WWE’s hot stretch spiritually ended on 1/6/25 when the Rock broke kayfabe and shouted out Cody and a bunch of Netflix execs on their TV.
Final Boss Rock, as well as the whisper he gave Cody on the night after WM40 was effectively the promotion’s looming light at the end of the tunnel that generated intrigue and curiousity. There was a trust that the fans had in the company that surely all of that would pay off into something epic because WM40 paid off into something epic.
Instead, Rock dropped it and went back to being Dwayne, eliminating the grand endgame that fans looked forward to, and now their audience doesn’t have one.
Flaunting his disgusting bigotry won’t bring his son back. I don’t know what he thinks he’s accomplishing here, but all this tells me is that he was raising his son to be a racist asshole just like him.
@7700saint Build up wise it could end up being great, especially compared to Punk vs Rome. Match wise, I don’t think it will top it though. I just know TKO gonna fuck something up though
It’s beyond their mental makeup to even consider it as a matchup. In their brain, Chad works guys like JeVon, Dragon Lee, Penta. Roman works Punk, and does Bloodline stuff. Cody works Gunther, Randy, Drew. Everyone has pre-set roles and spots.
And that’s why the promotion isn’t interesting right now.
i love seeing old school territory esque title reigns because yes your world champions should be proving why they’re the best by wrestling the best weekly, idk why that formula was ever tossed aside.
This gimmick was a death sentence to all three in 2014 with the office looking for an excuse to cut all three, and look at the magic they created. Special guys.
I see women on my TL talkin about "we not supporting Klay Thompson anymore" and I understand the sentiment, gotta have that parasocial solidarity, but what exactly does Klay Thompson do that requires the support of women? Lol
