Fat Spanish Waiter Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Has there ever been an angle where the Rumble winner lost their WM title shot? Cena "cashed it in" on Orton at No Way Out, won via DQ and then did a triple threat at Mania with Hunter. Orton won that too. Also Hunter lost his in 2002 to Kurt and then won it back.

Big Z Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Show v Mayweather HBK v Flair HBK v Hart - Ironman Hart v Austin Undertaker v HBK 1 - The better one I think. Undertaker v HHH - Mania 17 - My favorite but all 3 can be put on this list. HBK v HHH v Benoit Guerrero v Angle Steamboat v Savage Hogan v Andre Mysterio v JBL - Perfect gimmick/story TLC - Mania 17 Rock v Austin - Mania 19 Rock v Hogan Undertaker v Flair Benoit v Jericho v Angle - Mania 16 Benoit v MVP Jericho v Michaels Evolution v Rock and Sock Feel like there is a lot of older stuff I need to go and rewatch to get a better appreciation. Bulldogs-Dream Team from Mania 2 Savage-Dibiase from Mania 4 Rockers-Twin Towers from Mania 5 Perfect-Owen (Blue Blazer) from Mania 5 Hogan-Warrior from Mania 6 Rockers-Barbarian/Haku from Mania 7 Steiners-Headshrinkers from Mania 9 Bret-Owen From Mania 10 Razor-Shawn Ladder Match from Mania 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Bulldogs-Dream Team is good, but it's only the second best tag match from that show. Were I to do a WrestleMania 30 For 30 list, Tito/JYD-Funks would be at least a nominee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Losing to Edge really stopped Del Rio in his tracks. I was an Edge fan and I really felt.like he should have lost.that one. Plus, he was retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that was only cause they realized it would be Edge's last match and they wanted to do a good send off thing. According to the "30 Years of WrestleMania" podcast interview with Edge, they didn't know it was going to be his last match until the next day at RAW. They knew his neck was bad, but Edge was planning on making it through the ladder match at Extreme Rules the next month and losing the title to Del Rio then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Losing to Edge, then losing the ladder match to Christian, then only winning the WWE title because of Punk having a half hour match with Cena, getting powerbombed by Nash, and Del Rio cashing in, followed by him then losing the belt in his first major defense, added up to really slap a "can't win the big one" tag on Del Rio that I think kinda permanently etched him as an upper mid-card guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think this is correct because the Edge vs. Del Rio ladder match was booked. I think Edge won because a heel was winning the main event (Miz) and because everyone was expecting Del Rio to win. I think it was a "We'll show those dirt sheets!" moment.

Spontaneous Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Something was up with how they wrestled that match, if Edge was in that bad a shape, I don't see how he could have made it through even a tame ladder match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I dunno what's funnier: The blatant wishcasting there, or the theory that they might insert a 3rd person into the title match but they're not sure who it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan beats Hunter, gets the spot in the main seems to be the consensus idea. Fan idea of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonL21 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm guessing Hogan puts Bryan in the main, since the Rock set the precedent that the WrestleMania host has the most power in the company for the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think Bunkhoise Buck should return as Papa Swagger and get mad at Zeb for slapping and bullying his boy. This leads to a Mania tag match of Cesaro/Dutch v. Swagger/Buck. If they give me this, they could change the Orton/Batista match to an iron man match and I would still say its the best Wrestlemania. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
