Very Clearly it will be HHH vs Cena

I agree, I don't think the others currently have enough heat to make the match intense.

Nor, it's not that they don't have the heat needed. Because Jeff Hardy is the most over thing in the WWE right now, and has been for several months.
But it's because that's what Vince Wants.

This is why WWE needs a ranking system.
If you look at this Match (being the EC) Logically it should only be one person who wins this match in my mind:
Chris Jericho.
Orton has already beat HBK, HHH, & Hardy, but Y2J actually won his match against Orton.
JBL and Umaga are heels, and there is no way they're going to do a heel/heel main event at WM.
If Cena wins, It's not even worth ordering WM to begin with, since He would logically face HHH. since HBK/Cena was last year, and HHH/Cena was the year before that. But why not do HHH/Cena.
If anyone has a shred of sense in the back offices of WWE, Orton will beat Cena and Jericho will win the EC.
But that's asking WAY TOO MUCH.

Wouldn't it make sense to have Y2J vs Cena? As wasn't it the match with Cena that got him "fired"?
Although, I'd rather see Jericho/Orton, as then I'd have more hope that Y2J would win.
They're not really opinions thats what I'd like to see. But only if Jericho beat Cena :-p I'd mark for years.

Triple H is fairly high on Jeff. He loves the way Jeff always gets the job done. Jeff always makes himself, along with his opponent, no matter who it is, look good. Triple H thinks that is the true way of a champion, and I agree. No matter who it is that Jeff faces, he always makes it one hell of a match, even with Umaga who has NO talent whatsoever, and only has a ride as Umaga because the Jamal character was snuffed when Rosie left, and the fact that he is Samoan and is related to Rocky, Afa, Siki, Fatu, and so on. With the injury bug biting the WWE all year, since after Wrestlemania last year, all of their plans have been re-routed. At this years Wrestlemania, it was supposed to be Kennedy verses Triple H. When Kennedy got hurt, and screwed out of the Money in the Bank breifcase (due to an injury that was a bogus call), they gave the title to Edge.
Think about it... This year, the WWE has lost either to retirement or injury RVD, HBK, Undertaker, Edge, Cena, Triple H, Kennedy, and Matt Hardy. All of these guys could make it in the main event of any contest, and have been the marquee attraction for various events.
When you have all of these guys coming back in the middle of story lines, you want to get them back into the frey quite quickly. So, you change things around. Boy do I miss the days when even though you were injured, you were still on the show.
Remember when Stone Cold broke his neck the first time against Owen Hart? He was gone for A WEEK! lol.

Umaga is a poor worker? I have to disagree for a man his size he's a damn good worker, if you dont think so you should check out his work over in japan as Jamal.

If I'm being honest I can see the main event at the PPV being HHH vs Orton/Cena, either way it would be a good match and have a good build up. I don't see JBL or Jericho being there as WWE have kinda got cold feet on Jericho, JBL is just returning to the ring and needs to build himself up. HBK is a possibility but I can't see it to be honest. As for Umaga I can't see that, he's still a good worker but not a world champ. Jeff Hardy for me though he puts on great matches, is kinda bland on the mic, same problem with Matt Hardy, over with the crowd, puts on good matches, but is not very good promo wise on the mic. He might have some ability but when you compare that to a HHH or even John Cena its not in the same league.
So that leaves HHH as the legit challenger, and though he is high on Jeff Hardy I can't see anyone but HHH winning that match and going on to face Cena or Orton. As he could challenge both, as he could be the face whilst Orton is the heel or he can go heel whilst Cena is the face or vice versa. Or not even both what alignment either are. I suppose Hardy could do it, but I just don't see him as a legit world champion...he's good and I enjoy his matches but I just can't see it.

See, although all the websites say it's going to be HHH v. Cena because HHH wants to feud with him, I think that HHH moreso wants to be a heel. He loves working as a heel, because, well, he is 10 times better working as one. I'd love to see him lose to Hardy again in the EC, setting up Hardy/Orton or Hardy/Cena at WM where the crowd would be 100% behind Hardy either way. Then have HHH start his heel turn, lose to Cena or Umage at WM where he just snaps and goes all out heel. If Hardy wins at WM, then setting up a Hardy/HHH feud for the summer, especially with their history, would be awesome.
However, HHH v. Cena for the title is most likely, with Cena going over...again.

I'm not sure, WWE changes things around EVERYDAY. I would much rather see Trips beat up on Orton, but I don't think Orton could ever deserve the Main event at Mania. It's more than likely that it is going to be HHH vs. Cena, with HBK, Orton and Hardy getting into Money in the Bank. And don't be surprised to see Mr. Kennedy retire Flair at Mania as well.

If Kennedy retirs Flair at Mania that be a launch for his career.
Hardy will win MITB.

No, if he retired the most prolific champion of all-time. The man who retires Flair is someone WWE wants to be a champion one day, which they want for Kennedy anyways since he won MITB at WM23.

Think about all the punishment the guy has taken through the years, all those matches with Terry Funk and co. All the times we've seen him beaten bloody must have taken a huge affect on how he looks. Mind you he's in a lot better shape than the 50 odd years I see walking around uni and town...
Still if Kennedy retires Flair that will be a highlight of his career.

Kinda like leather but hey he's old and a legend. But still I've just been reading a rumour that WWE want to run a incest storyline between PauL Burchill and some gal from OVW. Just wondering what peopel think about that? I think its a step too far really as correct me if I'm wrong here but incest in America is illegal and can go to jail for it...  |

Vince has been wanting to do a incest storyline for years now, he even wanted to be the father of Steph's baby (who my sister has ment on a few times, she works at babies r us and they have a house in boca raton fla, she's ment steph, linda, shane, and the baby. steph looks HORIBLE with out makeup) she nixed that idea, then he wanted shane to be the father, she nixed that also. Paul I'm sure just wants to be on tv again so he'll do whatever it takes ride this storm out and hopefully get a push out of it.
