Official WrestleMania Card Thread
Let's discuss the matches for the biggest card of the year, both confirmed and rumored.
Official: John Cena vs. The Rock Rumored: Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk (WWE Championship) Undertaker vs. HHH Shaq vs. Big Show What other matches could you see? What about the WHC? Personally, I could see a Sheamus-Kane match. Secretary of the Interior |

Kane/Taker?
Taker returns to put an end to Kane's path of destruction. |

Kane vs Mysterio for the mask record Vince wanted to set with Mysterio and Sin Cara.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Henry win the title back and defend it against Orton with the history of Orton just not being able to beat him. |

I hope they bring back MITB as was rumoured a couple of weeks ago. So much talent will be left off the card if they don't.

If they bring back MITB, they need to cancel the MITB PPV. It's too much.

However, if something should happen where the World Title becomes vacant, an 8 or 10 man ladder match for the title would be pretty awesome.
Or just make it for the IC Title to piss off Cody Rhodes. |

Also I'm not too fond on all these big names and returning wrestlers this year. The Rock is pretty much a fucking megastar right now. In terms of celebrity name value, he should be enough. He's a mainstream superstar, and he'll bring in the wrestling fans.
Guys like Shaq O'Neil (is he even still relevant anymore?), Goldust potentially retuning to face Cody, and rumours of Ryder facing 'the situation'... who/whatever the fuck that is... basically results in more instances of Daniel Bryan and Sheamus being bumped off the card, Wade Barrett and the Corre and Kofi Kingston/Kane etc being in a one-minute squash, and John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler spending approximately two minutes in the ring. WWE has a fucking amazing roster right now. I know not everyone can get a spot at Wrestlemania, and I understand WWE using celebrities to make it more of a cultural event than just a wrestling PPV, but dammit I don't want to see so many awesome talents lose their place at the 'Grandaddy of the All' for a celebrity no one cares about (I think). |

I am really not too keen on seeing HHH versus Undertaker again but I suppose in storyline it would make sense and bring finality to the feud. Especially considering HHH's comments a couple weeks back in reference to leaving the Undertaker laying and indisposed for a year.

I don't care to see it again either but at this point, there's not really any better options.

most of your card was either possible or somewhat possible but this match is fuck stupid. why do people think a match like this would make Mania? come on this isnt even worthy of backlash

yeah hhh vs taker sadly will happen i think. Too bad but I guess it could be a good match if they do something different.
If they didnt overuse the HIAC PPV they could have done that for the first time. The two big HIAC guys HHH vs Taker - first time - streak vs career. would have been so big but I think they should let Taker rest til WM 29 and do Taker/Cena next year. Rock/Cena can carry this card, 2nd or 3rd biggest match in wrestling history. Taker should be the focus if he will be going 20-0 or retiring. I say do it next year. No chance Austin/Punk happens cause Austin knows it aint worth it and Punk has been going downhill fast |

Yeah, no one would wanna see an 8 man ladder match for the world title featuring those 8 at such a prestigious show as Backlash...

8 is too much, gets too messy look at the 8 man MITB. would you want to see a 50 man royal rumble? also why is a guy like justin gabriel in a main event at WM 28?

The Smackdown MITB match last year was fucking fantastic. What the hell are you talking about? And you know who was in that match? Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Justin Gabriel, Sheamus and Wade Barrett...

I thought it was too messy works better with 6. Remember WM 21 so much better storytelling. anyway even so it could slide for MITB PPV c-show but the #1 show wrestlemania and for the SD Title? Come on if you dont admit that match is a terrible idea and Vince would never do it then I think you make R-Truth look sane

Who said Vince would do it?
And last year's SD main event opened the show. Why? Because there were other Main Events where one on one feuds could take center stage. You still haven't explained why it would be so terrible outside you think it would be a mess, which again, you're in the minority of thinking SD's MITB ladder match was not good. |

Because those guys are not ready for a Wrestlemania world title match. Justin Gabriel is a jobber in January 2012 why is he in a main event of the biggest ppv in history three months later? how would this logically come about storyline wise? what would happen at Elimination chamber that would lead to this 8 man ladder match, it just makes no sense, is completely messy and has guys who have no business in this spot in there. what would the build up be? are you trolling me

If it does come to HHH vs. 'Taker with HBK as guest ref, I can see Shawn costing HHH the match.

Its possible but extremely unlikely. Wouldnt that basically mean an HHH/HBK feud? I think HBK is actually never going to wrestle again but then again they did Nash/HHH so completely unnecessary rehashed feud is possible

they should just hold off on Taker. They dont need him this year. Rock/Cena is big enough. Do Taker/Cena next year.
Rock/Cena Punk/Jericho For Smackdown maybe heel Bryan/Orton with momentum coming back from injury I would love to see HHH face Barrett or Ziggler. Would be big for them if he put them over |

In all honesty, I think the streak should remain intact. As much hate as 'Taker gets from smarks, he's quite possibly, overall, the greatest of all time. He deserves this distinction to set him apart from every one else. |

Why would they put a cocky heel in such an unfair match when people on RAW have gotten in less trouble for way worse things. And why is a guy like Justin Gabriel invovled.
Not next, horrible explanation. You would be the worst booker ever. The IWC would hate you so would Vince's wallet lol |

And the fact that you've used the word "messy" constantly after I've told you how stupid that theory is after the SD MITB match was widely considered a great match makes me think you're just in "no read, just type" mode.

And just because a match was good doesnt make it a logical choice for a Wrestlemania main event. your reason is this: - DB is cocky (like 100% of heels) and thus must put his title on the line against seven other people and in a ladder match. who would do this? Teddy long? seems kind of extreme and unlikely thing that he would do - The SD MITB Ladder match was a good match |

Jesus fucking Christ, have you ever watched wrestling before? And what the fuck does what people have gotten in trouble for on Raw have to do with anything, you tool? And Justin Gabriel is involved for the same reason he was involved in the MITB match. Awesome spots. I don't give a fuck where is card placement is now and neither did WWE. He was good for some cool moments and the occasional "OMG the ultimate underdog might do it" moment. |

Or I can see HHH beating 'Taker, only to have the match restart because 'Taker's foot was under the rope or something.

Key word being such. It is overkill. Of course a face GM would put a heel in an unfair match but what is the reason for putting him in such a ridiculously unfair match? That seems like something a HEEL GM would do to a babyface to make him an underdog and get cheers. And yes the WWE does care about card placement AT Wrestlemania. That is why Daniel Bryan didnt even get to wrestle on the show at WM 27 because a Rock promo is higher on "card placement". Your argument would make sense for a MITB at WM but not for a World Title match. You are making a fool of yourself. |
