Which mania match are you most pumped for?

[Anaconda Sniper]

As the title says what match are you most excited for? For me its Punk and Taker. I'm pretty pumped for Ryback/Henry as well. Feel free to discuss what you hope happens in the matches and what not.

[VHS]

Punk and Taker, most definitely. While I believe Undertaker's streak is the one thing in professional wrestling that should stay pure and unbroken, if the final choice is for it to end then there couldn't be a more deserving man than CM Punk. While it's highly unlikely Undertaker will lose, the match itself should be outstanding. The HHH/Brock match is a close second... while Cena's rematch against Rock won't turn any heads in my opinion. A match like that isn't even about the match, it's about who wins, who loses, and the fans' interaction. I don't remember a thing about their match last year except that Cena lost.

[Vice]

Wow. It's a pretty good/big WrestleMania card, but looking at that list.. nothing really has me excited at all. I gueeeeeeeess the Undertaker match is the most intriguing.

[chatty]

Shield, just because everything they have done so far has been great. Punk/Taker should be alright as well despite the finish being known - the rest I'm not too fussed about tbh.

I'm expecting some sort of twist to the Shield match, I think it has the most potential out the lot - which they would make in no DQ though just so they can all go mental.

[Anaconda Sniper]

Shield should def win their match. They have everything to gain..while on the other side yeah just yeah they need to lose. And hopefully Orton turns heel soon after.

[Brian M.]

Definitely the Shield match. Every match they have had so far has been great and I expect this to be no different. Plus as has been mentioned this is the match that seems to have the most probability for a swerve/interesting ending with either Orton turning heel or a new member of The Shield or some such thing.

I think all of the big matches will be good in-ring, so I'm looking forward to the show even though I haven't been particularly thrilled with the build to anything besides Punk VS Taker and Henry VS Ryback.

[mth]

Taker vs. Punk absolutely. Forgone conclusion's irrelevant as it's two of my favorites on the biggest stage and I think they'll deliver. They'll have me suspending my disbelief multiple times, I'm sure.

Next up's probably Trips vs. Lesnar as the build's been pretty decent and they've managed to flip my opinion on them having a rematch. I'm expecting a good intense fight.

They could have had me pretty stoked for Ryback vs. Henry if they hadn't dropped Ryback's momentum down a few pegs the past couple months. Plus, I think the way Vickie just switched Ryback into the match was a little lackluster. I think I'd have preferred to see Ryback have to make the choice himself with a bit of confliction and Henry egging him on, etc. I'm looking forward to it but I'm also a bit worried it'll be a bit of a trainwreck and there's that potentailly fucked up Shellshocked moment that could happen.

I'm fairly apathetic toward Rock vs. Cena right now. Part of that may be because they haven't really done anything with it the past two weeks and the rest is probably obvious. But even without being that hyped, I think it'll be fun and I'll be rooting my ass off for Johnny C.

I want to be excited about the Shield match but it's hard when they're against Sheamus and Orton, two of my least favorite guys.

[Beer-Belly]

Taker/Punk followed by Shield vs. SheamOrtShow. I hope they add stipulation to the Shield. Maybe another TLC match? That shit would steal the show.

I'm sure Rock/Cena II will be good, I'm just not entirely stoked on Cena winning clean over The Rock. I'm mostly interested in the crowd response.

Lesnar losing to Triple H will take the wind out of my sails, but as long as it's brutal and stiff then I won't care too much.

[Atty]

Wow. It's a pretty good/big WrestleMania card, but looking at that list.. nothing really has me excited at all. I gueeeeeeeess the Undertaker match is the most intriguing.

This.

[Ochoa]

I'm the only one going for Rock/Cena II: Electric Boogaloo? You all need to hustle and show some loyalty and respect.

[Psycho666Soldier]

The booking of this Mania has been so sloppy outside of...*groans* as much as I hate to admit it...Cena/Rock and HHH/Lesnar. Punk/Taker has been interesting but came out of nowhere. Ryback/Henry will be good but BLATANTLY ignores the fact that Ryback got somewhat cleanly pinned by The Shield and STILL hasn't gotten his revenge. I much rather would have seen Ryback/Henry been built as a big summer feud.

Now that Ryback's out of The Shield match, I don't care about the storyline leading to them getting their "comeuppance" at WreslteMania. I hope they win. Win and go over HUGE. If Ryback isn't getting that win, no one else even deserves it at this point, so let's just make The Shield even more of a big deal than they already are. Then we can set up the fallout of Orton and Sheamus, Orton can turn heel, and blah blah blah.

Similar situation for the Tag Title match. It'll probably be awesome, but Jericho should be fighting Ziggler if nothing else more important than fighting someone like Fandango. Uggghhhhh, it's kind of frustrating. A card with good matches with such a dreadful build. PLEASE let the matches be phenomenal.

[Kev]

I'm actually quite disappointed in the way this has all gone. Ultimately my card would have looked along the lines of

Rock/Cena for the WWE belt
Orton/Lesnar for the WHC
HHH/CM Punk
Undertaker/Chris Jericho
Bryan & Kane / Show & Henry
Ryback/SHIELD Gauntlet
ADR/Cesaro/Ziggler/Barrett (Double pin match)

I suppose I'm looking forward to Punk/Taker and hopefully having the crowd go off their nut for Bryan. I'm surprised Rhodes and Sandow don't have a match given how consistent they've been in their performances over the last 12 months, same for the Prime Time Players.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I was honestly hoping for a big Fatal 4 Way Tag Title match for this year's Mania. Hell No, PTP, Rhodes Scholars, and BroSai. That would have been fun.

