Anyone else not feeling the usual pre Wresltemania buzz?

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Poor planning, brehs. I predicted this last fall that this card was leading up to be a mess. The sheets reported it and it seems like they got it right. Seems like a majority of these matches were thrown in at the last minute (The Shield vs. Kane/NAO, the Diva inventational which I still don't know the rule to, and even the Andre battle royal). Even HHH/Bryan wasn't originally going to happen.

Yea it feels like they've been phoning it in on the build up to these last 2 Mania's compared to other years. I'll probably end up skimming through it on Monday before Raw starts.

Game Of Thrones premier on Sunday tho :whew:

People though this about all of them since 26, but it's true this time. On paper, the actual card is decent, the buildup itself and creating interest in the matchups has been the wort in recent history though. Like, Brock vs Taker on paper is a great match and probably will be good, they've just made it harder to care with how bad the buildup has been.

People can say what they want about 29, I liked it more than most, but they built up Taker vs Punk, Brock vs HHH, and Cena vs Rock very well. I had no interest in another Cena/Rock match but they managed to make me care a little with stuff like the panel of legends.

When's the last time a whole WM card has had people excited?

I think if people weren't so scarred from the D-Bry fukkery they'd be more excited but I'm looking forward to the event. I'm getting a feeling that Bryan isn't winning on Sunday. HHH doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is just gonna lose on Sunday, let him get the title and just be Heel GM guy. So either Aitch really fukks him up in the match and is injured going into the main event or Aitch will cost him the title during the triple threat.

Cena/Wyatt should be good. I think Cena will do what's best for business. With the run Wyatt has been on and Cena with all those promo's talking about going through him to get to the top means Wyatt should go over.

The Shield match will be more about planting the seeds for a breakup either at Mania or the next night.

I'm excited because they've got options on what they can do. None of these matches feel like an end, which Mania SHOULD feel like, but most of the blowoff matches happen the next month just like with SummerSlam.
