I hope they don't have Swagger win. As much as I like the guy, it was only a month or so ago that he was being embarrassed by Santino.

I wish they would switch Swagger with Masters. Chris Masters was so close to main event before they nailed him on steroids. Jack Swagger looks more of a comical character than Masters. Masters needs to get serious.

I love Masters. They royally fucked him over in 2006 when he was looking like absolute gold, only to be buried by DX after he was suspended, which was so totally necessary (the DX part, not the suspension - that was unavoidable). Still, he's looked like nothing over the past few months now and is currently a crappy face with generic music and no real character at all anymore. I still have some hope for Swagger.

A Masterlock on top of a ladder in MITB would be an awesome spot, sort of like the Walls of Jericho on top of a ladder.

They somewhat had something going with Masters and Eve, but I think they dropped it after that horrible Jerry Springer sketch.

The Masterlock anywhere is sex. On a ladder and I'd need a new pair of pants.

The Eve thing seemed very short-sighted, because now she's competing in the divas division and it's left Masters without the reason that he turned into the generic face he is. So he's basically got nothing now. Disappointing to say the least.

First Eve was going to be involved with Swagger, then Masters

 

[xtremebadass]

It actually started out with Swagger going after the US title, then he got distracted with Eve, but Eve fell in love with someone else who happened to have a bigger chest than she did.

I'm not sure whether having alot of singles matches at WM is a good thing, cos having alot of matches will obviously make it more jam packed and exciting but the quality of the matches might suffer. Thoughts?

^ I think when the single matches are the magnitude of Cena/Batista, Edge/Jericho, Micheals/Taker it is alright to have more single matches and make them mean so much more.

To me this year's Mania is rivaling Wrestlemania 21 for the putting on some of the best Singles Matches.

WM 26
Cena/Batista
Edge/Jericho
Michaels/Taker
HHH/Sheamus
Rey/Punk

WM21
HHH/Batista
Cena/JBL
Taker/Orton
Michaels/Angle
Eddie/Rey

I think it's going to be close with WM26's main events being better but WM21's undercard taking it.

 

[maty619]

There is no undercard for WM 26, just upper mid cards and main events, actually all the singles matches currently confirmed sound like possible main events.

Definitely resembling WM21 in terms of good one on one match ups. Hopefully the matches will be great and not total bombs. WM21 had great rivalries compared to this year's Mania. HHH/Sheamus and Jericho/Edge are lacking in the build up department.

You guys are right about no undercard. They have huge matches all around. HHH/Sheamus will probably be on in the first 90 minutes of the show lol. For a Triple H match being in the first half of the show it must be damn good matches.

 

[maty619]

CM Punk/Rey imo will be the highlight, match quality wise but Taker/HBK for obvious reasons is the main event. I am somewhat dreading Vince/Bret, it is gonna be train reck and I am gonna find it really difficult to watch.

 

[Mister J]

I would be more excited about the PPV if Regal was on the card.

 

[maty619]

I can't believe I'm about to carry a disscusion onto another thread but that would ruin the whole show for me.

 

[Mister J]

I hope that selfish prick Shawn Michaels loses at Wrestlemania again.
