Can't wait. I seriously hope they have taker vs lesnar then db vs hhh then the title match. Would be so awesome to watch him do both matches back to back and hold both belts to end the night.

They did it. Actually really into all of these matches this year. Looking to be pretty memorable

:yes:

This Monday shaped things up better for WM I will now be buying the network before to watch this live and not have to worry about some stream breaking or lagging etc. I'm really excited about the Andre memorial battle royal I hope Big E wins, and of course hope Bryan walks out with the gold because I can't stand to see Orton anymore, and Batista winning wouldn't be the absolute worst.

Also would be epic if Taker/Lesnar was a buried alive and Taker would bury both of them in the same hole!

omg buried alive would be too epic. But I'm right with you man I was hesitant but they get my money for it for sure for that awesome raw. I was going to anyway just had second thoughts really but it feels better this way.

I love watching Wrestlemania. Granted I have only seen a couple in my lifetime, I always look forward to them. And this year is no different. Now I know none of you know who I am, but I usually like to break down the matches and give my honest opinion and analysis of the matches prior to the events. I do not read dirt sheets and I never give spoilers, these are just my own opinions and assessments. Hope you guys enjoy this breakdown from my eyes.

Opening Match: The Andre the Giant Memorial 30-Superstar Battle Royal

Participants (Confirmed):
Ryback
Curtis Axel
Big E
Kofi Kingston
Damien Sandow
Dolph Ziggler

Participants (My guesses):
Eric Rowan
Luke Harper
Diego
Fernando
Fandango
Big Show
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
Dean Ambrose
Antonio Cesaro
Jack Swagger
Heath Slater
Jindar Mahal
Drew McIntyre
Sheamus
The Great Khali
Cody Rhodes
Goldust
Tyson Kidd
Darren Young
Titus O'Neil
Alexander Rusev
Alberto Del Rio
Christian

First off, I would like to say this is a great match idea. Honoring Andre like this is just...it's awesome. Now the first six names confirmed in the match plus the twenty four guesses I put down would make for one hell of a match. With those thirty names it would be so unpredictable due to everyone's key strengths and weaknesses leading up to Mania. Examples: Who is stronger? Big E or Cesaro? Or will Cesaro and Swagger work well together in this match if put in it? Questions like that arise daily and I personally feel are strong enough to warrant thought.

Winner: Cesaro or Big E.

John Cena vs Bray Wyatt

I am not a Cena fan. I just feel he is crammed down my throat too much these days. Yeah he was good to watch back when his gimmick was fresh and new, but now it's more stale than day old pizza. Bray on the other hand is new. It's different. To me Bray Wyatt is a mix of Undertaker (Ministry days) and Jake Roberts. He has a silver tongue and good mic skills and his in ring abilities have gotten better from what I have seen. But the big factor (no pun intended) is whether or not Harper and Rowan will make an appearance? honestly I do not think so due to my prediction they will enter the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Plus with the way Bray "reacted" after Rowan losing on RAW, I expect this to be made more of a personal match than a professional one.

Winner: Bray Wyatt

Daniel Bryan vs HHH

This match has been building for months now and it culminates at XXX. So who will win? Obviously HHH has the strength and experience factors for him whereas Bryan has youth and speed to combat HHH strengths. Honestly this match is going to be amazing IF HHH is still in good enough ring shape. With his age nagging him and previous injuries, I do not see the Game going a full twenty minute five star match with Bryan.

Winner: Daniel Bryan

The Streak vs The Beast

Brock Lesnar is a walking hurricane. The man has had some of the most dominant matches in WWE history and with the moniker of the "Beast", it justly fits his persona. But than again this is Wrestlemania. This is Undertaker's backyard. At 21-0 nobody will ever come close to being as dominating as Taker at any WWE event. But the big question here is how much longer can he endure? Like HHH, Taker is plagued by injuries. Everybody knows this. But as a loyal Undertaker fan I want to see the streak continue until he retires (which is hopefully after this Mania). Yes Lesnar has the tools to beat Taker any day of the week, but Lesnar has never faced a man with as much strength at any PPV as Taker with Mania.

Winner: Undertaker

The Main Event: WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton vs Batista vs Daniel Bryan

Honestly this is the most hyped match this year in my opinion. With Batista coming back earlier this year, everyone knew he was going to win the Rumble. With Orton's recent actions (attacking Cena's father, etc) it looks as though WWE is making a new face for the company. Enter Daniel Bryan. Personally I think this push he is getting with air time is HHH and Stephanie's way of grooming him for the spotlight. Everybody wants to see it and everybody wants it.

A little sidenote: I forget which Mainia it was, but Ted DiBiase pulled triple duty wrestling three times culminating in a Main Event match against Randy Savage (not 100% positive). If anyone can do it again it is Daniel Bryan.

Winner and New WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Daniel Bryan

This is a small card as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see either on the preview show a Divas title match or the US title being defended.

Hope you all enjoyed reading this. Please feel free to add your comments if you agree or disagree.

I think this card is shaping up good despite really no buildup until after EC, but WWE is rolling right now and should be given some credit. I was thinking will Bryan go clean over HHH? I was thinking maybe him getting screwed to have Vince or Hogan personally add him so they can end the show with the whole place screaming YES! I just think Bryan is defiantly going over somehow.

If for some reason they don't break up the Shield, I could definitely see them interfering in Bryan's favor if HHH tries some dirty tactics.
