Please make sure to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not, and consider whether your additions to this article will serve to make the article larger and harder to edit for style, clarity, and grammar.

Undertaker

I think that article should remove that HBK or JBL will go to WM to challenge Undetaker, i'm sure they'll ask way before hand, and there'll be build up.

Another guy to challenge Undertaker for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.139.215 (talk) 08:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there should be anything about an Undertaker match until it is officially announced that he will even have a match and who the opponent will be. That would follow the protocol that applies to everything else on the wrestling articles. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 23:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HBK vs. JBL is next week. That match will decide who will face Undertaker. It's already in the article. Simon^KSK 23:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's wrong because Kozlov will then challenge the winner of that match, so the article is wrong. They won't be going to Wrestlemania to challenge Taker, it will be before hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.1.87 (talk • contribs)

No, you are wrong. I have seen the spoilers for the next 2 SmackDown's and Kozlov made no such challenge (they hinted at it, but that's it). TJ Spyke 19:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kozlov did challenge Undertaker, as the winner of tonights Raw will meet Kozlov next week on Raw.--Mrrko (talk) 03:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, I was going by by Wrestling Observer wrote (which was before it aired on TV). They said it was hinted at and not confirmed. TJ Spyke 03:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WrestleMania XXV Poster

Gerweck.net has it at the following link. [1] Steveweiser (talk) 22:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its wallpaper SuperSilver901 22:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, wallpaper, not poster. WWE does that for most PPVs, make both a poster and wallpaper. We don't know if that will be the poster or not. TJ Spyke 22:44, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And since WWE usually has more than one poster for WrestleMania. SuperSilver901 22:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the poster sometimes (not always, infact not even a majority of the time) shows the superstars competeing in the matches/main events. so could this be the superstars in the main events, tag matches and Money in the bank matches? Markgavin19 (talk) 17:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, the poster is usually made long before any matches announced and don't always have a reason for them. I remember one Judgment Day poster (I think 2007) had Kane on it, yet he only wrestled in a dark match. TJ Spyke 17:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And Great American Bash 2008 with Rey Mysterio on the poster, yet he never wrestled a match. SuperSilver901 18:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean 2007. The 2008 poster had Punk, Triple H, Cena. Michaels and Batista. TJ Spyke 22:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is "The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" a tagline?

See here SuperSilver901 21:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. That's the official name WWE wants to refer it to as. There were two big discussions on this [to change the official title] before but it was shot down. Maybe in the following weeks that opinion can change. But that's definitely not the tagline. If it weren't the title, they would have called it WrestleMania 25 or WrestleMania XXV on the poster.--TRU CO 01:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, the actual logo says "WrestleMania 25th Anniversary". TJ Spyke 01:59, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But does WWE ever refer to the event as that? No, they say The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.--TRU CO 02:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They also say WrestleMania 25 i.e. JBL and HBK promo on Raw in which he said he wanted to go to WrestleMania 25 and fight The Undertaker. So there is still a problem with the name.--WillC 04:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly enough, the micro site url does say WrestleMania25. Makes you wonder...^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 06:54, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the name is actually going to be WrestleMania 25, they have little references to XXV. --TRU CO 16:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think so too. There's even merchandise up on wweshop.com with a revised logo that reads WrestleMania 25 (Basically, they just took out the "TH" next to the 25 and the word "Anniversary"). With this in addition to the micro site making multiple references to the event as "WrestleMania 25", without making much use of "XXV", again like I said, It does make you wonder. ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 21:09, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you guys ever stop to think they are just going to call it different things but it always going to be WrestleMania 25 yes the tag line is WrestleMania 25 sliver but that not the name of the PPV

Sign your post SuperSilver901 18:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the fact that their promoted name, The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania has a integer and not a roman numeral. Although their are vague references of XXV on their site, the site flourishes with references to the above name of The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania and WrestleMania 25 (like on their schedule to the right on their website).--TRU CO 21:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What? You can't write XXVth Anniversary of WrestleMania. Also, I would like to point here for a second. As you can see, on the sidebar, it says WrestleMania XXV, not WrestleMania 25, or 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, or WrestleMani: 25th Anniversary. WrestleMania XXV is the official name, guys. Simon^KSK 21:28, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing WWE's promoting ways, they can do whatever they want so XXVth Anniversary is possible. In addition, like I stated above, XXV is vaguely referenced on WWE.com (such as your example). In all the results pages of Raw, SD, and ECW, they use WrestleMania 25 or The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. I think this article is mis-titled IMO.--TRU CO 21:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

