After thinking about it a little, I'd consider going with Randy Orton vs. Dave Batista as the main-event for Wrestlemania. The match won't be the greatest (or even good?), but here's my rationale behind this:

1) The interpromotional match (champ vs. champ perhaps?) would generate interest.

2) If Orton and Batista can look unbeatable from now until Wrestlemania, it can add to the hype.

3) Randy Orton and Dave Batista are one of the few guys at current that haven't been around forever (i.e. like Jericho, Triple H, Edge, Undertaker, HBK, etc.), or are too green (i.e. Ken Kennedy, MVP), or simply aren't looked at as legit main-eventers (i.e. Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio).

If the WWE wants to move forward, then they need to stop living in the past (so perhaps this is why Jericho, Triple H, Edge, Undertaker, and HBK shouldn't be the main-event......although if Jericho becomes huge again, then I'd change my mind). On the other hand, the WWE can't be having guys who are too green, or guys that the fans' simply don't perceive as main-eventers.

For me? Orton vs. Batista.

If Cena was still around? Cena vs. Batista.

I'd def have gone with Cena vs Batista title for title this year if he were around.

Just from a business standpoint and the fact they're the faces of their respective show, and got pushed around the same time and never faced off.

At this point I'd like to see Edge vs Taker and I wish Jericho/Orton was being built for Mania instead of fuckin Armageddon

**Jeritron** · 12-02-2007, 01:33 AM

Yea they're having a match at Armageddon

**Jeritron** · 12-02-2007, 01:34 AM

who knows, maybe Jericho will win the title at Armageddon or Rumble and someone will face him. I doubt it at this point, but it seems like everyone including myself is just assuming Orton's in the Wrestlemania main event when he very well could be slated to drop the belt before the event.

I agree with Heyman

Hindu World Order has it right

If Cena wasn't injured, a Cena vs. Batista babyface vs. babyface classic would've been fresh for WM.

**The Naitch** · 12-02-2007, 01:47 AM

Thing is, Orton has to really gain some serious momentum going into WM as Champ

He just looks like some heel with the title. Then again, he won it, due to circumstance. If this was summer 2004, it would've been different, but from then he was jobbing to Taker daily, jumping back to RAW, being his dad's sidekick so he lost that aura about him

And it doesn't look like he's getting anything back. Transitional champ, or 'keep Cena's belt warm until he returns' Champ

**Jeritron** · 12-02-2007, 01:47 AM

Assuming Orton retains until WM and doesn't face Jericho, Hardy, HHH or HBK....I'd put him against Batista in a unification match. Their fued is basically written, from the days of Evolution and their little run in at WM22

A Jericho vs HBK rematch featuring a different outcome sounds about right.
And a 3 stages of Hell match between HHH and Hardy sounds good to me too

Barbed Wire Cage Elimination Six Man Tag Match

Rey Mysterio, Hornswaggle and Maria
vs
Khali, Umaga and Mark Henry

w/Linda McMahon as the special guest enforcer

**The Naitch** · 12-02-2007, 01:51 AM

Jericho vs. HBK isn't a big enough draw for this years' WM main event. It's only a smarks dream. A strong '2nd Main Event' but not THE main event
