Go f***k yourself WrestleMania 31 and WWE. But seriously this is going to be the ultimate spectacle of ass times infinity. I am not looking forward to anything announced as of now. See, I felt that way going into last year's Mania and that turned out to be one of the best Manias ever. I'll give them a chance this time. My apathy actually went down after Fast Lane thanks to the HHH/Sting & Roman/Bryan stuff.

I know for damn sure this won't deliver to the standards of Mania 30. The only good match will end up being the Bryan match and Orton/Seth.

I don't mind Lesnar/Roman but man not if he is going to be Superman. Roman should be the dude that stand toe-to-toe and blow-by-blow with Brock, IMO, not the guy that gets beat down until lolRomanWins. This will also be Spear vs. Brock's Diverticulitis I'd guess.
f***ing sucks Bryan and Dolph get the heatless, pointless, keep the out of towners happy match. I'm hoping above hope they replace it with MITB or something so it isn't just the good match crew shuts up the smarks bout. Maybe toss in Dean and #BNB, maybe two others in a Ladder match for the IC title?
Orton vs. Seth will be match of the night. Seth will also cash in on Roman and take the title.
Not sure about the rest.
EDIT: WOW, not even 3 hours later and I forgot about Bray/Taker, Sting/Hunter and Cena/Rusev. I am sure they'll be good (well, not Bray/Taker).

I can't even grasp what the hell they are thinking going into this. Bryan and Cena SHOULD be the biggest build to heroes. Cena is the WWE cornerstone for over a decade and I guess he's getting a Russev rematch, that while it will be a good match seems kind of pointless. Bryan has no current direction. They've put all their eggs into the basket of having Taker, Sting and Reigns as the heroes to sell this PPV. 2 of whom literally haven't wrestled in WWE all year and the other one who is (to steal a quote) "green as turtle shit".
Does the creative team even follow the WWE?

John Cena and Rusev put on a very good match tonight at Fast Lane. I'd be excited to see them at WrestleMania, unfortunately, it's a rematch with John Cena trying to get redemption on the grandest stage possible, so we all know how it's going to end.
Sting and Triple H should be entertaining for the spectacle of it, and if there's one person in whom I'd instill faith to be able to get a good match out of Sting in 2015, it's Triple H. As much as people want to hate him, the guy was gangbusters in his run against Daniel Bryan and The Shield last spring.
I've already said my peace on Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar. They had my curiosity after the interview with Paul Heyman during the in-studio Monday Night Raw a few weeks back, and they now have five weeks to further sell me on it.
Bray Wyatt and Undertaker should be interesting, it all depends on what kind of shape and physical well-being Undertaker is in. If he's the guy we saw against CM Punk at WrestleMania 29 or Triple H at WrestleMania XXVIII, then we're in for a good, bruising contest. But if he shows up as the doddering old man who reminded me of Muhammad Ali in his fight against Larry Holmes, then it could get ugly in a hurry.
Randy Orton and Seth Rollins are fully capable of stealing the show, it's just that even as I was excited at the prospects of his return, the moment Orton's music hit and he arrived on screen, my interest went right out the window. I can't explain it. I think I like the idea of Randy Orton wrestling, but not actually watching Randy Orton wrestle.

No joke, they better come up with a good story for Bryan/Ziggler other than "we are great wrestlers and are gonna tear the house down for the fans!" or I will scream.

Over in the Fast Lane thread, I suggested Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler, with the winner receiving a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at Extreme Rules. That would allow them to steal the show, but also have a reason to fight one another that is deeper than, "we want to steal the show."

Until I see Sheamus show up and say he's going to win the Battle Royal, I'm going to be convinced they'll stick him with Bryan.

So lets see
Lesnar vs Reigns
HHH vs Sting
Wyatt vs Taker
Russev vs Cena
Orton vs Rollins
Something involving Ziggler/Bryan/Sheamus
A.T.G Battle Royal?
Ambrose vs BNB nodq
Divas Match
1 other match
I have seen a lot worse cards guys, and this is me trying to take out the fact I am going, first row, for my first ever Mania.
From a live percpective I am over the moon I will see Taker/Sting as well as great matches like Orton/Rollins and whatever Bryan/Ziggler are involved in. Seriously will be so many out of this world moments for me
But from an external perspective the card could have been so much better. I was wanting Bryan/Lesnar and Shield triple threat so badly, and don't get me wrong I am dissapointed either of them won't happen. I feel both of them have better stories than Reigns/Lesnar and Ambrose/BNB (I am enjoying the Rollins/Orton feud) and they could have connected together with the MITB briefcase being on the line in the triple threat, then the winner of that cashing in after Bryan/Lesnar
Overall just happy to see Taker one last time and to see Sting live. Im sure Trips will be on top of his ganme to get the best match possible out of him. There are certainly going to be a lot of superb entrances this year now with Taker/Wyatt/Trips/Sting/Lesnar etc. Can't wait to see what they do with the stage! I hope all that downgrading of stages really pays off with them going all out, as they always should, with the Mania stage

I'm sorry, but I still don't see the potential of Reigns/Lesnar.
Definitely not in comparison to Bryan/Lesnar.

Until I see Sheamus show up and say he's going to win the Battle Royal, I'm going to be convinced they'll stick him with Bryan. Until he actually shows up and attacks Bryan, then I'm not convinced he'll be fighting Bryan. All we've got to back this up is the fact that it was going to be a WM30 match before plans got changed. (And even then, some people were assuming that Sheamus was winning that match and/or IS winning here? What was THAT based on?)

Brock will either have to go in a completely different direction, relying more on wresting than just a bull rush and the German Suplex or they'll need to gimmick it with a No DQ stip or something. If Brock goes in like he has been and they don't gimmick it, I expect a lot of "This is very methodical John" while the crowd shits on it. Basically they'll need to let Roman be an equal to Brock and not just a repeat of Cena.

Reigns/Brock will suck unless they add a stipulation to it. And even then, it may not save it.
Taker/Bray sounds completely mediocre, HHH should be able to get a decent-ish match out of Sting, Cena and Rusev could be good at a stretch. Bryan/Ziggler and Orton/Rollins would be the only good to great matches but the first one may not even happen and even if it does, neither match will likely have much in the way of an interesting build.
Then you've probably got a tag title match and a Divas match on the undercard which don't inspire tons of confidence, especially since both will likely be short-changed with time. Possibly a battle royal if they have time.
Overall, 3/10. Not impressed.

Meltzer seems to suggest that Jon Stewart will be in Randy Orton's corner against Seth Rollins. Pretty random pairing.

Not numbering the events anymore sounds like some old coot's idea of being hip and "with it."
