NFT: The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania, and Cody Rhodes

Sasha Banks returning at Wrestlemania to help Bayley against the 3 hot Asian women (Route 9, I only watch wrestling for the articles).

Sasha or Mercedes signed with the other company.

I saw on social media that TNA/Impact Wrestling parted ways with Scott D'Amore. I wonder if this will bring about any changes in the WWE to TNA pipeline we have seen over the last few years.

my main comment was I have no interest watching the Rock wrestle. The latest rumors are a 3 way match which would be fitting as it would allow the rock to suck wind for 20 minutes while the other two wrestle.

Fair enough. This works for me.

As I mentioned before, I don't care about in-ring shit. I think I'm just looking forward to The Rock and him on the mic and seeing what he has to say next.

My "pro wrestling" mind is still stuck in 1998, if you will. Lol. Never tuned in those days to look for 5 star matches.

but I don't get the Cody love. The guy was a middle card guy before he left for AEW and when he came back it's like Hogan returning.

I was looking forward to the Rock just because it would be nice to see a vet show everyone how mic work is done.

I think basically any match with Roman Reins sucks these days, so it doesn't matter who wrestles him, the Rock or Cody, it will probably be underwhelming. If that's the case I'd rather see the Rock.

However, I just can't see them pushing the Rock and the potential of having him get boo'd at WrestleMania. Why people are booing the Rock, I'll never understand.

My big question is if Punk doesn't get hurt, it's probably Rollins vs Punk and Cody vs Roman II. The Rock was always planning on facing his cousin for the right storyline, he said so in interviews, so you have to imagine there is a big swerve coming or something epic. I can't see the Rock coming back for a one off.

Yep. Around your age, too. The main reason why I went to this thread was because it said "The Rock"

Maybe I'm just too old for this thing, but you're right. None of these new guys do it for me. I haven't watched wrestling since that COVID WrestleMania and I tuned into the Royal rumble only to see what would happen with CM Punk.

Only thing I remember about that "0 people" Mania is AJ Styles vs Taker and Orton vs Edge, and Gronk. Lol.

I still watch Raw and Smackdown pretty regularly; ironically it was Edge's return and his judgement day storyline that got me back into it. Judgement Day is probably one the best things they have done in a while between the rise of Rhea Ripley and the insane heat on Dirty Dom Mysterio; thats what has kept me tuning in. I think Rhea is probably one of the best wrestlers on the roster, but mostly when I watch Raw and Smackdown, I end up skipping most of the matches just to watch the promos, haha. I love myself a good storyline.

more questioning if this is a work or not lol. The Rock's heel turn has begun

I hope it's not a triple-threat. Fuck Cody

i am guessing that happens tonight at the press conference

night 1, Cody and Rollins vs Rock and Reigns, Codyy wins he gets a title shot night 2..

This protects rollins from having to do a full match...

Priest cashes in halfway through the match and takes out Rollins...Cody survives

I don’t think it is at all Rollins has to defend at mania otherwise that makes elimination chamber meaningless

Holy shit. A triple post. I didn't even realize that.

Triple H

Vintage heel rock, he's still so good on the mic.

Wasn’t anything special most interesting part about the show was Bron Breakker officially “signing” with smackdown

Honestly, the problem is that it feels like Dwayne Johnson, the crappy actor, is making a biopic of the Rock. None of it feels organic.

Last 10 minutes of The Rock spewing the same stuff we've heard numerous times & him holding up his finger at the end was the culmination of a boring 10 minutes,where I thought,at the very least,there'd be some sort of action at the end. Wonder which Rock we see at the opening of the UFL on March 30th?

Haha. Yet again, the only reason I give a fuck about WWE is because of The Rock coming back.

I gotta say, Rollins has definitely improved. I like that style he's got lol pretty funny

And again, chiming in to watch wrestling fans bitch about every single little thing is a big part of it lol

The issue is none of the heels are even close to his level.
