“I heard some boo’s” - Meltzer I’m joking but Meltzer saying this promo was a desperation move to save the mania match is actually ridiculous He's such a dink. |

Dave did not say this was a desperation move to save the Mania match. He said this was done to make sure everyone knew this was the clear big money match for Mania and he said it worked very well.

Yeah, I don't get the whole "this is too real" take
They didn't say anything outside of what you hear in a regular show. Wrestling at its core is mixing some real life motivation and upping it x10 for TV purposes.
It is going to be real because their is a lot of history. Heyman with Dusty. Dusty with his born kids and his wrestling kids. From the beginning the story was always going to be The Head of the Table from the acclaimed Anao'i dynasty vs the man who in his own rite comes from wrestling royalty but has never won "THE" championship gold in WWE

"Shooting" only annoys me when it starts to get into the realm where wrestling clearly isn't real but I never thought this segment crossed that line.

“This isn’t Paul Heyman talking to Cody Rhodes, this is Paul Heyman talking to Cody Rhodes!” Fixed He legally changed his name to Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes |

I doubt it but I do kind of wonder if the build will acknowledge that the Shield beat down Dusty once.

Yeah, that's the only time worked shoots well... work. As long as what's said fits in Kayfabe. Punks big pipebomb was basically just I'm the best in the world and I'm going to beat John CEna in a wrestling match. The rest was stuff like the WWE Management and Vince are corrupt (which has been the main storyline for like 20 years), |

What if they kept saying they were peeling the proverbial banana instead of the curtain

Also Heyman should have went on to again point out that Solo was the son that no father wanted... >_>

I thought it was great: gave depth to why Cody wants it so bad and ties Cody directly to Roman through Heyman and Dusty. It's not just one wrestling family vs. another, it's two families that cross over with each other intrinsically, brought home by Heyman's "the son he always wanted" button.
It also reminded me of the Heyman promos they needed him to cut when it was clear the lead up to Reigns/Lesnar in 2015 was a disaster, where Heyman talked about his history with Roman's family, which ended up being the seed to Roman finally turning heel for this run. A nice echo that tied the rocky start of Roman's solo run with the big finish we're getting to it now.

I just can't get into Cody. It could be the time I bought he and Ted Jr as downloadable content for some WWE game and totally regretted it.
So I blame him and not myself for that.

I think it was one of those Smackdown vs Raw games, whenever they had just started doing the Legacy gimmick but weren't in the game at launch. |
