Ok so we might be seeing Rock vs HHH in the main event, 15 years past when it was a big attraction, and years past their primes. On the same show me might see Brock jobbing to Reigns. Aw man. Hey, Vince put a new guy in the main event of WM and it didn't even draw a profit! The people have spoken and they want it to be 2001-time all the time!

I have zero interest in seeing a mixed tag main event. If they want to get a spot where Rousey kills Steph then just have them manage the guys and do Rock/HHH, since that match has never actually been done at WM. Dana White may not even let Rousey do a wrestling match anyway, rendering this a moot point. Keep this in mind if they actually do this mixed tag: HHH would have gone over Sting to keep him strong in order to do a freakin MIXED TAG match, one where Steph probably jobs to Ronda Rousey. Are they seriously going to keep Reigns away from the belt until next WM? That seems dicey to me, almost Luger-esque. Personally I think Summerslam now is a time to pull the trigger. The Fatal Fourway at Mania 2000 ended with those two for like half the match, so we basically got it at Mania. And we have had it at Backlash, Judgment Day, In Your House, Summerslam, Fully Loaded, Raw and Smackdown. Combine that with them having fought in ladder matches, iron man matches, strap matches, no DQ matches.. I am all set on their matches for eternity.

I'm baffled as to why Vince doesn't want Sting/Taker. Who else would Taker even wrestle at next year's WM? I gotta think UT will pull a power play to get Sting involved. Incidentally what is it with Vince and his inability to put together inter-promotional dream matches? He didn't really capitalize on Hogan/Flair either, and let's not even get started on The Invasion.

I will be a loss for words if that actually happens

If we could have a Wrestlemania without Sting, Taker, HHH, Rock or Austin, that would be really, really great.
I'm aware that might mean a badly drawing Mania, I don't care. Take some f***ing risks for once.

Too much build up of Kane freaking out over the mere mention of Taker to not go there, IMO.

Or why not the guy who's been the face of the company for a decade and hasn't had a match with taker with a pin/submission finish since 2003

If Reigns is in fact booed out of the building in Dallas it will just go to show you that the "Home crowd" means absolutely nothing and that the majority of people who go to WrestleMania are hardcore out of towners since he's very over in Texas. I doubt he'll get booed. That's largely passed now.

Take some f***ing risks for once. The purpose is for this to be the biggest WM ever, not a transitional one like 10 or 13. There's a way to book a card full of substance that combines the legends and current scene fluidly.

Fans being excited for an interpromotional dream match would mean that fans have enthusiasm for a product that's not Vince's, and his fragile, fragile ego can't handle that.

I doubt he'll get booed. That's largely passed now. I would have thought so, but then he got heavily booed at MITB. Although, maybe those smarks are having second thoughts about that now that they have a Sheamus title run hanging over their heads. Seriously, I don't see them holding off on a Reigns title win until Mania, mainly because I don't think the screwed-over underdog story will particularly work for him.

LOL @ Rock/Rousey vs. HHH/Stephanie as the main event of Wrestlemania. Good to know that HHH and Stephanie will still get the bulk of TV time as well. Good looking out Vin Man.

The Rock/Ronda match with HHH/Steph should be booked with Rock and HHH handling most of the action, and Ronda constantly trying to get her hands on Steph who keeps running away and tagging in HHH.
Eventually HHH will cheap shot Ronda and tag in Steph. She'll put a few boots to Ronda then start gloating. Eventually she'll slap her and that will cause Ronda to snap and eventually catch Stephanie in an MMA hold and get her to tap out.

If you are Vince I don't see how you can possibly pass up Rock and Rousey in the Main Event. Rock is doing some great numbers in Hollywood and is as popular as he has ever been while Rousey is by far the most popular female athlete in the world. I don't think you can pass up them being a headline act as there are few people in the world that can draw numbers like they would.

I don't trust WWE knowing a card this far out, they somehow get even more apathetic about storylines when they know a show 9 months out is their focus.

God help us all.
Although, this might be the disaster that puts Vince out to pasture creatively. So...good, I guess?

Insiders say VKM has made final decisions that there will be several matches at WM, most if not all of which will involve WWE roster members.
