I haven’t even been able to process NXT yet. That will definitely have to wain until wrestlemania is over.
 
And then we have the greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

I heavily see NXT Takeover New Orleans over Mania 34 alone because of the Time, not just the more interesting Build (Gargano/Ciampa will be Amazing!).
 
Styles/Nakamura, Bryan’s Return to the Ring, Asuka/Charlotte, Balor/Rollins/Miz & maybe the Three Way Tag will likely make WM 34 a Good Show in the End, but definetly not a Great One.  
The Boreman Drains/Lesnar Build is so laughable on every single level it’s not even Funny(unlike the WM 31 tug of War Angle, that was hysterically Funny in Bad Ways), oh Brock is being called Vince’s Boy ironically by the one who is for real Vinnie’s Boy. That insult to my Intelligence alone makes the Build an F in my Book, oh but seeing Drains doing 5000 Stupidman Punches, he kicking out predictably out of 1000 F5s, then doing a Spear & wins LOL makes it somehow Good?! Fck that Match & every Propaganda about it trying to get the failed Experiment Over, by the way we all know Reigns will get Booed out the HOF Event when he’s shown on the Screen(just like Last Year xD), booed out of Mania & rejected massively on RAW after Mania just like the past 3 Years.
 
Bliss/Jax has no interest to their Match buildwise unlike Asuka/Charlotte where People already call it possibly being the Greatest Womens Match at Mania when it happens.
 
Taker/Johnboy will not be Good, alone seeing Taker needing to get Injections in his Legs just so he can compete makes it so Sad to watch & phony desperate attention seeking Johnboy makes it even more Annoying. Taker’s Legacy really gets damaged by this Crap.
 
Rusev needs to Win the 4 Way at Mania or the Crowd will not give a F
ck about the Match, please don’t let the Trasharaja win, Orton shouldn’t win either & Roode I only would like if he turns Heel, then he can Win the US Title in my Opinion.
 
The Mixed Tag Match is not interesting to me personally, but it should definetly be better than the Awful Mixed Tag Match from last year.
 
Those are my honest Feelings. :o

Dillon Spears does make Awesome Covers of Wrestling Themes aswell! His Nakamura, Omega & Scurll Theme Covers are just Fantastic! :)

Honestly AJ Styles vs Nakamura makes sense to me as the main event. Roman vs Undertaker had to go on last (because how do you follow up Undertaker retiring?) but Brock vs Roman is I think best placed where Brock vs Goldburg was last year, following Randy Orton stinkers and comedy matches to start a bit of momentum leading up to the final stretch.
 
That does lead to the question of the opening bout. I guess I’d have to give that to Daniel, Shane and the chuckle brothers.

@Philweasel
 
My guess is it’s going to go something like this:
 
-IC Title match opens
 
-Nia vs Alexa
 
-Segment
 
-New Day vs Usos vs Hammer Time
 
-US Title match
 
-Hall of Fame ceremony and Kid Rock
 
-Daniel Bryan and Shane vs KO Zayn
 
-Roman vs Lesnar
 
-Aj vs Nakamura
 
Last two are interchangeable

@QuasarNova  
Nope, it has been confirmed that Lesnar/Drains will close out Mania 34 , don’t let you tell otherwise.
 
By the way, with Dana White confirming pretty much that Brock goes back to UFC, having his Match against the rejected Experiment closing out Mania will be even more hysterical as it already has been LOL!
 
But yeah, Styles/Nakamura should be for Real the ‘Main Event’, because that’s the Match most Pro Wrestling Fans are looking forward too on Mania besides the Bryan Return Match & maybe the IC & SD Women’s Matches. :o

What, by Bryan Alvarez? He doesn’t actually work for WWE you know, and he posted that on the third. The offical WWE video stating repeatedly that Nakamura is in the main event was published Apr 5.
 
@QuasarNova  
Bit backloaded, but I generally agree. Honestly the card is less important than normal, because in any sane world every one of those matches should be PPV quality.
 
I might actually go wild and put Asuka vs Charlotte as the opening. At the very least put it near the beginning, as I’m wary of placing too many ‘big matches’ close together (as you risk audience burn out).

I haven’t been keeping up with NXT lately, but I would say Ember, Aleister Black, Tommaso Ciampa.
 
The other two are interesting, because Adam Cole is in both. So I sense storyline shenanigans.
 
There’s also the ever looming possibility that some of these people are due for call up’s, so would be losing championships for that purpose.

Oooh, oooh! Actually Reigns vs Brock actually brings up a theory I had earlier!
 
What if Undertaker interferes?
 
He has beef with both, and it would be goddamn hilarious if he turned up to screw one of them, and Cena’s like “Dude, you’ve come to fight me right! Come to answer my challenge?”
 
“No.” Walks away
Philweasel

Right About Everything
Right, lets do this. The ’see how wrong I can be’ contest.
 
André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal – Woken Bray Wyatt. He’s always been a hard worker, and what better way to kick off a revived character than a wrestlemania win?
 
WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal – Bayley. I simply feel like they’re going big on this Sasha/Bayley feud, and I feel Bayley needs a little more momentum going into that.
 
Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali – Cedric Alexander by heel turn. Mustafa Ali pretty much set this up by saying Cedric’s always been ’not quite good enough’, and this time he would have to put everything on the line to get the title. This was basically a big blinking light that Cedric’s finally going to lose his shit at being denied his dreams again, and go total heel to win. Mustafa is a great babyface, Cedric’s a kinda boring one… makes sense.
 
