if you were booking wrestlemania with the current roster what would your card be

[panix04]

Im sooo bored today - sorry i realise im posting all over the shop to aleviate the boredom. I will try and stop if someone just engages me in a bit of banter in the dog pound! I could always bring up sport, that tends to get a good debate going! I know, lets do some fantasy wrestlemania cards just for ships and giggles (see what i did there?) The only rules are that you cant alter who owns the belts and you must use the current roster - which means you include Foley and austin (but not in a wrestling capacity) [B]Batista Vs. Mr Kennedy[/B] - I think they should have built more on Kennedy having Batista's number, Kennedy was really getting over and having Batista beat him really dented his momentum. [B]John Cena Vs. Shawn Michaels[/B] - I actually like this match! [B]Kane Vs Taker - I Quit[/B] - this would be huge, build Kane up as a monster, have him go over Umaga, Khali and anyone else who thinks they are hard and then set it up were the only way to break 'takers 'mania record is to get him to say I Quit. Would be intriging! [B]MITB - Jeff Hardy V Matt Hardy V MVP V CM Punk V RVD V Sabu[/B] - whoever won this would be a new addition to the title race which is always a good thing! [B]Tag team championship - London and Kendrick Vs. Worlds greatest tag team[/B] - 2 very good tag teams, would be a really solid lower card match. [B]Chris Benoit Vs. Edge[/B] - Benoit brings the skill, Edge brings the charisma. [B]Mick Foley V Johnny Nitro w/ Vince Mcmahon guest referee Steve Austin [/B]- the backstory is there and is crying out to be used!

[QUOTE=Undertaker666;214356]How dare you!!! :eek: It wouldn't make any sense at all, Undertaker's never tapped out (if I recall correctly) and he's already beaten Kane twice at Wrestlemania before.[/QUOTE] Im not saying that 'taker would quit, im saying if they could make kane believable as a monster, it would be a really great match. Don't get me wrong i love 'taker as much as the next guy (unless he's you) but i love Kane as well and i think if anyone's gonna beat 'taker it should be Kane, its just about the only ending to the streak that would sit right with me, but then im not a huge undertaker mark like yourself. I guess thats the good thing about being a Foley fan, he lost so often, losing became like winning!

[Undertaker666]

I'm an Undertaker mark? Wish someone would've told me.... ;) I like Kane too and think he should go back to being The Big Red Machine, mask and all, but he shouldn't be beating 'Taker. I'm not even saying that because i'm 'Taker fan either, it just wouldn't make sense because he's had his ass handed to him many times! :D

[QUOTE=Undertaker666;214356]How dare you!!! :eek: It wouldn't make any sense at all, Undertaker's never tapped out (if I recall correctly) and he's already beaten Kane twice at Wrestlemania before.[/QUOTE] Didn't he tap out to Angle? [B][U]Mania Card[/U][/B] [B]Batista vs Undertaker[/B] I think it's a hell of a build and idea. Match will likely suck, but so did Hogan vs Rock and that was amazing anyway. [B]Cena vs Edge[/B] I feel these two deserve a Wrestlemania blow-off to their monster long feud. [B]HBK vs Nitro[/B] If you're going to elevate someone have them steal the show with HBK. Nitro should lose, but look great doing it! [B]Lashley vs Umaga[/B] I like the build to this one too and should be an entertaining brawl. Let's go Umaga! [B]MITB Orton vs Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy vs CM Punk vs RVD vs Gregory Helms vs Booker T vs Mr Kennedy[/B] Jeff Hardy would probably get the nod. Can't have MITB without RVD and Helms deserves a big old push! [B]London and Kendrick vs Worlds Greatest Tag Team[/B] Just cos it would be fun. [B]Benoit vs Finlay[/B] Mmmmm, stiff-fest. [B]Kane vs Khali[/B] I like this too, but more from a car-crash point of view! [B]Orignals vs New Breed[/B] Again, nice way of getting a lot of people on the card and should be a hell of a brawl! [B]Carlito vs Flair[/B] Again, could be a show-stealer!

[Undertaker666]

[QUOTE=TCP1;214361]Didn't he tap out to Angle?[/QUOTE] No he didn't and Angle was the closest to ever get 'Taker to tap out.

[eayragt]

I think that the undercard is much easier to book than the Main Events, due to the lack of real stars currently [B]John Cena vs HBK[/B] - I actually don't like this match, but they are two big draws to sell the show on. [B]Batista vs Chris Beniot[/B] - every time I think of an opponent for Batista I end up thinking that the match would suck. So, I've given him the most talented worker on Smackdown to do up against. Those two alone means there've had to be a different Rumble winner, so I'll go with the obvious HBK for that one. So what to do with the Phenom [B]Undertaker vs Randy Orton[/B] [B]RVD vs Edge[/B] - by now I was having a real problem. So two cross promotional matches with 'Taker and Edge continuing their streaks. Builds up heat between Edge and both 'Taker and Orton. [B]Lashley vs Kane[/B] If you're going to job Kane at WrestleMania, you may as well do it properly. MITB - [B]Carlito vs Umaga vs CM Punk vs Elijah Burke vs MVP vs Ken Kennedy[/B] - nowhere near the quality as previous MITB matches. No logical winner here, so I'll call Carlito. Tag Team Titles unification - [B]MNM vs Hardyz vs London & Kendrick vs TWGTT[/B] - TWGTT to win and go over to Smackdown, to make Tag Titles worth something. Might even restart a Benjamin push. A womens match. A Flair match. Yeah, I ran out of momentum. About when I realsied that I was booking a poor MITB match.

