What in the blue hell is this 'all grown up' shit they keep marketing mania as?
Seems like it is gonna be worth watching tonight for the set alone....The entranceway is the tallest theyve ever had and it will morph for different superstars' entrances! ?It?s the most lights we?ve had, the most cables we?ve had, the most production trucks we?ve had, the most searchlights, the most staging we?ve ever put down and the most LED lights we?ve ever had,? says wwe set designer Jason Robinson. He also gives a comparison between raw and this event saying that for raw they use just 24 LED boards, at WrestleMania 23 there will be 414!!! 3-4 searchlights are used at a regular ppv, there will be 56 in use tonight. The sets lighting element stands at a crazy 300 x 100 feet!
It is going to look spectacular, I loved the massive dets they used at mania's X-Seven and X8 but this sounds like it will eclipse everything.
19 was good with the really long entrance ramp. They had to use golf caddies at it to get them to the curtain because the arena was that big!
yeah sorry totally forgot 19, anything with a big arena really.

So only 8 matches tonight, what do you recon the padding will be? Obviously the performances by Aretha Franklin, Timbaland and i presume Saliva will take up a bit. The HOF usually pulls it in (can't wait for JR and the Kings' ovations). Im guessing HHH is gonna want a piece of that crowd so maybe he will do guest commentary on the main event? The head shaving segment might take up a fair while aswell. Foley said he will be there but in what capacity? Still should give the top matches loads of time to breathe aswell, can't wait!

Wrestlemania
is upon us once again, i am hoping, like last year the card will surprise me. Last year i was slating it beforehand and it surprised me they pulled it off i loved it. Really good to know about the entrances, sounds like there will be some spectacular ones to watch which is sweet, it's such an important part of the match, you need the right start, the right build up the extra special entrance to make the event feel extra big. Last year despite the often negative reviews i was a fan of the
Triple H
&
John Cena
entrances, were they over the top, yes, but hell this is
Wrestlemania
, you need stuff to give you that big time feel!
Looking to this year, that "All Grown Up" thing does seem a bit lame, still, i think it will be hard for them to top the
Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood
trailers, they were fantastic! The theme is a solid one this year, i am not much of a
Saliva
fan but when they get involved in wrestling they pull out some great songs, that
Always
was a cracking tune for
Survivor Series 2002
. Now to the matches....
Kane
vs.
The Great Khali
- Honestly i am struggling to find positives here. I am not a fan of either.
Kane
has been jobbed out so many times and has never impressed me in the ring i stopped caring about him a long time ago. His one gift to the wrestling world has always been his character which was strong when he first came in, hell it was fantastic. He lost momentum though, then they unmasked him and briefly, playing the total psycho monster again worked, but only briefly, now he's seems to be used as that
"Tough guy who jobs to new guys"
kind of the role
Hardcore Holly
has played, the guy who has a good reputation and is praised as a tough guy so therefore can lose to new wrestlers and make them look good. This one could go either way because
Khali
really can't stay round for long, he is so incompetent in the ring and is just like
Giant Gonzalez
on steroids, tough call, this match will definately be my food break match and sure as hell better be short. I'll go with
The Great Khali
.
Chris Benoit
vs.
MVP
(
US Title
) - This could be the surprise match of the night. I have been a fan of
MVP
since his debut but he has never had much chance to show his in-ring talents, having him fight
Kane
was never going to do that.
Benoit
though can carry the worst of them and i have also read on the net house show reports have been positive so if they give this enough time, which i don't think they will, it could be decent. The unfortunate thing about this though is it has received very little build-up, i mean
Benoit
wasn't even on
Smackdown
this week and apart from a few scuffles and a clash in a
6-Man
at
No Way Out
these guys have barely seen each other on TV. My pick:
MVP
Ashley
vs.
Melina
-
Melina
is better than msot give her credit for, not only is she a good character but i think she is a solid women's wrestler, hopefully she can carry
Ashley
to something half decent and hopefully they don't dedicate too much time to this. My pick:
Melina
ECW Originals
vs.
New Breed
- This seems like an attempt to just get a load of people on Wrestlemania rather than a well thought out feud. Personally i would of prefered
Sabu
/
RVD
vs
Cor Von
/
Burke
in, say, a
Tables Match
. Nonetheless this should be entertaining, i expect it to be kept short.
Sandman
is going down to a
Pounce
followed by the
Elijah Experience
me thinks....
New Breed
victory! (Just like most of the feud....)
MITB III
-
Edge
vs.
Randy Orton
vs.
Finlay
vs.
Ken Kennedy
vs.
King Booker
vs.
CM Punk
vs.
Jeff Hardy
vs.
Matt Hardy
- This match i am sure is what everyone is really looking forward to. I am still not sure about them increasing to 8, sometimes less is more, i worry that it might become a bit of a mess. The build-up considering how much time has been dedicated to the big 3 matches has been decent. They have all faced off in some good contests on tv and the growing feud between
Edge
&
Orton
has been fun to watch. The high point of this so far had to be the
Cutting Edge
on
RAW
, i really enjoyed that and it was a well put together segment. My pick:
Mr. Kennedy
.......
Kennedy
.
Lashley
w/
Donald Trump
vs.
Umaga
w/
Vince Mcmahon
,
Special Guest Referee
:
Stone Cold Steve Austin
- Lot's of build-up that's for sure, in many ways it has been overdone but i am sure on the night it will deliver and even if it isn't good in the ring the aftermatch and the look on
Vince
's face should prove priceless. Highpoint of the feud so far was probably
Lashley
jumping through the
Cage
on
ECW
onto
Umaga
. My pick:
Lashley
(Rumours of
Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
appearing are said to be false, i hope they are wrong though, i would mark like crazy if he showed up)
Undertaker
vs.
Batista
(
Streak
vs.
World Heavyweight Championship
) - I haven't got behind this match as much as the other title match. I think the build-up has been sub-par i blame that mainly on
Batista
for delivering poor promo's, i believe on the night the fans will be so into this, the atmosphere will be so huge with so much on the line that this match will be good to watch, they just need to be careful, considering who is involved, not to let this go too long. My pick:
Undertaker
.
John Cena
vs
Shawn Michaels
(
WWE Title
) - I have really enjoyed watching this feud develope on
RAW
with the can they get along or not storyline, both have delivered some fantastic promo's in this feud and i am sure on the night this match will more than deliver.
Shawn Michaels
is called
Mr. Wrestlemania
for a reason! At
VIII
he debuted as a solo star with a solid performance in the opening match. At
IX
the worst of all time he still had the best match on the card. At
X
he stole the show in that classic
Ladder Match
, at
XI
he carried
Diesel
to an often overlooked easily best match on a weak card, at
XII
he went
60 minutes +
in a spectacular show of endurance, at
XIV
despite the fact that he wasn't fit to wrestle and his back was messed up he carried on through the pain and had a decent match with
Steve Austin
. Since he has returned his
Wrestlemania
performances have been awesome, vs.
Jericho
, vs.
Benoit
&
Triple H
, vs.
Kurt Angle
, vs
Vince Mcmahon
all those matches have been fantastic and the highlight of said shows and i am sure he will pull it off tonight. Slate
John Cena
all you will but the guy is a hard worker and he tries like crazy, you combine that effort with
HBK
's talent and you have a classic on your hands, can't wait! My pick:
John Cena
!

