I mentioned this in another post and I think it's worth mentioning here, booking a cena/brock match so far in advance would be a huge mistake given brock's health concerns. It was a huge risk that paid off nicely when done with the Rock, but Rock doesn't have a history of canceling major events due to illness. Even to just bank on it without formally announcing it could end up with them having more hype around brock than an actual payout. Canceling a Mania main event would be catastrophic. Plus, if Brock is willing to work more dates than Rock was then you can get a lot of ppvs out of him, if not all 12, so have a couple throw away matches for him to get some buys, then have the big one with Cena to get some buys, then build him against someone else and get some more buys, but don't start building a Mania feud until you are damn sure that he will be able to make it, and even then, he's not the highlight of the show. I think that next year's Mania should be headlined by Punk Austin, then maybe Taker Brock as the major non title match, and then Cena and whoever he's feuding against, oh and of course whatever shmuck wins the rumble will open the show against the Smackdown champion

Personally, I was shocked this Sunday to see the Rock go over John Cena at Wrestlemania 28 last Sunday. I honestly couldn't see any scenario in which Cena was going to lose, but behold, we have one.

This marks Cena's second loss in a row on the grandest stage of them all. First the Miz (Thanks to Rock) and now the Rock himself. IMO I have a feeling this 2 outta 3 thing is going to be scrapped. With the way they left things last night on RAW, it appears to me they both have very different paths ahead of them.

It looks as though our WM29 Main Event will include Lesnar and Cena. I'm aware that things change, but with Vince being high on setting the WM 29 Main Event soon, I have a feeling it will easily involve Lesnar, but most likely Cena as well.

Which brings me to my question: Do you think this match has been decided before it's even been set? I find it very hard to even consider the WWE spending an entire year building up a Lesnar vs. Cena feud, only to have their face of the company lose for the THIRD consecutive time at the biggest PPV of the year. I would be utterly shocked, but stranger things have happened. Cena is a good sport, and truly love the company, but you can only be a stepping stone for so long before you crack.

Thoughts?

No way on gods green earth is this going on until Wrestlemania 29. Its a year away and they already done that with WM28 main event.

Brock vs Cena will probably happen at Summerslam. Cena will be fed to Brock to make him look a monster. Cena has just gotten beaten by Rock - who is interested in seeing a loser like Cena try and beat Brock in 12 months time? Nobody. Brock vs Rock or Brock vs Taker for WM29.

 

[Maximus9000]

No triple threat match to lose the streak. If he's going to lose it, I'd rather it be in singles competition and without interference, but honestly, I don't think UT should lose it and it should be part of his great legacy when he retires.

Honestly, who would really benefit from defeating the Undertaker at this stage? If it was going to be anyone, it would have been Rock, Austin or HHH back in the day.

Of course, Cena vs. Undertaker is a mouthwatering prospect. If they're going to do it, they need to do it at next year's Wrestlemania. I see Undertaker possibly retiring after that and taking his place in the HOF.

Lesnar: no. He would have nothing to gain from it. I would prefer to see him face Rock again anyway.

 

[Wrestlemania 20-0]

at the final i've the impression of an friends match with theses three great competitors.the only winner of this match was the friendship and respect that's all.

 

[milan22]

It's official:

Wrestlemania 29 will be at Metlife stadium in NJ.

Really dumb move. This is a HUGE RISK. NJ weather in March & April is always rain. And it's usually around the low 60's. And low 50's at night.

Dumb, dumb, move. Nice Stadium, but dumb move.

 

[HEELKris]

Would Vince put the belt back on Cena this year for a ROck/Cena match for the title?

That's possible, there are rumors they will rematch at SummerSlam.
But I don't want to see that though, I think The Rock should leave and never come back again.

 

[TLK]

I really don't see a better way for their respective careers to end. Shawn's wrestling career was already over, but to be involved in deciding a match between his two closest parallels at Wrestlemania should be THE end. As for Taker, who else could he face to produce a match that could compete with that much emotion? Cena? I don't foresee a Cena/Taker match exuding that much raw emotion. As for Hunter, he may stick around and wrestle here and there, but the curtain call with his best friend and longest-tenured rival was a pretty fitting end. I don't see how this can be topped for any of them. H didn't get a proper "sendoff" on Raw because he's going to be involved in a McMahon role. Proper sendoffs don't fit Taker's character, but he was definitely tearing up during the curtain call which is uncharacteristic enough as it is. I'm happy with how things ended, and wouldn't mind if they stayed that way despite my love for all 3.

 

[TLK]

Triple H has a horrible Mania record, especially in the latter half of his career. When you're as over as Cena is, and have won as often as he has, wins/losses at Mania (or in general, for that matter) aren't important.

