I like the matches but I can tell every outcome will be the opposite of what I'd want. Bryan will lose, Rock will lose, Kane will lose.
But at least it will beat last year by default because it was so lame last year.
I can't figure out who will win the GM match though. Will they really loose Johnny as a character? I can really see him winning it with Teddy being there like when Vickie was GM. But for some reason I think all faces win a Wrestlemania and that never happens.

Here's some patented fantasy booking for ya.
Randy Orton vs. Kane I'm sticking with my opinion that I think this match will fare best if it goes on first. Get that crowd pumped by sending out the Viper. Part of me wouldn't be surprised if they held this off until later simply because Kane's entrance might look cooler in the dark. But eff that noise. Give it around 10 minutes and Orton reverses a chokeslam into an RKO for the win.
Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos vs. Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix Kelly plays the role of face-in-peril until Maria gets the hot tag. Both heels are in the ring attempting to thwart that plan until Kelly pops back up to toss one of them outside while Maria rolls up the other for the win. I'll be more generous than the WWE and give the match 5 minutes.
World Heavyweight Championship: Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus I think a lot of people are expecting this to go on first simply because Edge/Del Rio opened last year's show. I don't think there's any reason to do that again. Literally any of the undercard matches could open the show and get the crowd pumped up. (Eh, on second thought, maybe not Rhodes/Show.) It just rubs me the wrong way for a World title match to go on first at WM. Any other show and I'm fine with it, though. Back to this match. I like the scenario a friend brought up where Bryan coaxes AJ into almost getting involved. Sheamus goes for the Brogue Kick but Bryan dodges it and it hits AJ. Sheamus, concerned about the fallen gal, takes his eyes off the prize for a second and Bryan picks up the win. I'd give it 15 minutes.
Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show This is the match I'm least looking forward to, though I don't really have any issue with either guy. I really don't want to see Rhodes drop the title, especially to a guy like Show who doesn't need it. But that's the way the story has been building so far. I think if any match on the card gets the uber-quick treatment, it'll be this one. Cody could berate Big Show before the match, just like he's done for weeks now. The bell rings and Show immediately hits him with the WMD and that's all she wrote. After weeks of trash talking Big Show, Cody is the one who ends up looking like a fool. I actually wouldn't mind that. I wasn't looking forward to Rey/JBL at WM25 either, so I liked that it only lasted a few seconds. I wouldn't hate it if they chose that route, but I do think Cody deserves better. Originally I booked this match to be 7 minutes, but I'm kinda liking this idea so I'll give it 10 seconds. You can hate me now. Oh, and Show drops the title to Otunga the next night on Raw.
Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy Now that we know all of the participants, I'm not as pumped for this match as I was initially. Teddy's team looks like such a joke. If Ryder were to pick up the win, I suppose that could be a feel good moment, but I really don't think Teddy's team should win. If they want this match to be good, then they're going to have to give it some time so that everyone can play their part and not just hit their finishers like last year's eight man tag. So I'm booking this to have 20 minutes and Team Johnny going over, preferably with either Otunga, Miz, or Ziggler picking up the win.
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho This PPV is a bitch to try to book, so screw the idea of down time between main events. I'm booking this WM19 style with main event after main event from here on out. The way this feud has been building, I'll be shocked if Punk loses the title. And since I cut so much time from the IC Title match, I'll paste some of it here. It all works out in the end. Punk picks up the win after 20 minutes.
Hell in a Cell Match: Undertaker vs. Triple H special guest referee: Shawn Michaels I don't even want to try to fantasy book this match because I know whatever they come up with will be 10x better. Undertaker picks up the win (obvi) after 25 minutes. The longest match of the night and rightfully so. Oh what the hell: at some point they take the fight outside of the cell for good measure. I don't see any of these guys taking a big bump, though, so I'll say that they won't climb up top.
John Cena vs. The Rock Both men are getting live performance entrances, so that's gonna eat up at least 10 minutes. Then with ring introductions, stare down, and addressing the crowd with their gazes, add another 3 minutes at least. Not to mention the video package before all of that. So I'm giving 20 minutes for the match itself. I've been pulling for Cena for the past year and I'm not going to back out on that now. I still think that it is the most logical reason by far. However, there is an interesting story to be told if Cena can't win the big one. If he lets down an entire "generation" of wrestlers. Like he's been saying, he has to win it for all of them. Imagine, kayfabe-wise, having to then show up to work the next day. That story could be pretty compelling, I'll give The Rock's fans that. But that is the only reason Rock should go over and if they don't handle it well (and history has shown they have failed in more big-time storylines than have succeeded), they just crapped on 10 years worth of superstars in one fell swoop. But I don't think we have to worry about that. I don't think anyone involved thinks that would be the best idea for business. I'll be watching WM with family and I want the bragging rights that will come with a Cena win, because I'm one of the only ones pulling for him. To conclude this ramble-a-thon, Cena wins and there is no rematch. Not Summerslam. Not WM29. Not ever. Wrestlemania ends with Cena soaking in the presumably negative reaction from the crowd. With a smile on his face, he holds up a (presumably brand spankin' new) Rise Above Hate t-shirt as the show fades to black.

Watching WrestleMania 22, 26 and 27 before Sunday as these are the only 3 I own. Might buy 24 and 17 before Sunday though.
Edit: Man, WrestleMania 26 was kind of awesome.

I thought WM26 had a great card and on paper looked like it would be the best all around show since WMX7, but it didn't live up to its potential IMO. Not a bad show, but not as memorable as it should've been. Loved the giant ass pyramid set, though.

But, IMO it just wasn't all out great. I think instead of having HBK vs Taker II and Batista vs Cena, they should have done Cena vs Taker and HBK vs Triple H.

Had a dream 2 days ago that I missed WM. My friend ordered it at his house and for some reason I kept stalling and stalling to go over and eventually just missed the whole event.
Literally from the moment I awoke from that dream, I've been ridiculously excited for WM. Like "9 years old, waiting for WM 17" excited" which is odd because up to then I wasn't really excited at all and haven't been legit excited over a WM in about 3 years. Either way cannot WAIT until Sunday. I'm blowing multiple things off to have that entire day, morning to night cleared just for WM.

I still think Cody Rhodes vs Big Show is the hardest to call on the whole Show.
With Undertaker, Orton, Team Johnny, Sheamus, CM Punk and Kelly/Maria all pretty much certs to win, it leaves Team Johnny the only Heel to win at Mania, which is even more reason to why Cody should be winning. But the way this build has gone it's only leading to one thing and that's Big Show winning quick.

Haven't ordered a PPV since 2009 and haven't been this excited about seeing an event since I was kid, really pumped and it is because of Rock/Cena as I wouldn't be ordering the event if it wasn't for them.
