Pro Wrestling Blog: Why Get Excited For WWE WrestleMania 27?

I am attending WreslteMania 27 this year in Atlanta and should be excited about it right? Well unfortunately, I am not.

Don't get me wrong, there is a certain excitement by default that comes from participating in an event with a history such as WrestleMania. The week long activities and my dad attending with me are also part of this excitement by default concept.

Once the bell rings and the action starts is what I'm talking about though. I know that I will not see anything much different from what I see on WWE television every week, which is the reason I can't get excited. Ok, so the matches are longer. To that I say big deal because all it means is that we will get longer versions of the same non psychology having, non storytelling matches seen every week.

The fundamental problem is that we see so much of the same stars each and every week on WWE television that it leaves no room to get excited. We will see John Cena beat the Miz in a match in which both guys will use the same sequence of moves seen a million times already!

In fact, Miz will only win if McMahon the need to swerve us fans. As far as using psychology and in ring, physical storytelling to create legit speculation as to who will actually win, forget about it.

The same will be for all the other matches too. Each wrestler will do their same sequence of moves, there will be some close falls, and then the match will be over. Same old stuff.

Last but not least, the booking for the Cena vs. Miz match has been unsuccessful and I am just not interested in seeing these guys fight. Rock's involvement in the feud and Cena's weak, comedic promos regarding the actual match itself have collectively branded the Miz as an inconsequential, not to be taken seriously champion, and as a result I will not be taking this match seriously.

In closing I just want to ask why get excited for WrestleMania 27? Except for the Lawler vs. Cole match, none of the matches have any kind of real heat. In fact, I can count on both hands the number of WrestleMania main event matches in the last 15 years that have had real heat going into them: Austin vs. Rock, Rock vs. Hogan, McMahon vs. Hogan, Cena vs. HHH, and Undertaker vs. Michaels. All other WrestleMania main event matches have had "manufactured heat" at best, and have been forgettable.
