I would have just done a Usos vs. Kid/Cesaro match for the tag titles instead of making it a four way. One could even add Nattie and Naomi to the match, but still make it for the tag titles. I'd just put Los Matadores and New Day in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. With the I-C ladder match, the battle royal is looking a lot weaker this year. They might as well put the battle royal on the pre-show this year.

They might as well put the battle royal on the pre-show this year. If they want to do something different, they could totally make it a four way Trios match for the titles. Sure, New Day gets a huge advantage in that situation, and Naomi and Nattie could really only interact with each other, but at least it would be different from all the other four way tag team matches in past Manias.

That blatant symbolism of that image combined with Roman likely winning the WWE Heavyweight title to apathy and/or boos would almost make the Reigns push and Bryan demotion worth it.

/photo/1 WWE sending a message to the fanbase. Isn't that a photo edit of the WrestleMania 27 set?

Sadly, in 2015, I can safety say that the match I am most looking forward to is a ladder match for the IC title.
This just doesn't feel like WrestleMania to me. They have completely botched this one.

I have to agree with you. I have followed wrestling full-time for eight years now, and this is the first WrestleMania where I just haven't had any hook to entice me towards the event. Usually, it was the Undertaker match, but I can care less about Taker/Wyatt. Heck, they screwed up Triple H & Sting. So, this is really the one match I care about due to the participants involved.

I agree that they've done very poorly with the build overall, and the Reigns thing in particular. That said, I think the show itself will be terrific. Poor build aside, I think Taker vs Wyatt and Sting vs Triple H will both be matches with a big exciting feel to them. The crowd will probably be huge for Sting and also pumped to see Undertaker again, especially after last year. I'm personally really looking forward to seeing Undertaker kick some ass.
Other than that, it is odd that the majority of the fan favs are in one ladder match, but that often worked okay in the earlier Money In The Bank ladder matches. And Rollins will probably do something awesome, possibly cashing-in even. And Brock will suplex Roman at least 100 times which will be great. I think this will be a really good WrestleMania personally.

A quick comment, I love how a lot of places are referring to Wrestlemania 31 as "Wrestlemania Playbutton" and next year will be "Wrestlemania Star". Taking away the numbers is one of the dumber ideas I've ever seen them do. The history and the legacy behind Wrestlemania which they can promote the hell out of on their network, it's just absurd.
It's like, on Mario 3D World, whenever you go past the main levels, you get naming conventions like these. I'm excited for Wrestlemania Mushroom eventually.

"Wrestlemania Stahp" would probably be fitting at this juncture. It will be a spectacle and it will have a certain oomph, but this is the first Wrestlemania since 22 that lacks that intangible Wrestlemania aura of years prior. Well, in the build thus far. They have the inside of two weeks to convince otherwise. Still, even at that, two weeks is an incredibly short time to add that air of air urgency and grandeur to what is supposedly WWE's flagship event.
I like to think of Wrestlemanias as a symbolic 'state of the union' deal. Question is, what does this 'Mania so far inform us of WWE currently?

I'm wondering if the reason the show still isn't sold out is because of the was they've f'ed up the card. I waited to get tickets (knowing all along I was gonna go) and ticketmaster started running a 2 pack special and I got club seats for $200. At that price, if we are sure Lesnar is leaving I can hit the bar before everyone else leaves.

Okay, I know I'm probably reading waaaaay too much into this. But could it be possible? Could Vince be getting that dreaded "W" word out of the company's biggest show of the year?!

OK if Roman v Lesnar goes on last as per tradition.
And this is just me asking an insane hypothetical. How will WWE react if about I dunno 30% or more of the audience just got up and left during the main event?
It is the best way for fans to protest if they don't like the way things are going. Empty the bleachers. Even WWE can't ignore a crowd exodus.
