If they turned Roman heel he could develop a personality that could transition into being a face in much the same way nearly every top WWE babyface has.

Oh good I guess they can finish the job on Sheamus that they started on Monday night. :v:

Change of subject though, has anyone on the Twitters or anything else heard how JR is doing coping with the loss of his wife?

That hits the good spot of the feels. :unsmith: Also it seems he's going to keep himself busy and he's honoring his appearances in Orlando this weekend. I guess it'll be good for him to be around people he knows.

Yeah I think I saw on Twitter that he was doing all of his Wrestlemania week appearances, which I have to imagine will be good/healthy for him.

Not gonna happen any time soon. Vince has decreed Roman is Cena's replacement as the King of Make A Wish. There's no way in hell the turn him unless crowds start leaving the building when his matches start or something.

The blueprint is right there with his literal cousins. They were boring Babyfaces in July, then they turned heel in September, now I want them to win everything and if they turned back face and stayed hood Usos but just fought bad guys now, I'd cheer for them all day and night.

I don't care if you like 30 but I think 30 was aggressively mediocre. The main event had the correct ending but the match itself was a very basic wwe main event. Taker vs Brock was legit awful, Bray vs Cena was a nothing match with bad booking. The Andre the giant memorial was boring and it lead nowhere.

So like what? Wrestlemanias 3, and 10 were the other two good ones for you?

9 should definitely be included, 12, 13, 14, 15, 2000, there are a ton of decent to good Wrestlemanias.

Gonna have to be skeptical on that just because you had peak Hardyz, peak Edge and Christian, AND peak Dudleyz, in a triangle Ladder Match.


Edit:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Agreed, especially after both Austin and The Rock gave Hogan poo poo for calling it the Silverdome. The WWE made WrestleMania 30 doc is hilarious at this part.

That's legit the only good match on the card. And the summerslam one is leagues better and their x7 one is even better than that. The 2000 main event was pure garbage.

I liked 19, despite the HHH vs Booker match. It was my first Mania I was a fan for and Michaels vs Jericho is one of my favorite feuds ever. I think it's one of the best.

I kind of like 19 as well. Or I remember liking it at the time. Brock vs Angle was great. Hogan vs Vince was surprisingly fun. Jericho vs HBK was good. It also had one of the better sets in mania history. Rey vs Guerrero was super disappointing though.

Watching the WM 30 doc that should have been Takers last match. I hope he can retire with good health, he doesnt have anything more in the ring or as a character imo.

And his great how HHH is explaining is entrance as if Shao Kahn hasnt existed for the last 20 years?

AT LEAST WE GOT ALEXA BLISS!

It had an incredibly cheesy hilarious, Taker match, and was good from a story line standpoint in how Bret came back to win the title against Yokozuna despite the Owen vs Bret feud.

I think it should have been against Punk, Taker avenges the memory of Paul, and just rides off into the sunset. That was the last semi decent Taker match. There never should have been two matches with Hunter.

The best part of Mania 9 was Macho Man, the color guy, saying that Doink used a powerful spell to clone himself and attack Crush, and nobody disputing him. That's the canon, official, announced explanation.

Known magus Ted Dibiase was the one that taught Doink the spell, for a hefty fee of course, who would then use the same spell to make a clone Undertaker for himself!