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

Cena/Rock II is what I'm guessing we see. Rock said he wanted the WWE title. What is the ONLY to up the ante for Cena/Rock II? Have it for the title. The first match didn't need it because it was the first time. For a second match, you sort of need a reason.

I would honestly book Rock to win the Rumble. Have him come out like number 25, holy shit can you imagine that pop if they keep people from knowing about it? JESUS.

I would LOVE to see Brock/Cena but I don't think they can build it for a year. I think Brock/Taker is there. They had that exchange at a UFC show a few years ago and I think they'll play that up. Plus Lesnar destroyed Taker in the cell back in the day.

I see Cena losing to Brock. They're going to keep kicking Cena's character while it's down to see how the people react and really challenge his character. It's going to be fun.

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

I don't think Vince chose this blindly. He probably already has a "warm ring" or some crazy shit built. I wouldn't be surprised if there were huge heaters around the ring keeping it at 70 degrees. He's not dumb, he plans ahead. The fans can suffer through 5 hours of cold ass weather, they do it for football all the time. this is a wrestlemania audience, rabid fans from all over the world.

Personally I think it'd be kinda cool if it snowed as long as it didn't hurt performance.

 

[DetectiveZelix]

I believe Cena Brock Mania 30 will blow. Brocks spot in WWE will be at the top temporarily. I couldnt see this fued lasting that long and if it does the match will blow because theres no mystique. we're already well aware of what both can do in the ring so we're not willing to wait so like we were with Rock Cena. and because it already got physical its a match of pure spectacle with a touch of nostalgia and others have mentioned Brock has terrible mic work. Cena would carry the whole fued. But again I believe they should keep Cena losing until his character breaks which will show all of his fans that sometimes you have to get dirty and bend the rules to your advantage and he doesnt need to turn heel to do this. I think this Brock fued will take him there. So im excited but in regards to the OP's idea no I dont see and dont want to see Brock Cena Mania 30. Nothing special about it and the fued will be over really soon. I would just use this fued to further Cenas character then semd one of them to SD while the other dominates Raw. Maybe send Brock to SD to elevate talent there until we near Mania and he challenges Takers streak in an MMA style match at Mania. and maybe Cena can fued with Albert and a returning Batista before winning the belt so Rock can challenge him at Mania 30 amd this time lose. or maybe Rock can return early and defeat the Champ and Cena can challenge him at WM 30 winning the title and having his defining moment. All a dream just my opinion. Thank You

 

[#BestInTheWorld]

So WZ has posted an article about 'Rumoured early card for WM29'

The Rock vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE title.
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs CM Punk
The Undertaker vs John Cena

What are everyone's thoughts on this? Realistic? Too optimistic?

I'm not sure what to think of Brock vs Rock, I assume John Cena will be a focal part of the story to this, possibly losing to Lesnar in a big gimmick match in a few months, then confronting The Rock, saying we've both beaten the face of the company, who's next?

The other 2 matches? Not sure storyline wise, but I think they'll both be brilliant matches.

 

[RussellMania]

March 29th, 1987. The fabled WrestleMania 3 emanating from the Pontiac Silverdome. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. This massive event attracted a record 93,173 fans which at the time was an outdoor attendance record for any entertainment event. The 25 WrestleManias that have followed this event have come close but not incredibly close to touching this record. Lets fast forward to April 7th, 2013..........WrestleMania 29 from MetLife Stadium.

MetLife Stadium has a seating capacity of 82,566 for football games. When it comes to WrestleMania, there of course will be seats all over the field that could possibly get the amount of fans into the 90,000s. The New York City/New Jersey area has always been filled with wrestling fans and you are always going to get individuals traveling from all over the globe to make the pilgrimage to wrestlings biggest event. With the rumored card of The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. CM Punk, John Cena vs. The Undertaker, Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels, as well as the continued development of stars such as Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Alberto Del Rio, Wade Barrett, etc., do you believe that WrestleMania 29 has a legitimate shot of surpassing the standard set by WrestleMania 3 when it comes to fan attendance?

 

[xavyer]

Well, if the WWE does their booking very carefully it definitly has a chance, some of the matches that you mentioned are only rumors right now, some of them will hopefully happen, but in the main event they WWE has to book a match between monumental names to keep people interested, and right before wrestlemania they would have to make fantastic promos, they have about a year to make it happen, who knows, maybe they can do it.......

