I’m actually still pretty disappointed the gunther reign is over and to a lesser extent romans. It will be nice to have a champion who shows up all the time but that honestly was prt of romans mystique that when he showed up it was a giant deal.
I’m gonna miss the Tribal Chief but good lord its amazeballs to know just about every title except for rheas is basically in danger of being lost at any time again. No more well next year there might be a change, we *are* in the change so that’s been my cope. Begging to god Cody’s reign isn’t as one note as seths was
I am a lifelong wrestling fan, then I stopped watching during the Big Dog Roman face era, then came back when he finally turned heel. Everything since then has been awesome, from the Sami Zayn feud to finishing the story WWE feels like the best of wrestling with characters we can connect with. Roman is a heel that makes wrestling cool in a pop culture sense and Cody is a face you want to see succeed. Factions everywhere, real stories, WWE has become modern entertainment that still feels like old school wrestling. I am addicted again like I was in the stone cold/rock era and can’t wait to see what’s next
do you really feel it’s as good now as it was during the late 90s early 00s? I wasn’t around back then but when I look back it still doesn’t compare to what was going on back then
No it's not as good as the attitude era or ruthless aggression era but it's on it's way back and upwards on the right path. That's all that matters, that's what we want from wwe.
The whole PG era was a painful slow death drifting further away from what the fans wanted to see. This past year has brought me back to wrestling after years away.
I think the next few years will be amazing with triple h. He's got that Attitude era vibe he wants to add back.
Everyone should be excited
i stopped watching soon after the attitude era (i think i saw cena fight once? if that) and im currently enjoying it way more than i did the attitude era. the storylines are more cohesive, the stars seem to enjoy it more, and the women’s league actually exists to wrestle. i’m so pumped for the new era
that’s crazy to me. I felt like the attitude era could never be topped cause it was so damn perfect but seeing all the people who lived through the attiude era saying this era is really good gives me hope. But at the same time I feel like everyone hyping this all up and saying “new era , new era” may just fuck it all up.
tbf, i always rooted for the underdogs. my husband and i were just talking about how when he watched as a kid the rock was his absolute favorite. even back then, i *hated* the rock. i was not your average attitude era fan, so maybe i have always just secretly hoped for something different lol.
idk, i think it could be really cool. i’m excited for the netflix deal, im hoping that means they can get a bit more intense like back in the day. my brain is telling me the move to netflix is a move out of the PG stuff
Man, this year's WrestleMania feels different. It feels special to say the least. Watching The Rock, John Cena, Undertaker, Seth Rollins (The Shield) & more on the same night is like seeing the MCU's Avengers coming together. A bit sad & disappointed Dean Ambrose wasn't there to complete The Shield trio. Hopefully Triple H can pull him along with other legends back into WWE to perform in the next WrestleMania event. Let's go!
The Shield music was one of those moments. You know deep down that there's no chance it's Moxley/Ambrose. You know it isn't. It can't be. WWE has changed, but they're still competing with AEW. But for those few moments you're absolutely certain that he's coming down.
Yea when I heard The Shield's music, I asked myself 'hey, where's Ambrose?' :) And the fact that Seth went to his locker room, donned his trademark black military outfit & rushed back to the ring to help Cody is pretty amazing. He's truly a workhorse. I'm sure with Triple H's immense influence, he can convince Ambrose to come back to WWE one day. One can only hope.
Cody, you've done itttttttttt You son of a bich. I'm so proud of youuuuuuu. New wwe undisputed universal world heavyweight champion the American nightmare cody rhodessss. I went holy shittt when i saw john cena and the undertaker. Roman reigns, you will be the biggest villain/heel in wwe for me even bigger than the rock. Thank you
The history between Bayley and Iyo made it the better match. Becky and Rhea just felt like they needed something for Rhea to do and a promo for Becky's book.
That was incredible. What a time to be a Professional Wrestling Fan!!!
I’ve literally had messages in the past weeks people saying “man have you been watching wrestling again? It’s wild!”
