Edge World champ?
Is it a bit early to say that Edge will be defending the title? Del Rio may be challenging for the World title at Mania but that doesn't mean the World champ will still be Edge by then. 94.197.175.3 (talk) 16:19, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sure the Wrestlemania match will end up being being Edge/Del Rio because they just planted the first seeds of the feud on RAW. It also is listed on WWE.com as a match confirmed for Wrestlemania. Of course there is still the Elmination Chamber ppv (plus Edge defends his title on Smackdown this Friday...though the results are already known because the show is taped).

- Now that it's aired, it's fine to say that Edge regained his title and Ziggler was fired without getting his rematch. If Ziggles is still booked for Elimination Chamber then he'd have to get in somehow. Otherwise I'm guessing they would use one of Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston or maybe Jack Swagger or Undertaker to fill the spot. I expect that'd probably count for his rematch clause. It wouldn't be the first time someone gets cheated out of an established match by having it be many-players (Barrett's NXT reward). Dictabeard (talk) 04:37, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- The WM27 website on WWE.com lists Edge vs Del Rio as a match for Mania. That's a good enough source for anyone. --Evil Maldini (talk) 15:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Wouldn't that be some kind of spoiler for who wins elimination chamber? Or if Edge somehow loses it AGAIN in the chamber, he'd have to regain it by mania via rematch clause with whoever takes it. Dictabeard (talk) 04:37, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- I believe there is no reason to have 'World Heavyweight Champion' vs. Alberto Del Rio under the matches section. As of right now, it needs to say 'Edge' vs. Alberto Del Rio. We all know Del Rio faces whomever the champ may be, but as of now, WWE.com lists matches for WrestleMania as 'Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio'. Info about Del Rio facing the champ is directly above in the background section anyway. The match on this page is sourced straight from WWE.com. Maybe I suggest we add a 'subject to change' note or something like that? If Edge loses the title, then it's not that hard to change it here. Thanks. InFlamester20 (talk) 17:25, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'll put a note on the edit page requesting it not be changed for these reasons.--Evil Maldini (talk) 17:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
- Wouldn't there be a way we could have both? Like "Edge" or if someone else wins the chamber? Would it still fit in the box? Dictabeard (talk) 04:37, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- At this time we have a reliable source that says its Edge V. Del Rio if that so thats what we will list its as.--SteamIron 11:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- Many sources now are saying it could be Mystero vs Del Rio, with Christian (who takes Zigglers spot) either fueding with Edge, or tag teaming with him again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.209.180.124 (talk) 01:52, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Alright Edge has won the chamber match, it's official now. This discussion has ended.--Voices in my Head WrestleMania XXVII 22:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

- For the last time, it will be added when it is announced by WWE.com. ECWAGuru (talk) 19:25, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Not done: As per ECWAGuru. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Who died and made you boss!? HUh!
- At this time there is no official source for the match so it will be added when it is announced by WWE.--SteamIron 22:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Mania site - The battle is, the truth conditions are not specified Mistery Spectre (talk) 23:27, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- I just went to that very site...the match is not there. What is everyone's obsession with getting the match added? When it's announced, it will be listed. Chill. ECWAGuru (talk) 15:26, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit request
{{edit semi-protected} i have recently created the page Extreme Rules (2011) because the event is less than two months away and I want to edit this page so I can re-direct the link to it. thank you --Christanandjericho (talk) 08:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Undertaker vs Triple H reference
I clicked on the link in the reference at the bottom to read the story on wwe.com, and the page was blocked by my virus software (which is Avast!).. it may just be my laptop being a pain, but if not it needs removing. Anyone else had this? BulbaThor (talk) 22:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 110.36.28.14, 2 March 2011
{{edit semi-protected}}
The WWE released the new and official promotional poster for this event, please change the current poster on this page and replace it with the new one. Secondly, make the article more appealing i.e. add Georgia Dome's image stating that it is the site for this event. Thankyou
110.36.28.14 (talk) 07:17, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Also, you may want to try Wikipedia:Images for upload to find somebody who can upload the poster under a fair use claim. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:04, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Jimmy Hart
Hulk Hogan Tweeted The Following: (“I think it’s great for Jim Hart to go back to the WWE as Jerry Lawler’s manager at WrestleMania.”
“I just hope it’s not a one-off like The Rock. Jimmy still lives for being right in the middle of all the action. He did what was best for himself.”) (Source: http://twitter.com/hulkhogan4real) I Suggest That The Jerry Lawler Match Be EditedLTC. K-O Capt (talk) 03:38, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Twitter is not a reliable source. STATic message me! 03:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, from what I read in WP:RS, it is, if the account is verified. However, there's nothing else verifying this passing reference as true, and Hogan has later added that he was simply guessing and did not know what the plans were. Hazardous Matt (talk) 14:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- As has been said many times already, people can just wait until WWE itself verifies it on their website. Even if Hogan's account is verified, he's hardly the most reliable source, especially considering he doesn't even work for WWE anymore. ECWAGuru (talk) 14:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Which is what I said, thank you. Hazardous Matt (talk) 16:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wait, The Wrestling Observer Wrote This: "WWE is reportedly not happy that Hulk Hogan tweeted about Jimmy Hart coming in as a manager for Jerry Lawler against Michael Cole at WrestleMania. A source within the company says they are so pissed off that they may show footage this coming week of both Triple H and The Undertaker beating Hogan." Not Only That But I Saw Nowhere in The Twitter Where he Said He Guessed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.89.181 (talk) 02:15, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Using WP:RS his Twitter account can only be used to reference information about Hogan or the company he works for. And he did clarify that he was only guessing. There are third-party reports saying so. Just let it drop until something is actually announced. Hazardous Matt (talk) 14:00, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Matches announced on Smackdown!
What about matches announced at tapings? WCW Fan 2000 (talk) 07:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- As said several times above, just wait until a match is announced on WWE.com. It needs to have a verifiable source. WWE can always tape something on Tuesday and edit/change its mind by Friday (as has happened many times before).BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 13:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Additions
Two things I would like to add (but cannot) and simply call to the attention of those who can:
- 1. In the "stipulations" box, it should be noted that all members of the Nexus (sans, obviously, Punk himself) have been banned from ringside;
- 2. A background in the "buildup" section for the Corre's 8-man tag, which I would be glad to write and email or whatever to the proper authorities.

not netural
the event section sound bias because it says's "great match" in hhh vs undertaker and it says "very slow match" on cena vs miz these are not neutral —Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.3.102.100 (talk) 09:52, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
done --27.3.102.100 (talk) 05:19, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
It also sounds like it was written by a 15 year old. I tried to edit it but whoever has control over it is obviously an idiot and left it like it was. I tried to clean it up and make it neutral, but nope. Not gonna happen. "The Rocks says it doesn't matter what the GM says." There are like 100 things wrong with that statement being in the article. How about what I tried to do: "The Rock came out to intervene, but the Raw GM made an announcement. The Rock went to read it and disregarded it." - KinkESizemore
I agree, we need to have the article unlocked so we can fix up whatever "editor" decided to give his personal play-by-play on it. It's far from neutral or a good description of the matches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.20.87 (talk) 13:15, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

These are the best we could do? They're really poor quality and blurry. --WestJet (talk) 08:33, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
The Rock Vs Cena
The match was agreed upon for less than 365 days from when the next Wrestlemania would take place; this marks it as less than year. Please unlock the article so the lie can be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.20.87 (talk) 03:01, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
