To be fair, recent WrestleMania’s have been absolutely fantastic. All fans need to do is watch him get suplexed by Kurt Angle into a glass wall or when he dived off the Titantron onto Big Show in a last man standing match.

WWE WrestleMania 32 is a big one with Roman Reigns challenging Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship, while Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar will battle it out in a no holds barred match. That’s good as at least folks are talking about the match and the event more, or so it seems.
The Undertaker is synonymous with WrestleMania, he has only lost once at The Showcase of the Immortals, to Brock Lesnar back at WrestleMania 30 in 2014.
“Loved seeing the beloved, grizzled veteran Terry Funk on RAW as he gave Dean Ambrose a helluva “rub” just as Mick Foley did earlier”. It would be even cooler if WWE ditched the whole PG thing for a night and let Dean actually use some of the old school weapons.
Since Shane wants to run Raw, Vince McMahon has set a condition that his son has to win a match where the opponent will be of his choosing: The Undertaker. Prime example is losing to Fandango back at Mania 29 as a favor to Vince McMahon, who saw big things in the ballroom dancer gimmick.
Since The Streak was ended a few years ago at the hand of Brock Lesnar, higher stakes had to be made to make sure the Phenom defeated Shane. Also, a major stipulation was added to the Hell in a Cell Match between Shane McMahon and The Undertaker.
“Will Undertaker defeat Shane?” Kevin Owens, the Intercontinental Champion, will defend the belt in the match against Sami Zayn, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Stardust, Zack Ryder, and Sin Cara.
Kevin Owens came to the ring later on during RAW to introduce the participants, but he swerved the crowd and announced Sin Cara, Ryder and Stardust instead of the expected trio of Miz, Ziggler, and Zayn.
AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho is one of the matches that should be fun. In fact, it might be a little bit overstuffed, because the WON is reporting in their daily update that WWE has been asking pay-per-view providers for more time than the FOUR HOURS they’ve already been allotted.
Now this may not be as much of a “classic” as many of those that followed but this was the match that started it all.
The rest of the card flat out sucks. The match was considered to be ahead of its time, and both the superstars received rave reviews.
The New Day beat Usos and Dudley Boyz in a Triple Threat.
What do you think of the Ladder Match? Well, make that six of them. Hopefully we get some wild ending to the main event; and hopefully Undertaker vs. Shane breaks down into chaos.

Though Sting has declined to officially declare himself retired, his only action during WrestleMania weekend will see him accept the WWE’s greatest honor on April 2 in Texas. So I’m thinking, as long as I’m feeling good, why am I going to do anything? Right? I’m lowering my expectations and hoping I’m pleasantly surprised.
