I honestly think WM has the potential to be a belter this year. That being said? It couldn't hurt to have a few more appearances from Sting & Brock.

Sting rarely appearing, and not speaking when he does appear, adds to the aura of his character. I'm not overly invested in the reason why he's fighting Triple H, I think him having his debut match in the WWE at WrestleMania sells itself.
Undertaker not responding to Wyatt appears to be the whole point, and will make Undertaker's eventual return that bit more exciting. If he returned weeks back, I think the promos between him and Wyatt would have gotten repetitive pretty quickly. Having Wyatt spend a few weeks trying to get Undertaker to face him, followed by a few weeks of back and forth between the two, seems a better way to go than just having Undertaker appear at Wyatt's first request, pointing to the WrestleMania sign and saying 'Rest in peace' a lot (i.e. the route they've gone for a few years now).
Lesnar not being there doesn't hurt too much because he is usually unengaging on the mic, and Heyman has been incredible in places (especially last night). Lesnar usually just stands next to Heyman while he does his thing. He needs a good pre-WrestleMania scrap with Reigns though, for sure.
I'm okay with it personally. I mean generally speaking, having part-timers headline WrestleMania every year does bother me a bit, but I don't think it's hurting too much this time around.

It is strange, isn't it?
Plus, with a three hour show, we can't get some damn development with The Rhodes family?
It's one of the main things I was diggin!
Give those bros a Mania match.

They need to be careful with making the Sting/HHH feud about WCW vs. WWF.
For starters, that ship sailed 14 years ago. Also, while Sting was clearly the franchise player of that organization, Triple H wasn't even in the top 5 during his run. I'd place Undertaker and HBK over Triple H as being more "franchise players" to WWF and that's just off the top of my head.

Austin, Rock, Taker were all above him even during the run he had in 99-01. I don't think Triple H really became that much of a top guy until after WCW had already closed its doors. |

HHH has never really been the guy, he's just been a guy at the top since '99. Combining that with his status as a CEO, or CFO or whatever he is I think works well with Sting coming in for vengeance. Even if it is a little late, there's not a whole lot else to build a storyline around. A Taker/Sting match next WM writes itself as long as both guys go over at 31. |

Yeah I agree the angle with Sting works because he's Corporate H now. |

They're trying to do Crow Sting and it works....but it's impossible for me to forget the crappy Joker promos and losing to Magnus...

I like the idea of 'Taker not appearing until WM, plus Bray is killing it anyway.
Hunter again is doing pretty well on his own.
But Lesnar is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion & is in the main event of the biggest show in pro wrestling and thus, should be appearing every sodding week IMO. There are loads of guys that'd love to be in his spot and are willing to do the work.

They started doing this with the Part Timers as a band aide until they had some credible talent to main event and be the new breed of top teer guys and now they have them. They need to pull back on the part timers. Save all of Brock's dates after 'Mania (if he does resign) and use it to have him. At every Raw before Summer Slam and at every Raw before 'Mania to make his matches more meaningful. He should no longer be champion. Just a monster for conquering to propel other talents.
BROCK LESNAR THE BADDEST ENHANCEMENT TALENT IN THE WWE.

I'm fine with part timers I just don't think they should be champion. Now we are in a situation where the main event is fairly boring because one guy never shows up and the other is no good on the mic(Most of the time). Brock's never been around much for any of his feuds, but he had great feuds with Punk, Cena, and HHH simply because those guys and Heyman would always deliver on the mic whenever Brock was absent. WWE doesn't have that luxury with Reigns. Part timers aren't bad but they become really bad when you book it the way WWE has.

In theory, having a lot of part timers isn't the best idea but this year has been pretty good to me. Sting is Sting, he's using the crow gimmick and it's been amazing every time he's showed up, which I imagine is what they're going for. Wyatt has been gold and as long as they make Taker's eventual return worth it, then I don't mind him not showing up too much. The only thing I really feel is needed, is Brock showing up more and brawling with Reigns, but I suppose we still have a few weeks to get that.

I don't have a problem with part timers, they definitely add that special feeling to me. But you are correct. Sporadic appearances through the year are fine, because that's the off season. But when mania time comes, I don't know how special you think you are, you should be there or at least have an interview or promo of some kind and not a recycled package or the other opponent doing all the work. The exception being undertaker though because this year is built upon the idea of not knowing his status.

Agreed Kev.
It's hard to build real tension without the opposing party being there.
