Also speaking of other years and timing.
Are there any musical performances yet? Should I shut up and not jinx it?

Well, the writing's on the wall. If WrestleTaint are reporting it, then it must be true.

Not just the matches, but the OUTCOMES as well. Good job WWE. Even WCW wasn't this good at blowing EVERY chance to do something cool and new. Just because something is new does not mean it's cool Which has nothing to do with what I said, but okay.

So I'm shopping around stubhub for tickets and found that ringside area is like 800-1000 each while the ramp starts at around half that. Are ramps seats really that bad for big events like this?

Cena vs Rock Brock vs HHH Taker vs Punk Delrio vs Swagger Shield vs Orton,Sheamus and Big Show Henry vs Ryback Ziggler vs Jericho Daniel Bryan vs Kane Some sort of militi man match ill go with ladder title unification match: Barrett vs Cesaro vs Miz vs Rhodes vs Sandow vs Kofi vs Rey vs Sin Cara
Pre Show Brodus, Sweet T and Khali vs 3MB lumberjack tag
I'd feel better having only 8 matches predicted. Perhaps throw Bryan and Kane in the unification match.

I do wish they managed their time better at Mania. Only half of the show last year featuring actual wrestling seems way too low. I know that the video packages create an atmosphere for the big matches, but if you cut back on those and the backstage segments, you can easily put at least one more match on the show.

I was just pointing out it's a bit presumptuous to assume the new things WWE would do would end up being cool. Or that the cool things they managed to do would be something that hadn't been done before.

The hype packages and entrances are fine with me. Just cut down on all the backstage crap, some of the video packages and please cut out the musical 'performance' altogether. ''I'm really glad I bought Wrestlemania this year, they've just confirmed Kid Rock is going to be doing a medley of his hits!'' said nobody, ever.

Wow only a few weeks left and no single match in sight that I care about.... they should step up real soon. Or this will be one of the worst WM's this side of WM 13 and 27

Even though it seems like each result has "OBVIOUS" painted all over it, there's still a faint glimmer of hope in each big match that maybe, just maybe, they'll try to throw a quick one by us.
John Cena vs. The Rock OBVIOUS RESULT: Cena wins, expunging the last two WrestleManias, which ended with The Rock standing tall over his carcass. BUT... Maybe the WWE realizes that Cena getting laid out by The Rock at three consecutive WrestleManias is what's necessary to progress his character, something they should have done after WrestleMania XXVIII but didn't have the nuts to do. And maybe they realize the visual of 75,000-plus fans booing, hissing and screaming "Bulls***!" as Cena hoists the title isn't the visual they want to end the show on.
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H OBVIOUS RESULT: Triple H wins, getting his vengeance for having his arm broken twice and his father-in-law crippled. BUT... Triple H has a great eye for the business from what we can tell. Maybe he realizes the best thing for the business, after just signing Brock Lesnar to a lucrative contract, is to protect Lesnar and push him as the unstoppable monster he is. Maybe Lesnar goes in and just whips Triple H's ass into quasi-permanent retirement and gains most of the momentum back from where he was on the night after WrestleMania XXVIII, before everything started going to hell immediately after he F-5'd John Cena and kicked his goofy green hat.
CM Punk vs. Undertaker OBVIOUS RESULT: Undertaker wins, continuing the Streak, arguably the only thing more important to the WWE than the WWE Championship. BUT... CM Punk held the championship for an almost unfathomable number of days, especially in this era when the belt is seemingly hot potatoed around on a monthly basis. What better way for the company to say, "This guy right here is our top heel, our 1a to John Cena, and will be for the foreseeable future." CM Punk has proven he can run with the big dogs, he just had a 400-plus day reign as champion to prove it. Maybe the company decides it's time to let the Undertaker return to the graveyard for good and let CM Punk bask in the glory of ending the Streak.
Odds are, I think Undertaker beats CM Punk (90 percent sure), Triple H beats Lesnar (75 percent sure) and Cena beats Rock (65 percent sure). But there's that faint glimmer that's telling me they went in the super obvious direction when constructing this card, maybe they'll try something new at the event itself.

I feel that they allow wrestlers who won't be on the card to be part of WM in some capacity. I actually think they should make "Zack Ryder vs. Catering" an actual thing, with random other low carders just standing around, and chanting "EAT! EAT! EAT! EAT!" while Zack stuffs his face. He just gorges himself to the point of nausea, and then turns around and pukes on Alex Riley, who then makes his usual "RAWR F*** YEAH" face because he's on camera. But that doesn't stop Zack and he just keeps eating and eating. During the rest of WM, the camera keeps cutting to him in the restroom taking a huge dump while a revolving parade of jobbers and celebrities come in and out to check if he's okay or to make fun of him. Maybe they can cut the middleman and let Fozzy be the musical guest.

How exactly did things go to hell? Lesnar lost to Cena, but damn near killed him in the process. He then broke HHH's arm, and then beat him clean as a sheet at Summerslam (basically no selling a pedigree in the process), breaking his arm AGAIN. He's 1-1 since coming back, but has looked like a total uncontrolable monster in the process.

I felt like Triple H no sold that ass whooping when he did the whole walking out on his own power thing after the match. It felt like he was trying to "get the last word" and the fans rightfully mocked him for it.

But I feel that if it were anyone other than HHH in that scenario, they wouldn't have been booked that way. The show would've instead ended with Lesnar standing tall over his laid out opponent or the opponent getting carried out or helped to the back by refs, officials, or jobbers if management were generous enough.
