Is anyone else not that excited about Wrestlemania?
Me and my mate order Wrestlemania every year, and I gotta say this year I'm not as excited as usual. Both the main events seem fairly bland to me. Just ANOTHER Triple H match. Cena/Edge/Big Show will be good, but I'm hardly pumped for it as I was Benoit/Michaels/HHH.
The MITB match generally looks shit. I blame this on Kane, Mark Henry, and partly Finley. I can understand having a more balanced set of wrestlers (instead of all high flyers etc), but generally this is the first MITB match that I don't care about. Michaels/Undertaker WILL be a good match, but again I'm just not pumped for it. Divas match I couldn't give a rats ass about, and the Hardy match will be great, but I'm just bitterly waiting for Jeff to win over Matt like he always does. Ummm yeah so I'm kinda treating this like any other PPV right now. Every year it's been exciting coz it's like "It's WRESTLEMANIA WOOO!!!", but this year it's more like "Yeah me and my mate are gonna order Wrestlemania". Whatever. |

Miserable sod!
No i see where your coming from. However i am looking forward to this WM. The build up for these matches i believe are better than last year which seems good in my eyes. Infact i am saying this between gritted teeth i am looking forward to a match with John Cena in it. Fuck i cant believe i just said that |

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. |

I completely forgot about Chris Jericho's program. At worst, it will be Jerry Lawler. At least then Jericho gets to go over, and look like a million bucks. At best, it'll be a massive star and increase mainstream interest in the WrestleMania card.

If I'm torn about anything, it's actually MitB. On the one hand, I love the concept of having the briefcase. But on the other hand, I hate the clusterfuck/spotfest. Don't get me wrong, there have been some great moments out of previous MiTB's, but I really don't want this to be the future of Wrestlemania forever. I would rather see a lot of these guys in traditional matches (Punk, MVP, Finlay, Benjamin) and defend the IC/US titles! I get that it's a tradition/invented concept they are doing to pretty much all their PPV's now. I just kind of wish they would move MiTB around once in awhile.

I think the last time I was excited for Wrestlemania was Wrestlemania XX.
The match that I am the most pumped about is the Jericho match. I don't even know what they are doing with it yet but I have hope. It's exciting..but I guess I expected way bigger matches. The money in the bank is always a treat but I am not looking forward to Jeff vs Matt. I am also not that excited about Triple H vs Orton either. The Cena/Edge/Big Show..now that, I am not excited for at all. Wrestlemania is still to come so hopefully some new announcements will change my opinion. |

It's Wrestlemania!! It'll be awesome. I dunno about you guys but they could put a steaming pile of turds in the ring for 4 hours and make it watchable if it's at Wrestlemania. The occasion alone in 70,000+ stadiums makes it worthwhile for me.

And that's me talking as if the card is crap, which it really isn't. One of the best in many years IMO.

To be honest I forgot about Jericho as well. Jericho and Lawler? What a waste of Jericho. And seriously, I find Jericho VS any legend to be a bit of a waste, since he could have a five star match with pretty much anyone on the roster, whilst a match with someone old like Lawler will mostly be built around Body Slams and a Dropkick.
Also another point I'd like to make about MITB, the last two years have been great because not only was it basically made of THE BEST mid-carders/main eventers around, but the potential was there for anyone to win it, (I was even hopeful of a Carlito victory last year). This year, come on let's face it, Finley, Kane and Kofi definitely won't be winning it, it's highly doubtful that Christian or Shelton Benjamin will, and if Mark Henry does I swear to God I'm am DONE with wrestling. This leaves just CM Punk and MVP, two worthy wrestlers, but none-the-less the excited of who could win is lost.

I'm looking forward to it. But then again, my feelings are pretty much the opposite of Rammsteinmad's feelings...
Triple H vs. Orton has a little more of a big match feel to it now than it has in the past. I'll agree that it's not looking to be anything I'm pumped for as it draws near, but it's something more than just the typical Triple H match to me. Definitely looking forward to Cena/Edge/Big Show. I'm loving the whole storyline right now and if more can be done to separate Cena from the other two as THE face looking to take advantage of the heels feuding over Vickie, it should add a lot of heat to the match. Personally, I was not a huge Benoit mark back in the day so Benoit/HHH/HBK, knowing Benoit was going over did nothing at all for me. This one is much less predictable. MITB is... MITB. Nothing any more special than usual but I don't see what makes it any worse than usual. Finlay, Kane and Henry don't even make up half of the guys in it and the other 5 more than make up for it. My theory is if it was a 5 man ladder match, it would be fine so throwing those three in isn't gonna hurt. They are moving props. (That being said, I'm really just playing devils advocate. I actually kinda like the three of them being in there.) Everybody and their grandmother knows Taker is going over HBK. As an HBK mark, it depresses me that my HBK moment that takes me back to when I was a kid like I had last year will not be happening this year. It will be a good match at least though... I'm interesting to see the divas battle royal and what past divas are involved. This is at least a lot more intriguing than the past couple years' divas matches at Mania. The Hardy's match has a bit of an old school brother vs. brother feud feel, which is good and of course, hopefully Jericho will be facing someone of note. Plus, it will have that "WrestleMania atmosphere" that separates it from just another PPV. |

I think MVP and Christian are actually the favorites at the moment...
I can't see Punk repeating after how badly the whole thing was butchered last year. I doubt they want to go with round two unless they are dead set on Punk going main event and staying and I can't see that. |

Just the general feeling that MVP is going leads me to believe he will take it, I mean coming fresh off a hot streak and to be in MITB, come on, I don't think he'll lose this one.

Mark Henry is going to fucking jump off a ladder and kill MVP or Finlay in the process. Of course I'm excited.
Still not interested in Hardy vs Hardy, mic skills are killing it. |
