Wow, 46 people have signed, and 2 of them are a joke account that really likes the Warlord. I can see Vince panicking now. Or signing the Warlord. Either way.

Man, they must despise TNA for Daniels and AJ's 43,519 "One Final Time" matches.
I love that since Cena doesn't have the popularity of The Rock, he shouldn't beat him. But Punk is apparently popular enough to beat Rock.

Protest for civil rights. Protest for equality. Protest against poverty. Protest against war. If none of of the previous things make you want to take a stand but whining about Wrestlemania is what make you want to boycott, you got your priorities in life twisted. I've been wondering this all week, but the people claiming they are annoyed with whats happened. How many of them actually buy Wrestlemania on PPV, versus them streaming it illegally. The number of people who be watching illegally is much higher than the ones who actually pay for it. Once WWE do what UFC does and sue people for streaming it, it's going to remain that way.

But Punk is apparently popular enough to beat Rock. The perception (not the reality) is that Cena has been handed everything, and that Punk has earned his way to the top by clawing and scratching -- ergo being seen as a true underdog that succeeded in spite of not being what a traditional star looked like. It's not true, of course (at least all of it). But that seems to be the view: that Cena is WWE's ultimate mary sue, and Punk is organic.

So this had to be done by that fat kid in the video that was so upset by Punk losing right? I hope it was done as a joke since this Mania is going to break last years mark as the highest grossing event in WWE history. No it won't. The undercard looks to be weaker than last year, there's no big secondary match to draw people in like Triple H/Undertaker HIAC. What they don't get is, it was a once in a lifetime deal. How many times do you get to see the first dream match ever. That really is once in a lifetime. Those people had that feeling of seeing that epic dream match. Same goes with Rock vs Hogan. They had a rematch a year later at a No Way Out pay per view, but nothing will take away the magic of the first one. Regarding Rock/Hogan 2, the buyrate was 450,000, good by today's standards, but the Rumble the month before had 585,000 and the No Way Out the year before had 575,000. On the one hand, the year before saw the return of Hogan, Hall and Nash as the nWo, but they didn't even have a match that night, plus No Way Out 03 was the return of Rock, Hogan and Austin, none of whom had been seen since mid summer the year before, and all of them had matches that night. And what happened the month after Rock/Hogan 2? Wrestlemania XIX, with a buyrate of 560,000. Not a typo, WRESTLEMANIA drew a worse buyrate than the Royal Rumble. And that's with Angle/Lesnar, Rock/Austin 3 in Austin's last match, Hogan/Vince and Michaels/Jericho. Sometimes once is enough. That's true, sometimes once is enough. But I'm not quite sure what the storyline was behind the Hogan/Rock rematch. One thing with Rock/Cena 2 is they have a large backstory behind it, and Cena said he had the worst year of his life after the Rock loss. So it would all come full circle, if you will, adding to the drama

It's weird. I signed petitions involving someone's release, I started a facebook page on getting the Knockouts more money. Obviously these are futile endeavours, but the logic is outside the wrestling world. An injustice took place where say, Bryan Danielson was f***ed over. Not the character, the man. But with this, it's a petition to stop a storyline idea, one that has been built up for the past couple of years, and is the best match money wise. So it makes it more pathetic.

This is slighter sadder than that BA Star petition someone tried to get going last year.

I partially agree with the guy who wrote that. I agree that Rock/Cena II is a joke and makes a mockery of the ONCE IN A LIFETIMEZ. The Rumble genuinely pissed me off, but it was more for that fact that someone like Ziggler, Rhodes, or even Ryback should have won the Rumble, and not someone like Cena who doesn't need a Rumble win. Cole said all the usual shtick like "Cena is going to Wrestlemania!" which left me perplexed.
Also... a petition? Is this the "it's still real to me dammit" guy? The guy who had the freak out about Punk losing? I'm sure VKM is running scared.

I can forgive the "Once In A Lifetime" tagline, so long as this one has the tagline "Same as it ever was..."

I still don't get the upset for the rematch over a marketing tag. It's buisness 101 when something is hugely successful, you make a sequel, and if the sequel makes lots of money, you make another one. It's something that was expected before the match even happened. I wonder if the tagline wasn't once in a lifetime, would people stop being mad

"Enough is enough! I've had it with these motherf***ing rematches on my motherf***ing Wrestlemania!"
This petition probably was done by the fat kid and it's f***ing ridiculous. The whole smarkrage over CM Punk finally losing, however, amuses me much more than the actual WWE product. So, please go on with that, WWE! How about setting up hope, but just squashing Punk in seconds at Wrestlemania? I'd love to see the fallout!

I thought pro wrestling wrote the book on how words never mean what they mean.
NEVER AGAIN... means it's bound to happen. ONCE IN A LIFETIME... incoming best of 5 series GUARANTEED... sometimes it might actually happen FOREVER... for the next 5 minutes YER FIRED ... we'll see you again soon BROTHER... is actually never a blood relative

Dude repeatedly has tried to sue Lay's potato chips, when he was able to eat just one. well in Lay's defense they never gave a timeline for when the second one would get eaten so if he did it on more than one occasion Lay's is good- because he ate more than one. <Captain Technicality flies off into the distance, his job done, a loophole exploited>
