    Wrestlemania is just a few days away. Are you excited for WM35? Which are the top three matches you're looking forward to? Do you think you'll watch all of it, if not most of it?

    Somewhat excited, although I think it is too long. Looking forward to Kofi, the women’s main event if I can stay up for it, and to see if Undertaker and/or Cena make an appearance.

    Won’t watch all of it, as I’ll have stuff to do in between and, if it goes to midnight, I may just tap out early.

    I'm glad I live in the Central Time Zone. Maybe this will end before 11 p.m.
    I'm sure I'll turn it on and have it in the background for a while before the main show starts. What time is the pre-show supposed to start?

    As for what I'm looking forward to, there are so many matches that it's hard to even think past the main events. Kofi-Bryan should be awesome. I'm disappointed that's not the main event if they're planning to put the belt on Kofi.
    The actual main event should be good.
    I'm intrigued by Rollins-Lesnar. It'll be interesting to see if they actually put Rollins over, and if we get something different from the boilerplate Lesnar match.

    What's the lineup? In no particular order I've got:
    1) Andre the Giant battle royal
    2) Women's four-way tag team title match
    3) Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio (U.S. title match)
    4) Randy Orton vs. A.J. Styles
    5) Women's battle royal
    6) Shane McMahon vs. Miz
    7) Kofi vs. Bryan (WWE title match)
    8) Smackdown tag team championship match
    And we haven't even gotten to the Raw matches yet!
    9) Lashley vs. Balor (IC title match)
    10) Revival vs. Black/Ricochet (Raw tag team titles)
    11) Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
    12) Lesnar vs. Rollins (Universal championship)
    13) Becky-Charlotte-Rousey (Women's 3-way main event)
    14) Triple H vs. Batista
    15) Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin

    I feel like I'm missing a couple of matches. Did they ever give Dean Ambrose anything to do on his way out the door, or will he just be part of the battle royal? That's a hell of a lot to stuff into even six or seven hours.

    20 years ago Raw went off the air with the beer bath.

    Last night Raw went off the air with Baron freakin Corbin.

    So not quite as excited for Mania as usual TBH

    I did see some Internet speculation that they did the women’s segment earlier because they weren’t sure how well they could time everything. That’s one casualty of USA not allowing the E any runover time any more.

    Although it would have been cool to have Tony Schiavone make a guest appearance and yell out a “We’re outta time!” right as Ronda kicked out the window.

    A.J. just referenced Orton’s drug suspensions. And it was gloriously awesome.

    That just about guarantees it. With Black/Richochet facing the Usos as part of the 4-way SD tag match, Hawkins and Ryder are almost the only ones left to face the Revival for the Raw belts.

    If this isn't Miz's entrance video for Sunday, then WWE fails.

    Was it just me, or did Kofi seem to lose his place and stumble through the biggest promo of his career?
