They’ve got too much talent on the roster for their own good.

That's a bittersweet thing about the way they do things nowadays. It's like if you're an NBA team. Would you rather have a good starting 5 and a deep bench, or a starting 5 filled with superstars and a weak bench?

It's nice to have depth, but the superstars are what draws alot more.

And yet no one gets the chance to put on a longer epic match, because everyone has to have a spot. It takes away from the show, to me.

Perfect WM results for me would be:
-Rollins wins Universal Title
-Kofi walks out WWE Champ
-Becky wins Raw Womens title
-Kurt Angle wins final match(I'm hoping vs Joe and/or Cena) and we get that HBK/Flair like farewell post match (even Raw after WM, we NEED to have an actual Angle retirement ceremony. He's deserved it)


And another thing which should happen with all the superstars on the roster is giving the battle royal winners a title match. Maybe on PPV if they want(especially since there's no more automatic rematch clauses), but even a TV world title match would be great.

It seems like whatever spot you’re in when you get brought in is your ceiling. Long gone are the days of guys like Bret and Hbk getting started in tag teams, breaking off in to singles and establishing themselves until winning the IC title and then working their way in to the WWE title picture

That's partially what has made me not as interested in NXT anymore. Hated watching superstar after superstar called to main roster and not coming anywhere close to their NXT potential. If I don't know their potential beforehand, can't be as upset when booked poorly on main roster.

Don't want to jinx it, but I really feel like this years WM could be an all time classic.

All depends on results more than anything. If Lesnar, not Becky, and others like that walk out winners, it'll suck.

I get what you mean, but man WWE has managed expectations so low that simply having the most over wrestlers go over is enough for people to consider a Wrestlemania "classic."

Match quality doesn't matter as long as they aren't pushing failed babyfaces, and other dumb narratives down the fans thoughts against their will.
