Sting vs. Triple H is the only match I want to see. Not excited for Undertaker vs. Wyatt and Lesnar vs. Reigns because I have no interest in seeing either of those matches. So for Wrestlemania 31 as a whole so far, not really all that excited.

For the most part, yes. I don't think I'm as excited as I was for last year's Wrestlemania, but this one is looking pretty good. Except Wyatt/Taker, not interested in that at all.

Nah not feeling it this year. Feels a lot like WM29 in that the poor main event really brings down the rest of it.
Roman vs. Brock - looks like this year will be for Roman what WM30 was for Bryan. Roman is fine, but he is in no way worthy of the spot he's in. This is clearly Vince's pet project, and he's got too much pride to swallow his mistake. Not that I think Bryan needed to be in the role, but there are so many better choices and there could have been a much better build to this match. Heyman might make the build interesting, but Lesnar and Roman are too similar in character that I really think we're in for a very boring feud in the coming weeks.
Sting vs. HHH - it's a nice fantasy match come to life but a little too late. I feel the older guys need to work with the younger guys so that we can get a nice mix of pace. I think HHH and sting will just be a tad too dry and sluggish.
Rusev vs. Cena - match at fast lane was great but I think we know where it's going. Feels exactly like the Wyatt match last year. I am looking forward to it but I think it's very predictable at this point.
Orton vs. Rollins - I'm sure this will deliver as Randy works well with a good opponent and Rollins rarely has anything short of a great match. The Authority storyline, however, has been a bust for several months now and it really takes out the excitement.
Rhodes vs Goldust - perfect filler match. This wouldn't look so interesting on a better quality card, but as it is I think this feud has a hell of a lot of potential. I am looking forward to where they go with the build and I have no doubt the match will deliver.
Wyatt vs. Taker - Could be a good rub for Wyatt but I think it's more likely a way to give Taker a good send off. The match itself? Considering last year I really have lost faith in Taker's abilities and am hoping he proves me wrong.
Of course, the PPV could throw us a curve ball. Rusev win, Rollins cash in, Brock retaining? But that isn't how things have played out in recent WWE. More likely to be saying 'there's no way it'll be that obvious... Oh it was."

Excited isn't the right word for me. I'll say interested.
On paper, the card looks stale and predictable but I didn't think too much about WrestleMania last year and honestly, I think that will go down in history as one of the best in years. Then again, we might have another WrestleMania XXIX on our hands. Potential for a great show, but wasted in the end. I just hope WWE throws some curveballs our way instead of having WrestleMania turn out exactly like I expect it to.
I'm sold on Lesnar/Reigns because Heyman will be involved and he will automatically turn it into a must-see match by himself. Reigns proved last night that he has gotten better in the ring, but for the next few weeks, he has to show that he can go on the mic. I'm worried that we're going to get an average match with Reigns winning clean and ending the show holding up the title. If that happens, WWE should be prepared for boos to rain down. I don't see any scenario where Lesnar retains here. I'm hoping for a double turn and Reigns aligns with Heyman or Rollins cashes in after the match to win the title when Lesnar lays Reigns out. I'm just hoping for something with this match because it can potentially make or break the event.
I guess Triple H vs. Sting should be interesting. Still don't get why this is being treated like a dream match by everybody. People have wanted to see Undertaker face Sting for years, not Triple H. I think we'll get some nice buildup and a potentially great match.
I don't see the point in Rusev going over Cena again. Sure, Cena will still be protected but Rusev already got his win last night. It may not have been 100% clean, but he made the top dog pass out. I think that's enough. I want to see Cena with the U.S. title so I'm hoping he wins in another hard-fought match that makes Rusev look like a million bucks.
I'm on the fence about Undertaker/Wyatt. The buildup will be fantastic, but it's the match I'm concerned about. At least this year, there's going to be actual chance that Undertaker will lose. But he needs to win. His loss to Lesnar last year should be the only one he ever gets. Wyatt going over is pointless to me.
Bryan will shine in whatever they give him. His chase for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is not over yet, so he will be just fine working someone else next month. Orton/Rollins has a chance to be MOTN, but I hope they get a no-rules stipulation so they can go nuts on each other. Stardust vs. Goldust II should be great as well. Everything else? Eh, doesn't look too hot right now.

I suppose I should be because I'm going, but...no. I'm looking forward to Sting and Trips because it'll be cool. I'm looking forward to Bray and Taker, just to see Taker one last time and I love Wyatt. The Main Event is just horrendous though. Reigns headlining any PPV is a stretch. Wrestlemania 31 will unfortunately be remembered at best as being the largest drop off in quality between years and at worst one of the worst ever. There's 5 weeks, I can't see anything else coming along and really making any kind of measurable difference. Lesnar vs Reigns is genuinely the most yawn-worthy main event in Wrestlemania history. It's not even a match I have the slightest interest in seeing.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but WWE is notorious lately for missing easy stories that write themselves. Bryan's injury, return, and redemptionat Wrestlemania would've been a truly emotional story. It would've been a story worthy of Shawn Michaels, And that's the biggest compliment I can give. that's probably exactly why they didn't do it. On the other hand, Reigns story just reeks of manufactured and contrived. No emotion, no soul, just cold. I'd be rooting for Lesnar.

The only thing I'm looking forward to is Sting competing in a WWE ring.

Even if the entire rest of the card is awful, WM 31 will be remembered in history as Sting's first (and possibly only) match in WWF/E. So there's that. All I hope is for two things... 1) NO Bryan vs. Sheamus match. I saw it in person at WM 28, and I have no interest in seeing it again sitting at home. 2) Hulk Hogan staying far away from competing in a match as possible. Not only is he way too old to do so, I want to still be able to say I saw his last WWE match in person, at SummerSlam 2006.

Yes. yes. Reigns/Lesnar Taker/Wyatt Sting/HHH Cena/Rusev Ziggler/Bryan (hopefully) BNB/Ambrose Rollins/Orton Stardust/Goldust Miz/Mizdow This Mania could be a lot better than last year. And the more I've been thinking about Reigns/Lesnar I think it can be one hell of a feud and match. Just make Reigns look like a monster without having him say idiotic things on the mic. Just have him kick ass and only speak when he has to.

Hell no your move over guy since stone cold is not booked for a match. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if his only role on the show. is to be Roman Regins cheer leader.

Yes I'm excited. Finally some real Giants fighting for the title. I'm tired of the hero story.

I mean I get that he is billed as this juggernaut but he's not really much bigger than Seth Rollins. I only say this because I know how much you dislike the smaller guys and Reigns isn't really a big guy. I'm not trying to start anything.

I'll be able to see it in my own home undisturbed, so that helps...never had pay TV so the chance to see 'The Show of Shows' via the Network has added to 'some' of my excitement...
Ziggler and Bryan interests me the most right now, along with Sting/Triple H...not sure about the rest of the card yet...

somewhat - i'm enjoying a lot going on in the wwe - sting, lesnar, rusev, rhodes brothers feud finally, tag scene is getting a bit more interesting, dean ambrose is developing - but i'm just not transfixed or captivated really by any of it. i won't lose any sleep if i don't watch wrestlemania live.

Of course since it's Wrestlemania, the card maybe a bit weak but there could be some surprises in store.