[ThE_GrEaT_GaM]

I have spent the majority of the past 12 months pumped up with the Undertaker/Punk rumors but after the match became official it's being a bit meh...Something's definitely off with the build. I don't think their investing much effort into it. But I'm sure the match will deliver.

Triple H vs Lesnar just got bigger with Trips' career on the line. Plus the build has been far superior to their Summer feud. With Triple H's track record in no holds barred matches I expect a lot of drama on this one.

Rock vs Cena 2 feels better to, loved their segment a couple weeks ago.

I'm really into the 6 man tag match and Ryback vs Henry as well.

Every match this year seems relevant to me. This is definitely one of the strongest Mania cards from top to bottom not to mention a 100% relevant HOF class, the most star studded in history and a new HOF Theme music.

[VHS]

There's definitely something "off" about you if you really think the Undertaker/Punk build has been meh. Punk ruined Paul Bearer's tribute, stole his urn, and even played with it like it was a toy. If that's not investing enough, then what more could you possibly want?

[kdestiny]

Taker/Punk is the only one I am interested in at this point. Build has been great. I will admit that the idea of redemption had me thinking we would get a grittier side of Cena, but not in the least. Still smiles and stupid promos.

I think all of that is childs play compared to the End Of An Era and HBK feuds honestly. I'm hoping for a face off or a streak related "pipe bomb" at some point. Punk is the type of heel that'll diss you to your face, he's done it with Rock and Cena so going off on The Undertaker would be great.

[McBain]

Not blown away by how it's coming together, but maybe that's for the best - sometimes the best shows are those that you expect little from.

I voted for what everyone else voted for.

[Anaconda Sniper]

Looking at the votes so far...I knew Taker/Punk would dominate but I didn't think Rock/Cena and Lesnar/HHH would only have 1 vote a piece. Also Shield being in 2nd is cool....a far second. Its a stacked card...but its just blah at the same time. It will deliver but they could have given us way better matches....personally I would of loved to see:

Rock vs Brock
Ryback vs Punk for WWE title
Cena vs Taker
Jericho vs Ziggler
Shield vs Team Hell No and Sheamus with tag titles on the line
Del Rio vs Henry for world title
and some sort of US/IC 6 man match with
Cesaro, Barrett, Rhodes, Sandow, Kofi, and Miz

[JP]

That poll is brilliant. :lol:

Not having to lower the feud into playing around with a recent dead man's suppsoed ashes. I know the family signed off on it, but its still rather stupid. I was super psyched about that match, but since they went with Punk pissing all over Paul's grave, the outcome is no longer in doubt where if they just stayed away from it and have it Punk want to piss off the fans by ending the streak. I like Punk, but sometimes, he does shit that comes off indy and this is one of those times.

[VHS]

I'm not sure if you're serious, lotjx.

[Andy]

I'm actually really excited about the Shield match. Their matches have been so good so far, a good showing here could really make these guys.

[chatty]

The great thing about the Shield is that the way they are set up makes for a brilliant dynamic. using the three on three matches means they can put pretty much anyone in there with them an make it a great match (within reason) simply because they have Rollins who is a great wrestler, Ambrose who a great story builder, can wrestle to a good level and brings that bit on unpredictability to the table and Reigns who is your monster who can pull of awesome spots.

Due to that they can work with most main event/upper mid-card talents to make amazing matches. In this one they have Orton who can work a very good match, Sheamus who can work well with just about anyone and Big Show who can add to the big spots like Reigns does.

Theres not many people on the roster I am confident in in being able to have a great match with anyone but I am with these guys (probably Bryan, sheamus and Punk as the other ones who can do it).

I really hope they keep pushing these guys as a legitimate threat to everyone, using them sparingly (say every other PPV) going over guts for the next six month to really put them over. Its probably some of the best booking I've seen in wrestling for a long time imo so I hope they dont let them crumble just yet.

[Bluegunn]

I want to see if Orton will actually turn heel and pull a Rick Martel from Wrestlemania 5.

[Hero!]

I'm most looking forward to THE main event. No, not the world title matches or Trips/Brock, I'm talking about Punk/Taker. This is the feud that's closing out & opening up RAW every week and this is the match that's just oozing with intensity.

Although, I will admit that the heelishly fiery Cena this past Monday did get me just a wee bit excited about John/Dwayne II.

[Tainted Eclipse]

that raw segment single handedly made me give a shit about wrestlemania. cena/rock it is.

[Cewsh]

Yep, that.

[McBain]

Awesome conclusion, for sure. Hopefully they don't undo the impact next week.

[mth]

Yeah man, Cena/Rock has jumped up the list for me thanks to that segment. I might actually have it ahead of Punk/Taker now. And in all honesty, I think Jericho/Fandago's my number three. Feud's coming along nicely.

[Macho Savage]

This wrestlemania seems a little predictable to me

[Melly]

CM Punk vs Undertaker, Cena vs Rock and HHH vs Brock are the three that I am most pumped to see. I think all of it sounds pretty good though.

[Jacknife]

Fandango's got one awesome top lope reg drop.
