CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio was added to the Wrestlemania Card at last night's Smackdown Tapings - which creates a very top heavy card, with no Divas in sight. It's hard to tell with so many matches already booked, whether or not they'll give any time to the Divas on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Here's what's rumored to be, the final card.

John Cena vs. Batista
World Heavyweight Title Match
Edge vs. Chris Jericho
Career vs. Streak Match
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker

I'm already snoring at that main event.

No, they'll all come out for the WWE sanctioned "2010 Divas Clusterf**k" hosted by Kid Rock.
I'm snoring at the whole f'n show (no, not RVD). Here's my take on the matches:
WWE Title Match
John Cena vs. Batista
SNORE. Two guys I can't stand - at least they're up against each other and only stinking up one match instead of two.
World Heavyweight Title Match
Edge vs. Chris Jericho
This is the one that SHOULD close the show. To date, the only match at this year's show that I want to see. If Jericho retains, however, I riot.
Career vs. Streak Match
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker
I hate this. I hate it, it's a lose-lose situation. Either Shawn loses and "retires" (only to come back around Summerslam (if they still call it that by then)) which further damages his credibility as "Mr. Wrestlemania," or Taker loses and the streak is ended by someone who doesn't need that kind of rub. This should be one of those "passing of the torch" moments, not a "one last show of dominance before I hang it up" for HBK.
No Holds Barred Match
Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon
Say what you will about TNA, at least they had the wherewithal to put Hogan and Flair into a tag match with guys who could carry them, and put it on free tv instead of the biggest pay per view of the year. If Bret couldn't even take a Batista-bump, how's he supposed to work a full match?
WWE Unified Tag Team Title Match
John Morrison & R-Truth vs. The Miz & Big Show
Meh. I'll give them credit, at least they're giving the mid-carders something to do, but I can think of several others who should be in this spot. The bland face run of Morrison is doing nothing for me. And R-Truth rarely has in the first place.
Triple Threat Match
Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase
Congratulations, WWE, you successfully drew this thing out even longer and more anti-climactically than Batista's turn on Evolution. Randy has no business being a face, but whatever.
Street Fight
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
I have very little interest in Mysterio anymore, but this could be a good little match. I'm sure Rey-Rey will hit his same old convoluted moves and send the crowd home happy with this one. Whatev.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane vs. Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP vs. Jack Swagger vs. Matt Hardy vs. Evan Bourne vs. Drew McIntyre
...at least there's no Mark Henry? This looks like a clusterfuck of "here's our midcard for whom there are no other roles" greatness. Just, for the love of God, don't let Ziggler win this. I'll take Drew McMahon before I take Ziggler.
Triple H vs. Sheamus
...WHY?! I mean, as a smark, I know why, but..... WHY?!?!?! Sheamus has been WWE champion for several months, he's been an unstoppable monster... so he gets a random throwaway match with Triple H at Mania. Congrats, kid. Enjoy your long cold trip back to midcard / curtain jerk purgatory. Khali and Kofi are down there waitin' for you with your gift basket and complimentary role on WWE Superstars.
I just don't get it, I really don't. WWE has the power to build up new stars, they push these guys to the moon, only to hit that glass ceiling and come crashing back down for no reason whatsoever. WHERE THE FUCK IS KOFI KINGSTON ON THIS CARD?! He's over like crazy, he had so much momentum in his program with Orton, he had a personality, he has the flashy moves, he was all set to break through and be a new main event star..... and now, nothing. Cena/Batista main eventing AGAIN. Ugh. I've been a lifelong WWF/E fan, I've watched religiously since I was 3, and they've finally managed to make me uncare. Thanks, Vince.
I feel like it should be mentioned that the matches were in no particular order. As of yesterday, WWE was still reportedly still trying to decide whether Edge -v- Jericho, Cena -v- Batista or HBK -V- Undertaker should be the main event. Personally I think it should be Edge or Jericho (best story) or HBK -v- Undertaker - because really, we all know Shawn is going to carry Taker like he did last year.
