WWE: Wrestlemania 33 Discussion, Predictions, Fantasy Cards

[Sheppy]

Where are you sitting? Anything I should know about this venue? As for the tickets themselves I'm assuming you did the pre-sale?

Is the fan fest free with a WM ticket or a separate cost?

We did do the pre-sale, we're sitting in the section 122 risers. Pretty pumped on those seats to be honest. $267 USD is what they ended up costing us.

As for the venue, i really have no idea... all i know is that it's outdoors, will have some pillars around the ring (could obstruct some views from the corners)

RAW/SD combo tickets go on sale next monday (28th) - I'll be grabbing 5 of those as well.

As for fan fest, i don't think that it is. By fan fest do you mean like Axxess? It comes with the wrestlemania package if you go that route, otherwise it's $50 to attend.

I'm a newb when it comes to all the events, but I'm specifically referring to the meet & greets, autograph signings, etc... seemed like there was a Fan Fest of sorts, don't know that its exactly called that.

Yeah, i think i know what you're talking about. It's now called "Fan Axxess" - You can meet certain wrestlers during certain sessions. It's pretty damn cool actually, i met Seth Rollins and Ryback during WM 30. They'll announce who will be appearing leading up to WM33...

For example, session 1: Friday, 5pm-8pm (Bayley, Enzo & Cass, The Miz, Rusev & Lana) - There's probably 8-10 sessions over the weekend.

You'll have a chance to meet any of the people who aren't VIP meet and greets. Guy's like Aj Styles, Undertaker, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Charlotte & Ric will likely be VIP. They'll toss some legends into the mix too.

How/where do I get more info on the VIP? I'm assuming there is an extra cost that gives you access to those guys as well??

Yeah, VIP is much more pricey. It's over $100, I believe.

Here's a look at last years...

[BonMorrison]

Just tried building a fantasy card and it's impossible. Wrestlemania has never had more than eleven matches on it's main card in the modern era and even with putting three matches on the pre-show, you still can't fit so many of the important wrestlers from both shows on the card. They're gonna have title matches in the pre-show, some absurd multi-man tag matches - it's gonna be a cluster****,

Get ready for the most star-studded Andre the Giant Battle Royal ever.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yeah I'm expecting at least one tag title match on the pre-show, probably both, plus a woman's match and the battle royal. It'll probably be a 7-hour show.

***

-- WWE World Title: AJ Styles vs. The Undertaker.
-- Universal Title: Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor.
-- Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg.
-- Triple H vs. Seth Rollins.
-- Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt.
-- John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose.
-- U.S. Title: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman.
-- IC Title: The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kalisto vs. Baron Corbin vs. Kane vs. Cesaro/Zayn in a Ladder match.
-- Big Show vs. Shaquille O'Neal.
-- Raw Women's Title: Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks.
-- SD Women's Title: Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella.

And then after that both tag titles on the pre-show plus the battle royal.

 

[Sheppy]

That's not too bad of a card on paper. I'd be happy with that...

 

[BonMorrison]

When was the last time WWE had every title defended at Wrestlemania - especially during the last brand split? I expect at least one of them to be sacrificed, I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed over Becky (or Bliss, whoever the champ is at the time) and put the Smackdown champion in some sort of six woman tag team match. Charlotte is 100% getting the Raw Women's Championship match so we can kill the Sasha Banks vs. Bayley one-on-one fantasy, I'm fine with a triple threat though. Wouldn't be surprised if they made it Charlotte vs. Dana though.

I think the big story that they will use for that match will be Charlotte's PPV streak which will end at Mania this year.

 

[BonMorrison]

If Taker/Cena isn't happening, I love Ambrose/Cena - they had a a lot of intense chemistry during that triple threat feud.

 

[GKJ]

Cena was just pissed off at him the whole time though

That's why it was good, we didn't get goofy not-take-his-opponents-seriously Cena.

 

[Blueblood9]

I'm thinking taker comes back and takes the title from styles at the rumble and Cena takes it and retires taker at wm. Gives Cena his big moment at wm

 

[BonMorrison]

This definitely crossed my mind as well and I'm leaning towards this. Retire Taker and get the 16th title reign.

My card (which is twelve main card matches ) - in order of airing:

Pre-show

WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match
American Alpha (c) vs. The Revival

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

[Sheppy]

Do you give Cena his big moment and have Taker lose in his last match? Its a tough one, i can understand both parts.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I think it depends on how long Taker plans on keeping going.

If you can actually figure out if he's going to hang em up after this Mania? Then yes. Even if he loses, that's still a hell of a moment to be a part of to add on to an already impressive legacy.

Otherwise? I don't think you book it. Him losing the Cena should be the end. Similar to how Flair was "retired" by HBK (TNA run never happened), who was then retired by Taker himself. Little bit of continuity.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The current rumour is Taker vs. Styles at Wrestlemania for the title.

That's why it was good, we didn't get goofy not-take-his-opponents-seriously Cena.

Plus, Ambrose was such in his interactions with Cena during that program.

 

[BonMorrison]

Wait a second, since when could we post emojis on here?

THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

If you post from your phone you can post emojis whenever bruh ️

 

[ColePens]

I am 100000000% down with that. It is fitting. Cena gets his moment and gets out of the ring.. taker walks off. Done. Move on.

AJ/Nakamura opens the show. Kills it. AJ chases Cena because AJ has his number.

Mania this year is going to be

Depends on whether the belt is involved too. I think you put Taker over in a non-title match

 

[GKJ]

It's not like Cena is the only option to retire the Undertaker

 

[The Gongshow]

This definitely crossed my mind as well and I'm leaning towards this. Retire Taker and get the 16th title reign.

WWE Universal Championship Match
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Finn Balor

WWE World Championship Match
The Undertaker (c) vs. John Cena

Sad thing is that besides AJ/Nakamura.. Revival vs AA would most likely be the match of the night and not even be on the main card. Thats the thing that bugs me about part timers taking up spots on the card like HHH, Taker, Goldberg this year. etc etc

 

[M.C.G. 31]
