As of right now, the Wrestlemania card looks amazing, one of the best cards in WM history. The only problem I see is this: Where does HHH vs. Undertaker go on the card? Rock/Cena has been billed as the main event ever since they shook on the match 11 months ago. They need to have the crowd be hot for that match, but they run the risk of burning the crowd out if HHH/Undertaker goes before or near it. Also, I'm betting that if there isn't a MITB match, one of the world title matches (probably Sheamus/D.Bryan) is opening the show. I can see this being the line up for the ME matches: #1 - Main event - Rock vs Cena (the match the entire show was built on and sold tickets to) #2 - Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan (the least important "big" match for crowd reaction to me, somewhere between a match that'll get good reactions but not require the audience to blow their heads off at all points, put it before Rock/Cena if there's no proper rest match) #3 - Hell in a Cell (being a gimmick match the highspots will take a load of fan energy up, stick it around the middle of the card so fans can regain energy after it etc) #4 Punk vs Jericho (pains me to put this so far down the card, but given the personalities involved I'd say putting this near the start of the card will do wonders for the fan response/volume level instead of putting it after HIAC) Obviously I don't really care what order it's in, I'll be screaming for everything, but thinking from the angle of crowd energy that makes the most sense to me. Right now this could be one of the best Wrestlemania cards of all time, managing to cater to a lot of different fans with the main events. Hell if they do bring back MITB, have Shaq vs Show, and Beth vs Kharma I really don't see how they can improve it. I'd let Punk and Jericho kick off. On a card This strong It'd be great to kick off with something tiis strong to get the crowd realizing this aint their father's WrestleMania I'd book it where Jericho did something so einous Tat Punk jumps him while he's being intervied beats and drags him down to te ring grabs a pipebomb says he aint waiting to kick is ass. and calls for a ref.

I think the perfect sum-up for this Mania is the fact that as Jericho and Punk stared each other down to end Raw, the commentators were talking about the fact that Rock will be there next week.
Anyway, I figure Bryan / Sheamus will open the show. Maybe that spot will go to Money in the Bank or Jericho / Punk, but kind of doubt it - think my pick for it would be Jericho / Punk though, if only because the crowd will be more invested in it and I'm getting serious letdown vibes from it.

Could someone please explain why everyone is speculating Show vs. Shaq? It seems very random to me

If we are getting the HITC suspended in the air this year I dont think we will get a cube/cylinder entrance thing this year as well. Hope they will though as one of those and the HITC suspended just to make it the most epic thing ever invented by man . I wonder what the stage itself is going to be like to go with the tarpaulin

This is seriously such a badass looking card this year. Should be a great show.

Seems they may build towards Cody vs. Show. I heard the Shaq rumors as well though.

Given that Hell in a Cell is on the card, I'd be *stunned* if they had Money in the Bank. With that in mind, here's my best stab at the card:
Main Event The Rock vs. John Cena
WWE Title CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho
World Heavyweight Title Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus
Hell in a Cell The Undertaker vs. Triple H
6 Man Tag Team Match: GM Control on the Line Christian, Alberto Del Rio and Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio and Santino Marella
Grudge Match Zack Ryder vs. Kane w/Eve
Intercontinental Title The Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes
World Tag Team Championship R-Truth and Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger vs. The Miz and a partner vs. Primo and Epico
Diva's Championship Kharma vs. Beth Phoenix

Anyone else bored by the fact that so far the two world title match angles basically come down to:
1. YOU STOLE MY CATCHPHRASE, YOU WANNABE 2. I WON THE RUMBLE
I seriously hope they use these next 5 weeks wisely.

I WON THE RUMBLE I seriously hope they use these next 5 weeks wisely. I could see Randy sneaking into the D-Bry/Sheamus match by claiming "Hey, you beat Jericho at the Rumble, I kicked his head off twice!" and Teddy long will use it as justification to let Randy in. What? It's pretty consistent with how crap Teddy Long is at dealing with his primadonna stars...

I WON THE RUMBLE I seriously hope they use these next 5 weeks wisely. Eventually, I imagine that both feuds will turn into this: 1. We don't like each other, so let's cut awesome promos until our match. 2. Sheamus to Bryan: "You need to pay!" AJ shenanigans; wrestling Viper or reffing Viper is added to the mix.

I was trying to figure out how they were going to have the Hell in a Cell cage set up since they're running in an outdoor stadium. I think this would be the first Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania since 'Taker/Big Bossman at WMXV unless there was one since then.

He'll probably lead Team Long while Del Rio will lead Team Laurinitis. I'd also hope for it to be a 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 elimination match, instead of just one fall.

Any chance that they will bring back the 16ft Hell in a Cell as it would be easier to hang than the 20ft cell? Iv always prefered the older smaller version, more spots can be done instead of the crazy height of the second version.
I can imagin the 16ft hanging but I just cant picture the bigger one being able to hang without a load more rigs, and obstructing a load of views from the audience.
