Was announced last night on RAW. 1 year in advance.

Do they normally announce this stuff so far in advance or is that some type of April Fools joke?

No they usually don't, but its not an april fools joke.

JMO but I thought this was pretty stupid.

 

[Phoenix]

Very weird indeed. Many were expecting this match up to happen, but most likely for Summer Slam. For them to make this the Main Event for next year at Mania is just...bizarre. Unprecedented.

Vince wants to get as much money out of the Rocks return as possible, i'm fully expecting Cena will be walking in as the WWE champ and Rock will be walking out as the WWE champion next year.


Hopefully its not that stupid spinner belt.

I would honestly love if come next year's Mania, they just go April Fools and end the show when the match was about the begin. That'd be so epic :laugh2:

Hope Rock crushes Cena...in Rock's hometown too.

Unfortunately, I do not believe that will happen.

The Rock will be a jobber...and that's why I'm not the least bit excited.

What I would like is The Rock to turn heel. He was hilarious as a heel back in the late 90's. As it stands right now, it's face vs. face, although Cena was getting boo'd out of the arena.

I don't think this is one and done, Rock has always liked to work with not as big stars. I'm feeling Rock wins the title, and runs a program next year until SummerSlam with a wrestler such as Morrison, McIntyre or someone along those lines and he attempts to create another star as he drops the title at SummerSlam to them.

Thats 6 months, 1 match vs Cena and probably 2-3 matches vs the star he intends to create.

the way the show ended last night, I would not be surprised if we did not see the rock until the end of january next year

 

[Cowboy Brian]

If I was booking WM28, i'd gun for.

Cena v. Rock for WWE Championship
Undertaker v. McMahon creator vs creation
Miz v. Morrison WHC.
Orton v. Austin
Money in the Bank
Sin Cara v. Mysterio
HHH v. Bryan
Sheamus v. McIntyre.
Punk v. ?????

as my WM card next year.

Hornswaggle vs Del Rio (dark match)

Hornswaggle vs Del Rio (dark match)

I'd have Hornswoggle squash him.

Thank God you arn't booking. lol

Vince Russo? Is that you?

 

[windward]

I think they do HHH vs Taker 3 next year.

And neither this nor Rock / Cena should be for the strap.

Now what's wrong with the card? If your going to pick on it atleast say why, because WWE brought Rock in for press and nothing will get more press than next WM ending with him holding up the belt.

Taker vs McMahon is a match that will draw and is the perfect storyline ending for Takers career.


Miz v. Morrison w. Morrison as the Rumble winner is the perfect way to catapult him into superstardom as they have the whole former tag team partner thing to play off of.


Sin Cara v. Mysterio is coming, and it'll probably drag on around 6-9 months. Ending the feud at mania will increase buy rates in mexico immensely.

Money in the Bank is needed back on mania, they defiantly relieze that now. It makes it special.


rumors are that Austin is down to do another match, a final match, and a RattleSnake vs Viper match would be a great feud.

Sheamus v. McIntyre would be built as winner is #1 contender for the WWE title coming out of Mania, have McIntyre win and then have The Rock make McIntyre a star over the next few months.

HHH v. Bryan is that you know The Game will be on Mania, and I expect him to start entering the role where he is trying to make stars, Daniel Bryan is the perfect candidate.

and im not sure who to put against Punk, but he'll be on Mania.


There is nothing that is Russo-Esique, every match makes perfect sense and if this exact card was booked for next years Mania it would be immensely better than this years, this year was a huge let down. The card I presented for WM28 is being praised on the wrestling forum I actively post on. The card makes sense, with potentially 3 new stars emerging (McIntyre after feud with WWE champion, MITB winner, Morrison).

Where's the ladder matches?

This was something that was glaringly missing this year. With this Sin Cara guy now involved, you now have many high-flyers that could make up a nice ladder match. Sin Cara, Mysterio, Morrison, Bryan, Edge, Christian, The Corre, etc.
