I really like the graphics for this WM, I also want to say, if the curse holds up (Even WM's are epic, Odd WM's are crap) - I'll only be watching this one out of habit. I just hope it can even halfway hold up to last year's event. Those are actually custom graphics I made, not official WWE ones.

Last years ATG match was enjoyable and very well booked especially considered against other over the top rope battle royals of the past, but it just comes across inherently lazy to mee for it to be on the main card instead of putting effort into making a small handful of meaningful one on one/multiple man feuds and matches for the undercard.
I thought the battle royals they used to do for the pre show/heat/dvd exclusive fitted perfectly and I really enjoyed the one's like the SD vs Raw WM 21 pre show one. To me that is where this kind of match belongs, good enough to heat up the crowd on the pre show with a few midcard surprises and returning stars featured in it, with the winner getting the trophy and a title shot later in the night (see Kane vs Chavo, at WM 24, Kane's battle royal win).
Im sure when I am there live I am going to be too swept away in it all to care about its positioning on the card, but I just think this kind of match comes across as lazy to me. Even though I understand everyone deserves a WM paycheck and to be on the main show. In an ideal world I would make the ATG battle royal pre show and then have an NXT showcase match on main card with the time that was going to be given to the battle royal (like Owens/Breeze/Rhyno/Brian Kendrick vs Zayn/Balor/Neville/Itami tornado tag)
Also I want this to be the official theme for either HHH vs Sting or Wyatt vs Taker

It's insane to think that even the guy that they're getting ready to hand the keys to the kingdom to... even HE'S getting booked badly.

I'd legit applaud if the ATG trophy was just the tattered remains of last year's.

Also, Adam Rose and Fandango are entered for the Andre. (I don't think there's going to be eight people in that ladder match... I think it's going to end up being six with Sheamus being added with Bryan, Ambrose, Ziggler and Truth.. but I've made the room just to be safe)

Holy shit! So happy to see the ladder match back at Mania I can't wait to witness the destruction front row. So I guess Bryans match has been confirmed then? Barrett vs Bryan vs Ziggler vs Ambrose vs R Truth vs Harper vs Sheamus vs ? I really hope Harper makes it in, but they need to add him to the build soon And I really like the Kid Ink theme song, catchy as f***, with have it blasting out of my ipod on the plane for sure

I have not been watching Raw, it is too long and I work nights. Do they call it Wrestlemania 31, or is it called simply Wrestlemania?

Loving the addition of the Ladder Match. I wonder if we are getting a large card for WrestleMania in terms of number of matches? In recent years, the four main matches have taken up almost two hours of the show. But, for various reasons, I am not expecting Lesnar/Reigns, Undertaker/Wyatt and HHH/Sting to go as long. The last card to go into double digits was WM26, with ten matches.
Normally I do go for quality over quantity, but I do like a large Mania card!

Yeah, it's only in recent years that the main event matches started getting in that 25-30 minute range more regularly. In fact, there have been more of those in the last five WrestleManias than there were in the 25 before those. I think Lesnar v Reigns goes at least 20 minutes. Both have gone that far this year already (although with Reigns it was only just last week) and for better or worse, that'll be what is expected of them in the main event of a WrestleMania. Triple H v Sting will go around about 20 minutes as well. My guesstimates... Keep in mind that one of those will probably be on the pre-show, so that will get more time there and the others might get another minute here and there.

They're not giving the divas a five minute match at WM. ...It will probably be 7, like last year.

I'm just happy to see variety making a return. Helps break things up in a 4 hour show.

If they add one more I hope it's Harper. Sheamus can win the Andre The Giant battle royal.

I honestly don't see the WWE title match going over 15 minutes (20 with entrances) and that is only if Brock returns. If Brock is leaving I'm am expecting him to Summerslam'd so to speak.

Last years WrestleMania only had 7 matches on the main show with 1 pre-show match. That included the Shield vs Kane & the Outlaws that went less than 3 minutes. Granted last year also had some longer matches, they've generally been able to pull off 8 matches with 1 on the pre-show.
That being said it'll be: Reigns/Lesnar Sting/HHH Taker/Wyatt Orton/Rollins Cena/Rusev Battle Royal IC ladder match Divas match Tag team match
As much as I want Miz/Mizdow I think that'll unfold in the battle royal where Sandow finally turns. Plus they can have other mid card feuds unfold in that match like Stardust/Goldust too.