Stoned Stoned Stoned my man, you will never let me down! Cracking preview there. You are right about saliva, i think this is the best mania tune since my way, which bodes well. I hope they really hype up the main event with the huge build up and entrances again. HBK's and Takers entrances are gonna be something special im sure.
It's wierd I have hardly watched an ounce of wrestling in a year and yet here i am in front of my pc checking all the sights, getting every tidbit of news i can find and getting genuinely excited, there is a mark that has been laying dormant in me for a long time starting to burst out!
wwe.com has loads of cool stuff, pictures of the (humungous) arena, hof speeches, and later there is going to b preview shows with josh and (oh yes) maria. 4.25 hours to go, bring it on!

I love what you are saying about the arena i have actually been avoiding wwe.com 'cos i don't wanna see it i want to wait until
'Mania
itself. I would like to think we could have a few surprises tonight, one possibility that has been mentioned which i think would rule would be the
MITB Winner
cashing in tonight. Since
Cena
's match is on last i think that is unlikely but it could happen,
Orton
could pull an
Edge
and cash in and beat him. My sister (of all people) came up with a great idea. Have
Undertaker
win and then
Kennedy
cashes in the
MITB
and beats him, ends his streak, wins the title and in one night becomes the
World Champion
and most hated heel around who people secretly like because he's so damn good, kind of like
Edge
, for something like that i would mark like crazy and think it is that kind of thing that is a great way to elevate talent i mean really, do we need
Batista
to end the streak?

id rather he didnt but i cant be 100% sure, which im liking, unpredictability is the kay, in fact i think i can only confidently predict 1 winner tonight, havent said that about mania in a long time. I've got a feeling Edge and Orton are gonna grab it at the same time.

Already had taker/kennedy though, but could happen, its defo between those 3. Although i have a feeling the 'talking' points may come from other superstars in the match

Yeah i'm sure
The Hardy Boyz
have somthing awesome in mind.
I know
WWE
would not do it but i would like
HBK
to win then they shake hands but
Cena
picks him up and
FU
's him and turns heel, we need a big turn like that to shake things up and with an
Orton
face turn on the cards it would be nice.
HBK
could then drop the title at
Backlash
to a heel
Cena
and take his time off for knee surgery...
.....while
Heel
Cena
feuds with
Face
Orton
, get's past him by which time
Triple H
will be back and they can resume feuding. I get the feeling
Cena
will be a face for years and years and then when he finally does turn heel it will be like the moment
Hogan
became
nWo

Or it could be the simple fact that big matches following big matches is not wise you need filler to let people breath.
Big Match: MITB
Filler: US Title
Filler: ECW Battle
Big Match: Trump/Mcmahon
Filler: Women's Title
Big Match: World Title
Filler: Kane/Khali

heres somemore news, it's not really a spoiler but it concerns entrances so if you want a surprise don't read the little writing:
John Cena is supposed to have the biggest entrance on the show tonight. Something of a "Motor City" theme with cars.

yeah but to open the show with a ladder match? especially as there is no other real ' spotfest' on the card is a strange move, whatever happens it will ignite the crowd and there doesn't seem to be any other candidate to open the show actually. Remember the HOF segment will act as filler too and so will an apparent 'dance contest'.
