I caught the main event on the YOO TUBE. It was a perfectly good midcard match. Sadly it was the main event. I can't wait for the next ten Wrestlemanias where Reigns and Lesnar main event at least six of them.
Cody's promo was very good, didn't they do something similar though for All In on 10 pounds of gold when he was going for the NWA belt?. I think they'll hotshot him beating Roman (maybe at Summerslam) as I don't think WWE nowadays could really get a longer running story (like Hangman finally winning the belt in AEW) to work.
If they do go that route (Cody winning the Rumble or MITB) then they will have to do enough to keep the fans on side. As unless they keep the buzz of him leaving AEW fresh the fans could quickly get bored and turn on him. Then the story will quickly be forgotten and he'll languish in the mid card. Same could be said for a title win too though look at how big a deal AJ Styles was when he came in and when Kofi and Big E won the belt it's now not even really referenced. So whilst I get Cody wants to win the WWE world title and he booked himself into a corner with AEW by not being able to go after the World title there I do think it would have meant more had he won the AEW World championship since he helped co-found the company.
But with that being said, WWE might surprise us and they put together a compelling story with it concluding with Cody winning the belt. Or they could do what they've done with Bron in NXT which makes little logical sense. Will be interesting to see how things plan out.
well Raw was OK for post Mania I guess, I cut it a bit more slack than normal due to all the expected mania recap type stuff, not the greatest but also not the worst. As for mania well the main thing that stood out for me was the Knoxville/Zane match which gave me a good laugh at times & left a big smile on my face, as for the rest it was either a little predictable for the most part or spoiled in advance such as Cody being all but confirmed before the match. Overall though I've seen worse shows from wwe though I do have an issue with them describing every years mania as the biggest & best ever, its gonna get to the point where they'll need the second coming to meet the hyperbole being used
well Vinces storyline illegitamate son (seems to be the way its heading) is now U.S. champ, who could have seen that comin.... wait of course something like this was coming. Some minor comedy points for Owens not knowing how a lie detector works, very minor as it wasnt terrible but wasnt really that funny, mild smirks at best but at least they tried
Yea, could have made him the next big thing, but totally dropped the ball already. Maybe in a year or two if he joins AEW he could be a real star there. Makes you wonder how WWE have treated the Elite had they signed.
Had Hangman ride a toy horse like Chavo in WCW, Kenny would be doing a gamer gimmick where he dresses up as obscure video game characters , Bucks would doing that irritating Theory thing with the phone live blogging for BTE. Really surprised Cody went back to be honest, he actually looked pissed off the other day with Seth dancing around like a jabroni. I wonder how long before Cody is jobbed out to Veer or sent to NXT 2.0 and put in a wacky storyline there or be back as Stardust in six months time.
Jesus. His matches with Roman were ridiculously awesome in a Godzilla versus Kong Let's Destroy Fucking Everything kinda way and he was fucking over and they shit on him and had him job to BORK LESSAR in nine minutes I really hate this goddamn company.
