I finally remember where the intro to Rusev reminds me off, its like the things Aksana used to say when with Cesaro. or well maybe just the accent

Aksana used to valet Cesaro?

yes

And I'm not sure whats going on with taker vs lesnar but taker winning each encounter looks fishy to me.

Not to mention Paul building up Taker in every promo--"Cena couldn't win X number of matches in a row", "Stone Cold could only win X matches in a row", etc.  I wonder if WWE is gonna pull the trigger this year.  I'll be watching, though!

A coworker and I were having a discussion about who could legit end the streak.  Who was worthy?  We both came up with nobody.  I couldn't even think of anybody besides Lesnar worthy of posing a legit threat, to be honest.  Maybe The Rock (whom I think has never beaten Taker cleanly) but he ruined that when he sucked against Cena.

Aside from the Taker match, XXX doesn't look as big as I'd expect they would make it

Luckily, it's on $9.99 with the WWE Network for me.

I'm interested in what they'll do with the Daniel Bryan/HHH storyline, Cena vs. Wyatt, and Taker.  Not on the same level as Cena vs. Rock, Taker vs. HBK, or anything but should be an okay night.  Probably a 6/10.  They could have taken months to really build up Ziggler, Cesaro (amazing match on NXT!), and some of their other underutilized guys.  Would have made for an epic PPV but sometimes one epic match makes a whole PPV worth watching (ie: WM12 or WM13).

The saddest part about WWE Network:  They do replays of Smackdown and Raw from the late 90's.  Almost everybody in the episode had something interesting going on.  Even the minor characters like Big Boss Man vs. Al Snow had some sort of storyline.  With some of the PPV's, every match had a backstory.  At Mania, something like Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Shield just seems thrown together.  Piss poor booking for a 30 year anniversary.



So what does the Wrestlemania card look like (as far as I know, only a few matches are written in stone) and do any matches stand a chance of stealing the show?



Depends on ziggler

Bryan vs HHH  --  Will probably be brutal.  I'm guessing DB will be beat down and "injured".  HHH might not even go for the win, just pull a DQ in order to hurt DB.  Actually, I'm hoping HHH wins here and goes on to win the title!  That would be awesome.

Orton vs. Batista vs. TBA  --  Thank all that's furry that it's not just Orton vs. Batista.  That would suck so much.  Batista might win it, which would only be okay if it results in a feud with Bryan.

Taker vs. Lesnar  --  I'm thinking it will be another match with Taker being beat down only to pull out the win.  Eh.  Lesnar winning without being full-time would be lame.  I can't imagine the WWE letting anyone but Cena or Orton end the streak.

Cena vs. Wyatt  --  Could be the match of the night, though no way in hell Cena loses cleanly.  Hopefully Wyatt does get the win, though, and the feud continues.  I want a Wyatt victory coupled with a humilation session for Cena afterwards.

Shield vs. Outlaws  --  Rollins will probably steal the show again, though the Outlaws will probably hold back the Shield from really shining.

Battle Royal  --  Would surprise the hell out of me to see anyone but Show win, though Sheamus also has a shot.  Maybe Reigns will win if he's involved.  I think it's silly to have another Battle Royal so soon.

Diva's Battle Royal?  --  It's gonna suck.

Everything used to have an edge of seriousness back then, which was enhanced by allowing the characters to cut organic back-stage promos.  Now, they just have Cole TELL us about the feuds.  There is no build for anything on the mid-card now, other than an announcer saying "these guys don't like each other".  It's like the feuds are just meaningless and thrown-together, which is ridiculous for a three hour show.

TNA spends FAR too much time with long, drawn-out backstage pieces but at least they're trying to create realistic drama.  The WWE seems to have an attitude that anything not involving Cena, Triple H, or the World Titles doesn't deserve much attention.

What I really miss are tag team feuds, which used to be extremely intense.
