    This is honestly the most positive and optimistic outlook regarding WM I have heard from anyone this year. It's rather refreshing.

    We need to bring back the big guns: Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, The Macho Man Randy Savage, The Junkyard Dog, Tito Santana, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, Superfly Jimmy Snooka, Jake the Snake Roberts, Great The Hammer Valentine, King Kong Bundy, Big John Stud, Roddy Roddy Piper, Paul Ordoff, Morocco, The Million-Dollar man, Razor Ramon, and the list goes on and on.

    Well, seeing as how Warrior, Savage, JYD, Studd, and Morocco have all passed away, that's a tall order...

    Bring them back to life via CGI. They did it with Tupac, Audrey Hepburn, and Michael Jackson.

    Looks like the Battle Royal will join the Four way Tag match on the pre-show.

    Both of those irk me. Title matches should be on the main card, and if they want that Battle Royal to be special, it should also be on the card. Meanwhile, a divas tag match and the no-stakes Orton/ Rollins remain on the main card. Both of those matches would be more of a kick-off show kind of match. Let's face it- Bellas vs. A.J. and Paige seems like the kind of thing to kick off the second hour of Smackdown, not a Wrestlemania event more important that the tag title.

    OTOH, another WM Cesaro victory would be great, pre-show or not.

    People just need to give up on Cesaro. WWE has.

    Yeahhh don't think I'll care enough to hunt down a stream during WM this Sunday. Even for the matches I am interested in. (But fucking seriously, dropping those to pre-show? Ridiculous.)

    Anywho. Relevant?

    They keep saying it's a 4 hour extravaganza, so how will they fill the 4 hours after dropping the BR and Tag Match to the pre-show or is that counted as part of the 4 hours? Either way, it's stupid

    All the guys you'd expect to get long matches and/or big entrances are spread across more matches then usual this year. I'd expect the main show to be something like the seven matches at 30ish minutes each including entrances and cool down, 15 for music/celebrity shit and 15 for slack with the Diva Tag getting squeezed if they need any more.


    It was on the main show last year.

    A 20 man MITB match would be a nightmare to lay out, dangerous as hell for the performers and would have to go on forever for everybody to get their spot.

    Well uhh, they have 4 "singing" acts assigned so assuming they do 2 songs each at a fair average of 4 minutes each, plus say 3 minutes for intro and exiting the stage that's 44 minutes of "musical" acts sets for part of that 4 hours. So just about what 20% of a wrestling "extravaganza" set with someone making noise into a microphone.

    Well, that was a cheap shot at Michael Cole.


    I'm with Rabid Yak on this one. Forget the lame main event* and the Cena/Rusov match for the kids and you have a decent card. It certainly looks like a stronger card top to bottom than some Wrestlemanias that come to mind (11, 13, 15, 27)

    *Unless either Brock destroys Reigns and Rollins cashes in or Brock beats Reigns and pulls a Yokozuna (WM9).

    I said 20, not 95% :lol 

    Turned on my DVR'd Smackdown, Uso's came out first.. shut off and deleted. I do really need to just give up on WWE. Lucha Underground is so much better right now. I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed the last episode, that street fight main event was 4 and half stars easily. And damn, how much better is Alberto Elpatdelrio when he actually gets to be a little more himself. Shock of shocks! And that title! That's what a wrestling title should look like!

    Jake the Snake's DDT is the deadliest move of all time. No one ever got up from that.
