I didn't say main event. I said headline. As in close out the show.

There aren't usually 3 or 4 marquee matches that could close out the show. Last year they called Sheamus vs Bryan and Punk vs Jericho "main events". It's a cheap way of saying "Hey, this guy was in the main event of WrestleMania". Rock vs Cena was the main event and there was no way anything else was going to come close to ousting it.

WrestleMania 27: Cena/Miz, Taker/HHH, Edge/Del Rio
WrestleMania 26: Cena/Batista, HBK/Taker, Jericho/Edge, McMahon/Hart
WrestleMania 25: HBK/Taker, HHH/Orton, Cena/Edge/Big Show
WrestleMana 24: HBK/Flair, HHH/Orton/Cena, Edge/Taker
WrestleMania 23: HBK/Cena, Batista/Undertaker

You pick 1 WM in which they booked the main event a year in advance with the return of one of the most popular stars of all time. The past 5-6 years, they have had WMs with multiple matches that could have gone on last.

Some of those had multiple matches that could go on last. In those cases, calling multiple matches the main event is justified. There was NO WAY some of those matches were gonna go on last though and thus calling them a "main event" when they're so clearly below the REAL main event/s is stupid.

Edge vs Del Rio? lol Did you really go into that WrestleMania thinking there was a genuine chance the show would close out with Edge vs Del Rio for Smackdown's WHC???

Did you think Edge/Taker would go on last over HHH/Orton/Cena or HBK/Flair? Did you think HBK/Taker would go on last over Cena/Batista?
