I wanted to try this over the next three weeks, essentially as an experiment to gauge how well WWE is doing with the build for the show over the next few weeks as more matches get made and the existing ones get built up. Kind of started to make this thread after Raw but I decided to wait until after SmackDown first in case anything extra was made official.
At the moment it's really just Orton / Styles, Murphy / Nese, and Joe / Mysterio for me, and even then latter I pretty much know isn't going to get very much time. Few of these other matches I think will be good - triple threat, being no-DQ Triple H / Batista stands a shot, could see Lesnar / Rollins going either way - but those are the only ones I'd really say I'm on some level pumped for.

The Women's Triple Threat, Styles vs. Orton, and Nese vs. Murphy definitely have my attention. Kofi and Bryan will definitely be there when it gets announced.
I could flip on Lesnar vs. Rollins whenever they decide to actually try building towards it, seeing as though Lesnar has done well with small guys in his recent outings. Rey vs. Joe has potential, but I have a feeling that will be realized in the PPV rematches following, and instead the big moment will center around Dominik getting put to sleep.
Everything else depends on how much time they want to give (or not give, in the case of HHH vs. Batista) or if they've got the right bells and whistles (Miz vs. Shane), but we won't know that until they happen. And I think we all know Angle vs. Corbin better not be longer than the entrances.

I don't mean to be Mr. Negativity, but so far Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio is the only match I'm really looking forward to.
I love AJ, but anything involving Randy Orton automatically disinterests me. I was looking forward to Becky vs Ronda, but then it got turned into a triple threat and got a shitty storyline.
Takeover looks good though, and G1 Supercard is shaping up better than I thought it would, so I'm still looking forward to Mania weekend.

I'm actually really looking forward to Batista vs HHH if it's a No Holds Barred match. But then again, I haven't been watching any of the build.

All the builds have killed so many of these matches in terms of their interest for me, at this point I just want this Mania weekend over with because the build has been a giant migraine watching promising and easy feuds just nosedive into the ground
Only two I'm remotely excited for are Mysterio and Joe and AJ vs Orton right now, and that's probably due to the fact they just started seriously building the matches this week.

Brock vs. Seth: Eh, wouldn't be surprised if it's good but I really want Seth to win and I have a feeling he won't. On a scale of 1-10, I guess I'm at a 5.
Women's Triple Threat: It's like they've tried their hardest to get me to stop caring and while I do hate what has happened to it in the last month, I'm a stubborn Becky fan and I'm still hoping she wins. So I'm still hyped, but not as much as I should be. It's a crying shame what they did to this, because the night after the Rumble was the hottest I've seen a crowd for a women's segment/match.
HHH vs. Batista: This is just whatever to me. Making it no holds barred was the right call and I think it'd be funny if Batista got cheered over HHH, but not really hyped.
Angle vs. Corbin: I'd rather watch my grandma die again.
Shane vs. Miz: Expecting it to be pretty crap (because of Shane), unless it's an Attitude Era trainwreck with a lot of weapons. Not hyped, even though Miz has been great.
Joe vs. Rey: Sure, I f*** with this.
AJ vs. Orton: Yeah, this should be pretty good. This or Bryan/Kofi would be a great way to open.
The Andre: Nah.
Murphy vs. Nese: I'll say I'm a bit hyped. It'll be on the preshow, but I'm still rooting for them to turn some heads since I'm a fan of both.

Batista vs. Triple. Only because I’m a fan of Batista’s film work.

I look forward to Kofi v Bryan, Becky winning, and all of it. Sure, why not? Wrestlemania is just one very long show. It's the two weeks after that really count.
We'll see who gets called up, we'll see who moves where, and that's the big news story. Smackdown has been decent to great since last year, in some part, because of its roster. RAW has been mostly awful. Terrible booking, but the roster isn't that exciting either.
What happens after Wrestlemania is, as a fan, my Wrestlemania. It dictates how the shows will look for a year. That's no small thing.

I’m still excited for the big title matches. I dunno probably just biased towards Becky and Seth.

