– With less than 6 weeks to go until WrestleMania 32, WWE is going to have a very difficult time selling out AT&T Stadium and drawing more than 100,000 fans to the venue. On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE has sold a lot of tickets for the show – but far less than 70,000. WWE doesn't deserve a sellout crowd - they haven't done a very good job of building this show. I realize that half their main event roster is on the DL list, but I still feel that they could have done a much better job & elevated some of the guys they've got (Wyatt, Owens, etc). And I also really thought they'd get somebody big to return for a match (Austin, HBK, Rock)? But so far, we don't even get that... Despite the injuries - this show could have been a great mix of rising stars & returning legends, but instead, it's just kind of..... there.... no "sizzle" as Jim Ross would say..... As it stands - there's nothing about WrestleMania 32 that excites me at the moment. They've still got some time, maybe that'll change.... |

Every Mania for the last 15 years has had a BIG marquee match to really sell the show on is no longer present for this event. I mean is Shane/Taker that big of a deal? What about Ambrose/Lesnar or Reigns/HHH? None of these matches scream "MUST SEE" for me. WM 31: Sting/HHH WM 30: Daniel Bryan & Taker/Brock WM 29: Rock/Cena, Taker/Punk WM 28: Taker/HHH, Y2J/Punk WM 27: HHH/Taker WM 26: HBK/Taker, Bret Hart's return WM 25: Taker/HBK, Orton/HHH WM 24: Flair/HBK, Edge/Taker, Mayweather/Show WM 23: B.O.B, Taker/Batista, Cena/HBK WM 22: HBK/VKM, HHH/Cena WM 21: Angle/HBK, Orton/Taker, Batista/HHH, JBL/Cena, MITB WM 20: Brock/Goldberg, Triple Threat, Eddie/Angle WM 19: Brock/Angle, Rock/Austin, VKM/Hogan, HHH/Booker, Y2J/HBK WM 18: Y2J/HHH, Rock/Hogan, Flair/Taker WM 17: Taker/HHH, Rock/Austin, Vince/Shane, TLC Anybody notice the trend of Mania used to be a mega card with a Triple or even a Quadruple Main Event, now we are lucky if we get one marquee matchup. I understand guys have been hurt this year but look at the decline of quality main events/attractions. I just don't think WWE is capable of putting great supercards together anymore. |

I don't see how you could discredit them for not getting one of those guys to return for a match. Austin and Michaels are happily retired without wanting to return and the Rock can't have a match due to filming. That's not on WWE. I'm sure they tried and failed. |

At this point WWE needs to close Wrestlemania with Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar as your official main event. Open with Reigns vs HHH and put Shane/Undertaker second to last.

The closer we get the more hyped in actually getting even if the card isn't sounding like hot fire. Can't help it.

I can almost guarantee Shane/Taker will top this. That match really wasn't that great. Especially considering the superior Edge/Foley match that happened earlier in the night. |

Whats sad is the ONLY match so far that has a big fight feeling/build is Ambrose/Lesnar. I mean, Youre building up your biggest PPV ever with the goal of the biggest audience in WWE history, but WWE is doing absolutely nothing to build up matches. Everything is just random thrown together matches with no substance. Its like they are just trying to fill a card.
Reigns/HHH should have happened at Fastlane. Any other year, this is what would happen after you lose your WWE title, You get your rematch at the next PPV. Nevermind the fact that the WHOLE reason HHH entered himself(and Vince&co attacked Reigns midmatch) in the RR is to get the belt off Reigns because they dont want him near the title. They hate him, Remember? Well look now, He is main eventing WM against HHH. This is one butchered ass storyline that makes no sense.
Shane/Taker really makes no sense at all. They just came out of absolute nowhere with this match and tried to sell it in a 10 min segment. This is something that should have had a big drawn out feud, Not something you just toss on your fans in a segment. Taker and Shane better be there the next 4 or 5 Raws building this feud because if they both just disappear until showtime, I'm going to laugh.

HHH Reigns excites me. How will they book it so he isn't booed by near 80k fans?
Ambrose/Lesnar will be Ambrose's Austin/Bret. Will make his career and take him to the next level.
Taker/Shane will be fun. Internet fans are relentless in terms of over analysing things, but it should be fun. The hope of Shane running Raw will get me more invested and the possibility of a insane spot is always awesome.

Im so not in WrestleMania spirits yet. Just feels like your basic PPV to be honest. Hopefully they can add some fuel to the fire in the coming weeks.

I'm just lukewarm about everything. Taker vs Shane has my attention, but that's because I think the angle could lead to something better post Mania. Brock vs Ambrose will be great I'm sure but there is nothing on the line. We all know how HHH vs Reigns is ending and that has taken me right out of the match already. I need the rest of the card to fill out. Lock in the triple threat for the Divas Title, do a gimmick match for the tag titles, confirm a great IC Title match. I'm just not feeling any of it right now, and lots of guys aren't even in feuds or stories at the moment. At this point, I'm more excited for the Raw after Mania than I am Mania, personally. |

More excited for TakeOver Dallas tbh. Already has a better build, and the matches are guaranteed to be off the chart. |

A Double, Nakamura, and the potential formation of the Balor Club. Throw in the Asuka factor and American Alpha chasing down the dream and NXT Dallas has way more to offer as a total package card. It's kind of not even close for me. |

I've been saying for months that they were going to need to comp 20,000 tickets to hit 100,000. Looking more like they'll need to comp 30,000+.

Just think that comping anywhere from 18-30,000 seats is basically the equivalent to giving free tickets for 2 Raw tapings. LOL. Crazy when you think about it, but is it? The prices for Mania tickets are absolutely bonkers. The 100 and 200 levels of the stadium are priced from $207-$354, I'm sorry but that is crazy WrestleMania or not. When I went to 23 I dropped $290 for 2 tickets in the 100 level dead center. My buddies and I had plans of going to Mania this year until we saw the prices for tickets, they would have cost more than flight and hotel lol. I think the low sells are mainly due to ticket prices. If you have ever been to Mania in a stadium, unless you are in risers it is not worth the price, especially with this card. |

LANA VS BRIE
With Rusev and With DB
Rusev gets in the ring and is about to slam Daniel Bryan. Brie gives him a low blow. Daniel gets up and slams him. Stunned Daniel takes the keys to his new car as the crowd chants YES. Brie asks Daniel where he wants to go?? Daniel says to start our family. Brie and Daniel get in the car and drive off in the Texas sunset never to be seen again.