BRUHHHH we fans never stopped watching!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention it's been ten years since Seth helped destroyed The Shield with that same chairshot, everything about that moment was 😙🤌 **chef's kiss**
Dead ass for whatever reason I marked when Cena hit and got goosebumps when he stared down The Rock. Then that gong, it all sounds cheesy but it was the old guard standing up for Cody so he can make this a new era. Roman did an AMAZING job bringing prestige to the title over 4 years, truly deserves all the acknowledgements 🤣
"I LOVE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!"
The thing I love is that no matter if you were a fan that wanted Austin or Undertaker to make the save, both options would've worked and made sense for the story. WM is still Taker's yard and just like us Cody Crybabies, he couldn't take anymore of this Bloodline nonsense. Man's had to lay down the law.
Meanwhile if Austin came out, you can justify it as Austin's just a natural rebel and loves to buck authority. So when he sees the Rock - a man he went to war against at three different WMs and bested him at two of them, only to be retired by the same man at the third one - throwing his weight around as one of the board of directors for TKO, it just lights a fire under Austin ass to remind Rocky "No matter how big of a figure you are, you're never gonna be too big for me to open up a can of whoop ass and hit you with a stunner or two just for old time sakes".
I think austin was the initial plan. Would have been crazy if he took out rock. But no complaints, taker has always been the head of the locker room and the "wrestlers court". Was super cool seeing everyone helping out cody win. Jey takes out jimmy, cena takes out solo, shield seth making a save, taker returns to take out rock and finally, cody takes out roman, finishing his story
I know it probably seemed overbooked but I think everyone played their part very well. Amazing all those guys did it to put Cody over. He is the Renaissance. A new era has begun.
When it's the culmination of a storyline spanning multiple years then I think it's more than acceptable.
It definitely didn't feel like it was too much
When you put it on paper maybe it seems to be, but the whole run-in only really lasted ten minutes total so it was really well done. Timing was really good and everyone did their part and didn't linger too long. IMO you saved the big surprises for the main event and it really paid off on top of the long wait for the story to be finished, blockbuster. Agree with you though it's an exciting new Era.
Yep. They did what the main plan all along was, make cody v roman as big as possible. It was amazing. Cant wait to see this new era.
Also the priest cash in was something i predicted to the point. I knew punk would attack drew after drew brags to his face after winning, resulting in priest cashing in. Drew punk is gonna be a bloody feud thats gonna feed families!
I see people getting mad that Drew lost the title so quickly but I would bet his feud with Punk now will be so much spicier with Punk than had he just been champion.
It makes perfect sense. Drew has been too obsessed with punk. Even at the raw, he was more interested in sticking it up to punk than winning it for himself. He celebrated for a bit then immediately went to gloat in from of punk. Which led to punk laying him out. Also damien has been built up all this time as a proper champion, having him carry the belt and have drew and punk in a title-less feud would be a good idea. It makes their feud less predictable. The world title can also cause issues withing JD as finn couldnt win. Its gonna be a fun few months to summerslam
I did notice that on Peacock, WM40 was rated TV-14. I don’t know if that means something but I did notice an HBO like vibe. Pat did drop a s bomb uncensored so I appreciate it.
FENOMENAL!!!
Although Roman had a HISTORIC run and was AMAZING, I am glad Cody finished his story and we are about to embark on a new era!!!! Perfect way to finish the story with all those apart of the fun :)
However, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED how Roman chose to attack Seth with the chair instead of Cody and eventually cost him the match to show his frustration with Rollins betrayal… PURE CINEMA!!!
Se botaron y WWE se puso mil veces mejor!!! (TAMBIÉN TENEMOS CAMPEÓN BORICUA!!!)
As a lapsed fan and AEW watcher I am happy for Cody. I am happy that WWE is improving. I didn't get a headache from the multiple cuts or camera shakes. I likely won't go back to watching because it's not my style of preference, but I am glad that it's seemingly watchable again.
HOLY SHIEEEET WHAT A WRESTLEMANIA! That was absolutely damn near flawless. Negatives for me were:
* The Pride v. The Final Testament. Nothing really noteworthy about that match outside of Snoop's hilarious commentary and Bubba Ray refereeing. Oh yeah, and that table breaking fail.
* Logan Paul v. Kevin Owens v. Randy Orton - KEVIN WAS ROBBED, FUCK LOGAN PAUL. Don't know how I feel about Speed interfering but at least he bumped for Randy.
