Fixing Mania, Part I

Over the next three days, we’re going to take a look at three dream cards for this year’s WrestleMania, each from a different author.  Now, the Road to WrestleMania is already underway, and the card has begun to take form.  After last night’s Raw, the direction in which the company is heading has been dictated.  We are not writing about what we think the card WILL look like.  These features are about how the card WOULD HAVE looked like, had it been up to us.  So, without further adieu, our first WrestleMania 27 dream card comes from new contributor Frank Aquilino, better known around these parts as Frak…

How to fix Mania…Cause it needs fixing.

So with the Elimination Chamber behind us, the WrestleMania card is starting to shape up.  Here’s a look at the preliminary Mania card….

WWE Championship Match: The Miz Vs John Cena
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge vs. John Bradshaw Del Rio (hehehe)
Orton vs. CM Punk
Whoever the Undertaker is going to beat.
The Money In the Bank crap show.

Aside from Orton vs. Punk, the card looks pretty weak.  Why?  Because it doesn’t include the Rock!!  In a perfect world, John Morrison would have won the Raw Chamber match.  This would leave John Cena to face the Rock, which every fan wants to see.  It then allows for Miz to face John Morrison.  Do I need to remind you that these two made up one of the best tag teams of the last ten years, they are both entering their primes, and they had a great falls count anywhere match on Raw a few months ago.  And I know what you’re thinking.  “But Frak, Miz and Morrison aren’t ready to headline Wrestlemania LOLZ ROFLMAO”  Good point, but allow me to retort.  1. You’re an idiot.  2.  The headline of  Wrestlemania is Rock vs. Cena!  It doesn’t matter if Miz and Morrison have a bore-fest (which they wouldn’t ).  You have a dream match on the card!  You could have Mark Henry vs. the Great Khali in an Iron Man Match and no one would care so long as Cena/Rock delivers.  That settles that.  The rest of the card after the jump.

And now to save Smackdown.  This one is painfully easy.  Its been rumored that Edge is nearing the end of his career.  He’s been in the WWE since 97, has made his money, and has been through some serious injuries.  Its time to put someone else over…and it SHOULD NOT be Del Rio.  He’s solid in the ring, and has some average mic skills, but by my count, he’s only been in the WWE for 46 days.  He’s not ready to headline Mania, let alone be a world champion.  If Del Rio wins at Mania, you’re going to hear a collective yawn from everyone watching.  Actually its only a yawn, so you might not hear anything…

So, to fix this, have Del Rio lose his shot at Mania to the returning Christian!  Christian has busted his ass in the WWE since 97, and left because he wasn’t getting the push he deserved.  He went to NWA TNA, became a two time world champion and one of the biggest stars in the company.  Christian has always been a top performer in whatever brand he was in, both in the ring and on the mic.  And the fans LOVE him.  He’s been treated like crap ever since his return to the WWE (remember his lame entrance with no hype, but he did hold the “prestigious” ECW title).  But that can be solved if he continues his feud with Del Rio and takes his spot at Mania.  This gives us the members of arguably the greatest tag team ever headlining WrestleMania for a world title.  Christian wins, becomes the top face as he deserves, and everyone is happy.  Del Rio can then go to the Money in the Bank or whatever.

So, my dream Mania card is as follows.

Rock Vs Cena
WWE Championship: The Miz vs. Morrison
World Heavyweight title: Edge vs. Christian
Orton vs. CM Punk

It doesn’t matter if the rest of the card is a Diva battle royal, that’s the best Mania of all time hands down.

Oh and we will also have Undertaker vs. Sting.

Goodbye!!!
