The professional wrestling fan in me is begging to write this post.
WrestleMania XXVI is just a couple of days away, and the Granddaddy of Them All is shaping up to be one of the most exciting ones in recent memory. While I’m not a big fan of WWE’s brand of “sports entertainment” (I’m more inclined towards puroresu and independent wrestling), I always look out for WrestleMania. It is, after all, the biggest event for every wrestling fan out there.
The build-up to WrestleMania was interesting, although a ten-match card isn’t exactly something I’m happy with. Considering how WWE is marketing its product more along the lines of “sports entertainment” than actual wrestling, this is quite expected.
(A few things got me excited about the Hall of Fame this year, though: Antonio Inoki’s induction is a much welcome one, and Maurice “Mad Dog” Vachon is an induction long overdue.)
I know the matches are booked and that betting on professional wrestling is like betting on the ending of soap operas, but hey, it’s WrestleMania. Anyway, without further ado, here are my predictions for WrestleMania XXVI.
