Vague WrestleMania 32 plans via wrestling observer
 

Taker and the Freebirds need to go into HOF this year.

Other than that, plans always change. Look how WM 30 Main Event ended up.

Dare I say this I wouldn't complain about a Rock v Cena III if only "to settle the score" once and for all but I do think Rock v Triple H looks set and I predict that will be a snoozefest.

Would like to see Taker take on Lesnar in a "rematch", Taker wins and then retires citing he has now beaten all of WM opponents.

I might be way too soon but what about someone like Wyatt or Owens taking on the WWE Champion? Sheamus will have already cashed in by then but I don't think he will be the champ. I predict Ambrose or Reigns might be holding the belt.

I'd personally like to see Taker win the most hard fought mstch of his @ WM, but then stating that he'll be back for one last match next year @ WM 33, and somehow the build is to one more massively epic and legendary and all that against his half-brother Kane whom he defeats in a 40 or 45-minute WM classic as his retirement match to bringvhis record to 24-1, thus giving him a nice round 25 matches. Have thought 25 WM matches for him would be perfect once I realized 20-0 wasn't going to be the end.

will the rock v triple h be the first time they have ever squared off?

nope WM 2000 fatal four way match

Undertaker vs. Kane in a 45 minute WrestleMania Classic.

Nothing about that sentence makes sense.

Seeing how we are not even at SummerSlam yet I'll take this lightly

I t hink that was the point

Yay. The same fucking people as every year. Why does Triple H NEED to be at Wrestlemania anymore?

How about one of the top four matches being something like Dolph Ziggler vs. Cesaro?

How about not having the same five/six people in all the headline matches whilst all the talent that bust their asses all year long are thrown in a cheap-ass battle royal.

Can't be fucked with Wrestlemania or wrestling anymore.

Judging by Raw ratings, you aren't the only one. Sad thing is, this is the result of years and years of bad booking. Hard to know how they halt this slide now. And sadly, news like this seems to indicate that they are content ignoring the problem and using bigger names to flog Mania yet again.

It is tiresome, I actually never watch Raw now, no stories or interesting, intriguing feuds. Just watchvthe specials for the matches now. Missing Raw doesn't make a difference and it was a slog anyway

It's funny you should say about Cesaro, I heard he had a really competitive match with Cena on Raw, but what's the point of that if he loses in 5 minutes to someone else who loses regularly like Barrett in a few weeks. They can't be in main matches at Mania cause they mean nothing

Cesaro is over as fuck with most crowds.

People.do like him but you still need to be booked strongly to get in a big match at Mania. Could Cesaro, as it stands, be in a main event match at Mania. They won't take the risk, and the reason why they won't is because it IS a risk because of their own boring, stop-start, repetitive booking

I like both Rock and HHH but the prospect of them going head to head (or even in a tag match w/ the ladies) as one of the top matches just makes me want to sigh very heavily

Injuries, the nearly annual Rumble fan uprising, term agreements, backstage politics, and 9 months stand in the way for any of this. This report means nothing.

Probably. But won't change the fact that come Wrestlemania, the main booking will focus on the same names as the last ten years... Cena, Rock, Lesnar, Triple H, Undertaker etc...

I would be cool with Cena vs Undertaker in Taker's last match

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes, first time ever.

Agreed!

I'll be a little shocked and angry if The Freebirds don't finally make it in the HOF.

They sure as hell deserve more than some of the people already in there.

yeah put sting in a match he can win

Whats wrong with Taker/Sting damn it. Its been my dream match since I was a kid all the way back in like 1997. I know it wont be a very good match because both guys aren't that good anymore and their styles probably wont clas well, but damn it Vince, at least give it to us on RAW or something.


Rock/HHH would be pure gold though.

no mention of brock lesnar for WM main event plans in the report, that's smart. don't let lesnar steal your spotlight hunter

how the fuck can any fan say hhh v the rock will be pure gold from any standpoint? they never had a feud worth a fuck, only decent match I ever recall was their ladder one. at this point in their career whats the angle? oooh hhh I know ronda rousy so we should main event mania cause I am in fast and the furious. winner gets to molest paul walker's corpse match? that seems up hhh's alley

Whole Observer report is a lot longer but implied Lesnar-Reigns II was being considered as a possibility. Reigns wins and uses that as the official start of his era as the top star in the WWE. Cena's time on top and/or as the big focus of the WWE likely is finally over by next Mania.

