The Official Wrestlemania XXVI Thread

This Mania is shaping up to be AWESOME. I am really excited to see how this plays out for the next 5 weeks. I hope that HHH's neck injury is not serious and he is able to be back next week. It is time to start building whatever feud it is he has for Mania.

Kinda split this guys, I did this so Y2J's post is first. Hope you don't mind CJ.

^^ I don't care. My Mania thread was not that cool and kind of premature anyway. We might as well just lock it as far as I am concrened.

Just about ready to call this the most epic Wrestlemania ever. Might be a big call but the potential is definitely there. Shawn vs Taker, I really wasn't a fan of them doing a rematch in the first place but this is definitely one of the biggest stakes ever in a match. Will be history one way or another. Edge vs Jericho is going to be awesome obviously. Already has had an amazing build, just can't go wrong with those 2. The promos have been great so far and will only get better. And the match will be smooth and great, just have to hope the crowd gets into it, which I'm sure they will. And Cena vs Batista, finally the rematch. Very different from back in 2008 though, we have the classic Heel vs Face type of program now. And it's working great, Batista has been doing awesome with it honestly. And both of them are great at bringing emotion out in a crowd, should be a classic, just like everything else announced so far. Going to be sweet.

If you want man, Your call. I did it because it was Premature as well.

Some fans say this event has the potential of matching WrestleMania X-Seven.

I do not get how people can rank WM X-Seven over WM XX though, I think it has the potential to be up there with WM XX to be honest and I think it will surpass WM X-Seven. Hell, WM 21 Surpassed WM X-Seven.

WM 17 was awesome, but WM 20 was great from start to finish. Eddie vs. Angle, Evolution vs. Rock and Sock, Taker returns to face Kane, and Beniot vs. HHH vs. HBK was probably the best Triple Threat in WWE history.

I'm more interested in the MITB match. I wanna see a face finally win one. Cena has won every title match he has had at WM. I'm sold on the fact that HBK will win career vs Streak. I know I'm the underdog here but I pulling for him can't see them letting Taker go his whole career winning those he's already going to the hall of Fame first ballot. His record is already unbreakable and HBK needs this to further cement his legecy as Mr. Wrestlemania.

Cena lost at Mania 24. So that's wrong. And RVD and Punk both won the MITB match when they were face. Cashed it in when they were still playing the face role too. Try again.

I forgot his first time he cashed in on edge. But the RVD thing was so long ago. I mean Cena 1 on 1s WM24 was a triple threat match.

*Awards Respect points* ... Wish we had that system.

And yeah, When Punk won he was face both times.

Sorry for double post, But you should add Kane, Dolph Ziggler, and Shelton Benjamin to the MITB match. I just gotta feeling

Well, Punk winning it the last 2 years as a face is more recent. But more often than not, a face has won the match, rather than a heel. So kind of makes your point void. And Cena still did lose that title match, actually took the fall as well. But point taken as far as his 1 on 1 title matches at Mania go.

OK, here are the MITB winners so far. WM 21 Edge, WM 22 RVD, WM 23, Kennedy, WM 24 and 25 face Punk. That makes 2 heel and 3 face wins in the MITB. I fully expect to see either Christian or Morrison win this year. There have been rumors that Morrison is about to turn and there have been little hints of that on TV. Who knows if he will be face or heel at WM.

*Updated* Added Kane, Dolph, and Benjamin to the Money in the Bank match.

Number 5 for Shelton and he still won't win. Sucks for him.

Shelton will put on a great show, but he still will not win. I think the reason he does not get a big push with WWE is his mic skills are not very good. He needs a charisma by-pass.

I have to argue about RVD being considered a face during this time since he was being managed by paulie at this time and a lot of cheating was going on. He actually cashed in against Cena and won due to cheat. Can we really say he was a face at this time. Especially since he held some kind of contempt against WWE in general for not recognizing ECW.

Was still a face at the time though. Was getting cheered before and after he won the title. And it was an Extreme Rules match, so can't really say it was cheating. He was a tweener at the most but was definitely leaning more towards the face side. Was definitely a face at the time he won the briefcase in the first place though.

That is ridiculous. RVD was not managed by Paul Heyman when he won the Money In The Bank.

Also, RVD was 100% face. Heyman counted the fall due to a Referee being taken out. Cena was the heel in this match and in the feud to be honest. There was no Heel element to R.V.D what so ever.

Cena was only a heel because of the way the fans treated him in the Hammerstien Ball Room. Cena did nothing or said nothing differently. The only thing Paul Heyman had to do with that match was to count the pin fall, but he did turn on the ECW Orginals, on the new ECW.

*Updated* Money in the Bank particapants added and Bret vs. Vince added to the card.

The WM card gets better and better each week. I think that you can add Sheamus vs. HHH very soon and I can't wait for WM.
