"The ****ing transvaginal ultra-rematch match, or some ****. I dunno"

Alberta Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger for the WHC
"Zenophobia Weed Megamatch"

The Undertaker vs. CM Punk for some reason
"Undele: Set Fire to the Reign"

Triple H vs Brock Lesnar

The Shield vs The Alliance to End Shieldamania

Team Hell No vs Big-E and Zig-E for the Tag Team Titles

Chris Jericho vs FANDANGO in the best match on the card.

I like the idea of Mark Henry vs Ryback, but agree with what ya said in the other thread, it doesn't make much sense for Ryback to not be involved with the Shield.

I'm guessing Triple H-Lesnar will be dope, despite that I'm not particularly excited to watch it. They'll add a sweet stip soon. So, fine.

I have to start getting myself excited for Rock-Cena again. Maybe this year, unlike last year, I'll fail to do it and then they'll tear the house down. Fingers crossed.

No idea what to expect with Punk Taker.

Most excited for the Del Rio-Swagger match.

What's with the knock on Barrett, not a fan?

I'm afraid Del Rio Swagger will jerk and only get 10 minutes. It'll probably warm up the crowd nicely, but won't steal the show or anything. Hopefully they get 15, but it's a stacked card and that doesn't seem likely.

I'd rather Khali.

The match could be just over 18 seconds for all I care, it's the only one on the current card that doesn't have a pre-determined result. 3 different guys could be champion.

Not digging the Stan Hansen comparisons from JBL?

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan, but never looked at him in a "this guys sh*t" kinda way.

When it comes to Wrestlemania, I'm not overly concerned with predictability. Last year I was excited for Taker-H, Rock Cena, and Bryan-Sheamus. All of which had a predictable outcome. And the fact the middle one actually gave us the unpredictable finish didn't save the match.

But yeah, the Ziggler factor does make it a lot more exciting. Especially being there live.

I don't consider myself a Barrett fan but he's grown on me. His recent match with Del Rio was great and he's showed before he can have decent matches... he's also had more than enough poor ones. I've never been a fan of his promo's but the recent movie star thing has been funny.

I don't think I'd care if he was ****. He's just so mind numbingly average that I can barely stand it when his music plays.

Especially when it comes to Mania I think the card is usually predictable. If you pick just the faces you'll have a pretty good record. And when it comes to the top of the card matches heels almost never win. This year I could actually see a heel winning one of the top matches. We've got a kind of a triple main event and of course Taker will win, Cena will in all likelihood win (although that's a face v face match), but I could definitely see Lesnar winning after he resigned for 2 more years.

For stanfords sake I hope the weather is nice, but part of me wants to see a light snow at mania.

Well I appreciate that, because I'm terrified about the weather. I'm starting to have nightmares about it logistically. I have to calm myself down and realize that Vince probably has it under control.

I'm not really blown away by the card yet, hopefully things change as the date gets closer.

The names on the card are great, but the predictability of how the card shaped up was really disappointing.

Hopefully the matches prove to exceed expectations and we have a better mania than last year.

Stanford...thought you were a fan of Barrett during his nxt run and then after.

Post #20 » by **Stanford** » Thu Mar 7, 2013 3:17 pm

Definitely during Nexus. But that was a long time ago.
