Every year, my friends and I get together and watch two PPVs; Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. We always do a pool for points, in which we donate a few dollars and the winner gets the pot. It's a lot of fun and this year it was my turn to do the pool. I thought it would be fun to do one here, and the winner will get the satisfaction of knowing they've won.

Obviously, have your picks in before the show starts on Sunday! I'll count up the points later on Sunday or Monday.

--Since it's not a title belt, I'm basing my pic on which flitsy bimbo could lay claim to it. Beth's not a bimbo, but I could see an angle forming based on her win (hasn't Santino been trying to get involved in this match?)

Nice one with JBL "having a decent match." I really hope he's going to retire. I've gotten really sick of him as of late and I miss his excellent commentating.

/ 1 - WWE Champion Triple H vs Randy Orton
/ 1 - Bonus Question: Will a member of the McMahon family or the Legacy stable influence the finish of this match? yes and no - distraction, yes, offensive interference, no

/ 1 - WWE Intercontinental Champion JBL vs Rey Mysterio
/ 1 - Bonus Question: What is the “something historic” JBL will do at WM? Well, it feels like I can't say "retire" now because everyone else is. Um, he's going to beat Honkytonk Man's 15-month reign by defending it only when he has to and with cheap finishes.

Note that the official list of Diva's has changed, so make sure you update your picks!!

Too late now.

I've been reading the results over at TSM. Sounds like a disappointing show thus far. The tag title unification match got booted down to the preshow, and apparently Kid Rock got 15 minutes to play, mainly songs from 1999.

On the plus side, sounds like Taker/Shawn delivered.

Too late.

I meant to have Santino as one of my picks.

Man, I guess I should have guessed more faces.

Taker/HBK was by far the match of the night, followed by the Hardy's match and the MITB match. Oddly, the Main Events were the least exciting match, save for the Diva Battle Royal

Oh good, it's Wrestlemania 21 all over again.

Don't even get me STARTED on the Diva Battle Royal. I'm so upset about it. Arg.

Anyway, seeing as how the Tag Team match wasn't on the PPV, unless there's a list of Lumberjacks I'll probably throw the Lumberjack question out.

I'll do this up later today. :)

Alright, folks. I had to throw out the JBL-history question because I can’t find anything anywhere that indicates what that something was.

SO, here are the answers:

WWE Champion Triple H vs Randy Orton
Bonus Question: Will a member of the McMahon family or the Legacy stable influence the finish of this match? NO

World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs The Big Show vs John Cena
Bonus Question: Will Vicky Guerrero influence the finish of this match? YES

WWE Intercontinental Champion JBL vs Rey Mysterio
Bonus Question: What is the “something historic” JBL will do at WM? QUESTION THROWN OUT

Tag Team Championship Unification Lumberjack Match
WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo Colon vs World Tag Team Champions Miz and Morrison
Bonus Question: Name at least one Lumberjack: The Great Khali, Jamie Noble, Shad, JTG, Hurricane Helms, Paul Burchill, Goldust, Charlie Haas, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Mike Knox, Vladimir Kozlov, R-Truth, Evan Bourne, Jimmy Wang Yang, Tommy Dreamer, William Regal, Jack Swagger, The Brian Kendrick, Ezekiel Jackson, Charlie Haas and Dolph Ziggler.

Undefeated Streak on The Line:
Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

TOTAL SCORES

Erick von Erich – 7/13
SamoaRowe – 6/13
Jillie – 5/13
Viceroy Virus – 3/13*

*I gave Viceroy Virus the point for the Battle Royal because he “meant” to pick Santino and because he really could use the help. :P

Good job EvE!! Just for the record, the winner in our real pool only had 8/13 – he guessed that none of the matches would be bloody. Bastard.
