therock picked Edge

Considering that Cena has begun to get more of his face pops back over the last few weeks. I think the wise bet is to keep the title on Edge. Edge could easily wind up defending it at Mania, but a million things can happen between now and then. Edge has been built up for sometime now and was for a long time slated to win the title, mainly due to the money in the bank (his progess was halted by the Matt Hardy feud) and I just don't see him losing it after a reign of only a fortnight. Interesting to see how HHH moulds into the mix, but for now, it appears he's still tied up with Big Show.

therock picked Rey Mysterio

OK, I am officially sticking with Rey Mysterio for this one. This may be considered a slight upset of sorts, but I think he can pull it off. Having Rey win for Eddie, then going on to Mania for his title shot, would be a great story and in no way is exploiting Eddie's death. Here's hoping they go ahead with it, on top of the fact that Rey has worked tremendously hard over the years and deserves a title reign, or at least a Rumble victory.

therock picked Kurt Angle

Finally Angle has the title, it is long overdue and may his reign last until No Way Out/Wrestlemania where I believe the Undertaker may have another title run. Henry should not be up there amongst far more worthy title contenders such as Mysterio/RKO/Benoit, he should act more as a protege to MnM or join the US title fray. Angle all the way, he deserves it.

Boogeyman all the way here. I didnt really like him at first, but now he's up against JBL, he's comin' to get the Wrestling God. Interesting to see what happens after this for both men, but one thing's for sure, Boogeyman sure isn't losing yet. Will probably be the opener...hopefully it goes quickly.

Could be anyone's guess, but I have to go with Ashley here since she's been on the receiving end of afew Mickie beatdowns lately. Controversial end with Trish giving Ashley the victory, then Mickie joins with the "Skankateers"

therock picked To Be Determined (Gregory Helms)

I've always been a fan of the Cruiserweight title, and I hope it gets more recognition this year. In cases like this, when an unknown is shooting for the title against a top heel, the heel usually loses. I'll say Noble or Spanky wins it.
