wm 26 will be good in the end i think.
i basically wanted to talk about 2 things, 1.) my thoughts on wm 26 and 2.) a fun little thing i did, "using the current roster, make the wm 26 card you want to see"
Thoughts on WM 26:
Mysterio/Punk:
Punk will hopefully win, leading to a hair vs mask or special stip match at extreme rules. unfortunately, this match wont get the time it needs to be amazing, but it should still be really good. won't steal the show though.
Taker/HBK:
I'll be sad no matter who wins, because I like the streak but HBK retiring for good will suck. And if he comes back, I will just lose a lot of respect for him. Taker wins though.
Cena/Batista:
They work well together, I think it is almost obvious Cena wins at this point, but I'm sure Batista and McMahon will work together after WM to screw Cena again.
Jericho/Edge:
WWE has been pushing "SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR" too much. Jericho wins by countering a Spear into a Codebreaker.
Hart/McMahon:
Please, Hart wins with Sharpshooter. Vince will want fans to be happy.
MitB:
Christian or McIntyre wins, I wouldn't be surprised to see Vince come down after the match and have Christian defend the MitB case against McIntyre (who would sit out the entire match). Anything to shove Drew down our throats and for him to finally get a reaction.
Legacy/Orton:
I honestly don't care who wins. I do like Orton the best though, he is a great anti-hero.
Sheamus/HHH:
Ugh - Sheamus will win to elevate his career, WWE will have a serious lack of main eventers after WrestleMania

My Dream Card (No Order)
Tag Team Championship
Bret Hart and The Hart Dynasty vs Mr. McMahon/Big Show/The Miz
With Bret Hart signed, you need to use him. But don't let him control the whole match, let it be a 6 man tag where vince hires show and miz to back him up after thd teams up with their friend and mentor, bret. let bret win by sharpshooter to vince, but lets give thd some chance here
this match pushes THD and hopefully reinvigorates the tag division. make this match for the tag titles so that a real tag team can hold them.
WWE Championship
John Cena vs The Undertaker - No DQ
Honestly at this point, it is almost a given that HBK will lose and likely retire. Whether he retires for good is a different story but who knows - the point is, he doesn't deserve to go out like that, losing to the same man twice in a row. yes they will put on a classic, but so can cena and taker. If any man can end the streak at this point, it will be john cena. Whether he does it or not is for the writers to decide, i had hoped they keep it intact but it would truly be the defining moment of john cena's career. every mega star has one (austin passing out at wm 13, hogan bodyslamming andre) and cena has yet to truly get his moment.
might as well make this one for the title. ill give cena the win, he needs something to cement his career. plus, wwe could finally give him a heel run with this.
HBK vs HHH
I am a firm believer that HBK should retire at WM 26, considering its being held in the state he was born, and I think it should be against HHH not the Undertaker. HHH and HBK can put on a decent match or a pretty good match, but I think they would put it all out for hbk's retirement. hbk winning would be the proper send off.
World Heavyweight Championship
Edge vs Christian
If you need a title match, I would have made it this one. Edge is a proven main eventer, he did it 2 years in a row, and whether christian is his brother or just really good friend doesn't matter, winning over edge at wrestlemania can finally put him over as that main event star that wwe needs. if wwe wants edge to have a clean title win, then i think he can do it later on down the line. It is christian's time to shine.
Chris Jericho vs John Morrison
I think it is time to elevate morrison as a main eventer. even though i have y2j going over, i think that a classic between these 2 at wrestlemania would truly put morrison over. whether or not he can perform a classic is something that i cant decide, but if he needs help, jericho can do it.
i will say that annoying afraid to do anything y2j is not what i want to see, especially him as champion for wm. if anything, he should go back to his y2j heel of 2003 and around that time. when he would do whatever to win but could fight and win matches too.
US / IC Championship
Shelton Benjamin vs Jack Swagger
think of this as angle/benoit 17. i want there to be a lot of actual wrestling until swagger gets frustrated at the thought that there might be someone better than him that he decks benjamin and we then get a normal match.
if you could get a midcard title on one of them, do it. this match would be a good breath of fresh air.
Randy Orton vs Batista - Special Guest Ref, Stone Cold Steve Austin
I think this is how you truly pass the torch. orton is the anti-face, batista is the heel that he is now. they fued about who truly got the torch from the attitude era since they both came from evolution and they decide to have a match at wrestlemania. austin, the MAN, from the attitude era is the special ref.
have orton win clean and austin stunner batista after the match. then, austin and orton drink a beer together. however, austin midway through tries to stunner orton as well. Orton reverses, RKOs Austin, and walks down the ramp as the fans cheer for the rko. austin gets up, looks at orton, and nods his head, acknowledging that indeed the torch has been passed.
CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio - Stretcher Match
These two have good chemistry and a good fued. i would have started it a little earlier but i really like how its developed. punk would need a wm win though to solidfy himself as a main event player in the future.
6 Man MITB and Womans Title Match
kind of mandatory
