A Boring Life is Two Thousand Times Easier
It's getting that time of year again... the annual big night of wrestling. Wrestlemania. The name itself connotates row upon row of mullet-wearing, beer-drinking, overweight rednecks screaming for the "rasslers" to win. At least that's the image for "regular" people. Sure, maybe that's part of the crowd, but there are those of us who are interested in the fate of the titles and the big, well performed classic matches.
Anyway, each year I usually look forward to Wrestlemania because it guarantees at least one classic match. I used to look forward to the event in general, drooling over the prospect of Austin vs Rock or somesuch. Nowadays, I look to the undercard for one good match. I haven't watched a live Wrestlemania in years, and I definately don't care to see this one live. There's little of any value on this card. The matches are sort of blah, and there doesn't look like there will be a big "Wrestlemania moment" like in the past. Maybe, MAYBE, if Rey Mysterio wins the title in the main event. If he deosn't, it will be double heels walking out with both the titles. Not good business.
There are no big matches to look forward to this year. The best prospects are Angle vs Rey vs Orton and Edge vs Foley. I don't think the three way will live up to expectations. It may be cool if Rey wins the title, but it won't be a quality wrestling match by any means. Edge vs Foley has potential, but they really have to throw caution to the wind and try and put on a top level match if they want to steal the show. Edge really needs to prove that he is THE guy in the company, and that's what I think he'll do. Edge is going to go all out, and Foley will always be able to keep up. Look for this to be match of the night.
That's all though... Cena vs HHH will be wretched, Trips can't get a good match out of "Mr. Crowd Boo". The money-in-the-bank match might be good, depending on which Smackdown guys are included. The tag title matches look bad, Benoit vs JBL might have a very small amount of potential, as long as they don't add the Boogeyman. HBK vs Vince will be a cookie cutter "Vince vs disgruntled employee" match. So, blah to the show.
Viva la Ring of Honor. Viva Pro Wrestling NOAH. Viva Pro Wrestling SHEM (which is what I will always call it, because it's a better name then SEM).
