In all honesty...the line up looks better than Wrestlemania 32...but...
I think it all depends on the booking and who actually wins.

Another rumor circling the drains is that [HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG] vs. Undertaker
will actually main event the show...mainly because the WWE (Vince) is
worried about the fan reaction.

G...its almost like the entire match is a bad idea...

On paper the match seems fine, the next big star vs a legend...but in reality, it could turn disastrous.

This honestly sounds like a good idea to me.

Wrestlemania is looking like a 7 hour show that follows NXT, and with the main event being Lesnar vs Goldberg... There's 3 possible outcomes:

1: All that wrestling ending with a Goldberg squash. Cool
2: Them having to work around Goldberg being unable to last more than 2 minutes in the ring, so 3 suplexes, F5, hit the showers..
3: These two guys trying to put on an actual wrestling match - which went oh so well in their primes - in front of a tired crowd

...any way won't work too well. Honestly if the match winds up being a squash, that feels like it would work better as a buffer to add a little variety in the middle of the show rather than be a main event.

Then there's 2 other things to consider with the crowd...

1: They're going to care about this no matter what. It's WWE's biggest heel going up against one of the biggest and most respected legends of all time. The dynamics work very well, so this has a better chance of re-awakening an exhausted crowd than Lesnar/Goldberg.

2: If Roman Reigns defeats and retires the Undertaker, nothing can follow that lol. You can have a womens' buffer or whatever, but seeing Vince putting Roman over Taker in his last match - even doing it while being such a dick in the buildup - will be the emotional high that the crowd will struggle to recover from. I'm a big believer in the strongest story main-eventing a PPV (see Summerslam last year, where that AJ/Cena match was AWESOME and I don't even remember what the main event was tbh). The main think we'll remember about WM33 is simply that WWE has created (note the wording on that) probably the most hated wrestler in the history of pro wrestling. (unless [HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG] really takes off)

- If they do make it a Street Fight, then hopefully the match is much better than that underwhelming match he had with Lesnar last year.

- That'd be nice, but I don't see it happening. Plus, AA have their rematch clause, which I'm sure they'll invoke for WM.

I'm sure it'll be better than Brock v Ambrose, Brock didn't want to do anything remotely risky as he had his big MMA return in the works at the time.

Another quick thought: Any chance Samoa Joe will run in to one of the matches? They've gotta have a hot Raw angle, so I can see Joe helping Triple H... Then Sami Zayn running out and putting the boots to Joe a bit before KO takes him out from behind, and Joe takes out Rollins again so Triple H can get the win, then the lights go out and Demon Balor is in the ring?

With his entrance, calling for Balor run ins is kinda hard. Hate not having Triple H job here at PartTimerMania though

Agreed.

It's almost guaranteed Joe is going to interfere in either KO's or HHH's match, although if I would have to guess, I'd say he'll interfere in HHH's match and probably help him win.

Man, Rollins truly isn't winning this thing, huh? Even though I'm a fan of HHH, it just feels like Rollins should win here.

Hell, maybe after all of the shenanigans with a Joe, Zayn, KO and Bálor run-in, maybe he will emerge victorious. Who knows.

All in all, gotta love the unpredictability of this Mania, that's for sure.

I think Evolution 2.0 is bound to happen at this point and I agree with everything you said, except for the Charlotte part.

So...Styles vs. McMahon is a normal match? Why? Why not a contract on a ladder match?

I really hope the Ambrose/Corbin match is made into a Street Fight...it doesn't really make
sense if they don't...considering all the backstage attacks and forklifts and such...
