Why is wrestlemania 29 so expensive

Will it happen on Sunday? I doubt it. I think The Shield has to go over. The face team has established veterans who are going to be over no matter how many times they win or lose. That's why The Shield has to win, and it will. There are a lot of rumors heading into this match, too.

I don't think Orton turns heel here. However, I think something will happen in the finish of the match that leads to Orton as a heel on television in the weeks and months to come.

Perhaps Sheamus accidentally hits him, which leads to Orton snapping, and that could set up their rivalry. Of course, they could do the obvious thing with Show acting out against his partners since he's a heel. But I'm thinking it's Orton that will be the cause of defeat for his team. That means a win for The Shield, which is what really matters. Jack Swagger. I like both guys a lot, but I don't think the feud is working. I'm also worried about the crowd completely turning on the match, possibly even chanting for Ziggler during much of it to cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase and becoming the focal point of the show instead of the actual match.

Del Rio had a lot of crowd support in Florida and Texas when he first turned face. It's been a different story at shows in the Northeast like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Washington. The support isn't as strong. This WrestleMania crowd won't be much different.

If Swagger wins the title, that likely means the feud will continue, but I think the way the story has been told would mean a Del Rio win because he has to avenge the broken ankle of his friend Ricardo Rodriguez.

That's what babyfaces do. I don't think the story has the legs to carry on for another PPV considering that Extreme Rules is in mid-May this year. They'll probably have a solid minute match that will be pretty good but not great. Again, the crowd heat may not be as strong as WWE would like and that will hurt things a bit.

I expect Del Rio to show the heart of a babyface to win the match. He'll also have the Tag titles with Langston. I also think AJ Lee could be Divas champion soon, so that's a lot of gold for that trio.

Coming out of this show, I think a lot of people will be talking about Ziggler. And that's a great thing if it happens. Brock Lesnar.

I think this has the potential to be the match of the night. The No Holds Barred stipulation will definitely help it, and I expect it to be better than their match at SummerSlam was.

That's the right setting for any Lesnar match. Fans don't want to see him applying rest holds in a regular match. He's a brawler, so let him do what he does. Triple H is also very good in that kind of situation. That's why I have high hopes for it. Since there are already other big babyface winners on the card, I would love to see Lesnar walk out of this one as the victor. Do I expect it? I think Triple H winning is very predictable because he has to avenge what Lesnar did to Hunter's father-in-law, Vince McMahon, when he "broke his hip" on Raw a month ago.

I also don't think there's any need for Hunter to retire in his early 40s when he's playing a major role in the company. He's a part-timer that will continue to wrestle a couple of times per year. I'm OK with that. I don't think it's a necessary addition, but I see it as a situation where Michaels hits Paul Heyman with a superkick at some point to keep him from interfering in the match. That will ultimately set up the victory for Triple H. They'll probably get minutes, Lesnar will dominate a majority of it and Hunter may even kick out of an F5 in a memorable spot because it's not like a lot of people have kicked out of that move before.

It will be a great near-fall spot late in the match. Like I said, though, a Triple H win is very likely. If it doesn't happen, I'd be very surprised. First of all, it should be noted that this past Thursday on Twitter, CM Punk stated that Living Colour would sing "Cult of Personality" for his entrance at WrestleMania, so that will be an awesome experience. I think Undertaker winning this match is the biggest lock of the event. It's a sure thing. I think before the death of Paul Bearer that it was a sure thing, too.

But after that happened and they used it as part of an angle, it's an even bigger lock, in my opinion. Of course, I'm sure there are some of you reading this thinking there's still a chance Undertaker could lose. I really don't see it happening. The build for the match has been pretty good. It's the first WrestleMania in five years where Undertaker is in a babyface vs.

I expect it to be an excellent matchup because when it comes to Undertaker matches at WrestleMania, he's delivered great ones every year.

Punk is an elite talent who has proven to be the best in the world the last couple of years, so I expect a great performance out of him on Sunday. Remember, Punk has an arm injury that has kept him out of the ring in the past month. I think he'll be able to fight through it during the match, but it is worth keeping an eye on. Related Posts.

Steve Riddle. WWE presented their biggest event of the year tonight in front of more than 80, live fans and millions around the world. Here are the top five failures that account for WrestleMania 29 being an extremely disappointing event. Not counting the performance by Diddy, because the awfulness of that performance speaks for itself.

The entire backstory of the six-man tag team match between The Shield and the team of Randy Orton , Sheamus and Big Show was that fans did not know if Big Show could coexist with his fan-favorite partners. Creatively, The Shield was correct to go over with the win. The members need it to further their careers. However, the Big Show heel turn at the end of match serves no purpose. Randy Orton and Sheamus are plodding along within their current roles in WWE as fan favorites who are no longer Championship contenders on a regular basis.

A heel turn of Orton or Sheamus would have made much more sense and served to further the career of a younger star. He dominated superstars on Monday Night Raw week in and week out. His opponent was Mark Henry, an established veteran on the cusp of retirement.

So how does WWE end the match? Shame on the booking team for making Ryback take a backseat to Henry. Even if they have a rematch next month where Ryback is victorious, no one will remember.
