The Big Dog is still the cringiest nickname currently. It feels so forced and lame. Who the gently caress looked at those garbage BikerTaker ~THIS IS MA YARD~ promos and thought "Hmmm, yes this is what will help endear this guy to our fans!"


Honest Questions: This Mania HAS to be better than last year right? There's no loving way I can take a show that long and that awful again.

I've noticed a very strange backlash on Tumblr and other places online where Roman fans and others totally think WWE ever giving in to the fans with WM 30 was the downfall of the company because now ~the fans are taking oveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer~

It's actually becoming a popular fan opinion that the lovely TNA announcement that the fans needs to keep their mouths shut until the company tells them to and only cheer faces and boos heels is 100% correct and modern wrestling fans are spoiled.

I'm not gonna lie and say fans can be obnoxious as poo poo but to say that booing Roman is disrespectful (and racist!) is absurd.

To each their own, but I can't see a reason why anyone would hate WM 30.

It's not hate, it's this idea that Bryan should have never won because giving in to the fans eventually kills creativity and who knows the business better? The fans or the writers? :smug:

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.

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.

I thought there were stories awhile back that WWE had lost faith in roman being the new guy for the future. Does anyone those or am I making stuff up?

If I recall right Vince got SUPER high on AJ and was considering giving him Roman's mega push, which turned out to be pretty close to true honestly.

I didn't hear the "last chance" thing, I think it was Meltzer saying something to the effect of if Roman manages to gently caress up two main events of two Manias he couldn't imagine Vince keeping op for him.

JBL honestly needs to be fired. It's monumentally hosed up for WWE to have this huge anti-bullying campaign and have an awful bully piece of poo poo like JBL attack a dude with legit mental health problems and force him to leave the show.

That's the thing as well, you can't even try to argue that he's useful to have around. JBL sucks rear end all around these days and he provides nothing that would even come close to making up for the awful poo poo he's done to people.

This sorta hits home to me because around this time last year I had an emotional breakdown/suicidal thoughts so I know how hosed up it can feel when you feel attacked and miserable. JBL can legit go loving announce for some lovely indie fed in Texas and stay away from WWE forever.

It works so well because it honestly seems like the Miz loving HATES John Cena. No other match on the card has that animosity in it. Goldberg and Lesnar are just two dumb fucks who wanna hit each other, Roman and Taker is "I AM BIG DOG, I WOULD LIKE YARD PLEASE, NO BIG DOG THIS IS MY YARD. WE SHALL WRESTLE NOW". Even AJ and Shane is Diet Austin and Vince.

Miz and Maryse loving hate the poo poo out of Cena and Nikki and want to absolutely demolish them at Mania.

How is it possible that I want Miz to be villain in a Marvel movie now? Holy gently caress he would own as Eddie Brock :stare:

Hey guys hope you dug that awesome NXT show with incredible performers putting on clinics of some of the best wrestling of year! MANIA TIME GUYS!

Here's a dude we've been giving a failed push to for years fighting a super old dude who he's 100% gonna beat and everyone's gonna hate it!

How about two dudes who put on one of the worst Mania main events of all time doing it again a decade later!

And hold on to your butts for some dude who isn't even a real pro wrestler but whose dad owns the company in a match with a guy that everyone on earth would much rather be seeing in any other match!

Cena never got this pure level of vitriol because Cena has a personality and can work with a crowd. The dude always read the crowd and either A. Seemed to not be bothered by it and accept the fans or B. Find it funny and make the fans like him by playing around with it.

Roman is loving horrendous at letting the crowd gently caress with him. He yells at them with weird tantrums/lovely burns, does interviews where he acts like a smug dick about it and he just overall has the aura of "Yeah gently caress all of you. I still get paid to be poo poo, suck my rear end I literally could not care less about this industry and it's fans"

I'm sure the dude cares about his job, but he just doesn't seem to really want to get the fans on his side.

People keep saying Taker was the cause for the problems and that's true but here's the thing: Roman should have covered for him. Roman's ONE JOB in that match was to make Taker look good and he ended up botching horribly twice and making an industry veteran look like dogshit.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he has a little backstage heat from that.

Both Taker/HBK matches are solid contenders for greatest WWE match of all time.

Again, Taker was old as gently caress and tired during his match with Bray and that was, while mediocre, much better than this. Vince wanted to prove that Roman could carry someone to a good match and it backfired badly.
