WWE: GDT: Wrestlemania 41

[hockey20000]

WM predictably fell flat. IC Title match was good. Stone Cold drunk off his ass was funny. Everything else was meh at best.

Forget The Rock completely for a second, Travis Scott shouldn't be a key figure and interfering in the Main Event of Wrestlemania regardless of reasoning.

this travis scott interfering in the main event match is just an insult to the fans who follow this and payed for the event

Ugh people really defending this garbage because "Cena told you he gonna ruin wrestling " Lucky for wwe fans are simple and will buy anything.

The post Mania promos are fire. Paul E. still has it. This Kross dude brought some heat. Almost makes me want to watch.

Face Cena vs Face Cody could've worked considering the limited appearances Cena was committed to heading into Mania, Cody carried the feud anyway. Then the heel turn takes place to close out Mania which would've been epic.

Another poster said a few pages back there were rumblings that The Rock accelerated the turn at EC, interjected himself into the storyline while he had a free pocket in his schedule. Dwayne present for the visual with heel Cena. This seems the most likely outcome.

What if Cena goes face and Cody goes heel?

They really had a goldmine story of Cody and Cena face vs face without the rock. He f***ed up the storyline. He threw himself a party and then didn’t bother to show up.

The number of the weekend is 60%. 60% of wrestlers in the WrestleMania main events were struck in the pelvic region leading to their loss. There are so many ways to cheat to win and both nights go with low blows. Yawn.

I don't know why Travis Scott has to be anywhere near a WWE ring. If he will lead to more fans who are willing to $150 to attend Raw then all the power to the company. I'm not the Travis Scott target audience so maybe it's just bah humbug.

The problem with Kross is the crowd doesn't react. His characters have been DOA in WWE. Maybe he keeps cranking out these angry edgy promos and people buy in to what he's saying because they feel the same way as he is pretending to feel but it's hard to believe the sixth time will be the charm. Good luck to him though.

Reports The Rock pitched Cody to turn heel at EC and creative decided against it, Cena was the backup plan.

Say what you will about Dwayne, but he was onto something here. Cody's on borrowed time as a face, the crowd have started to turn.

Would have been better if Cody turned the Rock down at EC and have cena turn at wrestlemania if you really want to go that route.

I think timing is everything and him coming out as the unofficial spokesperson of the growing dissent among fans with how HHH is pushing the product may be the best thing to happen to Kross

Still way way behind, but I think Becky returning to partner with Lyra will help get Lyra over more than teaming with Bayley... I also think we'll find out it was Becky and Lyra that took out Bayley

 

[MrLunatik]

f***ing Austin... was he drinking before he crashed the ATV? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen

 

[sabremike]

Yeah, it got to the point where the one-night Mania's were bad also for similar reasons.

But I would argue that these shows aren't any trimmer. They've just used the extra time to cram more ads in. In total, it was still close to seven hours of content and between the ads and the tv matches, I cared about like 10% of it.

I get the capitalist aspect of it, and don't get me started, but I just wish somebody cared about putting on a decent wrestling PPV without excess.

Tony Khan does the same shit with his one-night 19-match cards. Put some of the excess on television. It would make your tv watchable.

Watchable? AEW TV this year has been fantastic and last week's Dynamite was arguably the single best wrestling TV show episode of all time.

I do agree that AEW ppv's should be tightened. The mentality is people are paying $60 so they need to give people a lot, but really less would be more.

@yahhockey I guess I know why you were laughing now...

AEW literally gives me motion sickness with its excess. They have like 49 belts and everyone is feuding with everyone else always.

You just described almost every major promotion on earth with the exception of CMLL. They all use the belt crutch to give guys something to do and the idea they are being pushed.

I miss when we had the world title, the tag titles, and the midcard title.

I miss the days when the IC match was a top undercard match. Rude, Honky, Perfect, Kerry, etc...

One thing I learned is WWE themes are generic and boring unless youre a top top star

On the flip side it's hard to come up with unique themes when you have well over 100 performers under contract across Raw/SD/NXT. Many of which have no real defined character.
