Note: This thread covers all wrestling events happening from Tuesday April 1st through Monday Night Raw, April 7th. This thread covers Wrestlemania, all of the events surrounding it AND all of the independant events which run around the site of Wrestlemania over Wrestlemania Weekend. Please feel free to discuss anything and everything wrestling related here during this week.

No, not that shovel you geeks. It's Wrestlemania Week. Time for legends to come out of the woodwork and new stars to be
But wait....there's more!!!!

Fans rallied behind Daniel Bryan and The #Yes Movement so much that it forced Triple H and The Authority to act. Triple H made himself vs Daniel Bryan for the big show!!! However, Bryan wasn't satisfied and demanded more. He demanded a shot at the main event if he could beat Triple H. The One Man Power Trip of Triple H decided that Daniel Bryan had no shot at beating him at Mania, so he granted Bryan that stipulation....however....if Triple H beats Bryan, he is added to the main event guaranteeing a Triple Threat Main Event!
It will be WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton defending vs 2014 Royal Rumble Winner Batista and Daniel Bryan or Triple H.
Can Daniel Bryan overcome the odds, beat three men...no.....A+ players in one night?
Or will Triple H realize his dream and finally become the Vince McMahon Jr. Jr. he was destined to be?
Check out this recap of the Daniel Bryan story.
Take a look at why Daniel Bryan has no chance at winning at Wrestlemania. Even Scott Steiner would agree with that math.




Death....taxes.....and the streak. Three things we know can't be defeated. Brock Lesnar has other plans. First, he demanded a title shot at Wrestlemania, and when that didn't happen, he demanded history. Undertaker granted his wish by stabbing a pen through his hand. This one is destined to be a slobberknocker with some MMA inspired submissions thrown in for good measure.
Will the streak live on?


With a build as good as this match has had, who cares if it's Cena? John Cena faces Bray Wyatt in a match that has had a great build from both Cena and Wyatt. Ok, that's not entirly true....Cena is still cutting his promos, but he is bringing the mind games, so it is what it is. But Wyatt....Wyatt has got our attention. #FOLLOWTHEBUZZARDS

Well.....those are the main events.....what about the rest of the card?
The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins) vs Corporate Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Billy Gun and Road Dogg Jesse James)

Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Vicky Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational

And, on the 2 hour pre-show:
Fatal Four Way Tag Team Title Match
The Usos vs Los Matadores vs Rybaxel vs The Real Americans

Oh....and Hulk Hogan is hosting.
