By Dustin Gonzalez So, we are all wait with baited breathe for what the magnificent Paul Heyman is going to do with the added stipulation in the WWE Championship match. Something, I saw mentioned on Bleacher Report and NODQ.com was that Brock Lesnar could be coming up with a babyface turn for a little while. As this would upset me, I can see it happening this way. We know The Shield won’t be able to interfere after going through what is anticipated to be probably the second best match of the night (falling short only to the WWE Championship) I see a Brock Lesnar not scheduled to wrestle make an appearance during the night sometime and have words with Paul Heyman. Punk would not approve of this and objects to the private meeting. Paul would have him calm down and excuse them. Punk would leave pissed off. During the match, Rock could be losing for an unforeseen amount of time, perhaps very heated back and forth between “Champ” and “The Best in the World”, then Brocks music hits, he comes out to get a better view. Rock throughs CM Punk to the outside and Brock takes his turn going after him. Throws him back in the ring and Rock realizes he know has a friend. Heyman furious with this confront Lesnar. Lesnar disregards the one time friend/manager and tells former CEO and COO of ECW “its me or him? Either I will be champion."

By Rick Velazquez WrestleMania has cemented many traditions and create plenty of memorable moments that have been forever immortalized. These traditions are great and make WrestleMania the spectacle that it is. However, WWE has a reputation for abandoning long term traditions for reasons that don’t seem to be logical at all. For example, the very popular Money in the Bank Ladder Match was a concept first instituted at WrestleMania 21 back in 2005. This established tradition would continue up until its retirement at WrestleMania 26 in 2010, before becoming its own yearly pay-per-view event. This annual match handed a golden opportunity to superstars who may not have had a match, had it not been for the MITB match. Careers sprouted to outstanding heights as a result, elevating superstars like Edge, CM Punk, and Rob Van Dam to new levels. It also created many astonishing moments that are often revisited in video packages and DVDs. This allowed superstars like Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, and Christian a chance to shine under the bright lights. In 2010, the saga of matches held at the “Grandest Stage of Them All” was concluded, with the final winner being Jack Swagger. Many fans were disappointed and appalled by this decision to disband such a beloved and popular tradition. The Money in the Bank pay-per-view has been great since its upbringing in 2010 and has received positive receptions by the fans. But those two matches per event don’t hold the same prestige a single inter-promotional MITB at Mania would have. Some may say the MITB became as much of a crucial part of WrestleMania as The Undertaker, which brings me to my next point. Rumors are roaming around the internet that The Undertaker might miss WrestleMania 29 this year. The Undertaker has embodied WrestleMania, and his 20-0 streak has become one of the biggest attractions in all of sports entertainment. A WrestleMania without The Undertaker would perhaps give people a lack of interest in purchasing the event because of his absence. The Rock engages in a verbal exchange with CM Punk. Decent opening segment featuring Big Show and Chris Jericho. I liked how Show came off much more aggressive than he has in recent weeks, which is when he is at his best. The buffoon that he is made to look like at times really hurts his character, so this was a nice way to regain that last momentum from last week. Jericho also played his role well here and I appreciated the fact that they both mentioned they have history with one another in Jeri-Show. Solid match between Randy Orton and Mark Henry. I enjoyed this match a bit more than their confrontation from last week, as they kept things interesting throughout. I'm content with Orton disqualifying himself against Henry because it allows him to lose without getting pinned clean for the second week in a row. Henry's post-match assault on The Viper was a great way to continue his recent dominating ways. Throwaway match between Tamina Snuka and Layla. The timing was off in most of their moves and their styles didn't seem to mesh at all this time around. They've had fine matchups together in the past, so I just found it strange they underperformed here. This was the only televised build they've had for the Divas Championship match at Elimination Chamber, but why couldn't Divas Champion Kaitlyn have been at ringside for this contest? Strong promo between WWE Champion The Rock and CM Punk. Rock was straight forward, kept the comedy to a minimum and delivered his lines with passion. Furthermore, Punk was equally as excellent with his promo and made the added stipulation to their WWE title match on Sunday feel important. This was way better than their confrontation on Monday's Raw, so it was good to see them end the build to this feud on a high note going into Elimination Chamber. By Graham "GSM" Matthews Effective opening segment featuring Huk Hogan and Sting. While the delivery of their respective promos wasn't all that exciting, the announcements certainly packed a punch. They established that matches would be held throughout the night to find a new number one contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Lockdown. Not only that, but Sting foreshadowed a potential multi-man match at the event as well. Good match with Magnus defeating Christopher Daniels. Their styles meshed well together and Kazarian made for an entertaining addition at ringside. The England crowd absolutely adored Magnus, so it was great to see him pick up the victory here. Although the bout was only a mere five minutes and definitely could have gone longer, I enjoyed it whilie it lasted. |