 

[SMKM]

It'd be nice but doubtful. I just wish I could attend WM29 but knowing how expensive tickets are, and knowing full well I'd want to be at ringside, yeah not happening lol

 

[HenryOGodwin]

Like what celtics342 said, with the giant entrance stages they do nowadays it's hard to top that 93,173 INDOOR attendance record, not outdoor. If they had the basic entrances like back in the day, they could have probably topped that record in any of the stadium/dome WM in the last 8 years. I can see 88,000 or so fans in NJ next year.

 

[GameOver]

it could if they had an arena that could house over 110,000. as others stated though the biggest issue is WWE stages are huge. PPV's didn't have stages i believe until the attitude era prior to that it was just a walk way coming from backstage

If you look at the Pontiac Silverdome layout for WrestleMania 3 there was only a criss cross of walkways and by the time the night had rolled in and nearing Hogan vs Andre it looked like they allowed people to move forward filling up those isles so it would appear on TV there was a hell of alot more people then there really was

I would think though that that sort of scenario would be breaking Fire/Health and Safety regulations though.

lastly as to the record indoor attendance and even WrestleMania 6's, well it's up for debate if that many people actually attended not those figures being fudged which WWE does do in it's WWE Facts bits on Raw.

 

[boozinjedi]

I worry about it happening period!!

Up here in the northeast,It can get pretty darn cold out at that time of year.
late March/early April.
What do you if it rains?
If it snows?
OR even worse a rain/snow mix??

Will you have everyone wearing that spandex-type stuff you see football players wear during winter games?

If I remember...Wasn't WM7 originally supposed to be at coliseum in LA and then got rained out and moved to the LA sports arena?

 

[Jack-Hammer]

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that there's already heavy talk for the top matches for WrestleMania 29. While it's still over a year away and anything could happen, the talk is currently centered around these three matches:

Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock For The WWE Championship

CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

The Undertaker vs. John Cena

Personally, I'm not wild about Lesnar vs. Rock being for the WWE Championship as I don't look for either guy to stick around after WM 29. The Rock makes only sporadic appearances, sometimes going for months at a time without appearing, & Lesnar's deal ends after WM 29 and I don't look for him to re-sign.

As for the other two, the prospect excites me. These are two matches that a LOT of fans have wanted to see for a while now. Cena is really the last guy in WWE right now that can be built as a mega threat to The Streak and I know they'd be able to tell a great story. Punk vs. Austin definitely would definitely have a "pass the torch" feeling about it. Austin is said to be a huge fan of Punk's and, if I'm not mistaken, has expressed an interest in interviews to work with him in the past.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Punk VS Austin wouldn't be a good idea. Unless WWE plans on turning Punk heel again, this match wouldn't be the best option for Punk next year. And a heel turn wouldn't make sense, because WWE put so much time and effort into Punk's face turn last year. He received a MONSTER push last summer, and Punk did main event his fair share of pay per views. Also, Punk just had a great match with Jericho at Wrestlemania. It was one of the more memorable WWE Championship matches at Wrestlemania, and WWE would have to do a complete 180 with Punk, if a match with Stone Cold takes place. WWE has put so much energy into building another top face, and Punk has a unique character. You can't expect Cena to stay in the world title picture forever. Having new blood (or a fresh face) is necessary, and Punk can become that guy.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is praised as a God by the mass majority of wrestling fans, and they will not boo him in a feud against CM Punk. Hell, they wouldn't boo him under any circumstances. He could give a Stunner to a four year old girl, and they would still cheer him. The Straightedge face versus the beer drinking, ass kicking, legend, who loves to curse? The fans would eat Punk alive, because Stone Cold will always be their hero regardless, and Austin doesn't have any flaws in their eyes.

Also, and I'm probably in the minority with this one, but I really don't see the appeal of Austin VS Punk. They should be able to deliver a good match together, but for me, Punk VS Austin doesn't have that "must-see" feeling. Punk hasn't reached that megastar level just yet, and for this feud to work, Punk would have to be a heel, because the fans just won't boo Austin.

As far as Lesnar VS Rock goes, It'll be a big time blockbuster match, and the WWE Championship could make the match feel more special. Lesnar VS Rock should draw tons of interest, because both men have come a long way since their match at Summerslam 2002. Lesnar rose to the level of a legit MMA World Heavyweight Champion, and Rock has become a noticeable star in Hollywood. Lesnar and Rock are more than capable of delivering a damn good match, but what can both men offer as WWE Champions? As Jack Hammer said, Rock only pops up once in a while, and you can't expect him to be around on a permanent basis. Brock has a contract, but do you really expect him to stick around after Mania 29? I don't expect Lesnar to stick around for another four or five years, and he won't have any sort of memorable reign as champion.

