I've seen bits of ECW over the years and yeah I wasn't a huge fan either. I understand the idea behind it, it was rougher, nastier, it wasn't polished like WWE or WCW or anything else like that. I'd also agree that the Attitude Era is what took that roughness and made it more actually entertaining, faults and all.
Wrestlemania is this weekend and it could have some interesting possibilities. I'm worried about some of it, unsure of others, but there could be some good stuff here possibly.
Orton vs Wyatt: WWE Championship - I'm really hoping they don't take the obvious route of putting another belt on Orton, but I could see this being good as I like Wyatt and I don't have Orton fatigue as others do who've been watching for years.
Goldberg vs Lesnar: Universal Championship - This is an unsure one. This could easily turn out to be kinda lame, just a bunch of suplex's and spears, but I'm mildly hopeful that with the build up of Goldberg domination, that they have something entertaining to pull out. Don't really care who wins anyways, they are both part timers, so it's relatively unimportant since the belt will go to someone else pretty soon afterwards I bet.
Seth Rollins vs HHH: Non-Sanctioned Match - This has real interesting story potential. I'm throwing this out there as there's been talk of a new stable happening with HHH, Owens, and Joe, which seemed clear with Joe running in to help Owens, so maybe we see the Shield run in to help Rollins. It would be kind of a rehash of HHH vs Sting at Wrestlemania, but this would be better since all the guys this time can actually still wrestle lol
Undertaker vs Reigns - This is the one I'm worried about. This is very likely Undertakers last Wrestlemania. Everyone is saying that he's just not physically capable of going on and I'm worried they use this as Reigns retiring Undertaker to get a boost. Except it won't work. They can't turn the crowd to Reigns. Normally I'd be fine with a legend putting over someone else as they go out, but this won't benefit Roman. At this point, I want to see Undertaker go out on top. I know it buries, slightly literally here, the newer talent, which isn't a great idea, but I think its the best way for him to end his career.
Shane McMahon vs Styles - I don't know why this is happening truly, I don't see McMahon needing to do this after his match with Taker which should've been a high point, and though I'm sure Styles could turn this into a good match and Shane will do some big 'ole jump again that looks great, I feel this is kind of a weak fight for Wrestlemania.
Raw Women's Championship Fatal 4 Way - Good enough story here, Bayley, Charlotte, and Sasha are good wrestlers and Jax makes for a tougher take down target, so it could be okay.
Jericho vs Owens: US Championship - Both are great guys, this should be a solid match and I'm sure there will be shenanigans here, much like there was with Owens and Zayne again on Raw.
Cena/Bella vs Miz/Maryse - This is a thing.
Ambrose vs Corbin: IC Championship - Don't expect too much out of this, but it should be fine.
Bliss vs Everyone: Smackdown Women's Championship - When you don't watch the tv show, its weird when certain matches come up. I'm not entirely sure how this match will work, I'm watching Smackdown tonight, so I'll find out, but this could be alright? Should be kinda wild.
Neville vs Aries: Cruiserweight Championship - Both are good wrestlers, so this should be solid to watch for sure. I like the more aggressive Neville. Made him a more interesting character.
Raw Tag Team Match Triple Threat - Good enough guys here, made into a ladder match last night (Sheamus got opened up nastily by a ladder on Raw), might be alright.
Andre Battle Royal - I'm a sucker for Rumble and Battle Royal matches. I could see Strowman taking it perhaps.
And that's all for just Wrestlemania. NXT Takeover is Saturday and there could be some fun stuff there.
