Brock Lesnar
A deal has been made with Brock Lesnar where he gets a main event spot at wrestlemania 29. Should the added. I know this info to be true. Should there be a table for scheduled matched and it say "Brock Lesnar vs. ?" Just askin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.224.250 (talk) 04:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Zack Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Internet Championship
Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geNP6Nq9N-4 Ryder and Ziggler confirm a match for WM29. WWE members have tweeted about it but obviously it's not 100% official yet. I was just wondering if there should at least be some mention of it on this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.32.128.73 (talk) 21:30, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Arabic numerals being used again
WWE seems to be shying away from the Roman numeral for the upcoming event. Their websites and text alerts regarding ticket sale information are referring to the event with the Arabic numeral "29" now rather than XXIX. Might want to change that on the main article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patriot174 (talk • contribs) 04:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, it seems that this year, this is WrestleMania 29 not XXIX. Some admin should change it.Bright Darkness (talk) 12:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You got a source for the change-- Dch eagle  | Join the Fight! 23:56, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * "WrestleMania 29" is cited like seven times in this official page, whileas I can't see any allusion to a potential Roman XXIX numeral. I have other sources, as this, this or this. It seems like WWE has dropped Roman numerals for this edition. The last edition where Arabic numerals were used is WrestleMania 23. Regards, Bright Darkness (talk) 09:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * All of these sources are from the WWE got any secondary sources not connected to WWE.-- Dcheagle   &bull; talk &bull; contribs 00:04, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * ,, , , . However, I still believe that WWE is still the most reliable source for such information. Regards, Bright Darkness (talk) 19:41, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * They seem to be going back and forth with how they're referring to it; the official WM website has it listed as "29" but refer to it as "XXIX" on some alerts (Facebook, text, etc.). Might as well wait for the event to get closer before any more switches are made on this article. Patriot174 (talk) 18:52, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with changing the name to WrestleMania 29. It seems to be what WWE is going with right now. Yeah, there are still some mentions of "XXIX" on their site, but pretty much anything recent is "29", and January is where the build to WrestleMania kicks off, so it would seem like they should have their mind made up. It would be much easier to judge if the official logo had numbers, but that's another thing that I doubt will change at this point. I don't really know if non-WWE sources should be the deciding matter in what the name is; most of the press on WrestleMania is going to be from wrestling-focused sites where the author's personal preference will usually determine whether they use Arabic or Roman numerals. I remember the whole discussion about WM XXV and whether the article should be "The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" or "WrestleMania 25" or "WrestleMania XXV" or "WrestleMania: 25th Anniversary" and all of that nonsense. (Even WWE now refers to it as XXV on their own site now). This is probably about as trivial, but it seems like WWE has chosed 29 at this point. I'll eat my hat if they change it back, no worries. But I think that's very unlikely. Part of me feels like they're going to try to avoid using XXX for the next one, and XXIX might just be close enough to get someone worried.

 * Hadn't thought about WrestleMania XXX. That sure doesn't look family-friendly. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:23, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. I've removed the speedy tag as this appears to be a well-established MOS issue. Every other article uses Roman numerals. This might be a great discussion to get going but it must be done across the board to ensure a new precedent is set. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 20:55, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Not every WrestleMania article uses roman numerals ex. WrestleMania 2, WrestleMania 23, WrestleMania 22. No need for precedent it just needs to be the same as the other articles and be actually listed as advertised. The consensus for this article seems to be to move it which would be the right choice as seen above it is WM 29 not XXIX.  STATic  message me!  21:46, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

John Cena/WWE Title
I think we're assuming too quickly that the match will be a singles match. I've heard a lot of rumor it could be a triple threat match. In any case, I want to know how people know it's a single match because I can't find any proof on that, only that Cena will go for the WWE title. Srsrox (talk) 15:16, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I'd like to remove the whole "matches" section until there's a citation on the WWE website. However, if it has to stay, it should stay as a singles match as there's no reason to think otherwise. –  Richard  BB  20:38, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Cena said he will challenge the WWE Champion, not the WWE Champion and others. That's what the page currently reads. If the situation changes, we can change the page, it's not set in stone. Tony2Times (talk) 12:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That's great and all, but without sources, you'd not be able to convince anyone Tony2Times. Either way, I guess we can assume a singles match since most WrestleMania main events are single matches. Srsrox (talk) 03:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Once in a Lifetime
Quite notable that Cena vs Rock is a rematch of a "Once in a Lifetime" match, a mere year later, so I'd noted it. It was removed, so I added a source. If anyone feels differently, please say why here, instead of something vague like "unnecessary" in an edit summary. Thank you. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:17, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The problem is that mention of this is completely WP:UNDUE and comes across as a criticism of the WWE, with is not neutral. I don't think we need any mention of this — let the reader make their own mind up. –  Richard  BB  10:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, as per WP:BRD, let's discuss this and achieve a consensus before we get into an edit war. –  Richard  BB  10:58, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Anyway, undue would be nitpicking in Earl Hebner's article about his poor calls (screwed many more than Bret), or noting all of Tony Schiavone's lies. Here, we're dealing with the main event of WrestleMania. Nothing "bigger" in wrestling. And 28's main event was hyped more than any ever was. For a whole year, this match was built (in WWE world and Hollywood), and a huge part of that build was the "Once in a Lifetime" gimmick. Look at the poster: The phrase literally headlines the headliner of the "grandest stage of them all".