Charlotte Flair © vs. Asuka – Carmella. Because… lols. More seriously, it adds to Asuka’s character by being a giant kick in the balls to her streak, it retains the mystique of Charlotte vs Asuka (as we don’t get a definitive ending), and… who I am kidding, I just think it would be fucking hilarious.
 
Cesaro and Sheamus © vs. Braun Strowman and Elsworth – Braun. This is the mystery partner that makes most sense to me, Braun clearly deserves a win at this point, and Cesaro and Sheamus feel like they need a comeuppance that the ’Curse of Seth Rollins’ has denied them.
 
The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso) © vs. The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and/or Xavier Woods) vs. The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) – Bludgeon Brothers. They need the win to set themselves up as legit, and the others kinda don’t at this point.
 
Alexa Bliss © vs. Nia Jax – Nia Jax. I would book it as a squash, with every dirty trick Alexa tries completely cut off. Alexa is over enough to absorb a squash without the slightest drop in momentum, and Nia kinda needs one.
 
Randy Orton © vs. Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev – Bobby Roode, via heel turn. Rusev also gets a big babyface turn, but Bobby will screw him with… say, a kick in the balls at the crucial moment.
 
The Miz © vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor – Finn, going total heel to do it. The Miz takes the pin and goes part time so he can have some paternity leave, a Seth/Finn feud is set up.
 
Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon – …yeah, Kurt and Ronda. This is a Vince match, where it’s just ten minutes of the faces murdering the authority figures.
 
Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn – Daniel Bryan and Sami Zane. Ok… this is weird and unlikely, but bear with me. Shane will screw Daniel Bryan by walking out on him halfway through the match, leaving Daniel to get absolutely murdered by Kevin and Sami… only for Sami to finally get second thoughts, rally to the defense of Bryan, and turn on Kevin.
 
Brock Lesnar © vs. Roman Reigns – Roman, via interference by Undertaker. Yeah, I’m going there. Taker will turn up to screw with both of them, but Roman will cement his tweener status by taking advantage of the distraction to score a pin. (he won’t have long to celebrate, as Taker will then take him out)
 
Cena vs Undertaker – No Contest.  
They go a bit, but Undertaker will take Cena down and then leave the ring before they even have time to ring the bell. Feud continues on into next year’s Wrestlemania.
 
AJ Styles © vs. Shinsuke Nakamura – AJ Styles. It will be emotional, and both will throw everything they have into the match. It will be proper babyface vs babyface, and both will be encouraging each other throughout. Then, when AJ wins both will shake hands and close out wrestlemania together.

CM Punk said that the Main Event is the Last Match & that’s indeed a Fact. I hate WWE with their Double Main Event/Triple Main Event Crap, you really think they have Styles/Nakamura close out Mania over Vince’s Boy having his millionth Coronation? Just think for Yourself & guess what Vince/Dunn/Corporate want to go with. :o

@Philweasel  
My Predictions for WM 34:
 
Men’s Battle Royal= Don’t care, will watch Styles/Nakamura from Wrestle Kingdom 10 instead

Cedric Alexander vs Mustafa Ali Prediction: Cedric Alexander
 
Alexa Bliss(c) vs Nia Jax Prediction: Alexa Bliss (per Rollup)
 
Charlotte(c) vs Asuka(Waifu~) Prediction: Asuka (Carmella will be drafted to RAW & then Cash-In on the RAW Womens Title)
 
Randy Orton(c) vs Bobby Roode vs Needles Mahal vs Rusev(Daaaaaay!) Prediction: Rusev or Bobby Roode per Heel Turn (his TNA It Factor Heel & NXT Heel Run were pretty Good)
 
Usos(c) vs New Day vs Bludgeon Brothers Prediction: Bludgeon Brothers
 
The Bar(c) vs Braun/? Prediction: Braun/?
 
Miz(c) vs Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor Prediction: Finn Balor
 
Angle/Rousey vs HHH/McScam Prediction: Angle/Rousey
 
Daniel Bryan & Shane vs Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Prediction: Daniel Bryan & Shane (Owens & Zayn will very likely go to RAW)
 
Brock Lesnar(c) vs Boreman Drains Prediction: Middle Fingers given from Me & likely atleast 85% of the Mania Crowd xD :D
 
AJ Styles(c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura Prediction: ……… Shinsuke Nakamura (very hard to predict, but I go with Him)

What metric are we using for that? Personally I’m going to average out 411mania and tjrwrestling (since Meltzer normally takes a while to put his up).
 
…it’s a bit unfair really, as Wrestlemania’s card is like… six hours longer. Plenty more time to drive that average down with Randy Orton filler matches. Still, I’ll take that bet!
 
 
And can I just say that I find all the jokes about Conor Mcgregor having the best go home angle for Wrestlemania, how he’s going to be the winner of the men’s rumble, and how it was one of the best heel turns ever hilarious… even if yes, it’s deplorable douchbaggery, and I feel really sorry for Dana White, Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg.
 
…still, when he gets out of prison I’m sure Vince would love to have him!

Conor acts like a celebrity, Ric Flair was all about acting like a big star back in his days which helped his characters
 
why can’t most wrestlers these days even try to act like a bigger than life celebrity?
