So...with Elimination Chamber in the books, let's look at the WM card
I'm guessing the following matches are locks:
WWE Championship: John Cena w/ Bret Hart vs. Batista w/ Mr. McMahon World Heavyweight Championship: Edge vs. Chris Jericho The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels Mask vs. Hair: Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk Randy Orton w/ Bob Orton vs. Cody Rhodes w/ Dusty Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase w/ Ted DiBiase Some sort of unification match between the Women's and Divas titles It's being widely rumored that MITB won't be around this year, which blows and will leave a lot of guys off the card who should be there...I'm also guessing Triple H and Sheamus will have a match since Sheamus got eliminated by Triple H in the Chamber, but it's possible they do something different with them. --- Now then, while I get that Batista/Cena is the smart main event from the money-making standpoint, it underwhelms me personally. I was expecting it to be on the card, and end with Bret Hart locking Vince in the Sharpshooter, which is fine and dandy...but it being the main event means we already know how WM ends. I know you go into WM expecting the face to win, but usually they at least do a good enough job in buildup to keep you on your toes (like last year, I thought Orton would actually win). With Cena getting screwed out of the title and them bringing BRET HART back, there is absolutely no way they can suspend my disbelief enough to think Cena won't win the match. Probably the most predictable WM outcome since 2003. So in that regard, it's like going to a movie and already knowing the ending. But anyway...I'm interested in seeing how they fill out the undercard, especially if Money in the Bank is indeed scrapped. ![]() |

As if Cena w/ Bret vs Batista w/ Vince wasn't a big enough match on its own...

Hell, if I had to pick one of them to be the main event title match...I would have rather it been Taker/HBK because at least that would have been an unpredictable main event. Even with them taking time off after Mania, they could at least appear at the April PPV to drop the belt (particularly Taker who isn't at most TV shows anyway). |

I don't see them doing a Triple Threat that doesn't involve a title or some type of prize for the winner. So not sure about the Legacy match but everything else looks spot on.
Triple H not having a clear cut feud is pretty cool actually, usually he is set in stone to wrestle for the title by now. Maybe they can do a #1 contender match for the title that isnt MITB and have Trips win that |

Triple H and Sheamus could have a street fight or something. It's about the only way I could care about either man, and it least it gets a gimmick match on the card.
Definitely think Edge/Jericho should be the main event though. Considering Edge won the Rumble (I know this means nothing anymore though). Also they should have MITB, but if there's a MITB PPV then they'll probably leave it out, which is a shame. |

I really hope they do something with Triple H besides face Sheamus because even I don't give a fuck about that match, and I am a Triple H ubermark.

Punk vs. Rey is sorta like the main event for me. Buildup will probably be fantastic, match should be great...but again, you KNOW the outcome since Rey has said several times he would quit before unmasking again and WWE makes fuckloads on those kiddie masks. But since it's the undercard, it's not that big of a deal.

I'm kind of hoping Rey vs Punk is just a regular singles match. I don't want punk to lose that glorious long hair.

Go with a swerve and he just shaves his chest and beard if he loses. Because he's better than you.

![]() It's good that at least Punk will finally get a proper match at Mania. |

my outlook on triple h and being involved in WM26 is that he will somehow get himself into the match with hbk/taker. i said in the other thread that it will give us a fresh look at hbk/taker, put trips in an upper card match (at the expense of the putting on a great match). he can't possibly be thrown into the title matches the way the feuds are set up at this point. will add some unpredictability to taker's streak as well. with sheamus having a beef with him he can try to cost him the match as well. will keep a push to the younger guys, no matter how much everyone hates him. and i could actually see sheamus trying to cost trips the match only to somehow give him the win, thus ending taker's streak in the way to surely piss the most people off and give him even more heat. of course there's a ton of other ways that match could go if it was done.

If this were to be the card of Mania, Id be intrigued in every match but Cena/Bats, not only cause it would be predictable, but I cant stand either one of them.

Agreed... Boring... But, I was so pissed at Cena winning, I went out to get popcorn immediately (Here in Cancun we can see the PPV for about $10 at a movie theater.... Badass...) And I missed the Bats spear.... But the replay was awesome!

I hope they do Cena/Batista and Vince/Bret in different matches. If not it would be great to see Bret screw Cena for a turn of events. Cena is a cool guy, but I'm tired of him winning all but one of his WM title matches. Would really like to see Edge/Jericho in a ladder match for the title. Now that would be great.

Dude, Triple H uses anabolic steroids.
Anybody involved, or hell, has even had a passing interest in natural and/or professional bodybuilding can see that somebody his size, let alone keeping in mind his age and schedule, is on roids. |

Please give me scientific proof of this opinion. Just because you and every other cynical asshole doesn't have the heart, determination, spirit, work ethic, and attitude of "The Game" Triple H to get that kind of body doesn't mean anybody with that physique is on steroids. Triple H has actually lost a lot of muscle tone over the years, and "The King of Kings" is even somewhat chubby. I suggest you quit presenting opinion as fact, and claiming to have a knowledge of something you do not. I will contact Paul Levesque and let him know of your slanderous and libelous claims. May KLIQ have mercy on your soul, sir!

Cena/Bats
Jericho/Edge Punk/Rey MITB (I hope) HBK/Taker/H Bret/Vince I agree that Bret and Vince should have a seperate match. This is likely Bret's last Mania, and it shouldn't be tied in with Cena/Bats. He should have his own moment. I think adding Trips to the HBK/Taker fued would be interesting. It gives H something to do. Ideally, he'd be booked to continually prevent HBK from winning, only to be the one who does the job to Taker. They could then run an HBK/H program from there. I really, really hope MITB is on the card, as I cannot fathom a gimmicked PPV being cenetred around that particular match. I just don't understand how it would work. If this match does go through, I would think that The Miz, Kolfi, or Christian would have the best chance at winning it if they were involved. If no MITB, then there should be decently built programs for both the US and IC titles. I wouldn't mind a final Miz/MVP payoff here. |

Batista v. Cena for the championship is fine with me. I'd rather Jericho v. Edge main eventing but that doesn't matter.
Batista/Cena at Summer Slam 2008 was actually pretty good so to see the rematch wouldn't be all that bad. The build should be pretty good. I've written a whole thread about how much I hate Batista but as a heel he's pretty damn good. |

*shakes his head.*
He was unmasked the first time at that one WCW ppv. He was unmasked again a few days (weeks?) later in Mexico, in a match against Psicosis. The fans in Mexico booed him out of the building more or less for putting the mask back on. |

I'm going to Mania, and I hope Bret and Vince go one on one. I know its wrestling, and they'll figure it out...but the "broken leg" is going to be hard to explain...who can come back from a broken leg in 5 weeks? I hated the car crash angle. I hope they figure out a good way to do that match.
