WWE WrestleMania 30: Predictions For Every Match

Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA8t0eaENhg Though Wrestlemania 30 will have its share of big men and giants wreaking havoc through memorable matches, none loomed larger than Andre the Giant. On "the grandest stage of them all," Andre made big memories that will last a lifetime. This one will likely be the curtain jerker, featuring 30 superstars. Look for The Great Khali to be the first one over the top, as crafty opportunists like Alberto Del Rio, Damian Sandow, and 3MB manage to eliminate the likes of Khali, Sin Cara, Zack Ryder, and Brodus Clay early on. Expect some dazzling moments and innovation from Kofi Kingston, Fandango, Rey Mysterio, and hopefully a returning Rob Van Dam, while Mark Henry, Sheamus and Big Show dominate, eliminating everyone from Brad Maddox to Darren Young to The Miz. Dolph Ziggler will steal the show though with his 10 jumping elbow drops to the chest of Del Rio, while delivering picture perfect drop kicks and ousting Justin Gabriel, R-Truth, and Christian, before being eliminated himself by Cody Rhodes and Goldust. Expect some great comedy by Santino Marella, who is eliminated by a surprise entrant like Alexander Rusev, Bad News Barrett, or perhaps a new WWE Hall of Famer like Jake "The Snake" Roberts in a battle of The Snake versus The Cobra. When the dust finally settles, it will be Big E and Big Show going toe-to-toe. Demonstrating his amazing strength, Big E will bodyslam Show in the middle of the ring -- a tip of the hat to WrestleMania III -- but it won't be enough to get him over the top rope. In the end, Big Show clobbers the Intercontinental Champion with a WMD and easily tosses Big E to the arena floor to the delight of the fans. Big Show is deserving of this honour, and it will be an emotional one. Yes, Big Show is a true giant of professional wrestling, but there will only ever be one real "boss," the Eighth Wonder of the World," Andre. Winner:Big Show
