Batista vs. Umaga
Least anticipated interpromotional match of all times. I giving it a chance. I mean I am expecting Batista to steal the show like last year's Mania. Umaga did show his balls last year at the great american bash.

It's going to be more than a filler.

The only matches worthwhile are Flair-Michaels and the MITB spot fest.
The Edge-Undertaker match should be a good contest, but even a blind deaf retard knows the outcome. |

I have high hopes for this match, this could be the most ‘Japanese’ match on the card, 2 big guys who can move well, loads of power moves, hopefully brawling outside, honestly, think this one could be a sleeper match of the night

Yeah, I think this match will be good. I mean, Batista will need to have his work boots on, but whether or Dave does a good job at WrestleMania will probably be indicative of whether or not he goes up or down for the rest of 2008. I think we'll see a really good big man match, to be honest.
Plus, William Regal might be involved. Anything that involves William Regal is instantly awesome. Please, put Regal and Theodore Long on commentary for this match. I don't know why, but I just really want to hear it. |

No way is anything going to be stiffer than a JBL v Finlay match, unless you have Bobcore v Saturn...Or maybe throw a pissed off Scott Stiener into anything.

Woah, totally forgot about JBL/Finlay
Man the undercard for Mania this year is pretty strong I think, nothings really been put together at the last minute, shame the main events suck. Anyway, by Japanese, yeah I basically meant stiff, but not just strikes, Japanese matches tend to have loads of big power moves towards the end with close 2 counts and false finishes, I expect both guys to kick out of each others finishers and will have to pull out something special for the win |

From a total markish sort of point of view...Umaga has a more flexible and diverse move set. When power moves aren't working, he can easily hit some highflying splashes.

A little color comment to the match that you may have forgetten. Umaga(Eddie Fatu) and Batista were both trained by Afa Anoa'i.

I just hope Umaga does not wear his red tights. Those are pretty...un-Umaga-ish.

I'm with everyone who thinks this could be the sleeper match of the night. I honestly can see them putting on one hell of a fight with Umaga coming out on top. A few reasons for this:
1. It's a battle for brand supremacy, and so they'd probably want Raw to win. 2. The faces can't ALL be victorious. It's pretty obvious that one of HHH/Cena is winning, Taker is winning, there's no heel in Flair/HBK, and, hopefully, Finlay will win his match to end that storyline. A heel needs a decisive win somewhere. 3. As mentioned, Umaga hasn't had a win against a big name in quite some time. Putting him over Batista would put Umaga back on the map...and I'm sure the match would be done so that Batista comes off strong as well so he won't lose any momentum. 4. If the match rules, I can see either Batista getting drafted to Raw or Umaga getting drafted to Smackdown and they can continue feuding, and it would become a proper feud instead of just a thrown-together brand challenge. |

I'm not a fan of Batista, but the WWE needs to draft him back to RAW. The WWE should have him put over someone on the SmackDown side and then go to RAW to have a bunch of fresh feuds.

Cena should go back to smackdown! and do his word life gimmick. Batista can make a great high profile heel on Raw.

Bat's endless title shots have kind of put me off him alot, but I do like him when he's not in the main event. His book is hilarious, and YOUMANGAH is one of the best 'athletic' powerhouses the EEE have got.
