Craig H Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm guessing they do it Wrestlemania X style and HHH vs Daniel Bryan opens the show. I would put the Battle Royale right in front of the main event to let the crowd have a breather. That's an awesome card. I'm stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 There's bound to be some bullshit too.. its wrestlemania tradition. We'll have some time consuming celebrity stuff and probably backstage skits etc.. no way there's 3 hours of action. I'm going to say the show doesn't get close to 4 hours either. Maybe 3:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Taker-Brock probably goes closer to 40-45, if you include entrances and exit. Yeah, that's probably the biggest reason my format is wishful thinking. I'm really hoping the match itself doesn't go more than 10 minutes because (1) it's not that interesting, (2) Lesnar is at his best when he sprints, and (3) Taker doesn't need to be working long matches against the stiffest guy on the roster at his age. I'm back and forth on where to put HHH/Bryan. I think the battle royal has to open just because of entrances, unless you do all of them and the musical performance at the same time. That's the only way I could see it in the middle of the show, although it still ends up taking way more time than it should that way. I think HHH/Bryan should go on early because why would kayfabe HHH not want to rest between matches? The only way it works back to back is if they do a quick DQ where HHH leaves Bryan for dead (of course he would still win the title) and then do the real blowoff at Extreme Rules, but I kinda hate that idea.

Matt D Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 HHH/Taker is going to be faux MMA stuff. You can't tell me that taker doesn't badly want to have that match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think potential benefit for Bryan and HHH opening is that HHH can put a bounty on Bryan's head to prevent Bryan from making it to the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades of 24/7 Hardcore Championship defenses! I want to see D-Bry fight through Bob Holly so he can get a change of boots out of his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I still think the Real Americans and the NAO should trade places, especially if the Tag Team Championship Match ends up on the pre-show. It would be a shame, if the winner of the DVDVR March Madness 2014 doesn't even make it on the main show. Kane and the Outlaws has to be one of the weakest teams the Shield has ever fought.

Joe Fixit Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The Shield match has to be an outright squash with Kane being put through a table. It could be "18 seconds" done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I won't be surprised if the tag titles match doesn't end with the Real Americans taking the pinfall which leads to Cesaro swinging Zeb and Swagger to officially turn face, even though I think the face side is getting a bit too crowded and he's better of as a heel.

Antacular Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wouldn't worry bout Brock/Taker going too long, the way it's been booked so far, I'd expect Brock, his entire family, and probably Fido, to be buried 6 feet deep before the 10:00 mark.

The Natural Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The stage is starting to be constructed Thanks. I always look forward to the presentation aspect of WrestleMania from the new outfits, the look of the stage and the entrances. Going to be tough to top Undertaker's entrance last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 My favorite WrestleMania entrance, besides the fact that I was there live, was Shawn Michaels' white light Undertaker entrance at WrestleMania 25. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lucky bugger watching that classic live! Great contrasting entrances between the two. Have to like your post later as I've reached the limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_W_P Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The Taker v HBK contrast was great. Also loved Taker's entrance with the 'souls of the damned' reaching up and begging. Reminded me of Hades in the Hercules cartoon (in a good way) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 My favourite Undertaker entrance of all time is the one at WrestleMania XIV. The others: XX, XXV and XXIX. L_W_P explains why I like the latter as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Taker's from last year is my favorite just for the fireballs warning us up, because God damn it was cold in the upper deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm thinking we'll either get an MMA like match with The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar as something different than the norm or how recent Undertaker matches at WrestleMania go. You could merge the two. I'm fine with all three but would like to see the first one, Hell's Gate vs. Kimura Lock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Bryan/HHH will be early, I think, to highlight either the "is DB too injured to compete again?" finish or, much less likely, to give HHH time to get his wind back for the title bout. I also see the Shield/Kane & NAO match being very short, unfortunately. Any turns on the card will take place on RAW the next night. please don't let Hogan get the mic, RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