[Undertaker666]

[B]Benoit vs Regal vs Finlay vs Flair *US Title*[/B] - This would be a technical masterpiece in the making! (Regal to get the win) [B]Victoria vs Melina vs Mickie James *Women's Title*[/B] - Three of the Diva's who can wrestle, Melina being the weakest of the three. (Victoria for the win) [B]Undertaker vs HBK[/B] - I was giggling like a schoolboy at the end of the Royal Rumble because it turned into a 1 on 1 match instead of the usual quick finish. They'd both put on a match of legendary proportions. (Undertaker for the win) [B]Eugene vs Cena *WWE Title*[/B] - Newly shaved Eugene goes bat insane (moreso than normal) and turns heel, gives Cena a good whuppin'. (Eugene for the win) [B]The "Great" Khali vs Viscera[/B] - I'd like to see this because i'm curious as to just how bad a match can possibly be! (draw - double KO :p) [B]Lillian Garcia vs Stephanie McMahon *Bra & Panties*[/B] - Hey, I can dream. ;) [B]Jimmy Wang Yang vs Chavo *Cruiserweight Title*[/B] - I don't like Chavo so i'd want him in a match so someone could beat him, who better than Jimmy! (Jimmy Wang Yang for the win) [B]CM Punk & Hardy Boys vs MnM & Greg Helms *TLC*[/B] - Just would be a good match I feel. [B]Kane vs Batista *Heavyweight Title*[/B] - Kane needs a boost and a win over Batista would be HUGE! (Kane for the win) [B]Bobby Lashley vs Hardcore Holly *ECW Title Street Fight*[/B] - Lashley needs to lose that belt, Holly should see how hardcore Lashley really is! (Holly for the win) Can't be bothered to think of any more. :D

[B]Cena vs. Michaels [/B]- Win or lose, Cena can only benefit from being in the ring with Mr. Wrestlemania. This would be my main event, as I'm gradually turning into a Michaels mark. [B]Undertaker vs. Batista[/B] - I've enjoyed the build up to this one - and the way that both men have teased turns has worked better than I expected, especially as Cena and Michaels are doing much the same thing. [B]Edge vs. Orton[/B] - Everyone wants to see these two smack each other around, and having them in MITB is marginalising the other six entrants. Split them off and let them go at it. [B]MITB: Hardys, Kennedy, Super Crazy, CM Punk, Sabu, RVD[/B] - Four bump machines, four more psychological workers. It'd be a hell of a fight. [B]Lashley vs. Umaga[/B] - Although the booking has done neither man any favours, I'm looking forward to seeing them tear each other apart. [B]Kendrick & London vs. WGTT[/B] - These two teams were made for each other. A fast-paced, high-flying match with bags of skill on offer. The antithesis to... [B]Kane vs. Khali[/B] - Keep it short, get it out of the way early, have Kane use the hook on Khali to bust him open inside five minutes. Or make it a street fight (or similar) and just have them pound the **** out of each other. [B]Rey Mysterio vs. HHH[/B] - 110m hurdles [B]Ashley vs. Torrie vs. Maria[/B] - Bra and Panties. Who cares who wins? Myself, I'd have Maria just go out there and wrestle herself, thus guaranteeing happiness for me, but I suppose we should get some Playboy association in there somewhere. [B]Melina vs. Micke vs. Victoria vs. Jillian[/B] - Actual talent in the ring, folks. [B]Chris Benoit vs. MVP vs. Chris Masters[/B] - I'd really only book this to see if Benoit still has it in him to carry two guys at once. [B]Cruiserweight Open: Chavo vs. Helms vs. Moore vs. Nitro vs. Mercury vs. Yang vs. Noble[/B] - Really just to see how many smarks heads we can get to explode when seven men get seven minutes. [B]Cryme Time vs. Deuce & Domino[/B] - Battle of the rookies here, purely to see which silly (but fun) gimmick gets the bigger pop.

