I honestly think Edge vs. Big Show will be a great match. Sure, Show's not fast, but you don't need speed if they can correctly use his other attributes, which they do for the most part. Edge has the speed to make up for it. Edge and Big Show together is pretty balanced. ANd anyone who thinks ANY match with Batista in it was good, you have no right to talk bad about Big Show.

I can't see why they would have Cena v Austin. Their biggest face currently vs arguably their biggest face of all time? It would be very odd. I think if Austin is involved he'll fight Jericho, though I think it's more likely to be Piper or the King with Rourke in their corner vs Jericho. Hogan could be a possibility as well.

As for the world title, I think its quite obviously going to be a triple threat. Cena got screwed out of the title last night and there's not a chance he won't be involved in a main event at mania. I think Big Show's involvement could be good. I'm not a massive fan of his but it would add a bit of the variety to the Cena/Edge scenario, just as long as he doesn't take the title.

Here is what I think;

The WWE is hoping for Austin and Rourke to sign on. Their ideal card would be Big Show vs Edge, Cena vs Austin, and Jericho vs Rourke. If Rourke doesn't sign on it will be Jericho vs Austin and the World title match will become a triple threat. If Austin and Rourke don't sign on it will be Big Show vs Edge and Cena vs Jericho.

They are keeping their options open at the moment.

As much as I'd love to see that final match, the fatal four way - I just don't see the logic in it. I can see Cena squirming his way back into the match (and I'm thinking a promo between Stephanie and Vickie - Vickie is bitching to Steph about Cena coming to SD etc, Steph after the RKO doesn't want anything to do with it, overpowers her and puts Cena into the ME at mania) but I just don't know how Jericho will get into the match.


^^^Replace Rourke with Hogan.

We can get Austin vs Jericho and Hogan vs Cena.. Or Austin vs Cena and Jericho vs Hogan.

Assuming that Cena doesn't get into the MITB match.

Isn't Austin too fragile at the moment, to wrestle? That's all I've been hearing - he's in too bad of a condition to wrestle again. Kind of like Hogan at SummerSlam against Orton. And don't even get me started on bringing Hogan to WM...

I honestly think Edge vs. Big Show will be a great match. Sure, Show's not fast, but you don't need speed if they can correctly use his other attributes, which they do for the most part. Edge has the speed to make up for it. Edge and Big Show together is pretty balanced. ANd anyone who thinks ANY match with Batista in it was good, you have no right to talk bad about Big Show.

I'm not a big Tista fan, really I'm not a fan at all. But I can say I'd prefer to see him in this match over Show. Batista, as unco as he may be, still has several advantages over Show. Show, they have to play that 'monster who can't be beat' card, use his size and 'strength' then have Edge work at him etc. It seems to be the same thing, everytime.

Batista, he can pull out the power card, but he also can use his speed as well, he's not as slow of un-agile (that even a word?) as Show. He can get around the ring a lot easier, he can do a fair bit more than Show. I can see the offence being more exciting both ways (ie offence from both Tista and Edge being more varied) than Edge getting in some cool offence to take down Show (ie having to come off the top rope to take him down etc).

With that being said, it's not going to be impossible for Show and Edge to have a good match. It's just going to be that 'typical Big Show' match.

Agreed 100% man totally thinking along the same wavelength as you at the moment. Show and edge could be a good match up, i mean show kicking out of like 3 spears would be cool. And if show did win imagine him as world champion again? I think it could work out well.

Finally someone said it! Edge/Show match wouldn't be as bad as people think. It's about time Show gets to main event a Mania (even though Orton/HHH would probably be the last match). I still haven't seen a Tista match that made me get out my seat, I honestly feel bored watching his matches. There's very few wrestlers Tista can work with and Edge isn't one of them.

I don't see Cena getting thrown in, something bigger is coming his way. Not sure what it is yet though.

As many of you are saying, it will turn into a triple threat at Mania. I think WWE has been throwing a lot of swerves at us recently so I'm just hoping this is the last one. Knowing how they've been booking things, I can imagine Big Show walking out of Mania as World Champion.

Yet there's a Show match where you're clinging to your seat in excitement!? I don't see how the Show match will be gripping. I think it'll be fun to watch him kick out of the Spear, probably two times or whatever, but that's all. I'm also looking forward to some innovation from Edge, in this match - some badass offence.

Who's going to be face, in this match? Edge is quite possibly the best/second best heel the company has right now, and Show got NO response from the crowd upon his contendership...

They are going to have to do something drastic soon, to get one of these guys to be face. That, or continue using Cena as the primary face in the match. Keeping Cena will also push more of a build to the match, otherwise they lose two weeks of promos, a title match and the EC at NWO if he's not there. I think, just for build up purposes alone, they need to keep Cena in the match.

Supposedly, Jericho is one of the few guys that Austin trusts enough to get a good match out of him, without injuring him. As for Hogan, I'm not a big fan of his, but you can't deny that he's meant a lot for WWE and WM, and having him at the 25th anniversary would be a big deal.

I really can't buy into Cena not wrestling for the World Championship at Wrestlemania 25. Unless he gets a very high profile opponent (Austin/Hogan) he'll be worked in instead of Big Show. He did lose by DQ, so I don't see why he wouldn't get a shot to beat Big Show for the spot in the match.

^^^Then what to do with Show? There are two guys here who are in the title picture at the moment. Take them out, and they'll have nothing to go into.

Unless you wanna throw one of them into the MiTB ladder match...

If it was Show vs Edge, I think Show would be the one turning face. He's pretty much a tweener at the moment considering his tense relationship with Edge, who is undoubtedly the top heel on SD, if not the whole company (personally I think he's better than Randy Orton). But like a lot of people have said, it still won't be a great match.

does anyone think that Show might not make it to Mania? They could swerve us and have Big Show taken out/injured in the next couple of weeks. That's how I see it, because I have no idea Show vs Cena vs Edge would make for a big main event.

Nothing about Edge/Show excites me. I know It's going to be WrestleMania 25and Show will surely go all out in such a high profile match but it still wouldn't be good enough. Show is not a good enough for Edge.

Also, if Show is the face... well that's no good because he gets like NO reaction from the audience and at what, four weeks away from 'Mania, It's a little too late to start building him as a World Title face contender. Also he can't be the heel because they're not turning Edge face anytime soon, and there's zero chance of a heel/heel match.

I don't know, something doesn't quite add up with it all. I'm still thinking Cena will get involved somehow but at this point I don't know in what way... #

That sounds likely to me and i honestly hope it goes that way. I have no problem with the Big Show but when it comes to a WrestleMania main event that definately is a no go for me.
