I hear what you guys are saying about the story being super unoriginal but it's still a story I'm glad they're telling. This is far better than Kofi blowing the shot at Fastlane.

What’s this about Kofi trying to fight Vince once? How annoying do you have to be to get the nicest guy on the roster to try to beat your ass!? I can’t remember all the details, but apparently they were on a long flight and Vince kept messing with Kofi. Orton or someone told Kofi he needed to stand up for himself so Vince would respect him. They had words getting off the flight that ended with Vince saying “maybe one day you’ll get over”. Kofi attacked Vince and they went at it a bit. When pulled apart Vince apparently loved it and told Kofi that is what he wanted from him all the time. I think this has been confirmed.

Oh yea , it was Jericho. That was in Jericho’s book, I knew I read it somewhere that was possibly legitimate.

no, you don't get it. They think Rousey is that face. They think she's the one who will give them all a big happy ending and make everyone feel great. Why do you think that? The fact that they played her up as such a valiant, honorable hero who only wants to Fight The Best and stands up to the McMahons and doesn't think Charlotte deserves to have everything handed to her. They're going out of their way to try to make her the rebel underdog hero. This is how it looks right before someone wins at Mania and then the next night comes out to horrible boos that the announcers pretend to ignore.

They're making the "overlooked" part of the story and that's exactly what I want out of this. I am so f***ing in on this Kofi story. I'm totally on board with it outside of Owens replacing him, because it is such a heel move and can only be building to a heel turn. The fact that they played her up as such a valiant, honorable hero who only wants to Fight The Best and stands up to the McMahons and doesn't think Charlotte deserves to have everything handed to her. They're going out of their way to try to make her the rebel underdog hero. This is how it looks right before someone wins at Mania and then the next night comes out to horrible boos that the announcers pretend to ignore. Sunny side of that would be that she's apparently leaving after Mania, so hopefully won't take the belt with her??

Either Becky wins it the night after Mania, or yes she does take it with her, because something something MMA something.

She's clearly being positioned as the lead face here instead of Ronda. To think it's Ronda is, man, I think you're looking at this story the wrong way because Becky's the one who started this whole fall of the WM35 main event. All they're doing with Ronda is making her not seem like the third wheel that she's been these past few months because she's been exactly that. Ronda is acting like most faces these days would in that situation. Secondly, Ronda is repeatedly leaving after WM. She's not going to be the victor.

I think the easiest thing here would have been the Fastlane match ends in a DQ when Rowan interferes and so they give Kofi a WM match. That prevents either him or Bryan from losing in the buildup and lets them finish it at 'Mania. It is pretty lazy storytelling right now though. Then again, this is the company that debuted Absolution and Riot Squad 24 hours apart.

Look, Kofi's story might not be original right now, but you know what would be? Kofi Kingston winning the f***ing belt at WrestleMania. Long as that's the end goal, I can cope with similarities. Least they're all on the actual show, right, Brock? The fact that they played her up as such a valiant, honorable hero who only wants to Fight The Best and stands up to the McMahons and doesn't think Charlotte deserves to have everything handed to her. They're going out of their way to try to make her the rebel underdog hero. This is how it looks right before someone wins at Mania and then the next night comes out to horrible boos that the announcers pretend to ignore. You're describing Becky right now.

Ronda is acting like most faces these days would in that situation. Secondly, Ronda is repeatedly leaving after WM. She's not going to be the victor. So, basically Stone Cold Becky Lynch is trying to take down "The Heartbreak Kid" Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, only "The Baddest (Wo)Man on the Planet" Ronda Rousey stands in her way? Triple H is also involved in a peripheral role. Boom period this summer!

If Kofi wins, Becky won't, and vice versa. I'm pretty convinced the loser will be Becky, because they're working so hard to pretend Rousey is a face the fans love. Oh, I've been certain for a while now that Charlotte walks out of Wrestlemania with the title. Gotta shoehorn her into the history books.

If Charlotte was in this match to win she would have won the Rumble and literally any step of her feud with Becky as it's played out so far.

Nah,she is definitely chosne outside of Kayfabe.Maybe not as hard as she was ,before she was the golden child of female wrestling.But still the girl Vince prefers personally.
