| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01  | I'm sure the WWF creative team doesn't even know the main event for Wrestlemania yet, but this is a weird year. Usually, there is an obvious choice they go with. Last year at this time, we all KNEW it would be Rock-Austin, but I think they're gonna steer clear of making that the World Title main event AGAIN for the third time in four years. The obvious choice for a while was Austin-HHH, but I'm not sure with Austin's face turn they'll go that route anymore. I guess they could do a heel HHH coming back, but we've seen heel HHH v. face Austin before, and although that would be worthy of a Wrestlemania main event, the fact it's been done too many times means it shouldn't be the WM main for me. Same thing if they decided a face v. face match. The only way it would have been different is if they kept Austin heel, but clearly that wasn't working out business wise, so they had to turn him. Quite frankly, assuming they learned their lesson from two years ago and make it one-on-one, there wouldn't be that many RARE top three guy (Rock, Austin, HHH) matches left. Rock-HHH is the only combination with those three I haven't touched yet, and although the first 1,254,456 matches between these two to headline a PPV were usually good, I don't think it'd be smart to make it WM18's main event. But those are the only three WM caliber main eventers. I think the creative team saw this and so are trying to make a new WM caliber main eventer by Wrestlemania to get a fresh main event, and I think the guy they chose was Y2J. But how can that work? Here's my ideas on how: They're off to a good start by making him the first undisputed champ, I think that automatically moved him up to or at least near that level. So far, his reign has been good, and he's been a very convincing vulnerable heel champ that people will pay to see finally get his due. But, I think between now and then, he might need one more ingredient to put him over the top as a vulnerable heel champ, and that's a person or people at his side to make sure he keeps his title. Flair had it with the Horsemen. Shawn Michaels had it in DX when he was heel. Hell, even using WCW, Hogan when he was NWO in its initial days was a successful champion having his NWO guys protect him. It makes the fans think the champ is weak, but has a very realistic shot of retaining the title anyway because of that protection. Since, although I think it's a dumb move, the WWF seems to have Nash locked up, I think it would be cool to "bring back" a past angle and make Nash Jericho's Vince McMahon appointed bodygaurd. That would totally catapult Jericho into WM main event mode, since Nash has the perception by the common fan as that caliber himself. Again, Nash on top by himself doesn't make money, but if he's used to give guys the rub, then it could work. My problem with that is Nash won't agree to do that, but maybe he'll behave at the beginning. So, you make Jericho the champ with a bodygaurd Nash and you make him face one of the big three for the belt while having the other two fight each other which is good enough since it wouldn't be the main event. The obvious candidate if you go MY route is HHH becasue of the Nash ties. Though we've seen HHH-Y2J before, it's never been at THIS level for the title, with a heel Jericho, and hasn't been too overly saturated. That would be how I'd do it. Plus, you can play the "Jericho injured me" storyline with HHH. Then you have Austin-Rock in the undercard as a face v. face match and that makes sense too as they both seem to have unfinished business stemming from last year's Mania. As I thought about it, I might also make Benoit come back to be on HHH's side as he can get mad at Jericho for turning his back on everyone and for aligning with a guy who held both of them down in WCW (Nash), leading to maybe a Nash-Benoit match at Wrestlemania as well. (The ideal woul be Benoit going over since it's in Canada, but Lord knows Nash wouldn't want that) So, that's my ideas. Thoughts? Any suggestions for what you think should be the main event instead? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO! | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | I see your point, here's my take: The Rock: Has headlined Wrestlemania the last three years, and will most likely have a set-back year in 2002, don't expect to see him in the main event. Taker: Too old, too mean, too crappy to be in the spotlight, he has nothing left in the tank to headline the event. Kane: Not enough Championship experience, 1 day isn't good enough. Plus, the writers are struggling to find suitable angles for Kane. Y2J: I'm pretty sure he'll lose the Titles at No Way Out if not the Rumble, he might, might be in the main event if it's not a 1 on 1, and most likely won't end up winning. It's not like he's not ready, but with all the guys coming back and new feuds happening. Right now it's not looking like Y2J will be there. Benoit: It's almost time for the Crippler to come back and hopefully soon. He's missed alot of time and was getting to main event status before the injury. He'll be rusty and most likely won't get in the main event. I picture him feuding with Y2J or The Rock, he's pretty much exactly like Y2J, and Y2J has a chance but a slim one, Benoit hasn't held the WWF title yet and I