Those 3 matches at the top ARE the show. Bryan and Sheamus has potential as a match, but unfortunately the build up has pretty much sucked.

 

Pretty disappointed Ziggler is going in without a significant match. He is someone who has show stealing potential, but he won't really be able to do it in a gimmicky match like that.

 

Definitely a must watch PPV though for the Rock alone. The Taker-Trips build up has been amazing too.

The Rock has been so weak in his promos the past few weeks, he was tearing it up last year but all he's done for the build up for Wrestlemania is get the crowd to chant new catchphrases. Cena hasn't been any better, he keeps spouting the same shit (I come to work every day hurr durr) and the one moment where The Rock actually tried to get this feud serious a few weeks back and all Cena could do was look back with his same goofy smile. Honestly this "dream" feud started off with so much promise but has been so disappointing. This match should have happened last year when the build up was actually done right.

 

Taker - Triple H stole the show last year and can do so again. Great build up.

 

Said it before but I would preferred if it was Trips feuding with Punk rather Jericho, more starpower and it would make up for his previous burial match with Triple H (also works story wise). Jericho and Punk are both great workers though so this could be the match of the night despite it possibly being the opening match to the card.

What do you want? Rock and Cena have no history, what are they supposed to talk about in the 10 or so segments they have had together in the past 8 months or whatever? The feud built itself up. There doesn't need to be a "build up" through segments. The match itself is the build up... it is literally one of the 5 biggest matches that could ever happen in wrestling history. The segments could have been better, but like I said, there just isn't enough material to work with (they don't like each other, that is literally all they have to work with).

 

I think the segment that ended Monday night was pretty good. Enough good stuff has happened that the promo video should be pretty good, though not on the level of the Trips-Taker video (that shit gave me goosebumps and it ain't even WM yet).

 

Also, Triple H didn't bury Punk. Punk looked incredibly strong in that match. Losing a match does not = getting buried.

Is something better than getting the crowd to chant catchphrases for 20 minutes and a stupid "concert" too much to ask for? Seriously I'd take any generic promo over the crap the WWE has been spewing the past couple of weeks. I agree that the fued was built on its own but it was HOT last year and its like they expected that same momentum to carry over for a year and didn't seem to care about trying to add anything.

 

But Triple H did bury Punk depending how you want to look at it. Punk was OVER, way more over than he ever has been during his stint as WWE champion but losing to Trips (doesn't matter to me how he lost, it still hurt him) and getting involved in a feud that did nothing more than make him look like a whining bitch and eventually tossed him aside hurt the momentum carrying over from Money in the Bank and Summerslam. I seriously think that Punk could be a bigger star today if he won the match with Triple H and/or if Triple H turned heel.

The crowd doesn't chant catch phrases because the rock wants them too, they do it because they want to. Rock hardly ever gets the crowd to chant phrases on purpose.

Fish are you going to No Way Out in June?

Possibly, had no clue it was in NJ, or that it was in June now, but now that I know, I loved Survivor Series, would love to go to another event.
