Actually, while I'm not pumped about this year's WrestleMania, this is the most excited I've been in a Mania for some time. Triple H matches are always just "Triple H matches," but this story with Orton, although ridiculous at points, actually has somewhat of a good story to it. While I'm sure the match won't be a WrestleMania classic, I'm sure the story coming out of WrestleMania between those two will be exciting.
The Triple Threat is a horrible idea. How many fucking Triple Threats do we need to see at WrestleMania. At least Big Show is in another Mania title match. I would have been more excited to have seen just Edge vs. Show, but that's not going to happen.
I understand people's complaints about Money in the Bank, but if you take out the slightly blander bits of this year's match, you can see a lot of awesomeness. Lower expectations for this match is what they're going for, I think, so it can blow people away. Besides, sometimes it seems like MITB is the same every year. This year, the addition of Mark Henry instantly makes it stand-out against other incarnations of the match.
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker WILL be a WrestleMania classic. This is where any money you put towards the PPV becomes worth the while. Hopefully, this match is epic.
The brother vs. brother feud is sort of getting lost in the shuffle that is the epicness of WrestleMania, but they will have a sleeper match, I think. Both Matt and Jeff Hardy are better workers than they were in 2001 (that was over seven fucking years ago), so this match and feud could turn out to be pretty good.
If John Morrison & The Miz versus The Colons is added to the card, there is another sleeper. These two teams have been tearing it up on SmackDown! recently, and I expect they will bring their A-games to WrestleMania.
Miss WrestleMania is a concept that I am actually for. It's better than your usual Playboy girl facing the Women's Champion shtick. You'll have some good female workers in there, too. I don't think this will be as shit as people make out, and will actually be quite fun.
JBL defending the IC Title at WrestleMania for the first time in seven years will be incredible. I just hope it is Rey Mysterio he faces, and not Vladimir Kozlov.
The ECW Championship will probably be on the line, as well, with Jack Swagger defending against Evan Bourne, I think. Bourne and Christian could probably have swapped places with things being fine, but I'm actually thinking they want to push Swagger as undefeated at WrestleMania, perhaps for a future encounter with The Undertaker? This will be a fun match, and people will get to see these two men in their rookie WWE year tear it up over the company's third highest ranked title.