don't picture him in the main event for that reason. Booker T: He has been in the WWF since July, not good enough for Wrestlemania, ell you never know. This Booker/Austin thing is going good and is looking simialar to the HHH/Austin issue. By 2003 The Book will be there. RVD: Has had some main events before and handled them pretty well, but RVD is young and is still making his career. He is the future of the WWF and will be there eventually. Bossman: No! Fianlly, that leaves three men, and three men I would like to see in the event: Triple H, Austin & PWI 500's wrestler of the yeeeaaaarrrr... Kurt The Milkman Angle! Yes, that would be perfect all three have feuded in the past and they are the top three in my view. They know how to wrestle and there isn't anything fancy bout these guys, Triple Threat would be great, those are my ideas.  This message was edited by rageparty on 12-31-01 @ 2:55 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 01 | as long as it's not rock vs austin again, i'll be happy. i'd love to see rvd in the main event, but its probably to soon for him to headline a wrestlemania. CEBOLLA | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | They should work towards a Nash vs. Undertaker main event for Wrestlemania. It would be GREAT, because they're both BIG, and as everyone knows, BIG wrestlers are better than small wrestlers. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | Hopefully Sir O. was being sarcastic or he was stoned. Nash knows 3 moves, Taker hates losing and still has a perfect WrestleMania record to prove it. There's no way it would work out with both being the most selfish and ignorant wrestlers on the planet. At the same time the wrestling would be crappy but the storyline wouldn't be bad. Nash a.k.a. Diesel has some unfinished business from Wrestlemania 12 I think it was when Taker beat Diesel and we never saw him in the federation ever again. The match would never be worth a main event at Wrestlemania though. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | No, I was serious. But I thought of an even BETTER idea. They could make it a 3 way elimination match with Nash and Undertaker and THE BIG SHOW! Then we'd really know who the BIGGEST, bestest mofo is in wrestling!!11! | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | I've disagreed with many of Sir O's comments in the past but THIS takes the cake when he was talking about a Nash v. Taker v. Big show main event at Wrestlemania:quote: Excuse me?????? You ever hear of a certain man by the name of GIANT GONZALEZ my friend? This man had an absolute classic against the Taker at the greatest Wrestlemania of all time, Wrestlemania 9, and proved he is the biggest bestest MUDDA FUCKA in the planet. He even brought the Taker down with an ETHER TOWEL if I remember correctly! Try messing with that that, bitch! Hey, I got an idea! We all know how GREAT the main event two years ago was as a fatal four way, how about the WWF signs Giant Gonzalez and makes it a fatal four way with the three guys you mentioned. You can make Kane the special guest referee cuz he's BIG too! Man, Vince would make more money than he'd know how to do with! Fuck Jericho, I retract my prior statements! Him and Benoit and those guys from the past like Bret Hart, they're too small so they suck! BIG guys RULE! BRING BACK EL GIGANTE!!!!!!!!!!! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO! | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | for the main event at Wrestlemaina 18,i would love to see a all canadian main event pitting benoit vs jericho. thats just my personal view. i think it can go anyway with HHH,The Rock,Austin. i would like to see Kurt Angle in the mix also. Kane maybe,but i dont think he's their yet. but if Undertaker is in the main event,it will suck. but with the possibilty of Kevin Nash coming back and Scott Hall,it should interesting and exciting to see what happens.

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | I say that Benoit returns at the Rumble (AS A HEEL, dammit), but the returning face Triple H wins the Rumble Match. The main event is set as Triple H vs. Jericho. Benoit reunites with his old partner, Jericho. They go off on a reign of terror, in which Benoit wins the IC belt at No Way Out. The only ones who can stop these dangerous Canucks is...the 2-Man Power Trip. Your Wrestlemania main event becomes the Triple H vs. Jericho title match, and your sub-main event is Austin vs. Benoit for the IC title. Now before you guys ream me a new one for putting Austin in an IC title match, remember that Triple H was IC champ last year, and it didn't hinder his main-event status.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | Yeah, but what would you do next PPV? They already had a Tag Match with three titles on the line, and you don't want to repeat storylines so that would force Austin to wrestle a midcarder for the IC title, and then to get rid of the title obviously he would have to get screwed out of the title because you won't see Austin losing to a midcarder fair and square. And then the person that screws him would most likely be a main eventer, and Austin is taken off of the title race once again as he feuds with the person who screwed him and that would probably take 2 or 3 PPV's. So Austin winning the IC title isn't always a good thing. | ||||