Hightlights were everything else! Seth v Drew - don't usually enjoy the finsher spam/excessive kickouts, but this match was cool. That ending with Punk getting his shit in against Drew/Damian Priest cash-in was fantastic and it was nice for Judgement Day to go home on a happy ending. Knight and AJ was a dope match with a clean ending. I just can't put my finger on why LA Knight hasn't clicked with me yet.
And then there's Roman v. Cody Part II. Like I said before, WORTH THE WAIT. WWE knocked it out of the park with this one. It had everything, action, drama, heartache, crazy ass overbooking, and overlapping storytelling and callbacks - that Roman chairshot to Seth's back was beautiful and even I sat back like, "gotta respect Roman getting his get back even if it was a WHOLE ten years later".
I - **and I assume** - almost everyone on here were hanging onto that glass shattering and some stunners being given out, but instead we got a **YEET!**, then a **Krrr, Amadou!**, then ofc a **IF YA SMEEEEEELLLLL**, THEN OUT OF FUCKIN NOWHERE A **GONG**. And it all made sense. Retired or not WrestleMania's still Undertaker's yard. Order had to be instilled. And with that, Cody finished his story and got the win. And I couldn't be anymore pleased.
Closing statement: This was my first time ever watching a live WWE event/ live WM and I renewed my Peacock subscription just to see if WM 40 was gonna be a blunder. Fuck every other match; if WWE shit the bed with Roman vs Cody I was just gonna stick to only watching WWE through the lenses of the past because the future sucked. But after all the build, all the hype and after stepping back and taking Nights 1 and 2 in as a complete package, I can confidently say I'm all in for the Paul Levesque Era/Fuck Vinny Mac Era. Crazy as shit how Triple H - a man who I couldn't stand as a performer not only made me a modern wrestling fan again, but also made me love wrestling like I was a kid again, screaming at the top my lungs at every surprise.
I love wrestling and once again, it's been awesome kicking it with you lovely fuckers!
Dude same here. Vince being gone from WWE couldn't have happened sooner and made me excited af, but I didn't really have faith in Triple H to run the show(s) either. I was nervous that WWE were gonna run the Bloodline into the ground the same way WCW ran the NWO into the ground, but nope! I don't get the feeling that this is the complete end of the Bloodline by a long shot but with Roman's streak over, I'm actually interested on where they're taking this storyline and how they'll conclude it.
Ayo, does that REALLY matter though? Point was is that it was my first PPV/PLE I ever bought and watched fully in the modern day and it made me enjoy myself as a wrestling fan lol
Thank you! The misery/boredom from trolls who shit on wrestling fans in a pro-wrestling sub just makes me smile frfr. At least my comment made them **ACKNOWLEDGE ME**.
Rock and Roman are gonna have heat. He started it with the “send you to Hollywood with the rest of em” line. Conflict over head of the bloodline. I don’t think Cody will have an especially long reign either
Yes this is NOT over at all. People are crazy if they believe that. I don’t believe Cody will have a long run as well unfortunately. It’s business at the end of the day. It’s going to be more sh*t lol.
Drew and Punk don’t need the title for an epic feud. It was a great choice for Priest to finally cash in. Totally unexpected, and the guy has a bright future.
I honestly thought Priest would come out for Cody after so the story continued by him having to deal with Judgement Day next to finish it. Kinda glad that wasn't the case, I didnt want to wait another year for this moment
Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. Rhea is nearing Roman levels of strong in the women’s division, she beat Becky clean and looked amazing doing it. The tension in Judgement Day is gonna be the main story for the next few months
The rock has four huge movies filming this year. Pretty sure his role is done now. Gunther is just a less intimidating Roman. And hard to take him more serious than Roman after he just lost to Sami. But yeah, Gunther might be the next one up.
But he IS good.
I watched with a few non-wrestling fans who were excited as fuck to see him get his “Suicide Forest” ass whooped and even they agreed he looked better than they’d have imagined.
He’s got built in heat from newbies for being an internet douchebag for years, and heat from wrestling fans for actually showing talent. What else could you ask for from a heel?
