I'm pulling for and predicting: Jericho vs Barrett vs Miz vs Cesaro 4 way Cena v Rock HHH v Brock Taker v Punk Shield v Show Orton Sheamus ADR v Swagger Henry v Ryback Hell No vs Ziggler Langston 4 Way Sandow and the Bellas vs Rhodes, Kaityln and Layla I'd scrap the last 6-person intergender tag and split the 4 way into Miz-Barrett and Cesaro-Jericho. Fandango should be nowhere near this card.

I'd just book a tag match with Barrett and Cesaro vs. Miz and Jericho. Is it optimal? No. But at least you can give the match 20 minutes by having all four guys in the match rather giving Barrett vs. ________ and Cesaro vs. ________ 6 minutes each. Miz works as the face in peril, Jericho gets the hot tag. The next night on Raw or for Extreme Rules you could book Barrett/Jericho, Barrett/Miz, Cesaro/Jericho, Cesaro/Miz, or even Jericho/Miz and Barrett/Cesaro.

I don't like the mixed tag either. It was more of a prediction than a hope.

Here's what I'm expecting for a realistic WrestleMania XXIX card:
- John Cena vs. The Rock for the WWE Championship - Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship - CM Punk vs. Undertaker - Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H - The Shield vs. Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show - Mark Henry vs. Ryback - Chris Jericho vs. Antonio Cesaro for the United States Championship - Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston vs. Team Hell No for the Tag Team Championship - The Miz vs. Wade Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship (I could see this bumped to the pre-show as a time-saver)

I'm still expecting Jericho to be in a triple threat with Miz and Barrett. His talk about extending his record to being a 10-time IC champ gives him a good justification for going after the belt, plus he's got history with Barrett.

So I have questions regarding buying tickets. How far back do the chairs go? Does every field seat get a chair or just the ones surrounding the ring?

The current probable card looks like a mess, but it can be fixed pretty easily.
Put Rhodes Scholars and the fat guys on the pre-show. Pair Henry with Shield and Ryback with the face team. Have Jericho vs. Cesaro instead of Fandango, obviously. Scrap the Divas match. They can barely get time on Raw. Do Miz/Barrett but make it as short as possible. Just as a meaningless breather in between two headlining matches.
Then you've got 8 matches, and you can give some good time to at least 7 of them. Sorted.

LOL, well, I'm, going to WrestleMania. And it only cost me $5,000. Downloaded 3 tickets off stubhub for 1500 each (original price turned out to be about 900), and Stubhub's 10% service charge was damn near 500 dollars because of it. But in the end, I'm getting paid back for the 3rd ticket, I'm getting ticket to a SmackDown in Boston in return, and I'm in the 10th row facing the ring as if I were watching on TV. I might even get an event seat, but IDK how far back those go.

My friend I'm going with paid me his half though so it could've been worse. I originally bought some on StubHub as well but then I found some Platinum seats on Ticketmaster that I really wanted so I bought those and sold my ones back on StubHub.

The last two WrestleManias have had 8 matches on the actual show and WrestleMania XXVI had 10. There are a lot of rumored matches right now so we're either getting short matches or some of these just aren't going to materialize.
1. WWE Champion The Rock vs. John Cena 2. The Undertaker vs. CM Punk 3. Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar 4. World Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger 5. Sheamus, Randy Orton & The Big Show vs. The Shield 6. The Miz vs. Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett 7. Tag Team Champions Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E. Langston 8. Ryback vs. Mark Henry 9. Chris Jericho vs. Fandango 10. Divas Champion Kaitlyn vs. Layla 11. Brodus Clay, Sweet T & The Funkadactyls vs. Team Rhodes Scholars & The Bella Twins 12. Pre-show: R-Truth or Kofi Kingston vs. United States Champion Antonio Cesaro

Well, the YouTube preshow is apparently going an hour for WrestleMania, so 2 matches can fit on that (based on your card, likely Brodus/Tensai/Funkadactyls v Rhodes/Sandow/Bella Twins and probably the US Championship Match), which would leave 10 for the remaining 4 hour PPV card (and Jericho v Fandango probably wouldn't last long... that just smells of sub 1 minute comedy squash).
Strangely enough, there has been no word on any big "celebrity" appearance yet... Touch wood, maybe they think The Rock and Brock Lesnar are enough this year?

so what the hell do Big Show & Mark Henry do?? do they get added with the Shield to make it a 5 on 5? Maybe have a face team like Hell No or the New Age Outlaws join Orton/Sheamus/Ryback.
I'm just so tired of the whole fitting everybody on the card. They just throw crap together and every undercard match just feels rushed. They have 4 hours but there's so much filler in Mania.
I've always thought they had a plan, but every week it just seems like they change there mind every week on this undercard. I thought maybe the undercard would be the saving grace of this Mania.

I still think/hope that Ryback bows out of the six-man to face Mark Henry while The Big Show takes his spot against The Shield.

I've always thought they had a plan, but every week it just seems like they change there mind every week on this undercard. I thought maybe the undercard would be the saving grace of this Mania. I think they should either try to get absolutely everyone onto the show in a way where they can get a spot or memorable moment, or put their foot down and have some of the "important" people miss out. If Creative can't come up with a decent storyline to get a wrestler on the card other than some half-assed angle hastily put together simply because they're "too important to not be doing anything", then they shouldn't be on the card. The problem with the current roster is that they try to present way too many people as "main eventers" and thus Creative gets stuck with too many people that "have" to be on RAW/PPV all the time. Never before has there been a very obvious "us" and "them" in the WWE. There are way too many haves, and what's worse is that it makes the have-nots look that much more pathetic and insignificant by comparison. Everyone is either The Next Big Thing or a total scrub.

I don't see how a mini Cena heel turn will help the build in this situation, as the overall story for this match is his redemption. How can he celebrate being redeemed by being booed (more so than usual) or acting heelish after finally putting down the Rock, ESPECIALLY since it's closing the show?

Did I miss something? Why is it Jericho.vs. Fandango? Because Meltzer said so apparently? I still don't think that's likely unless it's a 2 minute joke match, which is a waste of Jericho when Cesaro seemingly doesn't have a feud.
