It's the same old story, why give it away for free now when we can give it to you on pay per view for 15 quid in a couple of weeks?

There should still be some physical altercation. I remember Rock Vs Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 17 and they were beating the Hell out of each other in the lead up and it really made people want to watch them go at it in a match. The Rock vs Cena is just a bit meh in terms of build up. I'll probably watch it because its The Rock but I am not greatly excited over the story or anything like that.
I suppose it is pretty rare to get a face vs face scenario that isn't dull as they obviously don't want to make either seem weak (even though they kind of have with Cena)

You must be referring to the single greatest promo video from the WWE:
Good times those were. Nowadays the build ups are nothing more than stare downs and promises to whoop each other's candy ass.
Currently that is arguable at best. IMO he is so lame nowadays, just as much so as without the mask. I don't even like the new mask. He should've come back with one that covered his whole face.Brodus needs a proper storyline now. I was thinking during his match (and after it, because I didn't have time to finish thinking before the match was over) that it might be an idea for him to feud with somebody like Kane or Mark Henry. I know the matches would probably be absolutely horrible from a technical standpoint, but if you look at it through the eyes of the Little Jimmies, then it would be a feud that gives Brodus some credibility.
If Kane/Mark shows up during one of his post match dancing sessions, and attacks him, then you can have a few weeks where the heel cuts promos that are basically "I don't like you having fun," leading to Brodus winning at a PPV. That makes the casual audience think "oh, so he can beat people that haven't come from NXT."
I know I'll probably get "Kane shouldn't be used to put that sack of crap over" replies, but at this stage in his career it's probably the best use for Kane. He's also a guy that's been put through a lot of shit in his career, and he's still managed to come out of it as a believable monster heel.
The AJ - Bryan storyline is disturbing. I get it's kayfabe, and he's on a brilliant heel push, but the slow burning build up to what seems to be an "abusive relationship" story is quite uncomfortable to watch.
Adding a poll to see how many people think Cena will turn heel at mania and how many think he won't would be good right now.
Well kayfabe cheating etc is fair enough, but where are they going with the sinister side to their relationship?
Although I do think we should have a nice early sweepstake soon.
You'd imagine that, at some point she will turn on Bryan and empower herself... as that would be the logical "good" conclusion. But then, this is the WWE... the palce where HHH goes over the man he racially put down at 'Mania 19.
Good thinking... here's a rough template.
Matches:
The Rock vs. John Cena = Cena
Triple H vs. The Undertaker = Taker
CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho = CM Punk
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus = Bryan
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Big Show = Rhodes
Randy Orton vs. Kane = Orton
Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny = Team Teddy
Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres = Phoenix and Torres
Other Stuff
First Match: Orton vs Kane
Last Match: Rock vs Cena
How much time will pass between either HHH / Taker / HBK (depending on whose out first) music hitting and the bell sounding?: 11 minutes
How many Pedigree's, Last Rides and Tombstones will we see?: 7
Does Cena Turn Heel: No
Will there be a handshake of any kind between Cena and Rock: Yes
Anthing else for the other stuff category?