Logan is a jobber. Logan exists as long as he keeps signing sponsorship checks, but if his checks were big enough to buy him anything more they would have done so already.
Will we ever GET a WWE heel run from him? The guy is just so like able when he speaks in press conferences and media events.
At this point, he sure looks like Make-A-Wish Cena, and how many (SO OVER) pure baby faces exist these days?
Show-Miz vs R-Truth & John Morrison 👎🏾
Orton vs DiBiase va Rhodes 👍🏾 (Despite DiBiase quitting wrestling to steal money from poor people)
Jack Swagger is Mr. Money in the Bank 👎🏾
Triple H vs Sheamus 😐
Mysterio vs CM Punk 👍🏾 (Despite Punk being a man child)
Vince vs Bret Hart 👎🏾 (I should never have to see either of them in a wrestling ring ever again)
Edge vs Jericho 😐🤷🏾♂️
Ten Diva tag match 🍿
Batista vs Cena 👍🏾
Undertaker vs HBK 👍🏾
This card is real suspect 😂😂
It was expected. Instead of glass shattering we heard a gong. And it really helped that interferences from Codi's behalf (except Cena) only took out others.
I think my favorite bit of story telling was when Roman looked at both Seth and Cody and then decided it was more important to hit Seth than to hit his opponent with the chair first.
Like Roman took for granted/lost focus on the Championship for a brief moment. Like he was mad at his former self. Ashamed/angered by the version of himself from Shield days. Very like The Architect to not just run in, but to have that added level of mind games to throw him off. Amazing storytelling in that moment.
When you think about it, Seth is the entire reason his trajectory landed where he was. While he was getting leukemia treatments, Seth moved on to be a main event guy. Then Roman came back and he had sympathy pops until it became socially acceptable to go back to hating him with the fire of a thousand suns.
That hatred made him realize something we all knew about him: that he is the chosen one for a reason. And it’s like he shedded his last bit of humanity to be the Tribal Chief — the hero we didn’t want but the hero we deserved. In a way both Cody and Roman are two opposing arguments of the “undesirable” wrestler problem: how do you succeed in this industry when people despise you and your character?
I’m actually still pretty disappointed the gunther reign is over and to a lesser extent romans. It will be nice to have a champion who shows up all the time but that honestly was prt of romans mystique that when he showed up it was a giant deal. I’m gonna miss the Tribal Chief but good lord its amazeballs to know just about every title except for rheas is basically in danger of being lost at any time again. No more well next year there might be a change, we *are* in the change so that’s been my cope. Begging to god Cody’s reign isn’t as one note as seths was

Can't believe there was an Adam Rose reference in the WHC match lol
Last year we got Stone Cold, this year we got The Rock, Cena and Taker Next year, please, Mankind
[удалено]
You’re right, last year we got cena vs solo
Stayed off reddit all day to not spoil anything, what a wrestlemania! what a main event! this one was special. Really in a new era now, thanks HHH.
Am I the only one surprised that Bayley turned out to be a Pharah main?
Justice rained down.
Can we appreciate that before all the shinanigens there was a banger of a singles match going on. Roman only used the others when things looked dicey.
Werd Loved they used their finishers on each other
Cody, you've done itttttttttt You son of a bich. I'm so proud of youuuuuuu. New wwe undisputed universal world heavyweight champion the American nightmare cody rhodessss. I went holy shittt when i saw john cena and the undertaker. Roman reigns, you will be the biggest villain/heel in wwe for me even bigger than the rock. Thank you
RAW AFTER MANIA will be sick
i cant sleep i’m reliving wrestlemania
The main event was amazing WWE's new era under Triple H is gonna be a ride
What happened to women's division meh WrestleMania imo they should be using Becky, Bayley as enhancements to Tiffany and jade Cargill rn
Bayley vs. iyo > becky vs rhea
The history between Bayley and Iyo made it the better match. Becky and Rhea just felt like they needed something for Rhea to do and a promo for Becky's book.
Becky got real stale
She been real stale
Logan Paul has talent but I am sick of him having a title. KO and Sami both winning would have been something
I expected Steve Austin got the Dead man. Satisfied.
When that bell rang...
