A 50% chop from GUNTHER would turn Rock into a pile of dust.

Imagine if they have Roman defend each belt in one match so that Cody can end the WWE one while the Universal one keeps limping along to pass Hogan.

Roman has effectively become the new HBK at WM14 in regards to this storyline. Didn't think it would happen but he's like a third wheel.

I've lost the plot. No idea what's going on anymore. This is either Rock cutting a promo to try and lure some of the casuals that are booing back onto his side or he's going full Hollywood Rock at this presser. If it's not a heel promo, he still kind of looks like an asshole so I'm not sure that it's going to achieve much.

Then you've got Cody's "decision Instagram" and I just have no idea what's going on anymore. The "I've made my decision" could just as easily be "guys, I did this, it's done, don't hijack this presser."

This whole thing is like if Mike Tyson showed up and was fighting HBK for the title instead of Stone Cold and did a promo talking about the "Cold Stone crybabies".

I'm watching more of it and ngl, I think you're disappointing yourself expecting hollywood rock back. Right after some preening and the segment that was linked earlier, he goes on to talk about how Roman/Rock has been "the story" longer than Cody's and none of it seems heel.

[polarbearpete]

That smells that he’s leaning into heel Rock a bit here.

I don't think they know what's going on either. Seems like even within WWE, it's devolved into everyone for themselves.

I think if they actually go through with Roman/Rock they’re gonna get wild blowback the entire time. If anything, it’s at least an interesting science experiment to see what would have happened if they just went with Orton/Batista at 30.

Let's go with the official clip.

Aye man, he kinda cooked a little bit I can't even front

Not going to lie, he won me back a bit with that. The Twitter/X wrestling fans who obsessively post about this, whether in general or directly to the Rock, deserve to get ragged on. That was a babyface promo for me.

Rock's tirade isn't gonna help matters, either.

“I love Cody and most of his fans but only a few fans of his are crybabies” doesn’t sound like a coherent heel character to me. Nothing that has happened seems coherent.

This entire saga has been anything but coherent.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

Listened to even more and I will gladly take the egg on my face if I'm wrong but this is full on delusional and I am definitely thinking it is Rock/Roman and Cody/Seth/Drew/Sami. That or they still haven't decided and he went on today to try to push things for either limiting the damage or sway things over.

Well it won’t be too much longer until we see the entire plan put into action if Meltzer is right that everything will be settled by the end of the press conference.

Codys sister is talking about Dwayne?

I'd settle for just announcing, "Look, we'll settle it at SummerSlam." It'd still be shitty and I wouldn't watch Mania but I really just want a reassurance that this Roman reign isn't going another goddamn year.

Like Rock’s answers sounds exactly like when a politician will go “I think ___ is a good and decent man, and I think most of [opponent’s political party] are good decent people, but [insert negative point].”
