Wait, Jordan, you're kidding me, right?

This is one of the most "bleh" WM's I've remembered in a while. Cena vs HBK has probably been the best thing going, due to all that tension and heel turn teasing. And then it drops significantly.

Taker vs Batista is just perplexing. From a mark's point of view, I guess it's "exciting," but I really don't want Batista, of all people, to end Taker's streak. And if Taker goes over, nice, but what does that really accomplish (this coming from an admitted Taker mark). And they haven't really been exciting in the build up. It's been "I'll beat you; not I'LL beat YOU" for like four weeks. Um... okay?

Vince vs Trump bores me. Mostly because their representatives bore me. Lashley's getting pushed like crazy, but it's the same thing Batista and Cena got. Predictable squashes. And I can probably call Lashley getting beat down this Monday to finally expose some weakness, only for him to win anticlimactically at WM (fine; he'll kick out of the Samoan Spike to be "shocking").

MitB is good. But with a premise like that, it's hard to mess it up. Still... what have they really done with the people in that match? Here's something where you SHOULD be switching people around shows to have them fight each other and sort of build a running eight-way competition, but they haven't done that at all.

Kane vs Khali is hilarious--but for all the wrong reasons.

Benoit vs MVP is just sad. Benoit is a former World Champ, and he's battling... some new guy who sort of has charisma and still manages to be boring? MVP isn't a great wrestler. There's been very little buildup. I fear Benoit will put MVP over as well. Yeah... huh?

Women's Championship should be Mickie vs Victoria. Instead, it's Playboy Model vs Some Girl Who Apparently Used to Star in Cats.

And that's all that i know officially. Shouldn't a Wrestlemania have like 12 matches anyway? Shouldn't they all be solidly built up?

This year, it's been three "main events" and that's it. Seriously. The writers are physically unable to book more than three storylines at the same time. That's pretty damn sad.

Oh wait, I forgot about New Breed vs Origials too. 'k, that's been well built up, actually, but no one pays attention to ECW, so it suffers there.
