Wrestlemania XXVII 3D

It's being reported that Vince McMahon wants Wrestlemania XXVIIto break One Million PPV buys. Now looking at how Wrestlemania is currently shaping up I'd say it probably won't happen. That's due to a couple different factors, one of which is the lack of star power wrestling at the event. But I can think of a couple of things that might help his cause a bit.

The first is in the title of this blog. I heard rumors a month or two ago that WWE was considering showing Wrestlemania in theatres, and that it might be shown in 3D. IMO, I think this would be a good idea for a couple of reasons.1)3D is an on-going craze right now, the WWE might want to take advantage of it while they can; and 2)It would give those who attend the feeling that they're at the show itself, which would make for an exciting experience.

The second and most important is to pay the Rock what ever he wants to get him to wrestle John Cena. As much as I love the back and forth between the two on the mic, it would ultimately be wasted if it didn't result in a match between the two. Some have suggested that this match be saved for Wrestlemania XXVIII, which will take place in Rock's hometown of Miami. I don't have a problem with that at all. However, if Vince wants this year's Mania to break a million buys this would be the match do it. Undertaker/HHH is an alright match, but unlike Rock/Cena it's been done before. Think of this it's been 7 years since the Rock had his last match, so obviously there would be a lot of anticipation if Rock were to have a farewell match against WWE's Golden boy John Cena. Compare that to the top Mania matches thus far Undertaker/HHH, Cena/Miz, and Edge/Alberto Del Rios. None of those even comes close to bringing the spectacle to Wrestlemania that Rock/Cena would. Remember Wrestlemania XVIII, the main-event was HHH/Jericho yet that Mania will always be remembered for Hogan/Rock. The same could happen this year if Vince could only get Rock on board with it. If the Rock truly loved WWE and it's fans he would do this. If not then I guess Cena was right about Rock all along. That he never loved WWE and only used it as a stepping stone to become a Hollywood movie star.

So in summary, if WWE wants a million buys(+) they should do Rock/Cena and show Wrestlemania XXVII in select theatres in 3D. Both those would build Wrestlemania up as a can't miss event. Of course having a decent undercard wouldn't hurt either. As of right now with the way things stand I'm not sure if I'll be ordering this year's Wrestlemania. And I've ordered Mania every year since my first Mania in 2000. Hopefully WWE can turn things around and make it worth ordering. Time will tell.

Until Next Time,
