So what do people want to see at WrestleMania this year?

[mike adamle]

I'm hopeful for a Daniel Bryan-Brock Lesnar rematch. Hopefully would be a title unification match.

Hopeful for a John Cena-Undertaker rematch from last year where Cena looks to avenge his loss and take the match seriously.

AJ Styles-HBK would be a good Mania dream match.

Hopefully Triple H can come back and face Batista in a Retirement Match

Hopefully they have Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle have a match similar to TNA Lockdown 2008

Ronda vs. Becky in a loser is the winner's sex slave match would be what I would do personally

Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose in a 3 Stages of Hell Match. 1st Fall Hell In A Cell. 2nd Fall Falls Count Anywhere 3rd Fall TLC Match. Winner takes Roman Reigns to chemo.

The Rock could take on Shinsuke Nakamura and call him the next big thing

Shane McMahon could take on Braun Strowman in a spotfest.

Randy Orton could face The Miz, Rusev, and Sheamus for the United States Title.

Cesaro could face Rey Mysterio in the opener.

[slik]

Ronda vs Becky
Brock vs Seth OR Brock vs Drew
DBry as a heel vs Miz as a face
Maybe Charlotte vs Nia

I'm pretty open other than that

Would prefer Taker doesn't wrestle, same for Kane. Cena was in the advertising for WM pretty heavily so I guess Cena vs.... um, Shane or Lashley

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Would fans take to face Miz going after heel Bryan? Feel like that could blow up on them rather quickly.

[Lock Jaw]

HLA

[DAMN iNATOR]

Don't really care yet.

What do I not want that I fear we will get anyway? Cena/Undertaker II so Cena gets his win back, because ya know, 50/50 booking.

[Splaya]

With a rematch at Wrestlemania 2020 to settle the best 2 out of 3 :shifty:

[Evil Vito]

Alexa Bliss naked

[ClockShot]

Braun Strowman to win the Universal Championship.

Better yet, severe weather.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Unobstructed view

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

HABM in a first blood match

[A.J.K]

Ronda vs Becky
Brock vs Seth OR Brock vs Drew
DBry as a heel vs Miz as a face
Maybe Charlotte vs Nia

I'm pretty open other than that

if HHH doesn't recover in time , Cena vs Batista vs Orton vs Rey

[mike adamle]

I am actually pretty hopeful for Cesaro vs. Rey. I think Cesaro needs to be in a singles match and it needs to be against a smaller type like Rey or Sami Zayn for maximum effect. Cesaro vs. Rey is also the perfect opener. They could pull out so much cool shit to get us hyped up to start the show.

[slik]

Would fans take to face Miz going after heel Bryan? Feel like that could blow up on them rather quickly.

I think they'd dig it, the key is to not screw up what's interesting about heel Miz and just slightly twing it to more cutting face promos than heel.

[Rammsteinmad]

Apparently they had a match/did a spot last week after Smackdown with Miz playing the face and Bryan a heel and according to report on TPWW main page the crowd was solidly behind the Miz.

[Volare]

Bewbs.

50/50 booking is only an issue when it’s happening in every feud up and down the roster and especially when it’s happening to guys like Lesnar. Nothing wrong with Cena getting his win back against Taker. He shouldn’t have jobbed to him in the first place.

[A.J.K]

Apparently they had a match/did a spot last week after Smackdown with Miz playing the face and Bryan a heel and according to report on TPWW main page the crowd was solidly behind the Miz.

And people said Miz couldn't turn face and make it work.

[Splaya]

And people said Miz couldn't turn face and make it work.

I think that was before he really started to make this last bit of his heel run work. They have to be careful though. I'd rather he tween for awhile right now, playing both sides, and then eventually turn face in a HUGE moment.

[RaginRonic]

To see Vince McMahon get his testicles cut off by Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake and his garden shears.

And bleed all over the place.

XD

[RaginRonic]

Sorry for double post, but WWE's only going to turn him face by having him get his ass beaten down by Dolph and Drew.

Same old booking shit WWE does.

Predictable as fuck, and I see that coming anyway.

=P

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want Cena and Shawn, but apart from that, I’m cool with them being the only part-timers.

