Going on 10 years with WrestleZone
Ok, so this is coming up a bit. WWE may need to pull off some 'external magic' to create the buzz of Wrestlemania. In the past few years, they've had some interesting stuff with the "Battle of the Billionaires," "Money vs Show," and "Hart vs McMahon." Undertaker has been consistent. Cena too. But with 5 months left (plenty of time) talk is already being generated about how WWE will make this year's Wrestlemania a hit.
So I pose these following scenarios to you and ask you to pick which one would MOST pique your interest and the interest of casual wrestling fans around the world to buy the big one.
1. Lesnar vs Undertaker. The seed was planted @ UFC. If legal issues were cleared and Taker was healthy, Lesnar vs Undertaker could be booked like a shoot-fight. Both men know what they are doing. The weights are there. The desire is there. The respect is there. This would be a HUGE ticket item, and the question of whether WWE would allow the MMA-defector to come in and end 'Takers streak would be matched up against whether Lesnar would allow himself to book his return in a loss.
2. Rock vs Cena. Let's assume Rock's new movie bombs. It's been promoted like hell and clearly cost a few bucks. If Dwayne needs a little breat of life, career-wise, why not return to his roots and earn a pay day? And who better to book him against than John Cena? Even babyface vs babyface it would be effective.
3. Austin vs Goldberg. The dream match that we never got to see. Goldberg, in Atlanta, vs the man who stunnered him in his last WWE appearance at Wrestlemania 20. Why not?
4. Sting vs Undertaker. The greatest wrestler to never compete in a WWE Ring, Sting, finally comes for a match against the Deadman. The WWE's franchise player vs WCW's franchise player.
5. Shaq vs Big Show. It almost happened last year. Why not have Big Show - the guy who took on Akebono and Money Mayweather - face off against someone who he doesn't dwarf?
Of these 5 scenarios. which one would you find the most compelling and why?