WWE still worried about Mania ending in a chorus of boos if that is the final match but also considering a back-up plan of them going all out to "manipulate the crowd" to get the reactions they want.

i have a feeling we are getting lesnar austin

if next year is takers last match then that would probly end the show, I think kane should be his last match.

Why no?

It makes sense from a "legacy/storyline" viewpoint, i.e. Undertaker wants to avenge that defeat, Lesnar may not be in the title picture, hype it up as one of the biggest rematches of all time etc.


I stand by my other point of rather Rock v Cena III than Rock v Triple H.

Would Rock v Sting work at all?

Who else could Sting work with apart fro Triple H (again) or Rock? Cena?

Cena v Sting could be like Rock v Hogan but would Sting be keen on losing a second WM in a row and most likely his final match, assuming he hasn't wrestled his final match already?

Undertaker (biker) and Sting (Surfer) vs Kane (demon) and Triple H (snob) in an iron man match. If Triple H's team loses then Taker and Sting get to honk Stephanie's titties.

I honestly don't understand the UT-Sting dream match. Sure, they are both legends and wear black, but beside that I don't get it. They are both longterm, "franchise"-like guys, but I never understood the fan fervor and clamor.

When I think of WCW, Sting is somewhere around the fifth name that I think of, and UT was always the ancillary piece behind Bret, Shawn, Diesel, Austin, Rock and HHH. He is basically Foley with longevity (And by no means do I intend that as any type of slight). Add in that Sting isn't even the same type of mysterious/supernatural like gimmick, or at least hasn't been since 1998. It all seems like nothing more than a smark wet dream that does not lend itself to a mainstream/casual fan dependent event like this Wrestlemania has to be for the WWE.

I think it's BC it's the two guys that never jumped over to the competition. So they're considered loyal or some shit. IDK. Whatever.

I wanted Lesnar vs. Austin since, like, January.

I'm pretty much with this. WrestleMania is now almost "non-canon" in WWE terms. Sucks that the biggest show of the year is like that. Why not bring back bigger stars throughout the year to pad your lesser PPVs and create a more general buzz about your product?

Very few regulars on WWE TV get the chance to be presented as major stars at WrestleMania.

Cena vs. Cesaro should have been one of the top matches at WrestleMania this year. As it were, winning the Battle Royal meant nothing for Cesaro, and it actually took away from its meaning this year. Rusev is getting better all the time, but Cena vs. Cesaro would have just been...better.

Rock vs Triple H would horrible.

Rock and Rousey vs Triple H and Stephanie however would be a pretty great spectacle.

I'm thinking they may go Reigns vs Lesnar for the title again with the idea being that the smark crowd will be firmly behind Reigns now and they can safely put the title on him.

Meng vs Steve Blackman

I don't see why they are so high on Rousey. I have no interest in Steph vs Ronda. If she is going to be at Mania I would rather her have a real fight, that probably wouldn't last 20 seconds. Dana won't let that happen though.

Of course it doesn't. I mean it's not like WM has been a 4-hour show for the past few years or anything. Besides you did partially take what I said out of context/selectively left out that I said 40 OR 45-minute WrestleMania classic. I meant that as an idea for a taker retirement match at WM 33 where the "monster" version of Kane is back and motivated to retire Taker "for good", not just his career...a couple months of back and forth head games between a masked Kane and Taker, and then just let them blow the roof off the building with an epic match that Undertaker comes from behind to win in his 25th and final WM match, ending on 24-1...huge 24-1 graphic on screen as the cameras follow him up the ramp and he looks back at the crowd one last time as he raises his right hand up high and pounds his chest with his left fist a couple of times to a loud pop and "Thank You, 'Taker! chants".

You don't have to like my idea, but if you're going to try to poke holes in it bring something more than that weak tea, bro.

I'd prefer his last match to be WM 33, but other than that it seems we are the only ones in this thread who get how he should go out. :y:
