WrestleMania Kickoff Show Matches
The WrestleMania Kickoff Show is set to begin at 5 PM ET and run for two hours until the main card starts at 7 PM ET. The Kickoff Show is currently scheduled to have three matches. All odds are courtesy of 5Dimes:
WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match
(c)Buddy Murphy (-230)
Tony Nese (+170)
Buddy Murphy is the most underrated wrestler on the WWE roster. He’s completed the cruiserweight division since winning the title from his hometown of Melbourne last year at Super Showdown. Murphy has fought every top cruiserweight on the roster and has successfully defeated them all. I have dubbed him“Mr. Kickoff“ recently, as he continues to shield the cruiserweight title during the kickoff show for each PPV.
Murphy’s opponent Tony Nese is a former friend and tag-team spouse. He is also just about the only other cruiserweight that fans think has the potential to beat Murphy. Nese earned the title shot at 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 seriously look at moving Murphy to RAW or SmackDown. He is an established commodity inside the ring and could add depth to either one of the leading names Mustafa Ali when from 205 Live to SmackDown and has been successful. I think Murphy could do exactly the same.
For this bet, I really enjoy the value that Nese offers. He is certainly worthy of a flyer as I believe he could upset Murphy. If WWE decided to move Murphy to one of the primary displays then they will take the belt off of him. I think there really is nothing left for Murphy to accomplish. He’ll have larger WM minutes down the street when he’s fighting for other names. I am taking Nese to triumph in an upset.
