Official WrestleMania XXVIII Thread: 4/1/2012

almost here fellas. Tonight could be a thing of beauty.

[Mr. K.O]

Here's my ending predictions for each Main Event:

1. Sheamus wins after Bryan takes out Sheamus and the referee by accident in a turnbuckle collision. He then yells at AJ to get the belt as it looks like he's gonna walk away from the match. AJ instead goes up in the apron and slaps Bryan in the face, prompting him to turn around, only to receive a Brogue Kick from a recovered Sheamus.

2. The Undertaker wins after Triple H hit a Pedigree on him, but only got a 2 count. Triple H then starts arguing with Shawn because he thinks it was supposed to be a 3 count. Shawn argues back and that leads to Triple H shoving Shawn into the corner. Undertaker sits up, but Hunter and Shawn don't notice. Shawn looks away from Hunter then hits a SCM on Triple H which leads to him turning around and receiving a Tombstone Piledriver from Undertaker. Shawn counts 2, and then finally a 3 after a hesitation.

3. CM Punk wins after Jericho goes for the Walls, but Punk kicks Jericho into the corner. Punk charges toward Jericho in the corner, but Jericho elbows Punk in the face. Jericho turns around to face the turnbuckle, jumps on the second rope, and connects with a crossbody on Punk. But Punk rolls over and counters it into a thunderous GTS. Punk looks to pin Chris, but Punk instead locks in the Anaconda Vice in full force. Chris tries to escape, but then slowly taps out, allowing Punk to retain his championship.

4. John Cena wins after a back and forth match, Rock hits another Rock Bottom. He goes for the cover but only gets a 2 count. Rock picks up Cena to deliver another Rock Bottom, but Cena counters it into an AA. Cena goes for the cover and also gets a 2 count. Cena picks up Rock, but Rock delivers a Spinevuster to Cena in the middle of the ring. Rock goes for the People's Elbow, but when Rock runs the ropes one more time, Cena catches him and locks in the STF. After a long fight and struggle, Rock has no choice but to tap out.

So watcha guys think? Feedback would be appreciated

This is either going to be terrible or amazing which is why I can't decide if I want to order it. If I wasn't burned by the last 3 mania's and Rumbles I'd probably gamble and order it, but $60 is a lot to throw down for what might be trash.

Personally I see WrestleMania 28 being better than those six PPVs combined.

You actually bought last years mania, and aren't sure to buy this one?

Nothing excited me last year.

Brock Lesnar is at Wrestlemania tonight to announce his return.He's going to screw either John Cena or The Rock he's had feuds with both of them.He's going to make an F5 Impact we shall see

[bioniccommando]

[Barrett]

Nothing would please me more than to watch The Rock tap out tonight.

[Mallrat]

Its 93 its time for Wrestlemania .... Wooooahhh Wooooooahh Wrestlemaniaaaa

[Irish Wrestling Entertainment]

No matter what happens in the Sheamus match, I'll be wrapped up in my 5 Sheamus shirts, my Sheamus hoodie, an Ireland flag, a pair of Irish Rugby trouser pants and my four leaf clover boxer shorts.

Oh, by the way, I really want Sheamus to win.

Back to my point, they better not break up AJ/Daniel Bryan. Using AJ the way he has brings a whole new dimension to DB's character. They are a great pairing.

if lesnar shows up I am going to freak out

Outside of Cena/Rock, the build for these matches have been terrible. Same as last years, but I went in thinking Edge/Del Rio and Rhodes/Mysterio would be great and while they were good at times they are forgettable.

No different this year. The card has the makings for something great, but will it be? It's a gamble.

[Deleted]

I will definitely miss Barrett, Christian, and Del Rio. But man I am absolutely PUMPED for Mania this year! And if you're not, you might just be blind....that's not an opinion, its science.

He might be the one to end Taker's career tonight but Shawn Michaels is already in there so probably not I see him more interfering the Rock/Cena match.Lesnar signed a limited 1 year contract.He could just F5 the crapout of everbody and I'd be happy with that lol

The build has been pretty bad, but in terms of matches, its not even close.

Jericho/Punk alone blows everything (other than Triple H/Undertaker) from last year out of the water. And speaking of them, the HIAC match is going to be excellent.

Edge/Del Rio and Rhodes/Mysterio looked like good matches, but neither really felt like WM epics.

While the builds have been meh, that wont effect how good the matches are tonight.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry but if the 4 main events alone don't make you want to order the PPV than I don't know what will.

Anyways, a bit over 3 hours to go!!!

[wabarrett]

This year's card blows last year's out of the water based on the fact that

1. Sheamus/ Bryan was bumped off the main show last year.
2. This year the Undertaker/ Triple H match is inside the Cell.
3. Miz isn't in the Main Event and Cena isn't in a Title match.
4. The two best wrestlers in the world are in the WWE Title match.
5. There isn't a match between two commentators.
6. Snooki isn't 'wrestling'.

Last year had great matches in Orton/ Punk, Triple H/ Undertaker, Rhodes/ Mysterio and Del Rio/ Edge was good too, but the other matches and segments let it down hugely.
