Matches you'd like to see added to WrestleMania

**Mr. Nerfect** · 03-19-2008, 06:01 PM

We're approaching WrestleMania, and right now the card seems pretty set, but I don't know, things don't quite seem there yet. Are there any extra matches you'd like to see added to the card? Any updates to current matches? Or are things perfect as they are?

Personally, I'd like to see Jerry Lawler vs. Santino Marella added to the card. Not a long match, or anything, but it'd serve as a great buffer between one of the many "big matches" on the card. The fans generally love Jerry Lawler, and Santino as been great, and actually has heat. Put Santino over here in a squash, as JR "bah gawds" the tenacity of this kid, who just mutilated his broadcast partner.

Brian Kendrick walked out on Paul London during RAW, and got more heat for it than Umaga got for picking apart London. It's not a very likely development, but I'd like to see William Regal take satisfaction in his destruction of one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history (as WWE.com recently decided on), and he puts them against each other in a singles bout to open the show. A lot may not agree with me, but I think London & Kendrick could have the best opening match at a WrestleMania since Bret/Owen at WrestleMania X. You know, provided they got time.

As for match changes:

I think the Triple Threat for the WWE Championship should become an Elimination Match. You know, to make the match seem more "final," as it should be for a WrestleMania.

Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels is missing something, I think. A lot of people are interested in the match, generally speaking, but I think they could bump up interest even more. Have HBK come out and announce that to motivate himself, to put on the best show at WrestleMania possible, HBK is also putting his career on the line. It would seem to telegraph the ending, but I would still put Flair over, and just have HBK turn heel and say he lied, and is sticking around. Because that's what heels should do.

Matt Hardy really should be added to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, too, because it would give the fans someone else to get behind in the match (two faces and five heels seems a little bit too unbalanced, in my opinion). Plus, if Hardy isn't in MITB, then it will probably mean he is going to win the ECW Battle Royal, which could be a great unpredictable moment otherwise. Although Kane is pretty much a lock if Hardy isn't in the match...
