The Andre the Giant Battle Royal kind of makes me sad. It's a big list of jobbers and a few guys the WWE completely screwed up, and seems like a good opportunity to jumpstart a couple guys but after Cesaro's great finish last year and what happened with that... it's hard to get excited.

Glad to see Itami get a spot, but I have zero faith in the WWE to do anything interesting with him. I almost dread any NXT guy making the main roster now, lol.

The whole lineup for Wrestlemania makes me a little depressed as a longtime wrestling fan :p

So what match is going on first to start the actual show? It's gotta be the ladder match, right? Bryan or Ambrose wins to get the crowd hyped for the rest of the show.

Pre-show is 2 hours. Might be a promo before the opening match though.

Yeah I'm going with the Ladder Match. It'll be a fast paced and energetic match to get people pumped. Plus if we have a Bryan or Ambrose victory it'll have the crowd hyped like you said.

The show is technically 3 hours long but in reality its 4 and they've been advertising it as 4.

Lesnar/Reigns 30+ minutes? Disaster. Roman can barely go 30 minutes with anyone, and I don't think Brock is the one to carry him to 30+.

[...]

Cena/Rusev should be okay with 30 minutes though.

What. Reigns isn't the very best in the ring but I'd rtaher see 30 mins of him than Cena vs. Rusev.

By the way, is there any way I can watch the Preshow in Germany? YT-Stream is blocked, donÄt knwo about good alternatives (which work).

Mania prediction time

What I want to happen:
Andre Battle Royal: Axelmania, Mizdow, or Itami

Tag team 4 way: Cesaro and Kidd

Rusev over Cena

Sting over HHH

IC Ladder Match: Honestly I'd be happy with Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose, or Barrett. (Or Stardust, Harper, and Truth really, but these last 3 have go nowhere storylines or none at all so I don't see that happening.)

God-King Brock over Reigns (with bonus failed cash in by Rollins. Then Seth wins MITB again while Roman goes on his road to redemption. Reigns beats Brock at SummerSlam and Rollins cashes in and wins before Reigns even gets to hold the belt)

matches I don't care about the outcome as long as the match is good

Rollins vs. Orton (Predicting match of the night)
Wyatt vs. Undertaker will be better than most expect

matches I just don't care about
Diva's tag match. Everyone in this match except Nikki has been made to look like a useless idiot


What will happen

Andre battle Royal: Probably Big Show or something

Tag team 4 way: Uso's (I guarantee the ONLY reason the Uso's lost the belt in the first place was so that they could win it back at mania so that they could make Roman look stronk by proxy)

Cena wins lol

Sting

IC ladder: Sheamus

Reigns wins and the roster comes out to put him on their shoulders ala Brett

Anyone else think they moved the Rumble to the pre-show because its going to end with Mizdow throwing out Miz, and then they will have a singles match on the main show?

Probably just did it for time, but would be a nice thing to see considering Mizdow is one of the most over wrestlers on the card...

It was just a few minutes profile on HHH running things. Was a preview for their upcoming documentary on nxt on may 5th.

The anchor also hyped up lesnar and wm tonight. The E is benefitting from their on again off again cushy relationship with espn.

I really cannot believe R-Truth had gone from jobbing or flat-out doing nothing for ages to competing for a title alongside the likes of Ambrose, Bryan, Ziggler and Barrett on the main card of Wrestlemania.

Not that I think it's a bad thing, but how did it happen? What reminded creative that he existed?

Well this is cynical, but he's the only black performer on the main show tonight. That might have had something to do with it.

R-truth is a good hand in the ring and can cut a promo, so when they need a spot filled it's not surprising they would go with him
