All Future Wrestlemania Discussion (Matches, Gimmicks, Angles.... KEEP IT IN HERE!)

[DASHING POUNCE]

It's never going to happen. Reading this actually gave me a headache. Every superstar who retires isn't like Ric Flair, you do know that, right? Edge will NEVER wrestle again and i doubt Shawn Michaels will as well. Did you think Edge was joking around when he said if he took one more bad fall, he could seriously be more messed up then he already is? The match is truly a dream match.

 

[Last Outlaw]

For the record, Taker is my favorite wrestler ever tied with the Rock and I do believe nobody deserves to end the streak but that's not how the Undertaker thinks.

When the right time will come, a young stud needing that big win to be put over, Taker will go for it. He's not as egotistical as some think and he knows to put the business ahead of anything else. The streak is a huge draw for WM and he knows it.

He's offered Kane to end the streak years ago and he offered Angle to end the streak at WM 22 (instead, they had that match at NWO). Taker wants the streak to end but it has to be a right moment because wasting it on a has been star like HHH, Kane etc won't benefit the business at all. It has to be a guy who's on the verge of superstardom and will actually benefit a great deal from ending it. I also think Taker's the type of guy who would probably want someone to end it just for the sake of it.

my god, if I see the phrase PG on this site again, I am going to fucking lose my god damn mind. Let it go already, how about we just say "era vs era'. The PG ERA is not a fucking era, it is just a term fucking fanboy douchebags have attached to it. ARGH!

 

[CMSawall]

I have only read the original post. I was thinking something along those lines too, but it dont have to be a 5 on 5 I was thinking more like 3 on 3 cause I know current stars that are being compared to attitude stars so why not do the challenge that way?

I see: Orton as Stone Cold, Cena as Rock, and Punk as Jericho
so why not have

Orton, Cena, Punk
Vs
Austin, Rock, Jericho


????
((((PPPPPPSSSSSS: I know this modern day orton is crap compaired to what he used to be, but still))))

 

[King of the Words]

Hopefully, Mania 30 will be in Cowboy stadium. This would give the perfect backdrop for Austin to have one more match. At this point it would look like C.M. Punk, for sure, but by then who knows. I am still holding out a little hope that Hogan returns to the WWE by then and has one final match of his own. Against Austin. This is a match that should have happened 10 years ago but never materialized. I know they are both past there prime and would probably have a lame match, but I would still love to see the 2 biggest names in WWF/WWE history to do battle on the grandest stage of them all. Make it a Texas Street Fight or something, so they don't have to do too much technical stuff in the ring. Have Austin win, in the end. Then they both celebrate with a few beers and a pose down. This would be a great cap off to 2 great careers. But, this would only be one half of a double or triple main event card, so there would be other high profile matches to keep building today's stars, too.

 

[BigLeoDGreat74]

I agree this thread is totally unecesary. This will never happen.

 

[Headman]

Is this another one of those threads where people who can't let the attitude era come up with ways to have a bunch of old farts show up the current generation of wrestlers? It sure seems like one of those threads. How about this idea, faze out the attitude guys who are all in their 40's and 50's and will be even older by WM 30. The fans can either give the new guys a chance or quit watching. The way this is headed it's going to be WM 50 and old farts who were popping zits in the 90's will be pitching ideas to put the Attitude era over again.

 

[thebarber]

1. What do you think of the idea for this match

I think it would be a silly idea. How anybody could honestly suspend belief and think a near 50 odd year olds team of Austin, Rock etc could compete with guys in their prime like Orton, Cena etc, it is simply not believable, even for sports entertainment. I have no issue with Austin having one more match, and with Rock stating he will be competing at next years Mania as well, it could possibly be a long awaited rematch with Cena or hell, Austin vs Rock IV, Austin may have had that loss eating at hiom for 10 years, who knows what story they would concot for it.

 

[Soulblazed]

I'm an American but I fully support Wrestlemania being held on another continent..Besides England and Germany which have already been mentioned, let's consider a few more options...Putting Wrestlemania 30 in Auckland, New Zealand, Johannesburg, South Africa, Sydney, Australia, Mumbai, India, Singapore or even in Beijing, China could all potentially be great if done right..