XXVth Anniversary is ridiculous and you know it. 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania seems more like a promotional name. It has more impact than WrestleMania XXV. Simon^KSK 21:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Show me a corporate WWE article that uses "WrestleMania XXV" (from 2009). Show me somewhere on the WrestleMania micro-site where they use "WrestleMania XXV", show me somewhere in the TV results where they use "WrestleMania XXV". Show in WrestleMania's event details where they reference it to "WrestleMania XXV". Guranteed that you will find vague results and more references to "The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania". In reality, we have to see the pattern here. In all of WrestleMania's logos and posters, they have the official name of the event. Such as WrestleMania 23, WrestleMania XXIV, WrestleMania 21, and WrestleMania XIX. The logo states "WrestleMania: 25th Anniversary" but the name referenced in wording is "The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania". I see many views on this matter over the fact that renaming the article to "The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" will look "ugly". Think about it, the last logo referenced to "WrestleMania XXV" was after WrestleMania XXIV.--TRU CO 21:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jericho Vs Rourke

Chris Jericho made a chalenge to Micky Rourke for a match at Wrestlemania, I think it should be noted in the Article. Alten hofen 03:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No such match has been announced though and it's confirmed that Rourke will not be competing. Maybe if something happens at WrestleMania involving Rourke it could be worth noting. Right now though, I would say no. TJ Spyke 03:25, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was on Raw, and I have youtube to back it up (watch full videos).

[2][3] [4]

Wow, these guys are going far to make this crap look real... Like come on, Larry king???

03:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

That was a while ago, the match has been cancelled and Rourke has been announced to only be a guess at Mania.--WillC 03:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Triple H vs Orton?

Since they started a rivalry should it be included? Boca91 (talk)

No, not unless a match gets announced. We can't speculate that they will have a match (which would violate WP:CRYSTAL) and there would not be a reason to mention their feud otherwise. TJ Spyke 04:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's already a "Undertaker vs. TBD", shouldn't there at least be a "Randy Orton vs. TBD"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nithas (talk • contribs) 19:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We usually wait until the RR winner picks their title shot. The Undertaker match is confirmed with his opponent being either Shawn Michaels or Vladimir Kozlov. TJ Spyke 19:06, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows, it might be Taker vs. Michaels vs. Kozlov? Nithas (talk) 19:18, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Money In The Bank ladder match

there shouldnt be 8 contestants already figured out for the match, because jeff hardy lost out last year, plus due to recent injuries and high profile talent they might knock it back down to 6, or who knows how many and didnt discuss this on raw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.120.170.5 (talk) 14:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source prvoided says Punk has qualified, and that there are 7 more to come. If it changes later, tehn we'll change it, but for now, it it confirmed that there will be 8 participants. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 15:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention that any match could change before it starts. Jeff was only taken out last year because he got suspended for violating the wellness policy (for the second time). If something changes, we can then change it. As of right now WWE has said it will be 8 wrestlers. TJ Spyke 15:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WrestleMania XXV or WrestleMania: 25th Anniverdary, which will it be called?

In my opinion, Wrestlemania: 25th Anniversary is much more sutable, plus it fits it well. User: MK God —Preceding undated comment was added on 18:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

The consensus said that there would be no name change. SuperSilver901 23:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orton

Not sourced, not confirmed, but Orton will be in (one of) the main event(s). He won the Rumble, and is offially in the main event. And don't try to prove me wrong, becasue; like in the discussion about money in the bank, it is most likely going to happen, but may change.

Also, In my opinion, it's gonna be DX vs rated RKO, with Shawn and HHH winning the World hevyweight championship, and WWE championship respectively, then the two of them and the undertaker fighting for the undisputed championship...Alten hofen 03:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a forum or a news site. So your opinion on what might happen or will is not helpful or needed. Only once it is announced that Orton will be fighting for a title will it be placed in. Orton has a possibility of getting injured or suspended before the event.--WillC 03:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, he may have a title shot but he is not guranteed to be in the main event (take WrestleMania 23 for example. The Undertaker won the Royal Rumble but his title match was only the 4th match out of 8). TJ Spyke 04:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you think about that, he was in Smackdown's main event. So he probably is taking that into consideration.--WillC 05:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't we put Orton in the article since he will be facing a champion a Wrestlemaina XXV and put Randy Orton vs. TBA? ThePeepShow 02:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No because WWE has not confirmed it with a published source. Remember in 2006 during the road to WrestleMania 22, Orton beat Mysterio for his Rumble opportunity, and last year when Cena used it before 'Mania XXIV, so anything can happen between now and then, until WWE officially confirms.--TRU CO 03:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
