I hope the Ronda/Becky/Flair March main events because if it doesnβt theyβre just going to book some other overbooked mess to do it again next year and tout it incessantly
Like with Roman, just get it over with

17 matches and nearly triple that many segments Something has to give eventually. Either theyβre going to have to bite the bullet and start not booking literally everyone on the roster at WrestleMania, thus cutting the number of matches/overall runtime, or have these 17 matches go about five or ten minutes each if theyβre to fit them all in a respectable runtime, or split the show in two and run it on back-to-back nights. I admit, my perspective is different because of my time zone. East coast Australia. Show starts at breakfast time so Iβm fully refreshed from a full nightβs sleep. Seven hours total runtime donβt sweat me.

17 matches and nearly triple that many segments I look forward to the slow slip into insanity for those of us who go from the preshow to the ME in one go. Live thread gonna be nuts.

I mean, I say Iβm refreshed from a full nightβs sleep, but itβs like being a kid at Christmas. Canβt get to sleep, because Iβm too excited about WrestleMania. Basically it becomes a level playing field.

I learned from trying to sleep directly before Mania with 26, where I overslept and ended up coming in while Orton was celebrating. Was afraid I'd missed much more until I double-checked since I hadn't really looked at the time.

I think they should make Mania three nights including NXT. Like the major music festivals do basically. Friday is NXT, Saturday can be SmackDown and Sunday RAW. Or mix and match the Saturday and Sunday with some raw and some SmackDown on both shows.

If they are doing a multi woman tag team title match and a multi woman Smackdown title match, I would just cut the woman's battle royal. It would be more bare than the men's and would require a lot of NXT and Legends to fill. There also looks like there are already going to be too many matches on the card. They could also make the Smackdown women's title match a lumberjill match to fit all the women on the card if they wanted to.

So is there any chance Miz / Shane isn't the worst match on this card? Yes, there is a chance...

Real testament that with such an excellent card on paper the build is all that matters. I don't know what happened after like 2008 but they haven't been able to book a good Mania build in forever. Not just for one match, for the whole card.

Not just for one match, for the whole card. I'd say Mania 26 in 2010 was arguably the best built Mania card since 17. Say what you will about the show itself, but the build made every match mean something with no clear winner for any encounter. They really knocked it out of the park.

I wasn't watching full-time then admittedly. I liked 28's build too even if most of it was for Rock/Cena and Taker/HHH.
I've said it before but the format they had from 20-23 was perfect. Just as an example I'll use Vince/HBK for a match that I absolutely did not want at the time but the story escalated entertainingly enough each week that by the go-home RAW I was excited to see it. You could reorder the segments each week that have happened during Lesnar/Rollins or the triple threat and it wouldn't make a difference in understanding what story they're trying to tell.

I'm starting to suspect the main event's going to be Reigns / McIntyre. Not like it'd be the first time a two-weeks nothing build for Reigns no one especially cared about somehow turned into a Mania main event and they are going really heavy in plastering Drew all over the goddamn show right now. Combine that with how much of an afterthought the triple threat's become and I can easily see it happening.

Combine that with how much of an afterthought the triple threat's become and I can easily see it happening. I think the Triple Threat will still close the show, but I also think that people are beginning to realize that closing Wrestlemania isn't what it's cracked up to be. There's still prestige in being "the main event" and being trusted that fans won't walk out of your match if it's last on the card. But if we are indeed headed in the direction of five hour main card plus two hour Kickoff, I would be pulling every string to get on the first half of that card when everyone still has energy, especially in the case of Roman Reigns who has "main-evented" the last four Wrestlemanias, and has nothing to gain from being in that stadium close to midnight in front of thousands of energy-sapped and probably very cold (in the literal sense) wrestling fans. The Triple Threat, on the other hand, can be touted as a landmark event in the history of women's wrestling, so they're literally among the few on the card that's got something to gain from this.

Well I have to say I feel the card suck's so far, apart from Seth/Brock and Becky/Ronda/Charlotte, I have no interest in anything else.
HHH vs Batista - I dont care about either of them and they are just taking up space Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin - I cant stand Corbin, and the fact he is Angle's last ever match is grim AJ vs Orton - I havent been interested in Orton for years, this a waste of AJ Shane vs Miz - YAWN Andre Battle Royal - YAWN

WHY does Shane automatically get a match every year now?
Also the show is going to be way too long

HHH vs Batista Shane McMahon vs The Miz AJ Styles vs Randy Orton Kurt Angle Final Match 4 matches revolving around part timers (HHH, Batista) non wrestlers (Shane) and "old" timers (Kurt & Orton) seriously, its WM 35.. what the f*** are they doing?!? I think it's super unfair to include Orton in on that. He's still mostly full-time, he's still extremely capable, and he's younger than AJ is. Bork is younger than AJ too
