Well here we are, the biggest wrestling weekend of the year. Do you have the
Wrestlemania feeling? Well, hard to say for me, the
Wrestlemania feeling for me back in the day was anticipating the biggest of maybe 4
WWE pay per views in the year, and the anticipation and build up went on for months.
Nowadays, there are way too many going on every other week so

Mania has lost that feeling at least, although Mania still does feel like the biggest show of the year. Many factors will go into this Mania to determine if it will be great or shit. Last year, I expected that it would be a
sub par mania, but that everything would be
OK when the rabid Chicago crowd destroyed John
Cena and Triple H beat his ass for the
WWE Title. Well after having to sit through Rey
Mysterio winning the World Title in a match that involved Rey, Kurt Angle, and Randy Orton (Which insulted all wrestling fans
intelligence in my opinion), finally we get to
Cena vs. H. As I had hoped, Chicago

killed
Cena, hated him, the crowd made this match exciting and Mania worthy. Then, suddenly, OVER, Triple H just tapped out to John
Cenas gay monkey humping submission shit. Mania was RUINED. Rey
Mysterio and John
Cena were the highlights? PLEASE!
WWE forced gay shit down our throats, and didn't give a damn what fans wanted.

Now, moving on to this year. Leading up to Mania, we have a situation where 2
WWE legends were left in the royal rumble, and gave everyone a huge eye opener as to how shit should be. I"m talking about Shawn
Michaels and the Undertaker. They went face to face for the first time since 1998 when they were the final 2 in the Royal Rumble. They had a classic encounter the likes of which had not been seen in years. THIS was how it was supposed to be, 2 legit guys who have done shit in wrestling, handling business and fighting it out for the right to go to
WrestleMania. Taker took the win, and has a highly intriguing match with his
WrestleMania streak on the line against the World
Heavyweight Champion Batista. Finally a GOOD
Wrestlemania main event that means something. People are behind Takers 14-0
Wrestlemania streak, and instead of feeding him some bullshit match like last year vs. Mark Henry, we get to see him put his streak on the line against the World Title. I personally hope Taker wins it and keeps the streak going, as he deserves 1 more run on top. Most
Internet fans are not fans of Batista, but hey, he's a big muscled up guy who is a believable match up with the Undertaker, and the match is not predictable at all, so I'm happy.
Now we move on to main event number 2, as the Heartbreak Kid Shawn
Michaels takes on last

years
WrestleMania fuck up, John
Cena. Basically what we have here is
HBK acting as his former self once did, kicking
Cena's face off leading into Mania, and the legendary Shawn
Michaels going for his own final run as
WWE Champion. I gave my opinions on the career of
HBK in my
Definitive Shawn Michaels blog, and now the time is here for him to put on another
Wrestlemania worthy performance like he has done so many times in the past. My 1 hope is regardless of if Shawn wins or loses, i hope he does NOT get the gay ass feeling to want to shake
Cenas hand and "Give him props" for winning (or losing for that matter.) My ideal scenario is for
HBK to win the title, and send
Cena off whining and crying like a little bitch. But knowing
WWE, even if
HBK did by some miracle win the
WWE title, he'll most likely drop it back at Backlash, but hey, a win over
Cena at Mania is better than nothing. Let's hope
Cena beating another guy and shoving his crap down our throats doesn't happen AGAIN, but this IS
WWE.

As far as the rest of the card, the Battle of the
Billionaires seems to have the most hype.
Personally if this match was
Umaga vs. Stone Cold, this would be my most anticipated match. But in another case of shoving shit down our throats,
Lashley will be up against
Umaga as we're forced to cheer for
Lashley, eh, he
doesn't impress me with anything yet. The Trump vs. McMahon scenario thrown into that match is definitely the only selling point. The Money in the Bank ladder match

is always cool, very unpredictable this year, should be a winner. Everything else is pretty standard, but because it's Mania, everything will seem bigger and hopefully will be good. I'm actually more pumped about the Hall of Fame ceremony Saturday night as I usually am every year. I'm a huge fan of guys who were GREAT in wrestling and earned their spot getting recognition. Hopefully Detroit will be even better than Chicago in that they'll cheer the legends, and boo the losers like
Cena outta their damn town! Feel free to share your own thoughts, opinions, and predictions for
WrestleMania 23!
