I might also do the "No Bones Blows" and "Spin Dash Crash"
so is your entrance theme song gonna be the "neo geo song" or the "tiny tunes (dreamcast 2)"?

Ah. I thought of one that is actually a tad clever.

The Belmont Whip.

Swanton Bomb off the top ropes, (or ladder...whatever,) but you have to yell, "Assassin's Creed!" while doing it.

I'm feeling a little more excited for Wrestlemania after the go-home show. Rock/Cena got back to the same promo they did three weeks ago, which is good, except what a waste of build-time in between.

With all the angles except the GM match, they seemed to finish the build weeks ago, leaving the last couple shows to underwhelm folks. There is also the point around how most of the main event matches have been built around talking, with no physical contact. I'm okay with this actually, but again, when you're done building weeks ago, then it gets very boring.

Disappointed Christian won't be in the match (his entrance live is great), but good with Booker T on the other side. Drew McIntyre? Eh - is that match elimination rules or one fall to a finish?

One fall finish, sadly. I have a feeling this match will be pretty short.

Yeah, most likely a fast-paced 6-8 minute match. Intros will take up most of the time (unless they go by team , which would actually make sense).

Oh, and Michael Cole is a moron for saying "This will be Miz's Wrestlemania moment!" at the news of him joining the heel team. I guess it's his Wrestlemania 28 moment.

So, which of the 4 main events(not sure how that even makes sense) ends the show?

Rock/Cena?

Yeah I think it will be:

Sheamus/Bryan (possibly first like the Edge/ADR match last year?)

To end:

Punk/Jericho
Hell in a Cell
Women's match/piss break
Cena/Rock

Saw today that the thunderstorms originally pegged for Sunday night have been pushed off for Monday so Fri-Sat-Sun should be 83/84 and sunny.

I'm getting more geared up for the trip to Miami. Going to watch DVDs most of Thursday while I work from home.
