So let's play fantasy booker for next year's WM
rumors this far
Owens vs Lesnar
Cena vs Taker.....
Realistically what would you like to see....
For me...
Caesaro vs Ambrose for the belt (If Caesaro is back)
Charlotte vs Bayley - that's right.....
-
I would need a fantasy roster to care.
I absolutely hate what they've got now.

Yup....imagine paying 300 - 500 dollars on average for a ticket for WM to watch lower to bottom line C players.
-
So no one wants to play fantasy booker?
-
Is there anybody left...
Just heard today Cena is out...
Torn rotator cuff..
Goes under the knife this week.
Out 6 months.. no wrestlemania...
They better start looking at some free agents..
Who is out there ?
Kurt Angle
Rey Misterio
Goldberg
Stone cold ( offer him a a shit load of money )
Batista
CM Punk
Anybody else missing?

Might put my tickets on stub hub...
Everybody is getting injured...
It's going to be a shitty wrestlemania....

I recently read that Jericho is booked.

Apparently, Rock is in. He's certainly gonna be one of the main events. Taker was supposed to face Cena. Now, that's up in the air, especially since the Brock program is done.
Jericho is simply not a Wrestlemania main eventer, but he'll have a second tier match. Owens would be a good one.
Austin might make an appearance but I don't believe it will be as an in ring performer.
So, your big three:
1. Rock
2. Brock
3. Taker
Full time current performers:
1. Reigns
He's probably gonna face one of the top three. I'd guess Taker. That's leaves Rock vs Brock which is a legit Wrestlemania Main Event.
The wild card is Triple H who will probably want to interject himself into a Main Event, but is clearly not on the level of the top three. IMO, he should put over Ambrose. There's enough time to set up that feud.
Top Four Matches:
1. Rock/Brock
2. Taker/Reigns
3. Triple H/Ambrose
4. Jericho/Owens

Hogan vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Dudley's vs The British Bull Dogs vs The Hardy's in a TLC match
A heel Shawn Michael's vs Ricky Steamboat
Kevin Owen's vs C.M.Punk in a no DQ match (think of their independant days)
Ric Flair vs John Cena
Randy Savage vs Rick Rude (winner gets the rights to Liz for a month)
The Rock vs Sting
Brock Lesner vs Chris Benoit
Chris Jericho vs Eddie Guerrero
Trish Stratus vs Sensational Sherri (loser gets their pussy eaten on live tv)
How's that? Lol
-
It is coming down to a lackluster card and nothing has been announced.
The spectacle called "Wrestlemania" will draw but will they crack 100K attendance record??
Now with New Japan coming in, this might shake things up. Be interesting to see if Balor gets a call up to join his Bullet club buddies. They could throw them right into a feud with Wyatt's.

In all seriousness...here is my prediction for the next couple of months....
HHH enters as the 30th entrant into the Royal Rumble. Wins the title. Then he and Roman Reigns can have that dream scrap of employee vs employer at WM where Reigns defeats the authority and wins the title back.
-
Rumors are saying Roman will win the Rumble and go onto face HHH at WM...
What is interesting is there are no challengers for Taker and Brock.....

Is the Rock going to wrestle or just have a guest roll? I wouldn't mind the Rock versus Brock. Some box office #'s there plus Brock owes the Rock a job for when Rock put him over at SS back in the day for Brock's 1st WWE title win. If Sting is healthy, he can scrap Taker.
-
Right now it is looking to be quite a lackluster card
HHH vs Reigns
Taker vs Straumann....please no
Brock vs Wyatt......am torn on this as I see Brock going over.....they really need to start elevating Wyatt.....they heat him up then cool him down all the time...

Taker vs Straumann is only a rumour but who knows. I just cannot justify paying on average 400 bucks a ticket for average WM seats to watch this nonsense.

Ironically, Wrestlemania has become a real problem for Vince & Co. It puts a lot of pressure on them to come up with a blockbuster show when there's really nothing big happening at the present time.
There are a few interesting things going on: AJ, Kevin Owens, Nakamura & Sasha. I even like the Dudley Boys turn, but there's nothing which merits renting out a 100k seat venue.

Unfortunately there is nothing "blockbuster" about it anymore. The old farts that they bring back for the 3 months leading into WM need to retire permanently. They need to let the under stars develop or there will be no Wrestlemania tomorrow.

I can't remember a year when it seemed so forced. They're looking at a Main Event of HHH vs either Brock/Reigns/Ambrose. Does anyone care enough about these potential match ups to merit a stadium show? According to Meltzer, a Reigns win at Fastlane means a Brock / Bray Wyatt WM match. Bray is not a main eventer and Brock is doing just enough to get paid.
Also, the effects of the three hour Raw are taking its toll. The wrestlers are already overexposed. So, it's hard to care about any PPV event.

The three hour Raw is bad yes, I agree with you there. There is way to much over exposure.

Wade Keller had an interesting thought in Stone Cold's show...
Reigns vs HHH at WM.....Rock in Roman's corner. Roman wins and when Rock goes to raise his hand, he turns on him, beats the heck out of him, immediate heel heat. This is the only way he will get over, granted as a heel.
IMO this can set up a good feud with Ambrose, a returning Rollins now a face etc etc

While I'm a regular listener to Wade's Podcasts, I will respectfully disagree.
Rock is a bigger star than either Reigns or HHH. Having him at ringside would minimize the match as everyone will be waiting to see Rock get involved.
If Rock is gonna be at WM, have a match. Having him there and not wrestle is getting "A little bit pregnant."

