@rwatkins829 @MrBusby4o8 People conveniently forget that it would have been corny babyface Rock against Roman, not the Final Boss.

@MrBusby4o8 The final boss was awesome and the Roman/rock match would’ve been awful
English
If Roman would have let Cody go over at 39 y’all would have gotten your match at 40.
It’s THAT simple,
Soham@SohamTheGoat
If WWE Didn't Had Ruined This Match For Mania 40, WWE Had Never Been On This Shitty Place Like They're Right Now.
English
@WingManInfinit1 @TheRajGiri Yeah. I think the real issue was that Hogan was leaving and WWE wasn't going to have the face of WCW beat him on the way out. I think it's clear that WWE was planning to do Hogan vs Flair until Hulk decided to step away.
English
@TheRajGiri Bro. Red Herring.
Hogan met Andre in 1980 and even bodyslammed him at Shea Stadium.
Still didn't stop the WM3 match from being legendary.
Fact us Hogan was on the way out & Vince couldn't put the strap in him.
Hogan refused to job to Flair as well.
That's why it didn't happen.
English
To be fair, WWE started doing Flair vs Hogan house show matches right away. If they did Hogan vs. Andre at house shows for months before WM3, a lot of the mystique would have been gone. But regardless, Hogan vs. Flair was not the draw you would have expected it to be
Karim S@kman9924
@TheRajGiri Flair failed in WWE. Couldn’t draw with Hogan at house shows. His biggest moment was RR, and he never capitalized on it. He went back to the old south to be a big fish in a small pond, and that’s the truth
English
@BrandonTheHeel Even if there was no controversy at all - Vince is 80! Like, why are people actually clamoring for that?
English
All you Vince marks out there, you really need to hear this and let it sink in: no matter what happens, no matter how much you hope or cope, Vince is never coming back.
He’s scorched earth at this point. The damage is done, the bridges are burned, and his name is just too toxic now. @TKOGrp isn’t dumb (well… not THAT dumb); they’re not about to risk blowing up their biggest sponsorship deals. You remember what happened last time… those allegations nearly cost #WWE the @SlimJim partnership entirely. No way they’re rolling the dice on all that drama just to bring back an 80-year-old #VinceMcMahon whose reputation has become nothing but a liability.
The Vince era is over. It’s time to move on.

The Pat McAfee angle flopped, but WWE is sitting on an absolute goldmine if they do it right. ✅ Reveal McAfee was just a pawn ✅ Steph showing up on RAW last week wasn't a one-off, it was Phase 1. ✅ Shane & Vince McMahon return next to form a "Shadow Board" to take back the company. ✅ Randy is revealed as their Corporate Assassin to end "Dusty's kid" for good. ✅ Pure Evolution vibes.. Cody fights his mentor AND the family that tortured his dad. Carry this till WarGames: Team Cody vs. Team McMahon. Pure cinema. Could this save the feud?🔥

@ChandranTheMan Both are main events.
Some people buy tickets for one night or the other.
English
Been seeing a lot of debate around this…
What do you think?
Does main eventing Night 1 of WrestleMania count as main eventing WrestleMania, or does only Night 2 get that distinction?
I look at it like a music festival. If Lady Gaga headlines Friday and Taylor Swift headlines Saturday… they’re both still headliners.
Same concept to me. Curious where everyone lands on this 👇🏽
English
@TheRajGiri I really hate when they make "the product" and business metrics part of storylines. I actually kinda like the surprise of Pat being the phone guy. Just don't like the new direction of the angle though.
English
@Cory_Hays407 Maybe
Or maybe this is all just for the next season of Unreal.
English
@AndrewBaydala So WWE has basically booked themselves into the corner again that if the Rock doesn't show up everyone loses their minds?
English
Very good point.
This is my opinion- Yes, they should, but again I believe they want to have everyone "upset" and screaming "this sucks" only to have them eat their words at the end of one of #WrestleMania nights.
Is it always logical? Nah... but if someone else reveals himself at Mania, they will have the crowd eating out of the palm of their hand.
And if they dont have someone else then.... YEEEE BOY
Juice Springsteen@JuicySteen
@AndrewBaydala Should WWE be focusing on “swerving the IWC” 2 weeks away from #WrestleMania? Couldn’t they just lock in and produce captivating television?
English
@thefogjones McIntyre would actually fit much better in the role as McAfee's guy.
If it was him as champ with McAfee in his corner, Cody probably would have the crowd behind him.
English
Can we all agree now that Drew McIntyre should’ve walked into WrestleMania as champion?
This whole Orton/McAfee heel stuff could’ve happened inside of the fatal 4-way match. McAfee could’ve helped Orton get the win and turn on Cody then.
English
@AngoPW Wrestling forever has an inferiority complex. Always grasping at mainstream acceptance that comes and goes instead of just doing its thing.
English
Best way to explain what’s happening is this. Ari wants mania bigger and more grander. This means more main stream names. Nick khan goes and thinks “Tom Brady, Gronk, Yachty, Jelly Roll, Speed”
Triple H then basically has to do it or he is outnumbered by Ari, Shapiro, Khan.
Promo Joe@PromoJoeYT
Ari Emanuel creative with Vince McMahon #smackdown #PatMcAfee
English
@RealPaulyRyder @aaronrift Inspire him to bring back the RKOpunt? LOL
English
@aaronrift Pat makes no sense in the storyline. That’s pissing people off, throwing a celebrity in the Wrestlemania main event, again, when it clearly makes no sense. How is Pat, a former punter going to advise Randy on how to win his 15th championship?
English
I think the hate for this week's SmackDown is really overblown. People are acting like it's the "Fingerpoke of Doom" and WWE is going to collapse.
English
@WrestlingHumble Stuff about TV ratings, ticket sales, and whatnot should never be part of storylines. It's just dumb.
English
Pat McAfee mentoring Randy Orton to turn heel, calling the product trash, saying the worst part of wrestling is wrestling, blaming the worst rated SmackDown ever and WrestleMania not selling out on the world champion Cody Rhodes. Cody responds by saying the reveal sucked, the story sucked, and compares Pat to Disco Inferno.
Truly riveting stuff that should be universally praised.
Kazeem Famuyide 🇳🇬 🍎@Kazeem
Yall hated the McAfee promo because he was talking about you, the IWC.
English
@Kazeem McAfee being the phone guy doesn't bother me. I actually like how out of left field it is.
The whole "the product sucks" is never a good angle though.
English
Yall hated the McAfee promo because he was talking about you, the IWC.
English
@takesbytom I think people are overthinking it. The person on the phone (Pat) reminded Orton of who he really is. A killer. Part of a royal family.
That's all it was. The voice on the phone didn't have to be part of a wrestling family.
English
Maybe we see The Rock as the final reveal at Wrestlemania… him and McAfee are right. Don’t forget that!
His initial return was bc of McAfee and then the Final Boss was born.
“Saving The Business” screams that The Rock could get involved… 👀
Let it play out.

