Honestly in light of the Ashley Massaro stuff I kind of find it hard to even care at this point. Feel like the real standout of the press conference will be someone asking about it and Triple H giving an incomprehensibly bad answer again.

Somebody better ask about it.

I'm hoping and praying someone does ask about it.
The only thing I'm worried about, besides Hunter being a dumbass again, is what the reaction will be of the audience in attendance if/when it's asked. Will they boo the question being asked? If that happens, it'll take every fiber in my body to not say something that would get me banned here.

If they try to stretch Roman/Rock out to next years Wrestlemania they’re tripping balls.

1) who even knows what the WWE will look like by next Wrestlemania….civil settlement will be a massive payout, who knows who else will get implicated in Vince’s raping, not to mention anything else crazy that has yet to come out.

2) the Rock and Roman both very well could be injured or otherwise by next year

3) there really going to try to stretch out the head of the table BS for an entire year when both guys will probably only show up every few months by the anyways.

I just don’t see it. Especially since they changed the titles of clips to sound better for the Rock. He’s going to face Roman at WM. This is pro wrestling: ego and nepotism always prevails..

Never stopped them from booking a Rock mania main event a year early before.

WrestleMania 2000's main event had a McMahon in every corner, WreestleMania XL's main event is gonna have a wrestling journalist in every corner!

Great idea!

One corner can be The Rock and Meltzer. When Rock starts the match instead of going full force he just stutters around and somehow the ring is covered in trash and the place is a mess.

One corner can be Cody Rhodes and Sean Ross Sapp. Cody is the favorite in the match but gets weirdly personal and aggressive out of nowhere, causing the fans to think "damn I want this guy to win but why is he so pissy right now?"

One corner can be Drew McIntyre and Alvarez. Drew comes into the match hot but for whatever reason, keeps screaming "NXT WOMEN!?" at random times in the match. Nobody understands why.

Last corner is Seth Rollins and Pete Select. There are banana peels everywhere, the crowd's favorite.

Midway through the match, Nick Hausman grabs a mic and runs into the center of the ring screaming, “What about me? What about Hausman?!?”

Everyone (journalists, the wrestlers, the ref) all proceed to kick the living shit out of him.

Buy rates would go through the roof. I'd pay damn good money to watch the sketchy bugger get battered.

I'm going to assume this thread will be the temporary "official press conference thread"?

If so when does the conference start? I'm making popcorn and cookies.

I might make a proper one for it soon, so it doesn’t get lost in this 10 month old thread originally started to discuss the WM39 match finish.

4pm Pacific time is the start time, so that’s in about 17 hours time.

Ah brilliant, all good. Ok so in that case it starts in the UK around 12am.. yeah, I might just get that popcorn anyway. To hell with work the next day!

This Ashley stuff isn't exactly new. I remember reading about it awhile ago. The best answer is "no comment" with a lawsuit out there. It would be dumb for any executive to say anything about any of these accusations.

I asked that kid who’s a huge wrestling fan (2nd or third grade I think) what he thought about The Rock possibly taking Cody’s spot at WrestleMania: “It’s annoying”. Made my f***ing day;

The Rock still feuding with third graders like 2012 never ended, except now the adults all hate his ass too lmfao

[fw91]

A thread in off topic got me thinking. WWE should totally troll everyone and stage a production of “Not Without My Anus,” starringPretty Deadly instead of holding this presser.

[ben:friendship frog]

I wonder if all the Cena kids who hated Rock during that feud have all grown up and are pissed too. Cody is part of their childhood too.

[ben:friendship frog]

If they do actually pivot and have Roman working both nights I would bet my house on them having Cody vs Roman on night one. Even though it makes no f***ing sense.

[polarbearpete]

Meltzer indicating triple threat not in the cards but Roman fighting twice might be:

[deezy]

I wanna see Rock vs Roman. Imo, It is a dream match. I just don't want to see it at the expense of Cody at WM 40. Rock vs Roman at Summerslam, Yes. Hell even next year at WM I'm down for it. Now is not the time.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Either doing a tournament or Cody having a match with solo earlier in the show would work fine. Hell, even just doing the Mania 9 thing I think would be tolerable, since the Cody match would obviously be the far longer one and it leaves the door open to do a rubber match.

Even Cody beating Roman night one then doing the Rock match night two would work. Just whatever it is get this nonsense over with already.

First Raw on Netflix, drive subscriptions up right off the bat, point to that number forever when you want more Netflix money. That’s when you do Rock/Roman.