I voted for 4.
Surprised and slightly disappointed that it turns out I'm not that hyped for the other 5.

I honestly don't see how Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair is the most anticipated match. Is it because it's a forgone conclusion that it's the main event (last match) and therefore we have to be hyped about it?
You're telling me you're looking more forward to that match than AJ vs Orton? Really? Really? Or even HHH vs Batista?!
I know we have seen AJ vs Orton before but that was a throwaway match, even so, it was still great. We haven't REALLY seen what they can do together.
It's not that I don't think Ronda/Becky/Charlotte can be good or great but the buildup has been a mess, it's been rumored too much that Ronda is leaving and the outcome seems too predictable. Yes, it's the first time the women will main event Wrestlemania and they must go out with a bang, so they will do their best.
IDK. I just don't see it. Maybe Ronda vs Becky 1 on 1 would of had my interest more. I'm sure I will enjoy it, but am I looking forward to it? No.
1. AJ vs Orton (2 top tier athletes on the grandest stage of them all, sure to deliver and steal the show) 2. HHH vs Batista (this could even be my number 1 pick. Yes they are older but they have charisma. Also I love hardcore matches and I'm sure it will be destructive. This is a real marquee match.) 3. Seth vs Brock (I am actually looking forward to this. I love Seth and this match will be great, even if short and the same old formula from Brock. Seth being champion would be great. I wouldn't even care if he lost. Brock Lesnar always brings the big fight feel to me.) 4. Joe vs Rey (same as aj/orton but a fresh, never-before-seen match. I expect it to be great but not as great as aj/orton.) 5. Miz vs Shane (Miz is my favorite wrestler along side Seth and I love Shane. As far as I know they have never wrestled. This match should be good.) 6. Ronda vs Becky vs Charlotte (This match will be good but I am not hyped for it, build up as killed it. I could place it as number 4 but no higher.)
all the rest is crap.
I am not giving Rona vs Becky vs Charlotte a point. As good as it may be, I am not looking forward to it and that is the subject of the poll.

Womens' triple threat is sitll something I have hopes for in spite of its whole mess. Joe vs. Rey and Murphy vs. Nese should both be killed. Brock vs. Seth is a Brock match at the end of the day and as much as I like Seth it's still a Brock match, Triple H vs. Batista makes me laugh, Angle vs. Corbin makes me cry, Shane McMahon needs to go away, and I fear the worst of Styles vs. Orton as a pissed-away-potential match that's too slow to give a shit about. And the Andre battle royal barely qualifies as a match at this point for me.

Really none since I haven't watched since Crown Jewel (excluding the men's Rumble match), but if I had to pick: Rollins vs. Lesnar just because I'm practically BEGGING for Lesnar to be gone for good at this point.
Rey vs. Joe is a waste of Joe, Angle vs. Corbin has no interest because Angle is a shell now (I really don't hate Corbin), the Women's triple threat would be great if it was just Charlotte and Becky, f*** Orton, Nese vs. Murphy does nothing for me and I like cruiserweights, Batista vs. Triple H is not going to be a fun trainwreck, the Andre is pointless, and I still hate Bryan even if I think the heel turn (outside of replacing the belt, which is so unbelievably f***ing STUPID) is amazing and even though I think Kofi's leaving East Rutherford as champion.

Always excited for battle royals.
Also, Miz vs. Shane just because I think Miz is awesome and his dad is like the Anthony Hopkins of wrestler dads.

Joe vs Rey, Nese vs Murphy and Hunter vs Batista. I should be super excited for the double main event but they've booked both feuds so badly that I'm just not into it.

Nah, no one has to be hyped about it. I don't blame anyone for losing interest after what they've done to the build since the Rumble. Orton vs. AJ should be fun, but there's nothing at stake there and while Douchetista's funny, I have no interest in watching HHH wrestle anyone anymore, especially a guy he's faced several times before.

Joe/Rey and AJ/Orton. That’s it.
I’d have preferred Cena/Joe though.
