WrestleMania Kickoff Show Matches
The WrestleMania Kickoff Show is set to start at 5 PM ET and operate for two hours until the most important card starts at 7 PM ET. The Kickoff Show is currently scheduled to have three games. All gambling odds are courtesy of 5Dimes:
WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match
(c)Buddy Murphy (-230)
Tony Nese (+170)
Buddy Murphy is the most underrated wrestler in the WWE roster. He has completed the cruiserweight division since winning the title from his hometown of Melbourne last season in Super Showdown. Murphy has fought every top cruiserweight on the roster and has successfully defeated them all. I’ve dubbed him”Mr. Kickoff” recently, as he continues to defend the cruiserweight title throughout the kickoff show for every PPV.
Murphy’s opponent Tony Nese is a former friend and tag-team partner. He’s also just about the only other cruiserweight that buffs believe has the potential to beat Murphy. Nese earned the title shot WM 35 after beating Cedrick Alexander to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. Following his big win, Murphy congratulated Tony with a boot to the face.
The WWE should consider moving Murphy to RAW or SmackDown. He is an established commodity within the ring and may add depth to one of the leading titles Mustafa Ali when from 205 Live to SmackDown and has been successful. I believe Murphy can do exactly the same.
For this bet, I really like the value that Nese offers. He is certainly worthy of a flyer as I believe he could upset Murphy. If WWE decided to maneuver Murphy to one of the primary displays then they are going to take the belt from him. I believe there is nothing left for Murphy to achieve. He’ll have bigger WM minutes down the road when he is fighting for different titles. I’m taking Nese to win in an upset.
