It just seems so ho hum and status quo. Nothing offensive, but nothing like we've come to expect for a RTWM. I thought last year's road to Mania was fine, basically on par with this year thus far, but things felt a lot less stale. Rock/Cena II just does nothing for me (or anyone, seemingly)

And I don't think I could ever enjoy a road to something that I know I won't enjoy. I guess that's just me though.

Sorry if this is presumptions, but isn't Dolph basically the only superstar you mark for or care about at the moment? There might be a couple more (though I don't remember) but the superstars the PPV is basically revolved around aren't really your types of guys (Punk for example). Furthermost, the build has been pretty much Punk's territory at the moment and we all know how much you dislike him.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but it's seemingly a case of the biggest PPV of the year based around guys you dislike or don't care about, so naturally you won't really enjoy it.

For me and others who are positive about it, we have:

- Whatever CM Punk is doing. He has been the best thing in wrestling recently for me and I have no shame admitting that (Bobby Roode is up there too).

- The Rock. Regardless of whether it's with Cena again, I'll be enjoying his promos with John and the build should be good. Whatever the result it will be something to discuss and is something I care about and something I'm curious about.

- Brock Lesnar. Even if it's with big nose McGee I will still be excited as I'm a huge Brock mark.

- Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho. No explanation needed.

- The Shield. I mark so hard for all these guys at the moment.

- Antonio Cesaro. Again, one of my current favourites, so I'm invested in whatever he's doing.

- Mark Henry. Hall of pain is back baby.

- A shining Alberto Del Rio. <3

Lots for me to love about WWE at the moment.

So far this year's is much better than last year's, the roster is looking so much better now as Crayo mentioned above.

But looking at the possible card: Lesnar/HHH II will have awesome build as a guy you love faces a guy you hate, the four guys you mark for in the company will all be facing each other (Ziggler and Jericho, Henry and Alberto), how can you not be excited? Granted, there's always a chance of WWE doing something Blue like having Jack Swagger win the chamber, but we can always hope.

Rock and Cena will be in the ME spot where you'll be half asleep anyway.

I like pretty much everyone you listed and still mark for Brock, Henry and especially ADR. Still doe... this build is just mediocre

With all this hype and expectation around Ziggler's reign, I would prepare to be disappointed.

As long as it's not fifteen minutes long, I think I'll be content with whatever we end up getting there.

Well, there's nothing in special that gets me excited, thinking "wow, I've got to watch this", but I'd say overall things are going alright, there are lots of positives at the moment.

Yeah, knowing that we're going to get Cena/Rock, Lesnar/HHH really isn't exciting to me. Being that the main eventers aren't there to really build up the show is a big setback to me. It was even like that last year for me because at 1st when I heard of Rock vs Cena I was amped, but as it got closer I didn't really care.

I'm excited for it, I enjoy wrestling and don't complain about preditability. I don't really mind it as long as the matches as mania are great.

it doesn't seem "blah" to me. I've been enjoying raw so far this year, actually.
