Professor Wrestling: In Search Of Your 'WrestleMania 21' Picks

Posted: 9:59 pm EST March 17, 2005Updated: 6:48 am EST March 18, 2005

Listen up! Class is in session.

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of this column, we're having a little contest.

Here's the deal: WWE's 'WrestleMania 21' is around the corner. The reader who picks the correct finishes in the most matches wins a fabulous prize. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, it'll probably be a wrestling DVD -- the Ric Flair collection or the ECW highlight package. I haven't decided yet. In the case of ties, I'll conduct a random drawing out of my mask.

I'll still be predicting the matches as I always do, but this will be a little bonus for you. And no, I don't think anyone will top me. I'm too good, and you know it.

The rules are easy. Just tell me what's going to happen in each match. For example: Kurt Angle will force Shawn Michaels to tap out to win their challenge match. Or, Undertaker will pin Randy Orton with a Tombstone piledriver. Be brief, but be specific.

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

As for the card, more matches may be added later -- but these are the ones we're going with to cut down on any possible confusion:

'WrestleMania 21'

-World Heavyweight Championship match: Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Dave Batista

-WWE Championship match: John Bradshaw Layfield vs. John Cena

-WWE Women's Championship match: Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme

-Challenge Match: Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels

-Challenge Match: Randy Orton vs. Undertaker

-'Money-In-The-Bank' Ladder Match: Shelton Benjamin vs. Edge vs. Christian vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit vs. Kane

-Sumo Wrestling Match: Big Show vs. Akebono

Along the way, if the matches above change -- I'll make adjustments. Don't worry. Just enter.

Where do you send the entry? RIGHT HERE! Make sure you include your e-mail address and phone number so you can be reached. I promise not to sell the information to Gene Snitsky. (Although the thought is tempting.)

As for this column being around for a year, I can only thank you. If it wasn't for you -- a great class of wrestling students -- I wouldn't be doing this. You're smart, lively and an absolute thrill to hear from. It's not easy doing this column in the mainstream media -- the highbrows still don't get it -- but I think we've outlasted 'em.

Now enter this contest!

Class dismissed!
