Many would say this is the biggest and most anticipated wrestling-match in the history of WWE/WWF/WWWF. Why?Because WWE ain't having their shining days anymore. 2011 was a year followed by low ratings and PPVs that really flopped. Vengeance had the second lowest PPV-ticket sales in history of the company. In my last article I blogged about my opinions in how the bad scripting is having a negative effect on the ratings in the company, and what the company should change to get up their ratings.
Anyway, this match defines the modern days of the WWE. If the match don't turn out to be a successes, this will be terrible news for the company. Because it seams to me that this match works as a "joker" for the company, to get up the ratings and merchandising. So if the company flops with this match, many fans will turn their back to their television-shows (Raw and Smackdown).
But if you look at the history of big "defining" PPVs-matches, you will see that WWE have made successes almost every time. Lets take you back to some big matches:
1- Wrestlemania 12, Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart!
These two superstars was the biggest stars in the roster at that moment, and the match was probably the second greatest match of all time, and it helped the WWE get up their ratings!

2- Wrestlemania 19, The Rock vs Steve Austin (Their 3 singles match at Mania)!
This match was important for the fans and for the company, and in my eyes it was the best of all their Wrestlemania matches, where Rock won after hitting 4 finishers on Austin.

3- Wrestlemania 18, The Rock vs Hulk Hogan!
This match defined two different wrestling-generations, and it was a epic fight between two legends! Many would say that Hogan passed the "torch" to Rock at this match.
4- Wrestlemania 26, Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker!

4- Wrestlemania 26, Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker!
After their mania 25 match, no one thought you could make a better match. But at Wrestlemania 26, Michaels and Undertaker in my eyes fought the GREATEST match in the history of the company. Why? Because this was a career vs streak match, where either the greatest wrestler of all time would end his career, or the greatest streak of all time would end. Many times I actually thought the streak would end, and the fact that Michaels kicked out of two tombstones was amazing! Loved this match, and it defined the end of an era with great superstars.
5- Money in the bank 2011, John Cena vs Cm Punk!When Cm Punk got his breakout moment in the Company, this match defined the start of a new legendary superstar in the company. Punk defeated Cena after an epic fight, where both superstars performed like true legends. This match gave Cm Punk a great push, and at the moment His the biggest star at the roster!! Most likely he will face Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 28!
Rock vs John Cena is the next big defining moment for WWE, and I'm sure it would be a successes, because their both amazing wrestlers. I think that Cena would win this match, because he is the biggest superstar in WWE at the moment!
Tune in for more blogs later this week! :)
