlaws
  • Kane & N.A.O. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose turn on Roman Reigns.
Brock Lesner -Vs- The Undertaker
  • Undertaker. Because The Streak isn't ready to end.
Randy Orton -Vs- Batista -Vs- Triple H....-Vs- Daniel Bryan (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
  • Triple H. Vince McMahon returns to put Daniel Bryan into the mix. Triple H ends up winning after an Evolution reunion (Naitch too). Daniel Bryan runs the gauntlet with each member ending with a win over Triple H for the gold at Summerslam. If not Vince, then perhaps the prodigal son returns with Shane McMahon putting Daniel Bryan in the match, then fighting his sister and brother-in-law for control of the WWE.

Wrestlemania-30.WWE.WM30.Logo.Those are the more probably predictions, likely a higher chance of being true than the following list. The next list if more far fetched, but in a business of never say never, they aren't as far fetched as one may think. You can find it HERE It outcome of Wrestlemania XXX could end up being a mixture of this list and the upcoming list of predictions. The inaugural Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal is hard to predict unlike the Royal Rumble where the only guessing game is who makes a surprise visit before a more obvious star wins and moves onto the main event of Wrestlemania. It would be nice if the win meant more than bragging rights and lugging around an amazing giant gold statue of the 8th Wonder Of The World. Perhaps even if it was the new Money In The Bank of Wrestlemania. Winner gets a shot for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Which Andre The Giant kind of did when he won the Battle Royal at Wrestlemania II before facing Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania III. Again, you can find the other list of Wrestlemania 30 predictions HERE.
