At this point it feels like people will be watching out of morbid curiousity, the build has been such a f***ing mess. We're expecting 'something' to happen, as in a totally screwy finish, a shoot, or going 'against the script'.
I think if the match isn't booked to perfection people are gonna shit all over it. And rightfully so.

Has there ever been a good build to a mania main event really? It doesn't matter at the end of the day, they'll peut together a great video hyping the match and eventually everyone will forget whatrver qualms they had with the fued There have been great main event builds in the past, but as I theorised the other day, they have had trouble getting the build right for the Rumble winner more often than not.

Honestly, story wise, adding Charlotte is dumb and seemingly unnecessary. But she's really the key extra ingredient to make this work. Sure, Ronda's crossover star power and Becky's insane overness is enough to sell the match, but if this really is your main event, the match itself needs to be great. Even with someone as talented as Becky, Robda hasn't been doing this long enough to go as long as this match is going to be given time. She needs someone else in there to help move the action at a main event level for the whole thing. Charlotte and Becky can do this together, no problem, but without Ronda, they arent a Mania event feud. We need all 3 to get to the classic status that theyr trying to achieve.

Perfect examples are the first Brock vs. Roman WM match, Brock vs. Goldberg a couple years ago, and hell, even Ronda vs. Nia at MITB last year (the main event of WM is obviously a different animal, though). I'm at least confident the match will be fun because of Becky and Charlotte and the crowd shitting on Ronda. Rock/Hogan had Rock survive having a truck crash into the ambulance he was in somehow. That’s probably the least remembered thing about it. Also Rock/Austin II which apparently had to involve Debra changing clients for...reasons? One of the reasons that hype video for X7 is so good is that it makes people forget how bad some of that build was. For the greatest show in wrestling history, a lot of its build was shit, and it wasn't confined to the main event ('It's one week before Mania and I was champion last month and don't have a match booked!' 'Me neither.' *wrestling classic occurs*).

And to make sure we get the match, my brother’s going to bench press a dummy that looks like your kayfabe wife and threaten to throw her off a balcony” *Best Taker/HHH match happens* Rock/Cena Yes it was a little iffy some parts but the hype was still there
I’m sorry, when the crux of your build is built off “THE ROCK WROTE ON HIS HAND THAT ONE PROMO, CENA’S OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGER STAR!” then you’ve long lost the entire goddamn plot of the feud.
