Bayley should give up her WM shot to Trish Stratus. Trish Stratus v Iyo Sky would be sick, to be fair.

I've been laughing so hard since that promo. Hours have passed, and I'm still bewildered at this decision. Hogan at WM 9 wasn't even this bad. Just insane that this is what they decided to do. Cody looks like an absolute clown.

It has one of the worst down vote ratios since Roman won the Rumble 8 years ago Like what did they expect? Imagine sitting through the original Star Wars trilogy waiting for Luke to confront Darth Vader, just for George Lucas to switch it to Jar Jar, because he thinks he's more marketable. The top comments are crucifying them as well. It might actually be worth it to see the crowd hijack it.

So basically DWAYNE just became Triple H's boss and is inserting his out-of-shape ass into the Mania main event, shitting all over a storyline two years in the making? This about right?

A bunch wanted to see Mania after Cody won the Rumble. We can really only do the Sunday because of cost issues. Now none of the kids want to go. As much as adult hardcore fans dislike this, Cody Rhodes is like John Cena to young kids right now and they don't really have the same fascination with The Rock as older casual fans. He's still cool, but he's not * their* guy *We canceled the trip and are just going to Disneyland now, so happy ending for anyone wondering

At the very least, that is the optics of all this. I personally think this is a PR stunt to distract away from the Vince issue. It may have been directed from TKO themselves for all we know, but this is why you don't have business executives making wrestling decisions. WCW and TNA tried this like half a dozen times. Feel free to disagree with my take, it's really just speculation on my part

Worse part is they made Seth a bitch with his begging, then Cody a bitch with him stepping down. Bitch fight at Mania I guess.

It's almost like it isn't an issue of it being healthy or not and instead being overjoyed that your boy is holding the title for another year, cody isn't getting the title and upset that everyone else isn't as on board as you are. Probably not though, couldn't be And you got this from WHAT, exactly. I stated before WM last year I was fine with Cody winning and I would have been fine with him winning this year too. The thread I linked. I actually wasn't talking about Ace! If you like Roman and you want him to continue keeping on, that is a-ok. Plenty of people love him and even I can find the sick satisfaction in seeing some dude just win against everyone time after time. There is a bit of hardcore holly in all of us but yeah... If you just don't want Cody to have a moment and want Roman to continue winning just say so lmao. There's nothing wrong with that and turning it into "why is everyone so angry" is comical.

I was going to post a screengrab of @therock's mentions, but they are so bad that it breaks the forum's rules. YEEESH

The Rock went from unselfish megastar to the got-dang villain over Triple H. Who would have guessed it 20 years ago? Bro couldn't handle Black Adam bombing.

Batman gets the cops out of the sewers they're somehow still in and leads the charge to the courthouse then goes, "Nah, you kicked my ass last time, Bane, I'm good!" and Superman flies in to fight Bane instead then loses anyway and Gotham gets nuked.
