Also I don't buy this nonsense about John Morrison not being 'big enough' to feud with Miz at WM. Since the Royal Rumble everyone's been abuzz about the guy, and not just smarks. This board =/= "everyone". Cena is the company's biggest draw. Morrison couldn't hold a candle to him in terms of drawing power. Miz is generating a lot of mainstream attention. Morrison would draw exactly none. Nobody in the mainstream gives a flying shit about Morrison. Morrison may (or may not) be increasing in popularity among casual fans. However, he doesn't have anywhere near the drawing power or popularity needed to carry a Wrestlemania main event. Wrestlemania main events are where your biggest draws face off. It's not meant for midcarders who you're hoping to build up to main event level. That's what filler PPVs are for.

I need to correct something from the original post.
WWE does not believe in Blow-Off matches.

You need one of the major names in a title match at Mania. If you took Cena out of the title match and had two unproven stars(I'm a Miz fan but he has done terribly in segments he's been put in the past few weeks and Morrison is untested as a draw) in the main event at Mania it would be a terrible idea. And if you went the alternative route and had a Cena/Rock type match as THE main event with just Miz/Morrison as the title match it'd basically be a glorified midcard match.

He's getting the same reactions he's been getting for quite a while now. And i noticed you didn't address the rest of my post. Morrison still cannot hold a candle to either Cena or Miz in terms of popularity, drawing power, or ability to draw mainstream attention. He's popular, yes. But is he "Wrestlemania Main Event" popular? Not by a long shot.

If Cena/Rock is the main event, the rest of the card does not matter. Miz/Morrison would actually be a distant third, as I'm certain the Taker/HHH match would be considered more important in the eyes of both the WWE and the fans, and would probably be pushed harder.

Third? With the WHC match, it could possibly be fourth. And Punk/Orton would get just as much time. So maybe 5th.
Of course the Rock is not wrestling so this all for nothing.

I forgot about Punk/Orton for a sec, so I agree with fourth. However, I still believe that Edge/ADR is incredibly weak, and think that Miz/Morrison would top it. So I'll stick to fourth.

Edge/ADR at least has the benefit of being the only big Smackdown only match. The others are all on RAW.
Either way both the title matches would be pretty low. Which while WWE can kinda get away with one being like that, they can't do that with both titles.
