Ive heard people say "this Mania is going to suck because most of the titles are not being defended".
Personally I think that line of thinking is, well, dumb.
Most of the titles have very little value, and therefore they would only take down the quality of the show by having them defended. Would a match with Regal and Tajiri against La Res really add anything to Mania? What about Rey and Eddie against the Bashams instead of Rey vs Eddie? Or maybe a Orlando title defense against Booker T, woudl that really put Mania over the top? Not bloody likely.
The Chavo-London thing got nixed probably because of time restraints more than anything, and yeah it would be nice to see ANY match to take the place of Akebono-Show, but at the same time I can see their logic for that match.
I would have put the IC title on the line in the Ladder Match, maybe along with the World Title shot, that would have actually elevated the IC title, instead of making it seem worthless.
Also, since they didn't book a match for OJ and the US title, its looking more and more rediculous that they took the US title off Cena. So that could have been title for title.
But all that said, I think the card is very solid, and the fact that most of the titles are not being defended really doesn't bother me that much.
