Can't wait for Rumble. One of the few PPV's I order every year. Soooo entertaining.

Only thing I can think of, Sheamus returns at RR & joins the Wyatts to screw Daniel Bryan.


Bryan vs. Sheamus
Batista vs. Orton
Punk vs. HHH
Brock vs. Taker

All **** matches we've seen before this Mania ain't looking to good so far


Agreed. That looks boring and typical to me.

Once again, here's my dream scenario, and WWE has plenty of time to let it play out-

Let Bryan win the Rumble. People will be going BONKERS for that. Then, Cena beats Orton at the Rumble, and he and Bryan main event Mania. No-brainer IMO.

I'm one of those people who can't stand Cena, but I think the story line there sells itself. That's a dream match for a lot of people. The "face of the company" vs. the guy who a lot of smart fans want to be the face of the company. Just imagine an entire football stadium in New Orleans chanting YES! at Wrestlemania as he rallies against the almighty Cena during the waning moments of that match. If Bryan actually won the title that night, it would be an all-time great Mania moment. Or, that could be the moment Cena finally turns heel. Have HHH play the role of Vince, come out with a sledgehammer and screw Bryan. Cena wins, and Bryan is as over as ever. Then you have an angle involving Cena that people would actually be invested in, and when Bryan finally wins the belt from him some time after Mania, he'll be selling more shirts than Austin did (yeah right).

As for the rest of the card..

..they NEED to have a triple threat match between the members of the Shield. Everyone wants to see that, and Mania is the perfect place to do it. And it's a great way to finally break them up and allow Roman to become a star, Ambrose to break off as a top heel, and Rollins to become a singles star of his own by pulling off some incredible spots in that match. I could see that match stealing the show actually.

Rumors of Punk vs. Austin seems almost too good to be true. But I'm all for it. Would be one of those treats for the fans that only lasts for a few weeks leading up to the PPV, and ends with the 2 guys shaking hands in the ring after the match is over.

Personally, I'd rather see Brock vs. Batista, but if they wind up doing Orton vs. Batista, I guess Brock vs. Taker is the obvious way to go. My dream scenario within a dream scenario? Brock vs. Batista and Taker vs. Sting. Not impossible, so if I were WWE, I'd be pulling out all the stops to get it done. Sting said himself that Taker was the only guy he hasn't worked with that he wishes he could. No better time than now. Fans would go nuts. Could easily be the second to last match.

As for the rest of the card, who gives a f*ck? I'm praying they get Ziggler involved in something worthwhile before it gets too late. This guy is getting screwed. I think he's the best guy they have in terms of in-ring ability and they need to put him back to work. Maybe do something with Rhodes and Goldust since all three of those guys can wrestle their asses off.

Rhodes and Goldust definitely need a match at Mania and will have one, no doubt. Wrestlemania wouldn't be complete without a fun tag-match. Maybe they can do a program with the Wyatts. And that's probably me just hoping the Wyatts have nothing to do with Bryan or any of the other main event guys for the sake of preserving my dream scenario.

Del Rio should either stay home or be beaten by Sheamus in less time than Sheamus beat Bryan that one year.

Ok.. that's all I got for now.

Just remember-

Cena vs. Bryan
Taker vs. Sting
Punk vs. Austin
Reigns vs. Ambrose vs. Rollins
Brock vs. Batista

Those are 5 must-see matches that could headline any other PPV. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.

There are some pretty big rumors of Sting to WWE @ this point. They're false every year but this year some pretty big time guys who are usually right are reporting it, actually. Fingers crossed, doubt it though.

I think at Mania, with no sting, we get

Cena vs. Wyatt
Bryan vs. Sheamus
Taker vs. Lesnar
Batista vs. Orton
Triple H vs. Punk

Seems ok, they could do better.

So many problems with wwe storylines and story telling, that I don't want to mention them all. The biggest problem is the role of the authority. Are they heels or faces. How can you pick Orton as their main guy, but then bi!ch at him every week, and then just go an hug the FACE batista on his return. There better be some kind of swerve, cause it went from being the two evil bosses that screwed the most popular babyface in Bryan, to them acting all cool and leaving their champion on his own. It makes no sense, no continuation, and I have no faith in them what so ever to have a satisfying conclusion to the storyline, which is Bryan overcoming "the machine" and winning the title. End of Rant.

I have a problem with Batista winning the rumble, since I believe he doesnt deserve it for being gone for such a long time. I'm not excited about a WM main event ,Batista vs Orton. Give the guys that have been busting their ass day and night a chance .I've never been a Batista fan, just another juiced up wrestler that gets ahead because of his size. The fans want Bryan to win, not a part time wrestler. Every rumble is predictable. Batista will come out and eliminate a bunch of jobbers ,he will face off with Reigns and eliminate him and he wins. I hope I'm wrong .

To me it's obvious that hug signified the fact hat Orton is gonna be kicked out in favor for Batista & Batista will be the new corporate champion at Wrestlemania.

I think the fact that it's hard to tell whether The Authority is leaning towards a heel or face side makes the storyline much more compelling. The WWE seems to be borrowing ideas from shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad in a sense.

Take AJ Lee for example. She's an anti-diva, and acts as a villain, but makes it impossible to root against her.

New age outlaws new tag team champions. I have to disagree again, much younger and talented wrestlers like the usos or real Americans deserve the title.

New Age Outlaws were probably brought back to put another team over, like The Usos.

I didn't foresee Goldust with the WWE past Wrestlemania. Regardless of how great he looks in the ring, 44 is 44. He's been wrestling as a full timer when he should be wrestling on a part time basis. Also, at some point Cody Rhodes needs a singles push again.

Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't mind that happening. They should lose it pretty fast. Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt was a very good match. Now this Cena vs Orton match is so boring the fans are chanting other wrestlers name.
