Wrestlemania Tidbits.....

As I predicted, Shawn Michaels will be the X Factor in the match between Triple H and The Undertaker as the guest referee. On a related note, the Cell is in process of undergoing a kind of restructuring in order to account for the outdoor event. Since it cannot be suspended from a ceiling, the running idea is to build the cage structure complete with top and fully enclose the cell once it has been dropped into place by rolling dollies or something to the like. It is my guess that the assembling of the cell will be made into almost the kind of spectacle the rest of the match will become.

I do have one question for the people here: Exactly WHAT is the main event for this year's Wrestlemania? Unless my math is wrong, there are 4 potential main event matches; two grudge matches, and two world title matches. Seems to me that IF The Rock is going to stick around for another year; meaning about 6 actually present appearances, Rock vs. Cena NEEDS to go at the end to sell it. HOWEVER, if there is to be extensive fallout between Triple H and Undertaker, THAT needs to go at the end. The writers and directors really have their work cut out for them.

For once, WWE seems to have had a light bulb going off in a positive way as far as the Divas are concerned. What was once believed to take place in a dark match before the PPV now looks to be on the card near the beginning. The old idea was to put Beth Phoenix against Kharma or Natalya, but it now looks like WWE is going in a different direction with that. My bet is that we'll see yet another return of Trish Stratus to challenge the current Divas champion. I will say this once and once only, I have always thought of Trish as overrated and has gotten more in her short time in the Women's Division than a few who deserved it more. I digress, though, as the argument is neither important nor relevant as the Divas are NOT the women's division to be watching if you want consistently good talent.

For all the failings and flubs where gold could have been had, WWE is actually making this a big deal. I will say, it's not enough for me to pay them to see it, but as far as I'm concerned, the highlights will be plenty good enough to whet my appetite for their filler-laden product.

If you are of the persuasion that this will be one of those times when history will be made, I wish you the best in your viewing of the event. Me? I'll be sitting at home watching a movie or something with my family, thankful that at least I won't be disappointed until I read about it the day after.