Rock will not wrestle. After the fiasco a few years back when he tore his abductor muscle or obliques when wrestling Cena....it pushed all his movies back a few months....
I see him in a promo role like he did last year

He couldn't wrestle even if he wanted to. He has obligations with Hollywood as he's in the middle of making another movie. The WrestleMania appearance is just that, an appearance in a non wrestling role. In and out.

Newest rumor is Undertakers opponent is someone not on the Roster.....perhaps Samoa Joe?
I think this could be a decent match up, very physical/brawling
-

Seems late in the game for this. Joe is still an unknown to most WWE fans. Is it someone not on the main roster, or not with the company at all?
-
Furthermore, the man the company has in mind is not even on the roster right now, according to Dave Meltzer. It's unclear what exactly that means, as Meltzer speculates that could start up Sting rumors.
Not sure if this means WWE "main"roster as it could mean NXT or perhaps like a Shinsake Nakamaura...(sp)
-
Again, Nakamura hasn't been introduced to the American audience on a large scale. Way too early to have him go against an all time great.
If WWE insists on having Taker on the card, without it being a rerun, the best bet would be Owens.
-

I can't for the life of me see Undertaker wrestling Samoa Joe in his goodbye / good riddens match at the biggest show of them all.
-
Now there is rumblings that either AJ/Jericho will be a full time tag team and challenge New Day for belts at WM OR Jericho will heel turn and have them face each other again at WM.....both scenarios suck...
Listen to the pops AJ is getting.....throw him in a feud with Owens

Granted we now know it is Shane vs UT BUT I disagree, I think that at least 50-60% of people that attend the shows are smart marks and would know who Joe is.......Nakamaura would be a stretch.
Hell based on your thoughts... the fans should not have known who AJ was/is and look at his reception...

The difference is that it's a 100k seat venue, not a normal show. They have to get the casual fans not just the smart marks.

Great point.....JR says that people attend WM based on the name but I tend to think that in today's landscape the matches are equally important

Thanks. I don't disagree with you. Joe / Taker would be a cool match. So would Joe / Brock. Maybe next year, as I think Joe will go over big if brought up to the main roster. His submission style works well in a pro wrestling world where the fans are aware of MMA.
-
Never was a huge Samoa Joe fan, but that's just me.
I'm not saying he's a bad wrestler, but he just never connected with me as a fan.
-
I can count on one hand how many matches I have seen of Joe's but would be nice to get another bad ass on the main roster that doesn't look like a swimsuit model ;D

Very good point. Plus, to sell a 100,000 seat venue, WWE needs to really stock the card.
-
Do you think Taker will still be on the card after grabbing Vince by the throat?
Titus got 60 days for grabbing an arm. ;)

Lol...that one still has me puzzled. Unless...he failed the Wellness policy and they are using the grabbing of the arm as a scapegoat to avoid a media frenzy ;)

It easy to read too much in to this type of thing.
Could've been that Vince had a bad night's sleep and was in a pissed off mood.

Any chance they swerve it, have Ambrose beat TripleH, and have him face Reigns at WM?

I was thinking something along these lines as well. Shane/HHH & Reigns/Taker makes more sense than the other way around. Then, Ambose/ Lesnar would be for the title.
There's needs to be some fancy footwork, story wise to make it happen, but they still have a month.

I think Ambrose vs Reigns would actually generate interest. Especially since Ambrose is pretty over right now. They could turn Reigns, which might also help him in the long run....just a thought.

Ambrose / Reigns certainly makes more sense than Ambrose / Lesnar. Everything this year feels forced. Basically, the only reason for Taker to be on the card is that he's Taker.

Ambrose / Lesnar sucks because Ambrose shouldn't even stand a chance with Lesnar. They did the whole "take a beating but not quit" with Lesnar /Reigns last year at WM.....this would be a repeat.
I'm guessing they're monitoring ticket sales and will adapt on the fly over the next few weeks. Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit.

All the ex writers I've heard on Podcasts said Vince regularly changed storylines and matches at the last minute.

Reigns just needs to go full blown heel

Reigns just needs to go full blown heel
A few months ago, New Day was cutting a promo on Reigns. Woods pointed out that Reigns had been wearing the same outfit for two years. Then, Kofi starts yelling, "Change it up! Change it up!"
I almost pissed myself.
That's the problem. You can't have the viewers laughing AT your top face.

The problem there is they are grasping at straws. they have about 4-5 guys that are seriously hurt on the roster. Plus there is nothing really worth watching storyline wise. People were cheering HHH when he was beating the piss out of Reigns. Lesner vs Ambrose is a David versus Goliath scenario and you can expect Ambrose to take a severe beating and bump hard for Lesner at WM. Look at what WWE is forced to do....Undertaker who is old and barely able to move versus Shane McMahon??? WTF?
-
Here's what will happen. We will be swerved and HHH will retain. Next night on Raw Rollins comes out and demands a match for the belt he never lost
OR
The Raw the next night after WM sees HHH doing a 20 minute dialogue and is interrupted by Kevin Owens making him the new Stone Cold fighting the boss/authority.

Except there will NEVER BE another Stone Cold.

And this is true. Owens may not be the "WWE" swimsuit model mold BUT he can brawl, wrestle and promos are good...
actually wouldnt mind seeing him and Bray in a feud

Couldn't agree with you more.....Owens vs Styles, Sami (which they are doing), perhaps Balor......
I read an interview with Owens and he said what one piece of advice were you given.....said he met Austin years ago and was told, Don't stop running your mouth....