I am disappointed in you all for using Lashley, Great Khali and Johnny Nitro in a triple threat promo competition as the main event, where the loser has to kiss Donald Trump's Personal Assistant's friends buttocks which is smothered in butter, and wins the World Hevyweight Championship. This segment is broken up by K-Fed and David Arquette who clean house and cut a 20 minute promo about the importance of using celebrities well and not demeaning the World Title. Also on the card is Hulk Hogan beating Chris Benoit in a squash match in under 30 seconds with the stipulation that the loser signs a contract to say the winner is the best technical wrester in the world. Following the match, The Shockmaster comes to the ring and steals the contract, hence becoming officially the best technical wrestler in the world. You guys really have no idea how to book a PPV, do you? Honestly, my PPV would be; [B]World Heavyweight Title[/B] Chris Benoit def Booker T (c) (not King Booker) [B]WWE Title[/B] John Cena (c) def Randy Orton and Edge The Undertaker def Shawn Michaels [B]Money In The Bank[/B] Ken Kennedy def Shelton Benjamin, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, Kane, Gregory Helms and Sabu [B]United States Title[/B] Paul Burchill def William Regal and Finlay (c) [B]Billionaire Match[/B] Lashley def Umaga (just the publicity) [B]Pipers Pit[/B] Piper interviews Triple H, The Rock comes out and cuts a prmo on them both [B]Loser Gets Fired[/B] Great Khali draws with Chris Masters in under a minute to see both get fired [B]Cruiserweight Title Match[/B] Paul London vs Brian Kendrick vs Chavo Guerrero (c) Not bothered who wins [B]Womens Title[/B] Jillian Hall def Victoria (c) [B]Bra And Panties Match[/B] Lita From 2000 (shut up it's my card, time travel can be used. And yes this is the match I'd use it for, not getting 1987 Flair or 2003 Kurt Angle or 1998 Steve Austin) def Stephanie McMahon (also from 2000) Even with a fairly weak roster I'd buy that 'Mania in an instant. Probably forgotten people but hey, I like what I've done here.

[MightyDavidson]

[QUOTE=Undertaker666;214427]I don't believe a word of it![/QUOTE] Actually he didn't tap out in the Boiler Room Brawl, though he was knocked senseless. That was the match where Paul Bearer turned on him as I recall. Also, Taker did tap out in a match versus Angle though the circumstances caused the ref to declare a draw. As I recall Taker tapped out just as Angle was recieving a three count. However he was using the lame BikerTaker gimmick at the time. As the Dead Man, Taker has never tapped out.

Some pretty cool ideas here. Here's what I can come up with [B][U]WWE TITLE MATCH[/U] John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels[/B] I gotta leave this the same. I love both guys and I've been dreaming of this match ever since Cena beat JBL and became a bonified main eventer. I know Cena's sorta...well, average I guess, but if anyone can pull a classic out of him it's HBK. [B][U]WORLD TITLE MATCH[/U] Batista vs. Edge[/B] After the rumble and knowing that his feud with Cena is wrapped up, Edge makes a surprise jump to Smackdown and takes out Batista with a couple of con-chair-to's. All of February Batista's out, selling the injury and Edge is running around claiming he can beat Batista anytime, anywhere. Beginning of March Batista makes his return taking out Edge. The next week Batista says he wants Edge for Wrestlemania. This way Edge can finally get a decent title run in, cause you know he can't get it on RAW. [B][U]UNITED STATES TITLE MATCH[/U] Chris Benoit vs. William Regal[/B] Why not? Turn Regal heel and let these two go at it for 25 minutes. [B] [U]Money In The Bank[/U] CM Punk vs. King Booker vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Carlito vs. Randy Orton vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Gregory Helms vs. Sabu[/B] I don't really know who would win this but I think it would be a match to remember. And if it HAS to happen: [B]BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES Umaga w/ Vince vs. Bobby Lashley w/ Trump[/B] I actually think this match would be a pretty solid brawl. There needs to be a better stipulation than hair vs. hair. Maybe make it an 'I Quit' Match or 'Last Man Standing'. [B]The Hardy Boyz vs. MNM[/B] Blow off match that is sure to be good. Maybe throw in a stipulation. Although I don't want Wrestlemania to become full of gimmick matches. [B]Undertaker vs. Finlay[/B] I think this would be a good match. Finlay's a solid uppercard guy who could give Taker another credible win at Wrestlemania. [B]INTERPROMOTIONAL MATCH Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy[/B] Kennedy wins, but Flair looks glorious losing. Plus the promo's building up to it are gonna be gold. [B]LEADER OF THE NEW BREED BATTLE ROYAL[/B] Burke vs. Cor Von vs. Thorn vs. Knox vs. Striker vs. Snitsky vs. 3 or so other people. I don't really care who. [B][U]WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH[/U] Mickie James vs. Victoria vs. Melina[/B] I stole this. Not really my idea, but it would be good.......and hot. [B]Kane vs. Great Khali[/B] I'm not a fan of either, I do however like freak shows.

[adamrobertk]

I like the current card and i dont think it can be improved much. The only thing i wish, well i wish edge was involved in the cena match, but then again, i like the idea of HBK's last mania main event. I want 1 last HBK V Taker feud though before taker goes, and i would love to see HBK finish him at survivor series, as a champion.

After reading all of this, I think I like WWE's Wrestlemania.....

[Anubis]

Honestly, I think Randy Orton should end the Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. The history is there, and it'd be a great addition to the "Legend Killer" thing. I thought WWE missed out big time not doing that. Of course, I kinda like Orton's wrestling persona, though I hear he's a jackass in real life. Any which way, with some experience, he could be a top heel for the company and could easily be the Triple H of the next generation.