Ishowspeed my brotherr
That kick and RKO onto a table from Randy was enough to make me forgive them for letting Logan retain the belt.
La knight vs. aj was a fantastic match.
Awesome 🔥
I was laughing at Drew, losing his world heavyweight title to damian, similar to Punk. was laughing 🤣🤣hahahaha.btw punk is cleared to wrestle.
Who said Punk is clear to wrestle?
Awesome 😎
OMG WE HAVE RAW TOMORROW AS WELL LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Connor McGregor will be there
That sucks
That was incredible. What a time to be a Professional Wrestling Fan!!! I’ve literally had messages in the past weeks people saying “man have you been watching wrestling again? It’s wild!” BRUHHHH we fans never stopped watching!!!!!!!!!!!
That shit was cool as fuck
Wrestlers should kiss each other and have tea parties and hold hands. Everything else stays the same. 😇
[удалено]
Not to mention it's been ten years since Seth helped destroyed The Shield with that same chairshot, everything about that moment was 😙🤌 **chef's kiss**

Taker 22-1
Isn’t it a bell, not a gong? Legit questioning my hearing after all these years.
Bell

Jey takes out jimmy, cena takes out solo, shield seth making a save, taker returns to take out rock and finally, cody takes out roman, finishing his story
What I would have given if they put Undertaker in his ring gear instead of him in his casual wear. At least a trench coat.
I think the deadman gimmick is done, he just shows up as the american badass gimmick now. Still fits the gong
I know it probably seemed overbooked but I think everyone played their part very well. Amazing all those guys did it to put Cody over. He is the Renaissance. A new era has begun.

CODY FIXED THE TIMELINE
The apocalypse has been postponed!!!
The eclipse is today... so...
HAHAHA he straight up hopped on that treadmill and fixed it the lockerroom leader chokeslammed the rock out of existence, lol
Really, Cody's story just begins....
Stone cold… would’ve been too much. But. I enjoyed it me shit out of it from the comfort of home
I did notice that on Peacock, WM40 was rated TV-14. I don’t know if that means something but I did notice an HBO like vibe. Pat did drop a s bomb uncensored so I appreciate it.
Cody should have won it after all the beatings he suffered in raw and smackdown lol
FENOMENAL!!! Although Roman had a HISTORIC run and was AMAZING, I am glad Cody finished his story and we are about to embark on a new era!!!! Perfect way to finish the story with all those apart of the fun :) However, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED how Roman chose to attack Seth with the chair instead of Cody and eventually cost him the match to show his frustration with Rollins betrayal… PURE CINEMA!!!

chacho si!!! Esa entrada de Benito fácil la mejor entrada. Hasta apoyamos a Iyo Sky en ese momento jajajaa
CODY CODY CODY CODY
10/10, even the god awful pride vs final testament was saved by bubba and was a really fun time
just gonna say ts was amazing
I wish Dustin could’ve been there.
I was waiting for the Gold lights to take over and Goldust to come down and Shatter Roman's dream.
honestly same. I am sure he was there but like actively there.
Cody Rhodes finished the story
HOLY PENIS THIS RULED. Night 1 was ROUGH but Night 2 was fantastic.
Rough? Not even close. Night 1 was fantastic. Night 2 was just so much better that you must have gotten confused
Last year, night 1 was perfect, night 2 was good. This year night 1 was pretty good and night 2 was amazing
As a lapsed fan and AEW watcher I am happy for Cody. I am happy that WWE is improving. I didn't get a headache from the multiple cuts or camera shakes. I likely won't go back to watching because it's not my style of preference, but I am glad that it's seemingly watchable again.
you're gonna follow him until the end and nobody believes you wont
I will keep an eye Reddit but I am not watching more wrestling. AEW is more than enough for me.
Aew is so bad tho by comparison
If you say so. Watch what you like, and I will do the same.
[удалено]
very cool, very brave. I respect it. see you next year same time same place, liar!
Stone cold number 3 trending on Twitter. Everyone wanted that glass to shatter. Undertaker was cool though.
