Fact is you dont. You don't deserve it. This is WWEs time to entice new viewers and bring in the pennies to their rich little pockets. Stock holders demand income and income doesn't always mean giving the long term marks and smarks what they want or feel they deserve. New stars will be pushed so that younger generations can begin making a name for themselves and this will sometimes mean disappointing the smarks. I'm pointing the finger at you Reigns haters. But when we really look into the mind of a fan this is when fantasy bookers get the biggest god damn erection they have ever had.
Fantasy booking is at its peak during Wrestlemania season and I don't mean the crap about the night after mania because that's just another excuse for WWE to hang you by your feet until whatever change you have left from your over priced t-shirt that you purchased at the merch stand at mania drops into their melting pot. No. Fantasy bookers love this time of year because 90% of them look at spoilers and dirtsheets and believe that because a few rumours are there that they will write up every match and call every story line. Oh and here's the punch line. THEY THEN CALL WWE PREDICTABLE. Know why it's predictable? Because you read the sheets asshole.
Want to make Mania even better for yourself? Don't have high expectations, don't fantasy book and most importantly don't read the damn sheets.
Wrestlemania should be about spectacle and surprise not about who guessed what right. (SAYING THIS WE ALL FANTASY BOOK AND I REALISE ITS HARD NOT TO) Someties though its good to take a backseat and get taken along for the ride. Remember what it was like as a kid seeing your favourite star win on the big stage and not know if they could over come the bad guy? You can still get that feeling by just ensuring you don't assume you already know the winner to a match. Take last years Royal Rumble for example. Everyone assumed that Daniel Bryan would be number 30 in the rumble match and when it never happened everyone was up in arms. This is the perfect example of fans ruining the show for themselves. Plus taking into account the fact we all knew Batista was returning due to the dirtsheets and spoilers everywhere didnt help.
The point is, Wrestlemania is what you make of it. You can either have your wrestling christmas like all the good little marks or you can be the jackass smark who searches through his presents the week before christmas only to go spit in his parents face and say they bought the wrong things. Choice is yours.

I guess I fall under the category of "jackass smark" 'cos I despise Roman Reigns 'cos he can't cut promos for sh*t, nor is he that great in the ring. I'm fine with that, though. Honestly; I disagree with some of this. I think WWE could do a lot better than what they have been doing, lately. They've been half-assing it so much, killing pushes which shouldn't have been killed, and just mis-using a good majority of the roster, like the New Day for example. Also, even without reading dirt-sheets I predicted Reigns would probably fight Lesnar (which most-likely will happen) 'cos of the fact it's obvious they're pushing him -in my case and many others- right down people's throats.
