Normally, around Wrestlemania time, we would get visits by part-timers like John Cena or the Undertaker, coming out and promoting their matches for Wrestlemania.
However, twenty days before Wrestlemania, and neither man has yet made an appearance on TV.
So it looks likely that neither man will appear at this year's version of Wrestlemania.
I was anticipating that maybe Cena would return and refer to his match against Taker last year. Cena would challenge him again this year, but this time, he isn't going to wait for an answer, and he is going to go find Taker and confront him this time.
Now, some would be saying no Cena or Taker is probably a good thing, and is maybe a sign that WWE is moving away from having part-timers on Wrestlemania (or maybe not as many of them, since Brock and Batista still have matches).
Maybe this is true. Most of these guys work hard all year, and have earned a WM spot, rather than guys who show up once or twice a year.
It does make last year's Cena v Taker feud more meaningless, though, as it seemed to be teasing a follow-up (since Cena was squashed by Taker). Maybe they should have not had Cena or Taker last year either, such was the weakness of the build-up for their match last year.
So, do you think that this is a sign of a new direction, by moving away from part-timers? Do you think their absence will hurt WM interest, or will it make the show seem fresher (especially with Taker struggling to do a WM match every year)?
