That's why I was saying it's a supporting match that will support spots on the card above it. If the show already has Austin vs. Punk, Rock vs. Brock, Sting vs. Taker, why am I trying to bring in any other old-timers? I wanna see WWE build up WHO THEY HAVE ON THE ROSTER NOW into huge, meaningful feuds and blow offs at WM. You know, like they did with Austin vs. Rock or HBK's myriad matches. If the only way they can sell a match at WM is to bring in a part-timer or someone out of retirement, that's sad, and eventually they're gonna run out of old guys to use. That's why I think Sting vs. Taker will be poor. Noone knows if Austin even could come back. Sure, we want to see some of these matches, but if they're limited, hot garbage without proper build (like everyone has been complaining about because the one-sided feuds with part timers make the build all on one guy) then we're left with the feeling of WM XXXI. What 'great match' on the card do we have featuring current roster members besides the IC Ladder match? WrestleMania still being built on guys from years ago is sad. There's only one or two guys on the current roster which could be used in the Main Event of WrestleMania and not seem like a second thought. It's not just about the WWE though. The fans have gotten very stubborn over the years and if the favourite wrestler they have doesn't get pushed they're likely to not respond positively even if the product provided is great. See Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane. The match ruled but many people discredited it because they had an agenda before the match that Roman Reigns sucked and couldn't put on a good match, and continued with that attitude even after that good showing. Both WWE and the fans nowadays are very stubborn. The fans have their stuck favourites of which they always want to Main Event WrestleMania, be at the end of the intro package and ave the most crappy merchandise made per year, the WWE have their own too. WWE is the organisation and the fans should really realise that it's their choice who they push, it's their choice to make a mistake if it happens, and their choice to succeed if it does so like they hope it will. Some of the 'occasional fans' are the ones being stubborn. I agree the Fastlane match was great, it delivered. I would have been glad seeing something like that at WM, only for the title. Brock adds legitimacy to the title, but him never being around to defend it negates that. This whole trend of part-timing is ruining the fact that WWE has no off-season, and has to build new stars to stay relevant. Attitude era succeeded because it wasn't latching onto the past. When 'taker got stale, he became ABA. When Mick Foley got old, he retired. People who gripe over their favorites isn't the issue, it's the lack of direction for TODAY'S stars and the future stars like Ziggler, Bryan, Ryback, etc. We WANT the new blood to have meaningful feuds and blow-off matches. What we get is the 'creative's got nothing for you' shoehorn into the ladder match or ATG battle royal. If people still moan because they're of the mindset that what they want needs to be met, they should get over themselves. Hashtagging something doesn't mean you have a right to it. I'd be fine seeing Bryan vs. HHH at Mania because the Bryan vs. Authority feud never ended properly. I still haven't been given true reason for Sting being here, or HHH's gripe besides 'vigilantism'. I think Brock's non-presence has hurt the main event. Taker being around hasn't hurt as much because he's never around anyway, and Bray's been trying his damndest. The agenda of the WWE is too clear. They want to please everyone, but they ignore the die-hard fanbase in doing so. That's how they lose a quarter of their WWE Network subscribers after the Rumble. That's how they got the YES Movement. You alienate your core group for long enough, and they become bitter.

If they were, they would've crapped on Roman Reigns greatly throughout the time period since the Rumble, they haven't, besides the hardcore fans, the reactions to Reigns have been really good. I really wish Mania would be able to be built around younger guys who had hunger and determination to make it the most it could be, but WWE won't do that, and as evidenced by Roman Reigns, the hardcore fan generally don't want that (again, unless it's their favourites which WWE may not have such high stocks in. It's an everlasting circle.)

It's an everlasting circle.) Young stars are just fine. From what I've read from most, besides the fact they think Cena will win, most the hardcore fans on here love the booking of Rusev vs. Cena. I do, too. The issue is we know Reigns ain't ready. The casual fans don't know who the hell he is, really. When I watch with my friends (who don't watch, ever) they just wanna mark for the Rock or Brock, or Sting, or Flair, because they've heard of them. To me, if you never make new Rocks, new Flairs, new Brocks, we'll be longing for Brock still 20 years from now, and that's pathetic. I'm not the type to say Bryan needs to be in every damn Mania main event until he's no longer the hottest commodity in the company, but look at WWF from like 1998-2004. Either Austin or the Rock (or both) were in the Mania main event EVERY YEAR. Because they knew what the hell they were doing.

Brock vs Rock Sting vs Undertaker Hogan vs Cena HBK vs Bryan Austin vs Goldberg Shield Triple Threat HHH vs Wyatt Nobody would want to see Austin vs Goldberg because Goldberg hasn't been relevant in like 10 years since he left lol Triple H vs Wyatt also would not in any way of form sell out Wrestlemania

Punk vs Austin Sting vs Taker HHH vs Rollins Roman vs Rock Cena vs Balor Brock vs Bryan
Fun with fantasy booking haha. But seriously, I'd easily pay a grand to see Punk vs Austin or for HBK to return, but neither will ever happen. I expect Mania 32 to be similar to what we're getting this year. If they can put Austin vs Cena together then I expect that to headline the show, and that will draw exceptionally well. I am rooting to see Sting and Taker face each other next year, or possibly at SummerSlam or Survivor Series, just anywhere really so that we get it. A year is a long way away though. I would honestly probably get on a plane and fly somewhere to see Sting vs Rollins or Rollins vs Balor as well.

I didn't want Austin to face Punk, because Punk said there was zero chance of him coming back. I toyed with the idea of having the 2 Man Power Trip explode, but was afraid no one would remember who that was. Both Austin and Goldberg were huge during the Monday Night Wars. Both are bald, have goatees, wear black trunks and black boots, and carried their respective brands. I've been waiting for this match for like forever!!! HHH vs Wyatt could be built around Wyatt terrorizing HHH's family Cape Fear style. It's money I tell you!!! $$$

Paige vs AJ vs Nikki vs Eva Vs Brie vs Summer in a bottomless pillow fight! Or... Roman vs Rock Brock vs Bryan Orton vs Wyatt Cena vs Sheamus Taker vs Sting Rollins vs Triple H I prefer topless or buck naked but I see where you're going with this. Dream match wise, I'd go with Austin/Punk and HBK/Bryan. If I could have that, I'd pay thousands to see Mania.

if we are talking about reasonable feasible situations & people who have said they still have atleast one more match in the tank (does that mean they are going to come back, but on the assumption they do) , I think they would need to atleast book in no specific order
rock/brock taker/sting Austin/Cena HBK/HHH Angle (he only signed a 1 yr deal w/ tna which ends in January 2016)/Bryan

I must be one of the few that has ZERO interest in Rock vs Brock II. I see NOTHING in it whatsoever.
