Biggest WM in four years, will they squander it?

[Jack]

Unquestionably this has the potential of being one of the biggest WM's of all time simply by the scale of the thing yet I fear they might just squander the opportunty.

Right now injuries/recoveries permitting I'd probably go with.

Cena vs Undertaker - Title Unification match

McMahon vs Flair - Retirement match

Orton vs Kennedy

HBK vs HHH - I know rematch number 303493 but still.

Foley Vs Hogan

Jericho vs Batista

Plus add in some kind of appearence of Austin.


...I know that people have different tastes and opinions but I think on paper that's a Mania that would make people sit up and take notice. I just fear that WWE are going to just put on a glorified No Mercy like they've been having a habbit of doing recently and book an event that nobodies going to remember two hours after its finished let alone two years.

I think:

Taker vs Edge, with Taker going over, and hopefully having the long title reign he should have had this year.

4 way - Orton, HHH, Jericho, HBK. This as the Raw main event, in the likely evet that Cena hasn't returned. A one on one match won't have that 'special' WM main event feel, as they have all been done too many times before. Putting a 4 way on though gets a lot of star power into the match and has the possiblity of Jericho and HBK going at it one more time, and also the possiblity of HBK vs HHH one more time as well, which would surely draw. The feud can be built up over the weeks before hand - would DX put their friendship aside? Can Orton hold on with the odds against him? etc. HBK going over with a heel turn somehow would make my day, but I think it will be a HHH win.

Lashley vs Batista - interpromotional colliding of the powerhouses. Smackdown needs faces so this would either be face vs face or heel Lashley, but I feel it could be a good draw because of their style and how they have been built up. It's not worthy of a title match main event because neither is electric on the mic, but it could definately add some beef to the undercard, I know I'd like to see it. Maybe they will do this in the future when on the same brand, though.

Kennedy vs Flair - with Kennedy getting the win, putting him over as a huge heel, perhaps he can someone the mic afterwards and declare that 'here is your winner, and the man that has ended the career of Ric Flair, MRRRRRRRRRRRR KENNEDY!!!'. Infact, Flair's closest friends in the buisness could come out to appluad him, but is interrupted by Kennedy and Vince, which will make it even better. This can be built up as Kennedy wanting to get back in favour with Vince after unsuccessfully passing himself of as the son, saying he'd do anything for him. Vince can say he wants Flair gone, as he is holding down younger guys and holding his company back. Kennedy volunteers himself as the man to do it and in the weeks leading up proves himself to Vince. This could also be a way to get some of the story arcs from the bastard son original plan in to it, with Kennedy apparently getting control of the company in some ways. Vince can say Kennedy has earnt his trust and is like the 'Son he wishes he had'.

Matt Hardy vs MVP - With Matt finally getting the win and his first signifiant singles title. Should be huge pop for it.

Triple threat extreme rules for the ECW title - Punk vs Shelton vs Burke. After a Shelton/Burke feud is teased as their competitiveness gets the better of them in the upcoming weeks, they decide to see who get the title first. Extreme rules will allow for some fantastic spots from 3 gifted competitors.

MITB - Rey, Jeff, Morrison, Umaga, Carlito, Finlay, BDV, Kane. Nice mix of big guys with smaller high flyers that will allow for sick spots (BDV sqaushing Rey after coming off a ladder through a horizontal ladder anyone?). A win for either Jeff Hardy or a repushed, maybe slightly repckaged/tweaked Carlito could give them the elevation they need to make the step up.

And if they can do it - Austin vs Hogan. The match we thought we'd never see. Just let the real life hatred spill over on TV for the build up and we have ourselves a money match.

That's what I'd like to see at Wrestlemania, money matches, elevation for younger talent, an all round entertaining card.

Every year has the potential to be the best.

Don't see why this one should be any different

[mike5286]

I don't think Cena will be back in time for Mania so here's my card.
Lashley vs Orton WWE Title Lashley comes back at Royal Rumble and wins the Rumble
Batista vs Edge World Title Batista drops World Title it Armageddon and wins Elimination Chamber at No Way Out
Hogan vs Austin if they ever wanted to start this feud start it tommorow night at the 15th Anniversary of Raw.
Punk vs Morrison ECW Title
Undertaker vs Umaga
JBL vs Jericho
Flair vs Vince Retiremnet Match
HHH vs HBK
MVP vs Matt Hardy 2 out of 3 falls US Title match
Jeff Hardy vs Shelton Benjamin vs Rey Mysterio vs Miz vs Kane vs Finlay vs Kennedy vs Carlito Money in the Bank
The Great Khali vs Big Daddy V
Beth Phenoix vs Candice Michelle vs Mickie James vs Melina Four way for Women's Title match.
Cruiserweight Title Guantlet. Wishful thinking i guess but maybe they'll wise up and bring back all the Cruiserweights from Raw, Smackdown, and ECW in a guantlet match just to round out Mania.

[wrestlecrapcrap]

I'd like to add to my fantasy booking that if Hogan v Austin wasn't possible (pleeeeeease let the feud begin tommorow night though!) then I'd have Beth vs a tweener Melina for the women's title. It sounds ridiculous, swapping possibly the biggest match ever for a women's title match. But that's only if the big match can't be done, and otherwise, all the other worthwhile stars will be taken up, so you may as well have a women's match on there - 'equal oppurtunity' and all that. Hey, we might even get Melina in playboy for it.

I'd like to see....

Undertaker vs Edge (WHC)...You could play on Taker's undefeated streak and the fact that Edge has never been pinned at WM.

CM Punk vs Ric Flair (ECW)...This can be where Flair gets beat and is forced to "retire". The build up to this match could be epic.

Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton (WWE/IC title)...Jeff Hardy gets even from Armageddon and eliminates HHH to win the Royal Rumble and challenges Randy Orton for the title. Regal being the asshole that he is, makes it title vs title.

Matt Hardy vs MVP (US title)...Angle of the year cumulates at WM

Cade/Murdoch vs Jessie/Festus (Tag Title unification) ....Something to give the Tag Division a little freaking meaning

Beth Pheonix vs Mickie James vs Candace (Women's title)....The angle from Armageddon and the angle from No Mercy merge into one big heated angle for the title.

MITB: 2 from each brand.. The Miz, John Morrison (ECW) HBK, Kennedy (RAW) Batista, Jamie "The Underdog"Noble (SD)

HHH vs Lashley...Grudge match from when Lashley returned from injury only to attack HHH from behind

Umaga vs Finlay....Umaga is latest tormentor of Hornswoggle

Santino vs Chris Jericho...in a Loser must SHUT THE HELL UP match...or some other angle.

If I were WWE, I'd offer Austin whatever it would take for him to wrestle Hogan. Also, if Sting is no longer under TNA contract, I'd throw whatever money it would take for him to come to WWE, show up as a surprise at Royal Rumble, and put him in a Wrestle Mania Dream match with someone.
