I found this out after I popped a tire and was pulled over on the off shoulder off an exit ramp on the freeway. NGL, I laughed my ass off and it took my mind off the tire. Uhhh yeah this sucks lol. I literally asked a kid today who was a wrestling fan who he thought Cody was going to choose at ‘Mania. He said “Roman! It has to be Roman! Cody has to beat him!” f***ing..hell lol Punk ruins everything. He ruined AEW he inadvertently ruined WrestleMania. WWE has been insanely great this last year and Vince, f***ing Vince, and his hubris has just cratered it, it feels. Like his ego always did. Royal Rumble felt like it had the wind knocked out of it and now this. Given the circumstances with why WWE has to shuffle things around with injuries and Vince, let alone whatever's next to come from it. They are doing what they think is the "best route to take." for business. When the People's Champion just got hoed by Corporate Rock. Lol. I'm interested to see what level the crowd turns on this. |

Honestly I would not be shocked whatsoever if Rock wins and it comes out later, "Roman was due to go over then last minute Rock insisted he should win to set up a rematch," that then never happens. Rock: "I got a great idea. I come out with Black Adam inspired gear, and Roman comes out in Superman inspired gear." Triple H: "Roman's the villain though." Rock: "Yeah. So anyway, I win. That will show them, that will show everybody! The hierarchy of power is gonna change." Triple: "I don't..." Rock: "I'm the boss and that's what is happening." |

Guys you're all getting it wrong, cant believe it's taken 80+ pages to realise but the main event is Rock vs RoWan - Twice in a lifetime From Brian Gewirtz's own book, the idea was always to have two matches and the Once in a Lifetime slogan was happily agreed to by Rock, knowingly using a marketing tactic that decieved fans |

There is a bit of hardcore holly in all of us There really is. You'd be surprised at how much of our debates really just boil down to "My favourite should win all the time and never lose". |

Sacrificing the crowning moment for your new top guy by canceling the entire moment when you're already past the point of no return, all to tank Wrestlemania with a big news story hated enough to make people stop talking about your founder being under a federal sex trafficking investigation, is some of the most callous shit I can imagine. Cody put in all that work, got his plans f***ed last minute a year ago, all so he can now sit on the verge of his dream coming true, and it's thrown away for a heady mix of a failing actor's ego and so the company can perform a human sacrifice.

Remember when WWE spent all of Survivor Series a few years ago sucking off The Rock and promotiong his new movie, and he didn't even send a pretaped promo in? And now they 'feel like they need' him. It's kind of wild. but... Egg! |

I think if I were to guess how they'll try to salvage this, assuming they even want to given it just kind of in general strikes me like they never had any intention of Cody beating Roman in the first place, they'll have him beat Seth, get beaten down by the Bloodline on Raw leading to a Priest cash-in, then he'll win Money in the Bank and face Roman at SummerSlam. Which sounds shitty and awful but if it ends this reign before another year passes then what the hell ever.

Well, this blows. You either die The Rock, or live long enough to become Dwayne Johnson. |

Vince’s face while holding up the egg and the randos going nuts is peak senile wwe momenting. |

I do kinda hope Cody just cashes in at like Elimination Chamber, it's been done before >-> just do a I said I'd let Rock face you at Mania... but that's unfortunately going to have to be non-title. >_> or something. |

I do hope the rubber chicken business sees a sudden spike in profitability in the eastern Pennsylvania area soon.

I am very happy Rock/Roman is going to happen! It is the perfect huge match for a milestone Mania like WM40.
As far as Cody goes, I'm sure everyone wants their story to end with beating the biggest opponent at the biggest show of the year in the main event for the biggest title, but it doesn't have to go like that. Ideally, Rock dethrones Roman, sets things right with the family, and then he puts over Cody in the summer. You can do Roman/Cody after that, and Cody proves himself there by going over Roman. They can very well still make this work, but it depends on Rock's commitment to it.

Following WWE is getting to be more trouble than it’s worth.
The disgusting rape culture that seemingly existed for decades is flat-out depressing and although Vince who was the master of f***ing over the fans is gone, we still get this kind of backstage politic stuff affecting the storylines on TV.
The entire product has felt stagnant for almost a year, and you know if Rock and Roman face off at Mania it will be a 95% chance of Roman retaining with interference and Michael Cole squawking about how he’s the GOAT and then he’ll f*** off for another 2-3 months.
The best we can hope for is Cody taking Seth’s consolation belt. Or the fans can pull a Yes Movement 2.0 and get Cody into a triple threat, but that’s just copium at this point.
I’m probably overreacting because it’s 3:00 AM and I can’t sleep and I will probably cringe at this later but I’m starting to question why I even still care about the company. Instead of consuming the negativity I feel like I need to go read a book or something.

You don't have a past his prime part timer end a 3 year long title reign by a guy that has basically buried the entire roster. The person that ends the title reign needs to be someone like Cody, someone fresh that can be a new face in the company for years. Rock winning it does literally nothing and actually just makes the current roster look worse. |

I don’t know why EGG always being in all caps by you and everyone else kills me so much but thank you for cheering me up with it Because WWE hyped the shit out of a prop for a movie, and not just any movie but a Netflix original that wasn't The Adam Project or Roma. They were acting like the EGG was bigger than Dorothy's ruby slippers, or Vader's lightsaber, or Indy's whip. It was a got-dang EGG, and WWE was acting like it's a priceless Hollywood artifact. |

Rocky’s body is going explode into a million little pieces the first time Roman makes the tiniest impact on him. Then what?
Like, nobody is seriously expecting an actual *match* out of Steroids McGymmuscles, right? The guy ripped his own guts out the last time and that was before any elementary school-aged fans were even *born*.
He was blown after doing literally one move and delivering a promo that barely hindered Jinder. And somebody with authority thinks “yeah, here’s our big Wrestlemania 40 main-eventer.
I hope Rocky’s not scheduled to film any movies in the near future, otherwise Mr Seven Bucks is gonna **** up a lot of working people’s jobs at risk.
And that’s not even taking into account how much of a popcorn fart it’d be having the guy who killed the DCEU (and should’ve been charged with the financial crimes he absolutely committed in the process) end the longest title reign in decades.
I don’t like it 😛