 * Given all that, it's reasonable to assume readers may wonder "What the hell?". The source we had addressed that question, even offering a helpful official timeline of events leading to the rematch. So it's fairly clear that WWE anticipated this question. Omitting their available explanation and letting readers jump to conclusions is less neutral, and withholding relevant information is just bad encyclopedia business. InedibleHulk (talk) 15:06, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not saying that WrestleMania as a whole is UNDUE — I'm saying that picking out this one, pedantic point is undue. Yes, WM is the biggest wrestling event of the year, and yes, the main event is by definition the biggest match of the year — but it's not our duty to point out that the same match took place a year later despite taglines. We're not "withholding" information at all: the information is there for everyone to see. This article says what the main event is, the last WM article says the same, the last WM article says the tagline, and the WrestleMania page shows all of it. If anyone wants to draw a conclusion they are free to. It's not in any way less neutral for us to let readers jump to conclusions — that's up to them and we're not responsible for that. We would, however, be responsible if they reached the conclusion that we at Wikipedia are criticising WWE for billing the same match twice by pointing out that they did this "despite" last year's tagline. If a reader wonders "what the hell?" because of the same match twice, that's their interpretation. It's not our job to make them wonder "what the hell?" –  Richard  BB  16:28, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * If I was just pulling this out of my ass, I could see your point. But this contradiction has been pointed out in several sources. It's our "duty" to relay significant and relevant info. Significant because this was a major selling point of the first match, and relevant because that match led here. If it's criticism, it's extremely mild, and there's no rule against sourced criticism. If there was, we'd delete the Reception sections in all PPV articles. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:51, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I see you'd also like to discuss the WrestleMania 28 part here. That one's much simpler. If someone reads "Once in a Lifetime", they may reasonably assume this was the only time they've wrestled. Clearly not true for long, and should be clarified. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree, criticism should be displayed (in a reception section, not in the lead) if there has been a sufficient amount. However, I have yet to see a backlash or outrage cited because of this rematch. The two sources you cited both point out that this is a rematch, sure — but only the second is really criticising the decision (in the form of satire); the first isn't making a criticism. In order for us to include this we'd need to adequately demonstrate that there has been a substantial (and above all else, notable) amount of criticism for this decision. –  Richard  BB  18:19, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, re: WM28 — it's not our job to assume what a person's conclusions are and to then set them right. They can see by looking at the WM 29 article that there was a rematch. –  Richard  BB  18:28, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * We seem to be stuck on this "criticism" thing. Would it help if you considered this a straight fact? Like you say, that's the way the first source presents it. That's how I intended it. I didn't say "WWE lied to us all, the bastards!" (not even paraphrased). Just wanted to relay a simple fact. If the word "despite" seems critical to you, can you think of a better way to word it? I can't.


 * And yes, WrestleMania XXVIII readers could check to see if Cena and Rock wrestled again next year, but why would they even think to if they didn't know? By that logic, we can remove the "rematch" fact from this article, since readers could just check WM28. And we wouldn't mention Rock retaining at Elimination Chamber, since readers could check themselves. Much of this (unsourced) stuff is available elsewhere on Wiki. But we keep it because it's also relevant to WM29. Same deal, except I had sources. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

I've changed "setting up a rematch of his match with The Rock" to "setting up a rematch of his "Once in a Lifetime" match with The Rock". Notice there's no "despite", it's not in the lead, has no hint of criticism and is clearly sourced. Acceptable? InedibleHulk (talk) 06:56, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Scholars & Bellas vs Tons & Funkadactyls
This match was on the card, what happened to it? I thought it got pushed to the post-show but it didn't even show up on that either. Even if it didn't happen, I think it's essential that we mention that WWE promoted this mixed tag match and then did not deliver it to us. Ranze (talk) 03:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Yes it was removed here is the source source --Cs california (talk) 13:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

You don't need 'reliable sources' to show a match didn't happen, the default assumption is that unless there is evidence the match occurred, it didn't. We do know that is was promoted though. Everyone who saw the event knows it didn't happen, WWE.com didn't report it happening at many (and removed evidence that they promoted it). Furthermore we know it happened the following night on Monday Night Raw. It is worth mentioning that WWE advertises advents to sell WrestleMania and then doesn't deliver on them. "Card subject to change" could theoretically be an escape clause for cancelling any match (even Punk v Taker) but we should report on it, so I'm restoring the section. Ranze (talk) 17:40, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Worth a mention, but not a three-paragraph subsection. Especially considering that's more than we give any of the matches that did happen. And considering the section repeats the background section. I've removed it. If there's any notable info missing, please add it to the Background paragraph instead, or the Aftermath section. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:24, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Mixed reviews?
We say the event received them, but then we show one review with a B grade, and another 6/10. Maybe I'm just an underachiever, but isn't a B grade pretty positive? I see that and think around 75% success. 6/10 isn't as good, but is still on the "pass" side. So it looks like two positive reviews to me. Am I wrong? InedibleHulk (talk) 21:54, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