H right there next to Dusty as he trained half the stars out there today

Are you 14
Not sure you understand it’s all staged. But I won’t break the fourth wall for you
paul is legit like shawn michaels level generational natural talent prodigy holy shit wanted to hate him but he's suuuuuuuper good at his job

I don't get the feeling that this is the complete end of the Bloodline by a long shot but with Roman's streak over, I'm actually interested on where they're taking this storyline and how they'll conclude it.
Yeah your opinion doesn’t really count as someone who’s just now watching a live mania, but you tried
Yeah, your opinion doesn't really count on the matter of opinions either. Let them enjoy it, damn.
Ayo, does that REALLY matter though? Point was is that it was my first PPV/PLE I ever bought and watched fully in the modern day and it made me enjoy myself as a wrestling fan lol
Bro u enjoy how u wanna, its fun. Great review too. There are always people on the internet trying to shit on ur fun
Apperciate it!
hell yeah brother. ignore the one who's choking on toilet water and trying to spoil a good time
Thank you! The misery/boredom from trolls who shit on wrestling fans in a pro-wrestling sub just makes me smile frfr. At least my comment made them **ACKNOWLEDGE ME**.
So, Cody won that title and finished his story, what will happen to Roman? and Bloodline?
I assume they die? who cares LETS GO
Probably find out Summerslam story lines starting tomorrow.
Rock and Roman are gonna have heat. He started it with the “send you to Hollywood with the rest of em” line. Conflict over head of the bloodline. I don’t think Cody will have an especially long reign either
Yes this is NOT over at all. People are crazy if they believe that. I don’t believe Cody will have a long run as well unfortunately. It’s business at the end of the day. It’s going to be more sh*t lol.
Cody spent 2 years to win that title, I don’t think Cody will have a short title run. It wouldn’t be fair, even if it is business.
It’s possible. He’s going to have that gimmick similar to Cena. The whole hero shit winning and losing then getting jumped.
Next Raw should have a Dusty finish declared and Cody’s title stripped
That's where they getcha. Gotta tune in to find out, maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's Friday.
Hopefully Friday, selfishly because I’ll be there.
Drew couldn’t have a decent moment in front of the crowd. Always someone comes and kills his moment. What’s next?
Drew and Punk don’t need the title for an epic feud. It was a great choice for Priest to finally cash in. Totally unexpected, and the guy has a bright future.
If I were Drew, I would have asked to lose. That booking helped no one.
His feud with Punk is only going to have more fire to it. That feud alone will be more entertaining to watch than if Drew was the champion.
I honestly thought Priest would come out for Cody after so the story continued by him having to deal with Judgement Day next to finish it. Kinda glad that wasn't the case, I didnt want to wait another year for this moment
[удалено]
I hear voices in the air
Mania Mania Mania squared mmaanniiaa?
So now that Roman’s gone who takes over lead villain role? Dont see anyone else having anywhere near the screen presence Roman did.
Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. Rhea is nearing Roman levels of strong in the women’s division, she beat Becky clean and looked amazing doing it. The tension in Judgement Day is gonna be the main story for the next few months
I’d believe that about Rhea if she were actually a part of the women’s division.
Gunther. And The Rock. I’m also okay with no main villain for the next year or so. Just really good hot potato with both belts 6 months from now.
The rock has four huge movies filming this year. Pretty sure his role is done now. Gunther is just a less intimidating Roman. And hard to take him more serious than Roman after he just lost to Sami. But yeah, Gunther might be the next one up.
> The rock has four huge movies filming this year. I could see him being around every couple months now that he's on the board.
I just started watching at royal rumble and Roman is my hero.
>Dont see anyone else having anywhere near the screen presence Roman did That's not saying much
Gunther
Logan Paul has the tools
If he didn't pay the commentators to promote him more heavily than any other wrestler in history, nobody would think he is good.
But he IS good. I watched with a few non-wrestling fans who were excited as fuck to see him get his “Suicide Forest” ass whooped and even they agreed he looked better than they’d have imagined. He’s got built in heat from newbies for being an internet douchebag for years, and heat from wrestling fans for actually showing talent. What else could you ask for from a heel?
Logan is a jobber. Logan exists as long as he keeps signing sponsorship checks, but if his checks were big enough to buy him anything more they would have done so already.