Undertaker VS Cena is the match I want to see. Taker can still go in the ring, and as long he takes his usual long break, he should be in good physical condition Wrestlemania 29 rolls around. Randy Orton could be considered as the threat to the streak. He's one of the bigger names in WWE, and he did give The Deadman a tough fight at Wrestlemania 21. Kane also makes the cut (mainly because of his history as the kayfabe brother of Taker), but Cena is the man who could be VERY believable as that one legit threat to the streak. Taker VS Cena at Wrestlemania is one of the very few dream matches left in pro wrestling, and I would love to see this match up next year.

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

I believe Cena Brock Mania 30 will blow. Brocks spot in WWE will be at the top temporarily. I couldnt see this fued lasting that long and if it does the match will blow because theres no mystique. we're already well aware of what both can do in the ring so we're not willing to wait so like we were with Rock Cena. and because it already got physical its a match of pure spectacle with a touch of nostalgia and others have mentioned Brock has terrible mic work.

All a dream just my opinion. Thank You

Why would you send one of your biggest draws to SD? That's like if Coke said "yea, we'll sell Diet Coke....but only in North Dakota".

Also, WWE will never do an MMA style match. That's just stupid. Everyone knows it's fake. The Joe/Angle MMA style match was embarrassing. that'd be like if someone made a baseball movie and tried to sell it as a legit baseball game. It's not. It's entertainment, why supress that? How about just a brutal ass rough match between the huge Lessie and the old dog Taker?

 

[DetectiveZelix]

Intrigue my friend. and for the sake of gimmick matches. We all know Taker has got some boxing and MMA style training in his background and with Lesnar leaving the UFC will almost make the match that much more interesting, well in my opinion. Now yes I will agree sending Cena to SD is not a good idea business wise, but just to spread out the star power to both shows. I myself can never really enjoy smackdown as much these days. I miss having big stars that actually catch my attention on both shows and I think Cena or Brock can most certainly do that. Now mind you Im speaking for myself as a fan. its merely my interest so what makes sense for me may not reflect anyone elses desires. But alas as a business decision I'd keep them both on Raw to maintain elite status and value but as a fan and wanting new and interesting happenings on SD, I'd transfer one of them. Thank You...oh and as for Taker Brock I am tired of the young hungry guy going after the old veteran which is almost any storyline now days which is why I chose the MMA route. the match doesnt have to MMA rules but I'd like for them to push the fact that both men are well experienced in the fighting field and not only wrestling. I know it might sound futile but for me it draws interest and a little something different and new for WWE today

 

[The Crock]

I don't think we'll see Cena vs Lesnar at WrestleMania 29. Lesnar's contract guarantees a lot more appearances than The Rock's did. Lesnar will be here quite often, and it seems like he'll work a few feuds from now until WrestleMania. I have Lesnar and Rock facing off at 'Mania 29, so (obviously) his feud with Cena will be done by then. Plus, if Rock's promo before leaving last Monday meant anything, then the match between he and Lesnar (again, just what I think will happen) will be a WWE Championship match; it will be exponentially easier to put the WWE Championship on Lesnar, especially since he'll be in the ring fairly regularly. That'll probably set up a feud with CM Punk (or whoever the champion is at that point) after Lesnar's program with Cena.

Lesnar will be a much more useful commodity than Rock was. Rock had an impact, but he wasn't a regular member of the roster, no matter how you try to shake it. Lesnar will be, for the most part. He won't be there every week, but 2 times a month is more than enough to build toward a PPV, especially if you're facing John Cena. Even so, there's always room for more appearances to be inserted into the contract, and while Brock will never be a full-time member of the roster again, I'm sure he'll want to do what's best for the product and for the feud -- he'll appear whenever is necessary.

Lesnar/Cena at 'Mania 29 is a no-go, for me.

 

[DetectiveZelix]

I'm going with Lesnar-Rock Mania 30 as well. Just makes more sense as they're both part timers. There is history and from what I believe still kayfabe animosity between the two of them. But then again the same can be said for Taker-Lesnar. Both of these are better than Cena-Lesnar. I can see Cena-Taker at Mania 30 with Rock-Lesnar and maybe Punk-Austin if possible... Just my opinion. Thank you

 

[nbieclkl91]

So I just finished watching Z! True Long Island Story and during it, Dolph Ziggler challenged Zack Ryder to a match at Wrestlemania 29 for the Internet Title. Now, I know this is potentially just a joke but then again,vit could actually happen. Basically, the WWE could allow Ryder to bring the Internet Title in as a "Million Dollar Title" type championship snd start defending it through out the year. By the time WM 29 rolls around, Ziggler/Ryder could be big enough stars that people would be willing to watch the ppv based on this alone.

Let me know what you think. Possible?
