At least this one happened like a day beforehand and not like a month and a half like when Cena / Lesnar at SummerSlam leaked, I guess.
Man, it still kind of floors me that this is actually happening. Two months ago at the Rumble I was praying that Kofi would get a title shot at Mania but thought there was absolutely zero chance of it happening.

If you stopped watching around 2011 and then started watching again at this year's WM you'd be like "ah they're going for the belt? Makes sense" which is interesting lol. This feels like it should have been the main event of a WM years earlier. |

You mean that small dude who was getting beaten down?" "Yeah that's him." "What happened to him? Is this a new guy playing his character? Why does he look different?" "He really love the Earth and-" "Wait he's still got that gimmick? It's the same guy!?" |

"Wait until we get to the part where he lost in 18 seconds in the opener, and the fans were so mad they derailed the first half of the show, and then took over Raw the next night with Bryan chants the whole night." "Yeah, that sure happened." |

I cant decide if Brock, or the U.V title looks more like cgi in the thumbnail...
This build to mania has been buns, it's right up there with Mk11 (which im hype for) "oh? Its in 2 weeks? Oh? We havent revealed all the matches/ characters? Oh well. It'll sell on name".
It'd remind me of when your parents forget it's your birthday, if both companies weren't constantly reminding us of release date.
Just weird, if not arrogant.
I'm sure mania will be fun come day of, just hard to build interest this year due to start/stop stories.

"Also he has to retire due to concussions at the height of his popularity, and when he's cleared to come back two years later it's to team with Shane McMahon. Now let me tell you about Big Cass..." |

It really is weird to announce ond of your biggest matches one week before the show.
I mean they did worse with Taker vs Cena.But still weird

Yeah I've been banging on the "Kofi's rise to the top uplifted by his friends who love and respect him" drum for a few years now and my friends have generally written it off as a neat thing that'd never happen that I'm going to get hurt wishing for forever. But here we f***ing are. It's surreal. |

Its another one of those cases that if Ali didnt get injured,it probably never would Sort of like how if Becky/Ronda happened, the main event would look different. I kind of dig that about WWE; they have these vague plans and then when something happens they can sometimes surprise you with something way more interresting just because they go with a random idea and it takes off too hot to resist. |

And they signed AJ Styles who has been treated great." "Bull. Shit." "No, really! He's been booked way better than TNA! He's been WWE Champion! And that's after winning the IWGP Title!!" "What?! AJ "Turkey Suit" Styles was a top guy in New Japan AND the former World Wrestling Federation? Listen, stop the drugs." |