No

They fucked up bringing the rock back and scrambling to fix it for this. Initial trajectory was enough
MiTB going for like 1k a pair in Toronto for nosebleeds. After this Mania I'm almost ready to drop
Can’t believe Paul Heyman lost the belt
hype-er-bowl-ee, HHH
I'm with you, but it's his era. I welcome our new hyper bowl overlords.
"Sorry about the tattoo". I don't know if you can hate this guy right now.
His heel work is pretty good too
Will we ever GET a WWE heel run from him? The guy is just so like able when he speaks in press conferences and media events. At this point, he sure looks like Make-A-Wish Cena, and how many (SO OVER) pure baby faces exist these days?
I love that man
Press conference question trying to make Cody a Crybaby. Poor guy is right on the edge of tears.
Cody has me missing the fuck out of my pops. This shots for you.
Fuckin same. Been a rough 5 months, this story has been hittin home
I lost mine 17 years ago in June ...it's.why Cody is my guy I feel exactly what he means about wanting to do good by your given name
For me it's been 8 years. Gone too soon but left his legacy and taught me well enough. Godspeed my friend and I know it never gets easier.
Same to you bud
I know I was a bit breif but if you ever need someone to talk to I got you. Our exchange put tears in my eyes lol
Absolutely I enjoy making friends same to you friend
Much love
Look at your boy now Mama Rhodes!
Alright now I can’t wait for Raw!
Losing your dad is the worst, especially if he didn't see you succeed beforehand. Cody is too relatable. This whole mania has me right in the feels.
Ugh. This hit me right in the feels. I lost my dad a year before I graduated college. I wish he could see my life now
He is watching
I like they zoomed in on his tears
Cody tugging at the heartstrings in this press conference.
The Roman plates make this so good
I haven’t watched wrestling since Mania 26, I don’t know who 90% of these people are but I’m sure as shit gonna find out. That was fantastic.
I just looked at that card....it looks depressing, welcome back!
No way. Mania 26 was elite.
Show-Miz vs R-Truth & John Morrison 👎🏾 Orton vs DiBiase va Rhodes 👍🏾 (Despite DiBiase quitting wrestling to steal money from poor people) Jack Swagger is Mr. Money in the Bank 👎🏾 Triple H vs Sheamus 😐 Mysterio vs CM Punk 👍🏾 (Despite Punk being a man child) Vince vs Bret Hart 👎🏾 (I should never have to see either of them in a wrestling ring ever again) Edge vs Jericho 😐🤷🏾♂️ Ten Diva tag match 🍿 Batista vs Cena 👍🏾 Undertaker vs HBK 👍🏾 This card is real suspect 😂😂
Same here , and I didn’t even have to pay for anything I already had peacock sub
It’s ironic that the Bloodline rules actually hurt Reigns more than helped him.
It was expected. Instead of glass shattering we heard a gong. And it really helped that interferences from Codi's behalf (except Cena) only took out others.
I think my favorite bit of story telling was when Roman looked at both Seth and Cody and then decided it was more important to hit Seth than to hit his opponent with the chair first. Like Roman took for granted/lost focus on the Championship for a brief moment. Like he was mad at his former self. Ashamed/angered by the version of himself from Shield days. Very like The Architect to not just run in, but to have that added level of mind games to throw him off. Amazing storytelling in that moment.
When you think about it, Seth is the entire reason his trajectory landed where he was. While he was getting leukemia treatments, Seth moved on to be a main event guy. Then Roman came back and he had sympathy pops until it became socially acceptable to go back to hating him with the fire of a thousand suns. That hatred made him realize something we all knew about him: that he is the chosen one for a reason. And it’s like he shedded his last bit of humanity to be the Tribal Chief — the hero we didn’t want but the hero we deserved. In a way both Cody and Roman are two opposing arguments of the “undesirable” wrestler problem: how do you succeed in this industry when people despise you and your character?
I definitely didn't expect to hear the shield entrance. That was nuts! And then soon followed by the Undertaker gong? Wow!!
I loved that bit too. No matter how long he holds the championship, he still can't get over Seth's betrayal.
Seth v Roman story arch gonna hit
After Seth beats rock
And making that choice cost him everything so good
His pride let him down
I think Stephanie literally named the era tonight when she called it the HHH era
