Repeating myself from some other board:
Looks like the Andre battle royal has been moved to the pre-show. Which makes 7 wrestling matches for this 4 hour wrestling show. Not helping my excitement level for this Mania.
really?
ugh.
here's my interest in each match ranked:
1. IC Ladder Match - just to see Ambrose, Ziggler, DB in same ring and making the IC kind of relevant again
2. Wyatt vs. Taker - mostly for Taker. I haven't seen a WM in years so I haven't seen Taker in years
3. Sting vs. Triple H - both are older but can be fun
4. Lesnar vs. Reigns - I do not care about Reigns at all, I just wan t to see Lesnar
5. Battle Royale - whatever, can be fun
6. Cena vs. Rusev - cenawinslol
7. Rollins vs. Orton - do not care in the slightest
8. Divas match - blergh
Might as well do my ranking.
Stuff I will probably be interested in:
1. Ladder Match - I have a feeling this one will steal the show, with Ziggler walking out with the belt.
2. Lesnar/Reigns - With Lesnar re-signing, I wonder if he leaves with the strap. That's really my only reason in being interested. Or...
3. Orton/Rollins - I don't know where else to list it, but I think this is the night where Rollins attempts a cash-in.
Stuff I had higher hopes for:
4. Battle Royale - I had higher hopes for this one originally, but with it being moved to the pre-show, I don't expect much. But there still is the payoff of a potential Sandow face turn. This also speaks to what I think of the rest of the card.
Stuff that I will watch and/or will be playing out in the background:
5. Taker/Wyatt - Two things that interest me about this match: what Taker will look like after not being in the ring for a year (and being a year older), and obviously "the entrance" at an outdoor arena. I couldn't care less about Wyatt or his character.
6. Grabbing a beer - will probably happen multiple times throughout the evening. I have a feeling the Belgians will win, although there might be a run-in by an IPA.
7. Sting/HHH - As much as I want to be excited about this match, it's minimum 10 years too late. Maybe Sting shows he still has something in the tank, but there's no way Hunter Hearst Hogan's ego puts Sting over on the biggest PPV of the year.
Meh, whatever:
8. Fatal 4-way Tag Team Championship - I forgot this was on the card. Running it in the two hour kickoff event, I have a feeling a lot of fans will do the same.
9. Bathroom break - maintaining continuity from the earlier match at #6.
10. Cena/Rusev - I even like Rusev, but we all know the end result of this match....yep, cenawinslol. Considered ranking higher for the potential of the large crowd singing "John Cena succccks!" for 15-20 seconds, but who do I move down?
11t. Updating the resume - I'm a free agent on 4/1 and although pending offers are on the table, I have yet to put pen to paper on anything. Time's a ticking...
11t. Food - Takeout? Delivery? Digiorno?
Zero ****s were given:
12. Musical acts. I couldn't care any less about any of these artists. Even if I was a fan, that's not why I'm tuning in.
13. Additional unannounced match. No sources, I just have a feeling one will be added. There's no way this PPV goes 4 fours with 7 matches.
