If The Rumoured Mania Card Turns Out To Be True

[Dale]

What are your thoughts on it?

The Rock vs John Cena - WWE Championship
CM Punk vs The Undertaker
Brock Lesnar vs HHH
Ryback vs Big Show
Sheamus vs Randy Orton
Dolph Ziggler vs Alberto Del Rio

These are the matchups that are constantly being slung around in the dirtsheets but obviously those plans could change. I think it's quite a stacked card in all fairness even though i'm not really a fan of the two rematches being rumoured.

That's pretty much all the major players locked in then you gotta get Hell No, Rhodes Scholars, Sin Mystery, The Shield, Miz, Cesaro, Divas and a couple of other midcarders on there.

As we know Rock/Cena 2 is a real possiblity but for reasons already stated I don't want to see it.

Like the sound of Taker/Punk but I think the company might think it is too soon in terms of Punk's profile, also there is a chance to pair Taker off with the likes of Lesnar or The Rock either which should provide a big draw also don't forget those options may not be availble down the road.
So I think Taker may face Lesnar. Don't want to see another HHH/Brock match or if it does happen don't think it should happen at mania.
Ryback I expect to be going for the World Title come this show and I could be wrong but I don't see Big Show still champion when he does.
Sheamus/Orton is a maybe.
Ziggler and Del Rio sounds good, but again will Ziggler be involved in the title picture?

 

[Mick Donalds]

Sounds absolutely awful to me.

Sheamus vs Randy Orton? GTFO. Are they going to have a "you spilled my coffee segment" to justify that feud?

 

[PHX]

Have no interest in HHH/Brock rematch esp since it would just be for Triple H to get his win back. No interest in Cena/Rock either for the same reason. Don't really want Taker back esp just to beat Punk. Only match on that card I want to see for sure is Del Rio vs Dolph though I wouldn't mind Orton/Sheamus if Orton is playing the heel.

 

[Chris]

Would much rather see Brock/Taker or Brock/Punk than a Brock/HHH rematch. Not high on seeing Rock/Cena II either.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Thats an awful looking card if that comes to fruition.

If they want a good card then this is how it should be


Team Hell No vs Team Mexico vs Rhodes Scholars vs Prime Time Players in a fatal 4 way elmination tag team match for the tag titles

Antonio Cesaro vs Miz for the US title

Randy Orton vs Sheamus

Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar

Ryback vs Big Show

Alberto Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight title

Wade Barret vs a number one contender from a pre show battle royal for the IC title

Rock vs Cena vs CM Punk for the WWE title

That right there is a good card I'd pay to watch that.

 

[Dod Draper]

I really don't want Rock vs. Cena II. No interest in the match because, as PHX said, it'd just be an opportunity for Cena to settle the score. Would much rather see a new and interesting match-up, as opposed to repeating what we've already seen. Same with Brock/HHH. I had the same opinion of Undertaker's rematches with HBK/HHH. I've got no interest in seeing the same matches two years in a row.

 

[Gimmick]

No interest in seeing those two rematches to be honest. Rock/Cena was very good but I don't think they have anything left to add to a rematch, and while HHH/Lesnar was fine, I think Lesnar could be pitted against a better opponent at Mania. The same also goes to Sheamus vs. Orton. Their fued in 2010 wasn't very good at all, and although Sheamus has improved a lot since then (and Orton as well to an extent) it's just a match-up I wouldn't like to see.

Only matches on the card I'm truly happy with are Punk/Taker and Ziggler/Del Rio. Punk/Taker may not be the best slot for either man, but we'd at least get a good build-up and an entertaining match from it I'm sure.

I hope this doesn't end up to be the final card (which I'm sure it won't be). There's a lot of big names in there and I think switching around some of those matches would make the entire card look a lot better.

 

[Dale]

I still don't want to see the rematch but I think Rock / Cena has the potential to be better than before if they centred it around that promo Cena cut in the empty arena about what would happen if he lost to The Rock. Obviously the WWE totally fucked up the potential of that angle but it could be brought back up for use in a feud between the two.

 

[Defiant]

I can be mocked relentlessly for this, but I'd REALLY like to see Brock/Ryback instead.

 

[The Cork]

I don't see why they would put all these guys on the card and not have fresh matches....

Taker/Cena should be happening already, Punk isn't worthy and it'd be a total mismatch in kayfabe. Why would anyone believe that midget can beat Taker when some of the all time greats haven't?

Sheamus/Orton has happened about 20 times on Smackdown alone so isn't worth a Mania spot. Struggling to even respond to the other matches, so lame. You could make such a good card just by mixing up those names.

 

[SAIYANS]

I'd rather see Taker/Cena, HHH/Rock, and Brock/Punk. I also have this interest in Ryback vs ADR vs Dolph for the World title for some reason

i don't really have a problem with Ordton vs Sheamus, but I think I rather see them face team hell no

I don't think there's any logical way in hell Taker should take a step down and go from Dave to Edge to Michaels to HHH to Punk. It should be Cena. The streak should be big and falsifying a belief that Punk could put up a better fight than those guys and end the streak ... Ain't nobody got time for that.

 

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

If this is the actual card, it will be yet another Mania I refuse to watch.

 

[Kahuna]

Cesaro I think needs a high profile match on this card if they want to get him over. Have him start a tremendous feud with someone leading up to WM, then put the title on the line. Give him a good, solid booking and opponent; and whether he is to win or lose, he will have that elevated boost to his momentum.

I dont want to see Rock vs Cena again. Cena vs Brock should have been saved for Mania, I would have much preferred Cena vs Brock at WrestleMania. not extreme rules. WWE is suffering from premature ebookulation these days.

I would like to see a more involved program for the IC title, have Wade take the route of Cesaro mentioned above as well.

Divas will have some stupid match.

I want to see Taker vs Rock for the WWE Title. I dont care what people think; that match alone would be epic to me. Rock wins at Rumble; Taker returns in the rumble, wins or wins a #1 contendership. Its a long shot, but thats what I would like to see.

We are probably looking at Brock vs Rock, Cena vs Rock. Something predictable with the big names.

As for Triple H... Im not sure where he would fit in, I mean he just took a bow last year pretty much. The way I see it, any opponent for him would be a downgrade; wouldnt measure up. He was booked as the guy to beat Taker and end an era, and in failure to do that, it would be like Michael Jordan returning to the NBA to tarnish his career with the bulls. It would just seem subpar.

The rest of the card, Im really only interested in what they do with Cesaro and Rock at this point, Taker coming back and Brocks involvement. I couldn't honestly care less about Cena's match, Orton's match, because those guys have already recycled through everyone and Cena is jsut plain suck these days... and a possible Sheamus vs Orton match just isnt appealing.

I wouldnt mind seeing Del Rio vs Ziggler for the World Title. But again, I still dont understand the logic of giving him the briefcase when they were just inevitably going to go that route anyway. WWE Logic = illogical.

Im hoping the rumble tomorrow is good; it will give us insight as to whats going to happen.

Man WWE's roster is lacking when people are more interested in guys who are never there as opposed to the ones who are, week in, week out.
