I might not even bother staying up for Mania with that card. Or maybe see if the ladder match opens the show and then head for bed. So much potential for shitfests there.

TNA just said they've resigned and signed a bunch of talent over past few weeks and will be announcing some today and some after the next tapings, guess the next tapings lot are the new signings. Wonder who they've picked up.

Ex-WWE guys.

Undertaker vs Bray Wyatt is only match I'm looking forward too. Probably my favourite segment of the year so far. It will either be a really good match or shit.

It's hard to get excited for Sting/HHH when Sting is never there, I know the same can be said for Taker but I think it works for his build as he hadn't been seen since Mania last year. Sting has been seen 3-4 times in 4 months. That video package they aired last night was terrible. I'm sure the match will be good but just want to see more build, why would Sting only sign on for so few dates anyway? Thought he would have liked to work a lot more going into Mania.

Heyman's promo was outstanding last night, his best in a while. Zero confrontation with Reigns/Lesnar last night at all though, it's just Heyman selling this match on his own. In a way another wasted Lesnar date, This is Mania they are building, not some B show.

The Tag team match I couldn't care about, Los Matadores are now being considered a legit threat for the titles, first time they have been on raw in ages.

Cena/Rusev build up has been fine and at least Orton/Rollins has finally got going now

The IC title match should be a good match but the match doesn't mean aything as whoever holds that title ends up jobbing week in week out.

[DomDom1984]

If Wyatt vs Taker doesn't have a gimmick, then it'll be terrible. Wyatt is not the man to have a really good match with a half fit Undertaker.

[Andre91]

How do you know that The Undertaker is half fit? Last year, he had a concussion during the match. A year before that, he stole the show in an awesome match with CM Punk. I'm confident in saying that a non-concussed Taker can still go.

Sheamus returning on the raw post mania?

The Undertaker the year before had someone in there who could do an absolute f**kload of work. And The Undertaker, being as good as he is and being in there with someone like that, was able to work within what he had.

Bray Wyatt is absolutely nowhere near the level of CM Punk. He isn't even on the level of a big chunk of the midcard as far as having good matches goes. He's not the guy to throw in there and hide Undertaker's limitations.

You obviously know very little on how a good wrestling match is constructed.

[DomDom1984]

Really? Going to need an elaboration on that.

[luckysalt]

Bryan is no longer in the IC match....

But Stardust is officially in. Bryan has quietly been removed however....

EDIT

He's back in now.

Bizarre turn of events that. Cody's been excellent in MitB matches before so happy he's in there now. They've picked a good bunch.

Never mind CM Punk. The year before was with HHH and HBK. Taker did zilch in that match. Year before vs HHH was a poor match. And the two before that were against HBK who could make anyone look good. He made a ladder look good at WM10! Taker had a big spot in each match but realistically he hasn't done much in the last 5-6 years.

Really have no idea where they're going with this match.

[metallimuse]

Ending his career is what I'm guessing.Would be fitting to see him wheeled out in a casket or him being put in one and something weird happening.

[DomDom1984]

I'd have loved to have seen a segment between the two, with The Undertaker showing his face only to take an absolute beasting from Bray Wyatt.

The cynic in me wonders if his removal (then addition) was a convenient accident to generate a bit of publicity. The WWE know how to play their fanbase.

I think there is room on a wrestlemania card for matches which are more about the personalities than having a great wrestling match. To me Wyatt V Undertaker is as much about the entrances and the personalities. It wont win match of the year but the crowd are going to have fun. I see Wyatt turning face very soon as his larger than life personality makes if difficult to hate him.

I wont watch it live (which is normal for me) but I think the card looks very strong. I think Reign is a more interesting challenger for the title than Bryan and enjoy how they are using the uncertainty about his future as part of the story.

Sting V HHH will be a great match. Sting was the main man when I first started watching wrestling in the Elton Welsby ITV days. I don't need to see multiple Sting promos as the intrigue as captivated me.

Cena v Rusev and Rollins V Orton are both solid feuds which could go either way. I like a lot of guys in the intercontinental match but as I have said previously, I think theres a risk that trying to push too many people, nobody gets enough focus to really get over.

[Andre91]

It's far too early really, but what does everyone think will be the main event of WrestleMania 32? I'm going with The Undertaker vs. Sting.

On a slightly different, Sting related note. What was with that vignette on RAW and them not using his voice? Why in the world did they edit it? It made zero sense to me. One line in it really irked me too, when it said, "I couldn't save WCW". Sting didn't need or have to save WCW. He WAS WCW.

I'm still 100% expecting him to go over though.

They went out of business, he couldn't save them.

Sting/Taker could well happen but not sure if it would main event. Far too early to be predicting this kind of stuff but I will say Rollins vs Cena.

Well yes I'm aware of that but I don't really get why the WWE are making it a WCW vs. WWE thing now. When Sting showed up in November, he was this mysterious force there to combat The Authority. Now they're making it out as if WCW's downfall was solely on Sting's shoulders.

And I think if Taker vs. Sting happens, it main events. Vince and Triple H will make sure of it. They have too much respect for him. Vince has said that Taker is his favourite wrestler of all time due to his loyalty, professionalism and passion. He's a proud Texan too so I think it makes all the sense in the world to have him wrestle his last match ever match in front of 100,000 fans in his home state

I also think that Roman Reigns vs. The Rock will happen for the WWE Title too.

That was Sting's voice, apparantly at one point in 90's he would have a digitally altered voiced (which they dropped as it's fucking stupid) and they brought it back as they don't want to have an identical TNA/WCW Sting but a slightly different yet familar WWE Sting.

[A-Rob]

I hope taker's has enough gas in his tank to wrestle his last match at next year's WM in Texas as I'm planning to go and would love to see Taker's last match in person as he's one of my all time favourites.

Yeah I know it was his voice, but it was so heavily edited. I agree, it is stupid.

[luckysalt]

Its absolutely FUCKING STUPID

Especially as hes a special attraction and just here for Mania. Utter idiocy.

[metallimuse]

Having him bow out next year in his home state makes sense but if he beats Bray this year I don't see what that does for Bray.

I'd heard rumours it was gunna be a casket match and as I posted earlier having him lose this year in a casket match of all matches and never seen again would be pretty cool.Have him inducted hall of fame next year in his home state as well.

[Andre91]

If I could book The Undertaker, I'd have him lose to Bray Wyatt this year, and the announcers etc proper make out as if this really is the end for The Undertaker. The next night on RAW, Sting comes out, fresh off his victory over Triple H to officially announce that he is retiring, haveing came to the WWE to do what he needed to do. I'd then have the gongs and Taker come out, and say that Sting can't retire until he has faced him at WrestleMania. Sting accepts, but on the condition that they go out together.

This could work other way round too, with Taker coming out to announce his retirement, and Sting interrupting to say that the WWE's Phenom can't retire until the faces WCW's Franchise at WrestleMania.

I'm just really hoping the match happens, I don't care how old they are. It will be a spectacle all the same.

Just getting a one on one match at wrestlemania is a big achievement, otherwise he would be just another number in the intercontinental or battle royal matches. A wrestlemania match against the undertaker is huge and just sharing the ring with him is a big boost to the character in my view.

I think Im in the minority, but I have no interest in undertaker v sting. The undertaker is a WWE legend and I don't see why you would have his retirement match against someone who has had (possibly) only 1 match in the wwe. I think undertaker v cena would be the better option.
