I think they have no clue what they are doing. Punk walks out and scraps one of the top matches vs HHH. The fans poop on Batista, after he wins the Rumble. Since the Raw after, they have kept Orton and Batista away from each other, not really building any hype for their match, which makes me think they aren't 100% sure if that match will stay the same. I know they have EC in between, but normally the title match is nailed on by now. There is stories that they are not sure if Lesnar will be to stiff for Taker and the fact that he may not want to go over their match in detail beforehand. Surely, they should have already asked Lesnar if he will do this already? If he doesn't want to, scrap it. My top matches would be
Orton vs Bryan Batista vs Lesnar Cena vs Taker
Triple H shouldn't be involved (not gonna happen, I know). I have no idea what the undercard would be, but it doesn't look like WWE do either. Also, the Network is taking up a lot of their time right now, so they really haven't hyped Mania much yet. I can't remember the last time it felt special around Mania. I am looking forward to seeing what they do with The Shield, though. Something that they have done well from the very start and, so far, are continuing to do so.

It's unfortunately just looking like a random crappy PPV card.
Unless they throw some serious surprises in there IE Sting, Warrior, Goldberg, Nash then I'll be content to wait to see it.

Nope. This is the most excited I've been for WM in a long time.

Last week's Raw was so damn mundane to me with the exception of a couple of matches, I'm hoping things will pick up after Elimination Chamber.
CM Punk didn't help matters by pulling an Austin.

I'm going to Mania, so i'm pretty excited. If I wasn't, then I would not be excited in the least. If Mania is bad, oh well, off to Bourbon St

I'll always be excited for Wrestlemania, but you just kind of have to accept that Wrestlemania isn't what it used to be. Wrestlemania used to have a focus on long term storyline pay offs with multiple great mid card and main event matches. Now, Wrestlemania truly is more of a spectacle, only being held in stadiums, with shorter term build, and little to no attention to the mid card. They have their handful of main event matches they build towards and the rest just falls into place. So I pretty much go in looking for one great/classic match and if I get that, I'm a happy camper.

I'm just waiting for any of these things to be announced:
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust The Usos vs. The New Age Outlaws Daniel Bryan in the WWE Championship match
Then I could be excited.

Am I excited, no. Could I get excited within the next few weeks, sure. Do I expect to care anymore than I do now by Mania, (in the immortal words of Dean Ambrose) nope.
Doesn't matter, I'm ordering the Network. So they've already got me regardless of my opinion on the actual card.
I think too many people are fantasy booking right now and they are setting themselves up for disappointment. I'll get excited when some of that actual materializes. Del Rio vs Ziggler was a no brainer for SummerSlam last year and it didn't happen. We make up ideas in our head that better suit our fandom and when they don't happen we complain. Guilty. So Mania looks like sh*t right now, and until it's not sh*t, that's how I'm going to feel.

The way it's looking, I'm very unexcited for WrestleMania. The best part of the night will be the food that I eat.

I feel like we have this thread every year. It's Wrestlemania so I'll be excited regardless. Punk being gone does hinder it though.

There's only one match (sorta) official and people are already complaining about the card?

We literally know zero matches for sure on the card, so it's hard to have any feeling either way. That said, the past six months or so have dried up my interest level in the product from "can't miss" to "what else is on?"

I'll save my excitement for when, you know, a match actually gets booked.

Last year's show was boring. This year seems to be a complete mess. That to me makes it more interesting, but I sure ain't excited.
It feels like they've been jerking us around for months. I don't even care about Daniel Bryan anymore, so congrats WWE on your booking.

Without Punk WWE sucks.
Plus, I think WWE wishes that Bray Wyatt were bigger than he is at this point. Wyatt vs. Cena makes NO sense. Kind of like the Miz vs. Cena at WM27.

I was least excited for a mania last year as I have ever been. And I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up.

yeah but i felt the same last year too. wwe has actually been crap lately. even worse than the anon gm era. wyatt/shield is really the only reason i'm watching right now.
saying that, i do think it's a shoe in that wrestlemania this year closes to daniel bryan winning the gold to a sea of yes chants, which will be pretty cool to see finally.

Nope. This is the most excited I've been for WM in a long time. Just curious, what exactly is exciting you this year?
