It better be good. This has been the worst buildup to a Wrestlemania I have ever seen.

It sure has, man. Even though the event itself wasn't that great, the buildup to last year's WM was fantastic.

You had the Streak vs. Career with HBK and Taker
You had the Cena/Batista feud over the WWE title
You had the Edge/Jericho feud over the WHC
Also the Punk/Rey feud had a sweet buildup
The awesome program with Triple H and Sheamus
The Legacy breakup and Orton face turn
The return of Bret Hart
The MitB match for the guys not in feuds...

This year's buildup has been lame as hell in comparison.

I wasn't crazy about Batista/Cena at all, and the Jericho/Edge buildup could have been better, but man.....what the hell. It's like they're not even trying. Like the expect the Rock to sell PPVs. Partly why I'm not crazy about him being involved as much. Lazy.

I thought Batista was solid gold during that whole feud actually.

There's a reason he was called Blahtista. I couldn't get behind anything the guy did. Just a total wash for me. He was better definitely, but still so horribly uninteresting to me.

Different strokes, I guess.

I'll be in the house tonight!! I've been wanting them to hold off on the Rock-Cena(-Miz) face to face until Chicago and they didn't disappoint!. I'm expecting a lot of Cena and Miz heat and much love for the Rock from the crowd. My girl and I will both be decked out in Miz gear (thanks to WWE's 50% off sale) cheering the Miz. I'll cheer the Rock or Cena if they "win me over" on the mic (which they've both done at certain points during this "feud"). So excited!!

We also have the Trips-Taker face-to face. [Sarcasm]Finally... they get to say the same promos they have been saying for weeks to one another's faces!! How exciting! [/sarcasm].

I've known the main event for some time, but will put it in spoiler tags obviously. Click at your own risk.

Cena/HHH/Edge/Orton vs. Punk/Barrett/Del Rio/Miz

I absolutely loved heel Batista. He was awesome as the bully/primadonna hybrid character they gave him. He was VERY underrated. He had been boring and stale for so long, that a lot pf people had residual hate from his old "character" and never really gave him a chance. I thought he was brilliant with the new direction.
