Hall Of Fame
The Hall Of Fame should be there for people that did something for wrestling as a sport and as an industry! By now, you can be sure that almost everyone will end up in the HOF sooner or later, whether they did great or not. If you didn't fuck up after leaving the WWE, you are as good as in.You don't even have to be a Wrestler! Actors, boxer, whoever showed their face for a short time gets inducted. For me, this completely destroys the meaning behind a Hall Of Fame in general. It's a joke and a way to make more money, and that is all. It's not prestigious, not anymore!
WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match
The Usos vs. Rybaxel vs. The Real Americans vs. Los MatadoresFirst of all, putting this match in the Pre-Show is a real waste. If there will be no filler matches, I can understand since one match has to go into the Pre-Show, and it would be either this one or the Diva's match for they haven't been announced as much as the others, but if there is a filler match, why wasting a title match for the Pre-Show, something you can see even without purchasing the PPV?
Secondly, the participants. The Usos deserved a victory, even if think it was too early for them to get the titles from the New Age Outlaws. There was no real story involved, they simply got a match and won. This surely didn't do much to either team's credibility (Usos and Outlaws), and it gave the Tag Titles even less meaning. But still, they are the champions and even though they lack the proper build up, they are doing a mighty fine job up to now. The Real Americans have been in for a title shot for a long long time now, and with the big pop Cesaro and his Swing get every time they're on the screen, it was no question that they should be in this match. It's the other two teams that strike a nerve with me.
Rybaxel had been caught in a downward spiral even before they turned their back on Paul Heyman, but after losing him as their manager (or separating ways with him), it went worse and worse. Ryback is no force to be reckon with anymore. He is a joke. Losing match after match didn't do any of them any favor, and now it seems like it drags down the rest of the contestants in this Fatal 4-Way as well. And yet, involving the latest matches, it at least made sense to put them in this match...
... Which is not the case with Los Matadores. The WWE lacks tag teams at the moments, or so it seems. Since Cody Rhodes and Goldust are in the Battle Royal, Los Matadores seemed to be the last face Tag Team around. And thus, they get a title chance. It's a joke, really, because from what they did so far, they don't deserve this spot in the slightest. Their story lines are basically non-existent, and all they are used for is being a laughing stock. Do I have to remind you which part of this team had been in the Royal Rumble?
I hardly think that The Usos will lose their titles so soon, and I would be completely fine with that. Rapidly changing titles only take the worth from them. But if they lose them in the end, I hope and pray that they won't lose them to Los Matadores or Rybaxel!!!
Vickie Guerrero's Divas Championship Invitational
Usually, the way to bring out all the Diva's on Wrestlemania is by letting them dance and jump around with one of the live acts. Embarrassing and as far from wrestling as it could get. This year, they are all thrown into one and the same match. If this really is going to be some strange Fatal 14-Way, I wonder how this is supposed to work. Not that I expect much of a diva's match anyway, but still. 14 Diva's in one ring and one has to get the pin over another - that doesn't only look stupid on the paper.I don't really care for this match, yet I think it is highly predictable that AJ will lose her title to one of the Total Diva's cast (minus Summer Rae). My favoured pick is Natalya, yet I guess Naomi and Nikki have great chances as well - if deserved, I won't comment on that. I only know that, if Eva Marie wins, I quit!!!
The Shield vs. Kane & The New Age Outlaws
I am no particular fan of The Shield (Seth Rollins being my one big exception, but I prefer him as a singles wrestler any day), and I am more than indifferent about Kane, having even a slight repulsion against The New Age Outlaws. And thus, my only hope for this match is that The Shield wins only for the sake of stopping this ridiculous story line, and for Rollins to have a lot screen time with being able to show of his exceptional talent!The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
After my last post about the Battle Royal, new contestants have been confirmed. Some I wished and predicted to be involved already "made it", like Darren Young, Justin Gabriel, and Zack Ryder. On the other hand, Santino Marella and The Great Khali, two I have been dreading to see in the match, are in as well. Brodus Clay, Rey R-Truth, Sin Cara, and Raw GM Brad Maddox are merely some more jobbers added to the game, while I am not sure why Rey Mysterio would have his small return (after being absent for quite a while now) in the Battle Royal. Three spots are still open. Maybe for one of the unsuccessful tag teams from the Pre-Show match?This is definitely one of the matches I'm looking forward to, especially since I am a sucker for Royal Rumbles and Battle Royals. With the new faces added, I still see no difference in chance of winning though. Up to now, Sheamus and Big Show seem to be the most possible picks.
John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
After finishing off The Shield, Bray Wyatt and his clan were on to higher grounds, and of all people, John Cena was their chosen victim. Sure, x-times WWE champion, top guy of the company, all that jazz, but is Bray Wyatt ready for this? His rise was fast, and lined with a lot more downgrading than uplifting matches in the beginning. No question, Wyatt and his Redneck sect have charisma, potential, and just that special something, but are they good enough to succeed over the Chaingang Commander yet? I don't think so.Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H
Aka the story line designed for CM Punk. Good for Daniel Bryan that he got booked in there instead, given that he gets a big push out of it and the whole Yes Movement, but why Triple H? Why can't he just sit back in a chair, like Vince, and make the decisions, like Vince, and leave the wrestling ring to others, like Vince? Triple H makes a shitload of money, let's face it, and with scheduling himself in for a Wrestlemania match, he takes the spot of someone who could make some money instead.At one point in time, wrestlers should realize that they shouldn't get in the ring anymore. Triple H sadly missed it... I, like million other people, have my fingers crossed for a victory of the beard, yet, the match and the whole feud lost me as a watcher some weeks ago.
The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
22:0, this is my prediction. Brock Lesnar, who obligatorily destroys his own image by taking the microphone and producing sounds only dogs can hear, is taking on the Deadman, and he actually thinks he can break The Streak. Next!Let's just hope he doesn't break anything else on Taker, seriously! The man isn't the youngest anymore, and the Beast Incarnate is not particularly known to be extra careful with his opponents in the ring. Bob "Hardcore" Holly might disagree with me here, but a lot has changed since a young Lesnar broke Holly's arm back when he was still new to the industry!