[xrodmuc316]

Cena vs Taker
Shawn vs AJ
Universal Championship Brock vs Drew
WWE Championship Miz vs Daniel Bryan (Rumble winner) prob Shane as guest ref
Ronda vs Charlotte (Rumble winner)
Becky vs the Smackdown field
Seth vs Dean vs Ziggler vs Finn (IC ladder match)
Shinsuke vs Rey (US)
Showbar vs New Day
Braun and a different refs kid vs AOP
Usos and Joe vs a billed as new fan favorite although they are exactly the same Wyatt family

Rock segment with Elias

HHH and Steph segment interrupted by HOF headliner Batista

Randy Orton randomly RKOs at least 3 match winners while they celebrate

Pre Show = Both Battle Royals and a cruiserweight title match, along with Lio Rush talking about how nobody smells like Bobby Lashley

No idea what they do with Kurt, but I doubt Baron Corbin is getting a match at Mania!

Also, Wrestlemania hosts are K.O. and Sami... YEP!

From Slik's thread about this not too long ago.

Some stuff has changed a bit, like Bryan a heel champ, but still would like this.

Let say Drew wins the Rumble now

[Savio]

Vince McMahon giving a legit retirement speech.

[mike adamle]

I'd rather see Vince in a match. Maybe against Lesnar for the Universal Title? Or a blood feud with Drew McIntyre might be more fitting. McIntyre could beat the shit out of him one night for not believing in him long enough as the chosen one or whatever it was. Vince can come back and vow revenge via his own two hands.

[DAMN iNATOR]

50/50 booking is only an issue when it’s happening in every feud up and down the roster and especially when it’s happening to guys like Lesnar. Nothing wrong with Cena getting his win back against Taker. He shouldn’t have jobbed to him in the first place.

You know what's scary? I just remembered way way back when they had their first PPV encounter in like 2003.

This means they could potentially recycle the feud not just this year but all the way to WM 37 in 2021 so Cena could claim victory in yet another feud.

I doubt that will happen, but it's just the sort of motivation I could see "Big Match John" using to excuse it.

I think the better option, if they MUST have a rematch would be to have Cena appear sometime at or shortly after the Royal Rumble. Have him come back so pissed off that he lost in less than 3 minutes to Undertaker that (he then rips off his merch t and reveals a throwback jersey and the old padlock chain necklace and puts on a throwback baseball cap and and brass knuckles) and he angrily declares that the Doctor of Thuganomics is going to kick 'Taker's old, dead ass at WM 35. As long as the build was done right, I could potentially see people getting invested in it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm intrigued by Bryan vs. Cena and AJ vs. Shawn. I don't want to see Undertaker at Mania this year, but I guess since we have to, I'll go him and Kane against Batista and Orton. It won't be pretty, but eh.

At this point, I do think Seth is the right choice to challenge Brock. I think I would rather see Ronda and Becky than Ronda and Charlotte. I guess that leaves Charlotte to face Asuka. A second match between the two could be "cool."

[XL]

Yeah, Heel Bryan vs. Cena is interesting.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The history between the two: Bryan won their last match; their relationships with The Bellas; their current dispositions and positions on the fans and on wrestling; Bryan's won his last five matches at WrestleMania (the best active streak at WrestleMania, baby).

I can just imagine Cena cutting promos about Bryan changing and Bryan saying that at least he stands by his woman and is still keeping the wrestling dream alive. Cena is a Hollywood phony that can't hang with Bryan anymore.

[Franco Vazquez]

Alexa Bliss vs Nikki Bella in B&P match.

On a serious note, I don't personally rate WM because I think most of the matches are substandard and even the card is quite weak.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Random match I "want" to see: Rusev vs. The Miz vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas vs. Jimmy Uso.

Not because I like multi-mans or am particularly high on The Miz, but I think a woman in every corner gimmick could be popcorn filler that doesn't hurt my feelings.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think it's going to be Brock vs. Seth at Mania, but I kind of want to see Brock vs. AJ again. Styles could win the Royal Rumble and challenge Brock, leaving Bryan to defend against Cena. Doing the "what looks good on the marquee" thing though, I'm kind of intrigued by Brock vs. Cena. Something about it feels "epic." They haven't done it at Mania before.

I've got a sick feeling in my gut that they are going to do Bryan vs. Babyface Bray. I don't hate Wyatt or anything, but I just feel like the gimmick is dead and forcing it into mid-card "World Title" matches isn't what it really needs.

There's no reason to think that this will happen, and I've cooled off on the guy since he's blended into the scenery, but I really wouldn't mind Bryan vs. Cesaro. Getting there doesn't seem sensational, but maybe a simple story of guys gnawing at the heels of Bryan, who was at his absolute peak five years ago will do?

