If you reeeeeaaaaaalllly want to stretch your suspension of belief, you could argue WM20 was the beginning of the big Cena push hence the tagline. Though that's based on hindsight more than anything else.

Yeah it's just a phrase. Like WrestleMania 2 was "What the world is coming to". What the hell does that mean? Whenever I think of WM2, I think of that Jake the snake match.... the same one, where almost 31 year old me, covers her eyes at the end, because that is gross as hell. George Wells could cure cancer or something in his old age and all I could think is "Ugh...wipe your mouth dude..."

The only things that begin again are Declan McMahon and Chris Benoit.

I think it as just playing off the fact it was a round number 20, which is always a big number for celebratory purposes, and the fact they were going back to MSG.

Even back then I thought 20 outside the 2 Title matches (and the WCW belt going on last over the WWE belt) it was a poor show. Taker v Kane wasn’t a patch on WM14 and The Rock n Sock Tag Match was so so even before that botched finish (which Foley admits was his fault)

Was a shame.

Taker had an “end of an era” match with Austin like 10 years previous I've always imagined that every day Austin and Taker continue to get involved in a brawl. That feud is never going to end! Upon further review Austin vs. Taker End of an Era was in 1999. WrestleMania 28 was in 2011. So it was 12 years.

Marketing.
That’s literally the only right answer.

I think it was just a MSG reference to the 1st wrestlemania. This WrestleMania had a great main event match but I believe Shawn or HHH should of went over in the main event. Chris Benoit from a charisma\mic skills, drawing ability, look standpoint, he was not top guy material, WWE corrected there mistake by Summerslam at least, only Orton wasn't deserving as well. Luckily HHH was there for the rescue and carried the company all the way until Batista was ready to step up in a much superior wrestlemania the very next year at WM21.