@Cory_Hays407 Are we certain that Jericho isn't just finishing up the injury time added to his contract?
English
He wasn't going to do much in WWE
WrestlePurists@WrestlePurists
Dave Meltzer on Chris Jericho’s AEW return: “From the WWE standpoint, and I don’t know what they told him. I know I was told that they wanted him for a retirement tour. And maybe that’s not what he wanted, but I don’t know… With AEW, perhaps he was gonna get more longevity. There’s a lot of advantages for AEW, and there’s always money. He may have been offered more money in AEW… His money situation is probably pretty great, I would think. He made a lot of money in these years in AEW. I think that at this point, especially at the age he’s at, he’s gonna want to do what’s creatively fulfilling and fun. AEW’s a little bit of a risk in the sense of… He’ll probably have more input into what he’s gonna do in AEW than he would in WWE, but he’d have a better audience in WWE, I think for sure. The better audience, that is certainly part of the deal, but money is part of the deal. Creative freedom is part of the deal. What each side’s plans are is part of the deal. There’s a lot of other factors involved. I think there’s less risk in WWE in the sense that the crowd is not gonna be as difficult for him in WWE. But this was his decision. His decision was AEW, and I’m sure that he considered every one of these points and many other points when making this decision.” (WOR | @WONF4W)
English
@wrestling_VI Make more money before heading to WWE to cut some fun promos, interact with guys like Punk and Cody one last time, get put to sleep by Gunther, and go to the HOF.
English
@JDfromNY206 The whiplash will be crazy if he's only there to get his time served so that he can go to WWE in six months.

@JobberNationTV Sting's injury messed everything up. He definitely was going to face Taker at Mania 32. No doubt in my mind
English
Sting's WWE run was better than Sting's AEW run
And I will die in that hill
J O H N@RomanEra0
Sting's entrance at WrestleMania 31. This was Sting's only WrestleMania, and he gave us one of the greatest entrances of all time. LEGEND.
English
@MercyBuzzard13 @jimmyvan Does that mean Bray is gonna get a legacy induction when he eventually goes in?
English
@jimmyvan I've always thought Legacy wing is for posthumous inductions?
English
I believe the legacy awards were created to honor wrestlers from earlier eras. But let's be honest - Sid debuted in the NWA/WCW after Demolition did in WWE, and Bad News also debuted in WWE after Demolition. Seems clear Sid and Bad News are "legacy" for another reason...
WWE@WWE
WWE legend Bad News Brown will be inducted into the #WWEHOF as a legacy inductee and a member of the Class of 2026! MORE INFO: wwe.com/article/bad-ne…

@LeeHAuthor Warrior should have gotten to feud with Earthquake. He was the fresh heel. Hogan could have feuded with Rude. Even if Hogan beats Rude (as would be expected) if Rude got the role of putting Hogan out with injury, that would have set him up stronger for Warrior later
English
If Warrior had Sid to feud with after WrestleMania VI things could have been different.
Richard Land@maskedwrestlers
Sid vs. Warrior in 1992 - how would you have liked to see this feud play out if Sid wasn’t gone so quick after WrestleMania 8? How could SummerSlam 92 have ended up looking instead? 🤔 youtu.be/WdGYFwxNt50?si…

@RyanHurst171 They are surely donating all the money they receive from the post to missions. Right?

This is now for clout. He brought millions to knowledge of his wife's past, brought upon himself and his wife mountains of slander and attacks, and he keeps going. This is not how a husband protects his wife.
