But that’s nonsense really? Jey has been marketed because he got massively over. They didn’t try to force it down people’s throats, it happened naturally. It’s just becoming silly at this point from some people. Wouldn’t the company be stupid not to react to somebody who has got themselves this over? Or should they just ignore it and ignore the fact he’s hugely over and now showing they made the right decision by pulling the trigger on him based on crowd reactions and merchandise sales?

Any idea when tickets will go on sale for RAW in Birmingham on August 25th?
I know it's really feckin' dumb, but I absolutely love the El Grande Americano storyline.
I feel Wrestlemania is too padded, with them trying to incorporate too many stories. The Cena/ Cody build has been nothing really. Huge difference to the Cody/ Rock build from last year.
There was no need for the Rock to get involved this year. That part could've easily been played by Steph or HHH as they'd be involved throughout the angle. An excellent heel turn is now turning into a nothing heel turn except one good promo 2 weeks ago.
There are too many gaps in this storyline. Seth helping Cena win the chamber and then not getting involved in the feud. Cena not mentioning The Rock,. Even Punk has mentioned The Rock more times than Cena. The Rock not showing up. They completely fecked this up.
Triple H out!
The issue with Cena and Rock being part timers. If Cena wanted to main event Wrestlemania at least show up to every Raw/ Smackdown inbetween EC and WM.
Seth didn't help Cena win the chamber though. He just stopped Punk from winning it.
The Rock not being around is shite though.
Is Rock even going to turn up at mania? What about Travis Scott? 
It does feel like Cenas turn has lost so much momentum which is a shame.

Solid chance I watch the last of us straight after wrestlemania on Sunday. Gonna be knackered.

I feel like Rock will turn up and then the glass will shatter. The Austin Rock staredown will be massive. (The rumours were they wanted Austin last year but couldn't strike a deal leading to Taker doing it). Reckon they've sorted it and want the bigger impact.
But how does that fit into the storyline? At least last year the Rock was involved in the build-up, so his main rival coming in to take him out made sense. I suppose it's a continuation of that story, but seems a bit stale to do it this year.
Imagine if Austin then turns on Cody too leading to some big ol' tag match with Cena, Austin and Rock on one side. Austin wouldn't need to do a lot it sells itself
I'd rather they don't interfere in the match. Have The Rock try to ruin Cody's celebration and then Austin comes out with the milk truck.
Or just have Cena win it loloutloud
I don't want a near repeat of last year, if Cody is going to win just have him win.

This would be funny.
This is the type of fantasy booking where people (not necessarily you), will say a show is bad because whatever they cooked up in their head didn't come to fruition.
100%, people do this all the time and get disappointed. What does Austin have to do with this at all?!
If anything this will be the ‘empire strikes back’ of the Rock and Cody feud and Cena will win.
Let's get a Cody heel turn where he becomes Dashing Cody Rhodes again.
Nah preferably Stardust
“I support our president. Trump is one of those guys where he’s got a vast history and a huge background. He’s been in entertainment. He’s been in big business, politics,” Anoa’i says. “At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country. Positive and competent leadership. For us to be what we’re supposed to be—to be a world leader and carry that respect and do what a world power like us should be doing.” Roman Reigns
Welp.
Welp.
Apparently he put a clause in his contract not to have any stardust stuff
No longer my tribal chief
Is there any chance Samoa Joe ever comes back? I like him.
Not if Trump has his way.

Someone will pop up to get involved in the main event. Maybe Orton pops up in a surprise match too.
I've got too many belts changing hands there.

Orton vs Solo seems somewhat likely, Orton wins if it happens.
4 title changes…
Roman also said he has 1-2 years left in wrestling. I want another Roman title reign though 
Did he say why? I always get worried with his health but hoping it's because he's just on to brighter thingsRoman also said he has 1-2 years left in wrestling. I want another Roman title reign though
Said he would need to take on a less physical form of entertainment. Which sounds like Hollywood to me and hopefully not health related.
At least it's wrestlemania weekend.
Is the Hall of Fame tonight?
If you're in the UK, "tonight" is a stretch, but yes after smackdown.
- CM Punk
I liked that phase he had where he'd go around putting bags over ugly people's faces. Although, I might have just imagined that happening
Respect! Respect! Respect!
UK time it's starting at like 6 or 7am.
I’m rewatching the covid-mania. Seems surreal that happened in an empty stadium. Hopefully never again.
Anyway when are we doing predictions for this mania?

Proper geezer. Give him the strap.
Triple H on ignoring fans and Uso, Roman on Trump, Cena on Vince. The build was bad, but the PR has been terrible. It’s hard to know what people are even thinking when they open their mouths this close to such a big event.
I loved wrestling for about 20 years of my life, and always felt that the modern day concept lacks in ring storytelling and psychology. I missed the big stars and matches that told a strong story.
I really want to give it another chance and started with the Rumble, but I’ll admit, it’s been a tough run since then. It seems like a series of bad decisions and wasted momentum.
I am going to watch, so hopefully it defies low expectations and makes me love wrestling again!