Let's get past the bitching about timezones and realize the obvious..That in order for WWE to truly branch out, it has to take the biggest gamble of all.Holding Wrestlemania on another continent..Because as some non-American posters have already said, it'd be great revenue and create future business opportunities for more PPVs in other countries as well

 

[I am Mr. Excitement]

So u know Rany Orton is one of the top three faces in the wwe right now. If i can recall i dont remember ever seeing Orton headlining Wrestlemania besides WrestleMania 25 with Triple H. I think Randy needs to headline Mania in the next few years because he's grown to a top faces in the last two years of his career. When i say headline i mean like Wrestlemania X8 for example The Rock vs Huk Hogan, WrestleMania 26 HBK vs Undertaker II, and of course this year's WrestleMania 28 The Rock vs John Cena. I could see Randy headlining against maybe Stone Cold even though people would love to see him and CM Punk in the near future at WrestleMania. But imo it might just be Randy Orton beating John Cena at WrestleMania 29, 20, etc..I'm not saying hes not good now but for him to beat Cena at a future WrestleMania would be big for him!

Thoughts, Opinions, Discuss

 

[Deadlysyns]

My thoughts are Orton is too accident prone for a match at Wrestlemania its not his fault but Vince doesn't want to risk making Orton to big just to have him get a serious injury

 

[Mr.Wrestlemania]

Personally, I think Orton's gimmick is stale...but if he does come back, it might be in some sort of match against Wade Barrett to end there differences and such.

If he doesn't, I won't notice his absence with all the matches WWE is building up for Wrestlemania.

 

[xoxo French Kiss xoxo]

Triple H defeated Randy Orton at WrestleMania XXV in the main event,

Triple H vs Randy Orton vs John Cena was on the card at WrestleMania XXIV

So ummm yeah he's already been in the main event at WrestleMania several times.

 

[Godfather81]

so here are my thoughts on randy orton at wrestlemania rather the guy is face or heel he gets the job done i see him in the match with sheamus and daniel brian as daniel brian took out orton so this makes sense putting orton in the match for the world title and maybe put wade barret in there too thats what i think is going to happen

 

[theBusiness]

I can definitely see Orton vs Cena headlining WrestleMania in the next year or two. I know their feud has been done before in the past but now they are two most established stars in the business. They've also never done a face vs face feud together. Could be very reminiscent of Austin vs Rock at WM17. Another WM main event I could see is a triple threat with Orton, Cena, and Punk. The Austin-Rock-HHH of this generation. If Taker doesn't wrestle at next years Mania (presumably against Cena) then I can see the two main events being Orton-Cena and Punk-Bryan.

Ill go ahead and quote myself because at WrestleMania 22 we saw Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton as part of the double main event.

Orton has been in the Main Event at WM Spot, and had some pretty solid outings during those matches.

 

[OneTooManyPunts]

I'm sure that Orton has quite a few Wrestlemania main events in his future. The biggest problem facing him right now, is that WWE is trying to invest in newer talent, to better strengthen the depths of the Smackdown roster, and Wrestlemania is great showcase for that. Yes, Orton could be inserted into the World Heavyweight Title picture for WM this year, but it would most likely put him into the role of enhancement talent, and he is simply too good, and too over for that. Working with Kane gives him a clearly defined, well established heel to feud with, and a WM victory that will please his fans, and sell lots of Orton merchandise.

Also, there is just no getting around the fact that Orton is the number two guy to John Cena. It has always been that way, and until Cena either retires or turns heel (probably never happening), he'll never be THAT guy. Yes they are on different brands as of now, but given what I've stated above, along with Cena's grip on the WM main even picture each year, he is in a bit of a vice.

But all that said, Orton is really at the top of his game, and one of the most over talents in the WWE. A heel turn, brand switch, or just perfect feud could put him in a WM main event in a heart beat.

Orton is not around enough to be the Number 2 as much as i like Randy the fact remains he is too accident prone. CM punk is Number 2 right now. Just because he is not the face of Smackdown doesn't make him the number 2 guy. Randy might have a future at WM but i doubt his career will be long lived with all the Injuries he suffers. I believe that Vince has seen this and is trying to get a person up there to replace Randy should the career ending Injury come. We all know its possible and Vince needs to build someone up to take Randy's place. Now i am a huge Randy Orton fan always have been but his long term career is to precarious for Vince to keep investing in him.

 

[OneTooManyPunts]

I see your point, and agree with much of what you said. However, if we are talking about Orton headlining a Wrestlemania, than we aren't talking about a long term investment necessarily. Vince may be wary of Orton for the long haul, but I have no doubt he would use him in a Wrestlemania main event if he new it would draw PPV buys. Neither Rock, or Jericho, are bringing Vince any long term investment or sustainable future after their respective matches at WM, but their involvement assures more PPV buys and interest.

