Runa216 said: Hmmmm, Wrestlemania card isn't looking good so far... Orton vs Batista - Two folks the crowd hates for the #1 spot. Orton is decent but Batista is rusty as hell. Cena vs Wyatt - Wyatt has proven to be capable as a performer, but this is not WM quality Taker vs Lesnar - Taker is Old, Lesnar is stiff. I can see this being one awkward match. Bryan vs HHH - I actually think this has potential, Bryan is technical, HHH has great ring psychology. There will also be matches for the other titles, so let me speculate: Intercontinental Triple Threat match - Big E vs Cesaro vs Swagger US Triple Threat Ladder Match - Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns Diva's championship - AJ vs Tamina Snuka Tag Team Four Way Elimination - New Age Outlaws vs Usos vs Brotherhood vs Rybaxel I just don't see this being all that good if you want the honest truth. I see potential in some matches (anything the Shield are involved in, the Daniel Bryan match, and MAYBE the Bray/Cena match, but really? This sounds just dumb) |
I disagree. I think it's shaping up to have potential.
Cena vs. Wyatt - This could very easily be a big passing of the torch type macth. Or Cena could overcome the odds again while still giving a main event rub to Wyatt. Wyatts last two PPV matches were the best matches on the card, and he continuously has delivered in promos. The Wyatt fans and the Cena fans are probably the complete opposite so the fan interaction in this match will be great. And love Cena or hate him, he definitely gives a big match feel for any match he is in. Pinning Cena on a PPV is almost as big as winning the Championship.
Bryan vs. HHH - No doubt this will be a good match, outside of storylines. But the success of this match storyline wise hinges on the stipulation that Bryan gets a title match if he wins. If that happens this will be a big match that the fans will be really into.
Taker vs Lesnar - This match will probably be a blood bath, two of the best big men in the ring ever and both guys like to wrestle stiff. The initial build has already elevated the tension between them in my mind already. I can't wait till Heyman and Taker go at it on the mic. And though Taker will probably go over, Brock is one of the few wrestlers that has a small chance to end the streak.
Orton vs. Batista - The potential for this match solely stems from the simple fact that the crowd is so against either man that it can't just end with one man pinning the other. Something has to happen, and it should be interesting to see what it is.
IC Triple threat - Could be a really good match. All 3 are strong wrestlers with cesaro standing out as one of the best in the company lately. There isn't much heat on any of the wrestlers at this point but if they can get more heat on Swagger over the next few weeks it could add a lot to the match. Or even set up a heel turn for Big E, as I think Cesaro is destined to be loved by the crowd.
US title triple threat - The only way I see this match working is if they can successfully turn Dean Ambrose heel and have the crowd hate him, which is pretty possible. Otherwise I don't think the audience wants to see the shield break up, and will not know what to cheer for in this match.
Diva match - Usual potty break.
Tag Titles match - Probably be a pretty good opener match. I'm not really a big fan of the Usos, but it looks like they are setting up this as being their time to finally win the belts. Which will probably get a decent pop from the audience.
Shaemus vs. Christian - these two will find their way on teh card and probably against eachother. It would be nothing more than a filler match to get these two on the card, but still it wouldn't be a bad match. They are already setting up the fued. Both wrestlers can work and it will be a classic face shaemus vs heel christian match. Something most of the card seems to lack other than the HHH/Bryan match.
That's 9 matches for Wrestlemania. Which is exactly how many matches they have had at Wrestlemania the past 3 years. I can see potential in every match. They still have 5 weeks to build the matches up. That's a lot of time.
