Professor Wrestling: The 'WrestleMania' Contest

Predict The Matches, Win Big Prize

Friday, February 4, 2005 – updated: 7:30 am EST February 4, 2005

Listen up! Class is in session.

The lecture is short and sweet this week. You'll recall that last week, I was perfect in my 'Royal Rumble' picks. Don't believe me? Then click here. I told what was going to happen on Friday, and come showtime -- the script went exactly as I said it would. You can't teach that. That's why I'm the Professor here.

Some of you, however, tossed out a few backhanded compliments after the fact. Stuff like, "Picking Batista was a no-brainer." It was like handing me an apple, but with a bite taken out of it. (I actually did that in fourth grade. I really thought it was funny. The teacher, a Catholic nun, went ballistic).

Fine. Have fun with your Professor. I can take it. Which brings me to the business at hand this week. If you think you predicting this stuff is so easy, be brave and give it a shot.

Here's what we're going to do. I want you to tell me how "WrestleMania21" is going to play out. The student who predicts the most matches correctly will win a nifty prize. I'm thinking the Ric Flair DVD or perhaps the new ECW DVD. In the case of ties, I'll conduct a random drawing out of my mask. I'll run reminders of the contest in this column over the next several weeks to make sure you're up to date. When the card is set, I'll make a final call for entries.

The rules are easy. Just pick the winners, and how they're going to win. For example: Batista will pin HHH cleanly to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

So there you have it. New contest. "WrestleMania 21." Cool prize.

The only person not eligible in this contest is Charlie Gray (you know who you are). He won a big SummerSlam contest last August, and got to write the column for a week. In this case, I want to spread the wealth around. Sorry, Charlie. (I've always wanted to write that.) Besides, he would kick your sorry rear ends. Mr. Gray is one of the best sports entertainment prognosticators out there. Next to me, of course.

Comments, questions, complaints? Toss me an e-mail right here. Don't be shy. I try to respond to all the mail.

That's it!

Class dismissed!
