the johnny ace era is upon usgamerguy456

i'd rather have him than Mr. Probation running both Raw & Smackdown

Well that's one way to get everyone who's currently doing nothing on the card!

TGM_basic

yup, there's your MITB ladder match as well

I say it ends in a draw and we get new GMs.

Damn, I need to become a writer ASAP 

I'm still hopeful to see Jinder Mahal involved at Wrestlemania in some capacity. If at all possible involved in the main event would be even better. It could be like Bret Hart vs Austin at WM 13. Rock could win, but there could be a double turn.

The crowd would recognize Jinder's amazing talent and effort level and turn him face, while The Rock becomes a heel in his own hometown. WWE Creative is ruining this company and passing that opportunity

I was glad The Miz lost and he's a face because he could possibly be on Smackdown to join Teddy's team. I would enjoy that.shoe_crap78

The Miz didn't turn face. He just lost to Punk.

1. It was his home town.

2. Heels get cheered for all the time. Take Jericho for example. Hell, Punk was getting cheered for before he turned face.

Punk was pretty much a heel until Survivor Series.

altercation took place on Extra tonight, during an interview with Kelly Kelly done by Maria Menounos, Eve & Beth Phoenix interfered and then challenged Kelly Kelly & Maria to a tag team match at WM28, according to WWE officials, this match is officially made

(why is this match even happening?)

That seems like a real pointless...

hockeydude29

that is true, at least Maria is actually hot, and she has wrestled in WWE before in a few matches

another divas match with a celebrity, at least it's not Snooki....hockeydude29

Killer: Ok, I understand

[QUOTE="hockeydude29"] another divas match with a celebrity, at least it's not Snooki....shoe_crap78

even if she wasn't, nobody wants her back in the ring, hell i don't even think Snooki wants back in the ring either

- I really think the card at this years WM is the weakest of ever maybe. I mean when we look at it. We've got-

Rock/ Cena- I'm on the fence about. I like The Rock and I think the reason why is because he was one of my favorites as a kid. But this... guy we're seeing isn't the same Rock I used to cheer like crazy for when I was a kid.

To be honest I'm not really sure what it is. Maybe my tastes just changed. Maybe he's out of touch. Either way this Cena- Rock feud is starting to become very overrated.

Its like they just don't mesh together or something, Rock worked amazing with guys like Stone Cold, Triple H, Jericho, etc. But John Cena is... well John Cena. Or maybe things have just changed so much since 2001. Rock seems so off and not the same any more

Bryan vs Sheamus will be excellent wrestling wise. No doubt about it their two of the most talented in the ring. I just can't really force myself to care about the story....

Kane vs Orton- No build up, it was just thrown together almost like WWE hit the panic button and realized they had to get Orton and Kane on the card. I've got no reason to care about that match either

Jericho vs Punk is the 1 thing I'm looking forward to the most. and probably it'll be the shining moment of WM

Show vs Cody- I like Cody, he's got a great future. but we've seen what happens with Big Show feuds with people... hoping they give Cody the win here though

Team Long vs Team Lauranitis- Its good guys are getting on the card but in the end what does it do for any of the actual wrestlers?

just my 2 cents

I'm not sure about worst card ever, though this WM really is looking quite weaksauce right now. Cena/Rock I alternate from week to week between either really looking forward to it, or flat out not giving a damn about it. I'm currently going through a "don't care" week with these two. This has just been a completely inconsistant fued, and while I'm sure the match will be great, I just can't stress enough how I just want this nonsense to end already.

Taker/Trips is similar. The fued was boring from the get-go, then the announcement of HIAC was interesting, but not even a week after the fact I already just didn't give a damn about this pointless, dull, boring fued. And the inclusion of Michaels makes me care even less about it than I did. Like Cena/Rock, the thing I'm looking forward to most is for this crap to just freaking be over with.

I guess the most important matches after those two would be the world title matches, but you'd never know that watching the program. The world titles are being treated like midcard titles at this point. At least in years past there was at least one world title match given a proper main event angle leading into Mania, but this year both titles have been completely overshadows by Cena/Rock and Trips/Taker. Not to mention that I still have trouble buying Bryan as a credible world champion, which only becomes even more troubling as he's about to walk into Mania as the defending champion. I'm sure both matches will be great, Punk/Jericho especially, but when the WWE doesn't even care about their own world champions, why should I?

Then after that, like you said, everything else is just an afterthought. Kane/Orton is one of the most random, thrown together match-ups I've seen heading into a Wrestlemania, and there's not a single thing in the world they could do to get me to care about Cody/Show. Hell, Big Show in general is boring as hell these days.

I'm just so sick of the old guard always butting their way onto the card this time of year, and this year it's worse than ever. While watching a little of Raw at a friend's house, he commented how the state of the E is sort of like how WCW was in its dying days, all of the old guys just sticking around, taking the young talent's spot and not knowing when to hang up the tights. And really, that's exactly what's happening right now.

I don't care about Rock, I don't care about Taker, I don't care about Trips, I don't care about Big Show, I don't care about any of these guys anymore. Yet, whenever it comes this time of year, they all come out of the wood work to pick up their big paychecks, only to disappear again for the rest of the year.

And, just, I don't even know where I'm going with this, but with Wrestlemania just a few weeks away, I just flat out don't give a f*ck about the show. The buildup has been horrendous in years past, but never, ever as bad as it's been this year. The card technically looks decent, but I'm being given literally no reason whatsoever to give a crap about any of it...

TGM_basic

Exactly man, maybe weakest was a little harsh though the card for sure leaves alot to be desired. And I feel the same way, i mean they've got 1 of the biggest matches of all time coming up with Rock and Cena and their idea to build that is a sing off? really? Yeah this Rock- Cena stuff is taking the spotlight off everyone else. Not only that but every forum you go to now its always a bunch of arguing over whose better between the 2. Plus all the twitter references get really old. Why should the average wrestling fan really care whats trending?

I also have no clue why their doing HHH/ Taker again. Probably because they think it'll draw. Though with Undertaker in his final stages of his career. Why not have him work with a guy who could benefit from it? not someone semi retired like Triple H? much less in a match we've seen multiple times

And yeah DB feels so much like a mid carder its not funny. I was 1 of the guys who wanted him to get the belt. Then when this vegan stuff started it just felt like a poor mans version of Punks SES days. Plus with Sheamus he's booked sooo strong that it's impossible to imagine him losing clean. I was never really into Sheamus at all

And yep just like Trish Stratus mentioned in an interview she wanted to come back for Mania this year. She just wants that mania check then she'll vanish. In the end she wont do anything to change or improve the WWE product. I mean some people look down on others for streaming but there's NO way I'd spend $ 50 or however much it is to order the PPV

im mixed on this card as well its far from the one i anticipated i was thinking

rock/cena

punk/jericho

HHH/taker

beth/Natty

MITB

rhodes/goldust

well since the big show injured barrett the money in the bank match is gone but the tag team match is fine might as well get that storyline over with

obviously just like you guys the one im looking forward to the most is jericho/punk

I'm really not interesting in Randy Orton vs Kane.

Killer, will you give us a stream for WrestleMania?

I can't believe a month ago I was considering buying this pile of crap.

card isnt that bad actually

atleast the divas get a match this year

also

cena/rock + a whole year to build up= medicore

punk/jericho + 2 months to build up= awesome

you know 1 year ago everyone was looking forward to rock/cena but i bet if you go ask other wrestling fans now their main match is punk/jericho

also that pic of K2 is...art