With Orton as popular as he is, he is quite capable of helping generate both PPV buys and interest. A lot will depend on just how well either Sheamus or Bryan does as champ post Wrestlemania too. If either is seen as a failure heading in to the summer, Vince will slap that franchise tag back on Orton in a heartbeat. The WWE despite it's attempts to build for the future, is always a here and now organization.

 

[Pedigree1]

Please correct me if im wrong but Oroton did headline WM 22 Triple Threat match Orton v Angle v Mysterio!! Triple H V Orton V Cena at WM 24 and Orton V HHH WM 25. Thats three WM cards he has headlined right there. Orton is only 32 years old hes young guy in the prime of his career right now.

WWE is indeed investing in younger talent thats just the way the business works. Orton still has plenty of time to headline another WM Vinnie Mac IMO still believes in this guy hes in the top three faces of the company. I dont believe for one second that orton wont headline another WM card unless of course hes injured severly. Eventually sure Vinnie Mac will replace orton but not now. Of Course Orton wont be the top face of the company that is cena spot.

Unless Cena retires or turns heel which i dont see happening orton i feel is comfortable being the no 3 face in the company. So Unless Orton suffers a career ending injury IMO he still has plenty of main events in WM

Orton is becoming the Face that gets over other upcoming Stars it doesn't mean he will not get a WM main event but i think it means he will be putting younger Talent over more now like he did with Barrett

 

[The Fig Lebowski]

Randy has definitely already main evented Wrestlemania. There is not much evidence to the contrary. Now what constitutes main eventing and THE main event is semantics that you could argue if you really felt that like it. Not this guy though.

Now if you are asking will Randy Orton ever be the top draw and attraction at mania, then I say probably maybe. I don't think his current gimmick will be able get him there. As a face he's portraying a bad ass, but with that persona it's hard to garner enough sympathy and even harder when your mike skills are a tad limited. That comment might garner some heat but when has Randy ever had the crowd hanging on his every word? Kinda necessary for a face unless you are Goldberg. His heel run was very good but I'm in the camp that believes Randy works better in the confines of a stable.

He is a great hand and still young enough to have a lot more storylines in his WWE career. With the right angle and an evolutionary shift of his character (no pun intended) plus the right red hot opponent, then probably maybe.

 

[bigjoe113]

Orton has been in main events but never headlining main events.
WM 22-HHH vs Cena was The Headliner
WM 24-Overshadowed by HBK/Flair & Floyd/Big Show
WM 25-HHH/Jericho @ WM18 revisited. HBK/Taker was the Headliner

The problem with Orton is he can't be the No. 1 guy with Cena bcuz his Charisma is lacking. Orton is a guy that kicks ass but doesn't have that over the top personality like a Rock and Austin that made them the guys. Orton would be better taking the HHH route and being the main heel for years to come and putting over your next big face for the company in the headlining WM Match. Orton has all the talent in the world just needs a character tweak.

Orton deserves to be the Headliner and I believe he will get his chance if he stays healthy. I hope he headlines a WM with the following
WM 29 Brock Lesnar, Y2J, Top Heel Dolph Ziggler, or Top Face CM Punk
WM 30 We Need to See Randy Orton vs The Rock-The Best of 3rd Generation Superstars Collide. Jus Sayin Vince & Rock... Make it Happen!!! Lol

 

[Starchild]

I know we've seen the feud to death, but a match that HAS to happen is Randy Orton vs John Cena at Mania in a singles match. They're the two biggest stars of this generation and Orton is now solidly in as the top face behind Cena. Like someone said, it's as close as we've been to Austin/Rock and could be very reminiscent of Wrestlemania X7 if both are faces for the match.
Hell, I could see them repeating history and have that be Cena's epic heel turn just like Austin's.

Punk/Cena and maybe even Punk/Bryan seem like potential future headliners, but I think next year that match needs to happen if not Cena and Taker don't finally square off. In fact, I'll go on record as saying Cena vs Orton will go down at at least 2 of the next 5 Wrestlemanias.

 

[XXJJ]

He headlined WM 25, WM 24 and WM 22.

He's only 31. Eventually he will get moved back to Raw (SD depth isn't what it used to be) I'm sure he will have plenty of more opportunities.

A lot of this can get a little silly too. What is headlining WM? Best match? Most hyped match? last match? world title matches? People use different criteria.

Is Jericho vs Punk for the title this year a main event or not? Some people say it is some people say its not. WWE still dubs the Royal Rumble winner as "main eventing Wrestlemania"
