therock picked Hulk Hogan

I actually see this feud probably continuing, despite Hogan's injury concerns. With that in mind I'll change my tip, though this is very much 50/50. Orton can afford a loss here. Plus, wrestlers like Hogan don't often return after a year long hiatus and lose. Hogan wins, but this may well continue.

therock picked Vince & Shane McMahon

Never thought I'd say this, but I think DX will lose here. The whole "McMahon has extra resources" thing got me thinking...could he just have a surprise up his sleeve? I think the seeds are being planted for some new DX rivalry, in which case a loss wouldn't damage them too much here. If they are going to hang around (which I hope they do, loving DX so far) a new feud will be great for them...NwO maybe?

therock picked Edge

Edge is working so well as champ right now. Cena has been getting his fans back since he hasn't held the title in a while, so let's hope the WWE realise that things are better left as they are.

I think this should be one of the matches of the night. With their history, that will also add a great feel to the match. Flair won at Vengeance, Foley to win here.

therock picked Chavo Guerrero

This storyline should be stopped here...WWE should have ended this Eddie storyline at Wrestlemania. As for the match, I'll take Chavo here, but it's a toss up. Chavo's first match back since his "retirement" should mean he takes the win...and the feud continues (unfortunately)

World Championship

Booker T Booker T Pick 20 picks · 19%
Batista Batista Winner 83 picks · 81%
Result: Batista wins 0 points
therock picked Booker T

I'll go out on a limb and say Booker retains and they string the feud along until No Mercy, where Batista eventually wins. Batista could easily win, since it's only his second PPV back from injury and he's already getting a title shot (his mini feud with Kennedy was fun to watch) I think the whole King Booker thing has abit more time left just yet. Booker wins with outside interference.

Don't know much about him, but I'll go Sabu for now. This may soon settle out into a Big Show/RVD and Sabu/Angle feud...RVD will interfere in this somehow.
