Edge vs Jericho *should* be the last match at WM, as the RR winner gets a Wrestlemania Main Event spot as the prize.

both world title matches are considered the main events, even if that means one of them goes on third from last, with a breather match or filler inbetween to the very last one.

i agree the undertaker michaels should be on last, its the biggest bout on the card with so much going for it.

Both the world title matches are shoe horn jobs, with two new champions crowned in the last month, jericho's been booked to look mickey weak getting speared every week up till a fortnight ago. And this feud didn't even need the title involved to be interesting, if they'd done it right.

If they have Undertaker/Michaels on last, wouldn't that telegrpah the ending? They aren't going to want to finish the show on a downer, like Undie haveing to retire forever.

Its not really a downer - it would be a celebration of a fantastic career and the continuation of the streak following another awesome match. Can see them adding more of a hardcore element to this one with the no dq / countout rule.

I think a good proportion of the fans in attendance would see ending with another Cena title win as more of a downer than anything else.

i don't know which way it's ending, i've read spoilers giving suggestions both ways.

If you run down the card, its the match with most meaning and best and biggest build up behind it. I dunno bout you but if i was about to see the streak finally broken(personally i think it should be used to put over new talent but thats another argument) and see HBK celebrating, or see MR WRESTLEMANIA walking off as the last moment of the night, its a memorable wrestlemania moment.



Can i jsut point out that every time i say wrestlemania, its done in a santino "rasslemarnia" stylee.

IMO Taker should be able to retire (whenever that may be) with the streak in tact. On the one hand people could say look at how he's benefitted from a WWF/WWE career e.g. the money, titles, good lifestyle etc. However, I say look at what he's done for them - 20 years of loyalty (very rare in the business over the last few decades), helped make stars out of so many guys (e.g. Glenn Jacobs), carried the company through some very dark days, and still pulling off world class performances now in his 40's.
Be sad as hell to see HBK retire, but like I said really the Taker doesn't deserve to lose his streak either, so it's lose-lose in a way really.

If Micheals does lose and have to retire then I hiope it's permanent.

Not because I want to see his career end but I can't stand wrestlers who "retire" and then come back to wrestle. Flair and Foley being two that spring to mind.

Just seen a list of Wrestlemanias rated best to worst on a site. There's Tube links on it and the WM15 link is fantastic. The build up and match between Austin and The Rock at WM. WWF at it's finest.

The link can be found from Wrestlezone, if anyone's interested.