[#1-norm-fan]

Brock vs Cena for the title with the story of their recent history being plastered all over anywhere WWE can get publicity is the way to go. Cena is a star and smart crowds actually respect him nowadays. Draw as many eyes as you can to the show and let them watch Cena overcome the beast to an actual positive response. It would be beautiful. A story being told to the exact reaction WWE wants. What a concept.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The more I think about it, the more Brock vs. Cena appeals to me. I mean, it's never not -- I wanted to see it a few years ago (I cannot remember which Mania specifically). But it does feel like the most "WrestleMania" thing they can put on. I wouldn't have Cena put his career on the line, but I think Heyman can cut promos about Brock intending to end Cena's career which might plant doubt in the fans' mind as to whether or not Cena is going to win, because it could easily be a farewell for now from Cena.

[mike adamle]

Mania weekend is looking like it could be pretty fun. Gonna go to Josh Barnett's Bloodsport and TNA on Thursday. NXT and Blackcraft on Friday. ROH/New Japan at MSG and hopefully Joey Janela's Spring Break 3 Part 2 (still looking for tickets if anyone has any leads) Saturday night. And Mania on Sunday. Undecided on if I want to do Raw and/or SmackDown!. I know it's normally the most rowdy crowd of the year for those shows but the product is just so bad I don't think I can be bothered.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Current plans are to bus to NY/NJ do ManiaCrawl and then go to Mania.

[Black Widow]

Don't care long as Becky wins and Lesnar loses.

[xrodmuc316]

I gotta say, is Roman is cleared I would like to see him get into the Universal title match. Rollins seems hurt anyways, have Lesnar storyline injure Rollins, then have Rollins and Ambrose help Roman finally beat Brock at Mania, and get one more little Shield fist bump before Ambrose leaves.

[#1-norm-fan]

Don't care long as Becky wins and Lesnar loses.

... Yeah, you’re definitely one with the IWC, nerd.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If Roman is cleared, I’d be down for him and Bryan.

[mike adamle]

As for Mania here's what I'm hopeful for now.

WWE Universal Title Match- Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Seth Rollins

WWE Title Match- Daniel Bryan (C) vs. Kurt Angle

Loser Retires- Triple H vs. Batista

WWE Raw Women's Title Triple Threat Match- Ronda Rousey (C) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair

AJ Styles vs. Shawn Michaels

WWE SmackDown! Tag Team Title Match- The Usos (C) vs. The New Day (Big E & Kofi Kingston)

John Cena vs. Braun Strowman

Hell In A Cell Match- Samoa Joe vs. The Undertaker

#1 Contender for WWE or WWE Universal Title Ladder Match- Roman Reigns vs. Finn Balor vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Cesaro vs. Randy Orton vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

WWE Raw Tag Team Title Match- The Revival (C) vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn

No DQ- Shane McMahon vs. The Miz

WWE SmackDown! Women's Title Match- Asuka (C) vs. Naomi

WWE Women's Tag Team Title Match- Bayley & Sasha Banks (C) vs. Lita & Trish Stratus

Rey Mysterio vs. Mustafa Ali

Have Nia Jax win the Andre Battle Royal.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want Cena vs. Joe.

[mike adamle]

As for NXT Takeover the night before I'm hoping for this.

NXT Title Match- Tommaso Ciampa (C) vs. Johnny Gargano

NXT UK Title Match- Pete Dunne (C) vs. WALTER

NXT North American Title Match- The Velveteen Dream (C) vs. Matt Riddle

NXT Women's Title Fatal 4-Way Match- Shayna Baszler (C) vs. Io Shirai vs. Kairi Sane vs. Bianca Belair

NXT Tag Team Title Match- War Raiders (C) vs. Aleistar Black & Ricochet

Guessing Undisputed Era, Keith Lee, and Kassius Ohno will be on the tv taping before the show. Would love to see Keith Lee vs. Roderick Strong.

[mike adamle]

I want Cena vs. Joe.

I think if you have Joe destroy Undertaker in Hell In A Cell it establishes Joe as the man in WWE.

[rez]

I want Cena vs. Joe.

I'd be fine with that

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m trying to work out whether I want Andrade vs. Rey or Ricochet vs. Rey more.

[Black Widow]

... Yeah, you’re definitely one with the IWC, nerd.Never said i disagree on some IWC stuff just most.
