Despite a slight lack of enthusiasm about the overall card, I\u2019m counting down the days and annoying the non-wrestling fans around me by mentioning WrestleMania too often. While I\u2019m not going to be in Orlando this year, I still cannot wait to gorge myself on way too much wrestling over the coming weekend. What confounds me, as I look at WrestleMania weekend, is the two least compelling matches: The Universal Championship and WWE Championship matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a ton of commonalities with these two matches. Both were prominently featured in the closing moments of Raw and Smackdown this week and both of those segments made me want to see them less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Smackdown, Randy Orton returned to the place where Bray Wyatt rubbed himself down with his santanic sister\u2019s ashes when Wyatt returned to the place that Orton burned to the ground after exhuming a body where Wyatt used a shed for rocking chair storage. Yeah, this whole \u201cshed burning\u201d doesn\u2019t light my fire either. Orton returned to this place with some sort of magic sword symbol to dig into the ground. What the hell is all of this? Who likes this? Who wants this? Orton and Wyatt would be a fine match without all the burning and grave digging and ash rub downs. Is this feud featuring arson and desecration of graves aimed at kids? That seems weird.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Raw, Paul Heyman did the talking, Brock Lesnar did the bouncing, and Goldberg did the walking. This was the whole segment. Heyman may be the best thing about this feud, but I haven\u2019t found myself enamoured with his promos. I don\u2019t particularly care about the \u201cHow Brock Got His Groove Back\u201d elements of this story. Brock Lesnar\u2019s groove has never been my concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bruce Mitchell at PWTorch.com has frequently called Goldberg a comet. He burns bright and then falls quickly to earth. On Raw, I saw proof that he has fallen already. WrestleMania could be a rough night for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are the two title matches so uninspiring? Often fans deride the idea of championships being props, but that\u2019s exactly what they are. They should be props endowed with meaning. In this case, they are props endowed with the idea that you are the best when you win them. This isn\u2019t what Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton are fighting to prove. This isn\u2019t the culmination of a journey. This isn\u2019t a major moment. This is just another day to bounce, walk slowly backstage, burn down a shed, or rub one\u2019s face with burnt up body chips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the other matches at WrestleMania 33 seem to have a hook, be it a long-term fed for Jericho and Owens, a new elimination stipulation for the Raw women, the battle of yard-ownership for Reigns and Undertaker, or the fun drama of John Cena and Nikki Bella vs. Miz and Maryse. These matches have hooks. These matches have stories. These matches make sense. For the two top title matches, we are not living a history-making story. We are simply hoping to get through it to the other side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now for some random thoughts:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; While I don\u2019t love the title matches, I\u2019m getting excited for this WrestleMania card. Triple H vs. Seth Rollins was built up really well over the last month. Shane McMahon vs. AJ Styles should be a fun spectacle.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-2678618259\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I guess I was premature in celebrating WWE breaking the record for matches involving women at WrestleMania a couple weeks ago. It\u2019s frustrating to see the Smackdown women relegated to the pre-show once again. They have a talented and compelling roster that deserves to be on the actual WrestleMania show. The pre-show is not WrestleMania. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2017\/03\/08\/pruetts-pause-wwe-smackdown-live-celebrating-international-womens-day-looking-smackdowns-womens-championship-match-wrestlemania-history-women-wres\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more on the startling sexism of WrestleMania history, check out my Pause from a couple weeks ago<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Undertaker and Roman Reigns has had a classic Undertaker WrestleMania build, complete with digging. This match has been speculated about as the WrestleMania closer and I really like that idea. It\u2019s not just that the title matches are bad. Fans care about Undertaker. Fans care about Roman Reigns. This match will have the most emotional investment of any match on the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I was happy to see the first 30 minutes of Raw dedicated to the Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax elimination match. I\u2019m not happy to not have a one-on-one feud for either Women\u2019s Championship, but such is life. This should be a great match and I\u2019m hoping WWE gives it the time it deserves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The Total Bellas segments from Miz and Maryse have been really fun. I\u2019m all about this mixed tag at WrestleMania. It honestly might be the best built match on the entire card. Add in the possibility of John Cena proposing at the end and I\u2019ll definitely be hanging on every moment of this WrestleMania match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Could anything yell \u201cThe Hardys are coming\u201d more than adding a ladder stipulation to the Raw Tag Title match? I\u2019m about this. WrestleMania has suffered in the recent years it hasn\u2019t had a major ladder spectacle. It\u2019s an annual tradition. I am also all about Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy showing up, no matter what form they\u2019re in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Naomi\u2019s return on Smackdown was gosh dang delightful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Was anyone else surprised to hear Shane McMahon vs. AJ Styles was a regular match? This startled me. What can Shane fall from in a regular match? How will this play out? I\u2019m still confident in the ability of Styles to make Shane look awesome (Shane is awesome). I\u2019m still looking forward to this match, but I would be more about a \u201cfalling off of tall things\u201d match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The \u2018Dre looks packed this year and the brand split has given us more potential winners. I like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I\u2019m bummed about Austin Aries and Neville being on the WrestleMania pre-show, but I\u2019m convinced they\u2019ll kill it no matter what. This will be a fun match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; There was a Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens match in the main event of Raw and it seemed like no one cared. I know the show is a marathon, but this was sad. Add in Sami\u2019s Raw career being on the line and I can\u2019t help but be disappointed.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-4026097670\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; A lot happened on these shows and I doubt I\u2019m covering all of it.
