Worst Road to WrestleMania in years...
Lesnar vs. Reigns (Main Event feud with Lesnar being absent most of the time and Reigns being far from accepted)
Sting vs. HHH (Main Event feud with Sting being absent most of the time and HHH being part of too many other stories)
Undertaker vs. Wyatt (Main Event feud with Undertaker being absent all of the time)
Rollins vs. Orton (Orton is not the "smartest" superstar in history, so him undermining Authority is crap... he should have lashed out at Rollins yesterday)
Bryan vs. Sheamus (we're 5 weeks away from WM and Bryan doesn't have a feud or an opponent; he's the most over superstar in years, yet doesn't do a thing except kiss Reign's ass to get him over)
Ziggler vs. Barrett vs. Ambrose vs. Truth (The worst booked IC champion in years vs. everyone who can beat him... why not include Sin Cara as well^^)
Stardust vs. Goldust (this could potentially be great; then again, it undercard stuff at best)
AtG Memorial Battle Royal
Except for the Battle Royal, the card looks strong on paper ImO. But 5 weeks away from WM they have managed to include a part-time wrestler in all of the Main Event feuds, making them boring in a way...
110% agree. The problem is they have screwed up the card so bad they have no choice but to ride it out. And the problem is the matches are kinda screwed up.
For instance:
If Wyatt wins, it doesn't develop his character and leaves him stuck
If Wyatt loses, hes buried by a no longer wrestling HoF'er
If Reigns win, hes Boo'd and will have to become Heel.
If Reigns loses, hes Boo'd and can continue as a Face, believe that.
Bryan vs Sheamus can only really be used to try and put Sheamus over as Bryan is already arguably the most popular Superstar.
Ziggler and Ambrose are screwed because of booking. Ambrose is stuck in mid card hell, and Reigns took all of Ziggler's momentum.
Rollins vs Orton could IMO be the best match of the evening. Both are exciting and pretty technical. I would imagine we will see a Rollins highlight reel from the top rope with Orton ultimately getting revenge, as Rollins won't be able to beat Face Orton.
Sting vs HHH is a match 5 years too late. Both well past their primes. I guess for nostalgia its ok. But HHH as nothing to gain, and Sting also has nothing to gain other than saying he wrestled at Wrestlemania. I imagine some stupid gimmick with power will be used.
Gold vs Star is good on paper. But people don't get behind them. I think Cody has real talent and plays the Stardust persona extremely well. Alas he has no choice but to lose so Golddust can "save" him.
You seem to also forget Rusev vs Cena in a submission match most likely. So LOLCENAWINS gets his belt and allows Rusev to go on to the upper tier.
And you still got the Uso, Cesaro / TK, Miz / Mizdow meltdown match. A 30 second Divas match thrown in, along with some Jobbers. Gotta get Kane / Show, Ryback / Rowan. Its just too much garbage.
