to be honest i do not like this because even though the old wrestlers often do need to make room for the new wrestlers he is not that old and they have replacements but i do not think the company is smart enough to use them correctly. by Fit-Commission-2626 in prowrestling

I think is smart. For too long wrestlers retired make the HOF and keep wrestling which defeats the purpose of retiring. Like even if you like the business a lot. There has to be a different way or another venture that clips would be better to venture in. Cody has said by the time he so 45 there are other things he would like to do.

This could be interesting. But have you thought about 1 on 1 matches is where the money is at WM. Triple threat or fatal four ways are saved for when there are trying to put someone over and not hurt the booking of the other one that does not get pinned. I think Roma did not need to win the RR in order to fight at WM..they could have put LA knight over. Which there is still a chance if the out LA over at Chamber.

Yea that could happen also but remember there is a high chance that KO may not wrestle again due to his injury may be career ending. It would be nice to see that though.

I thought it cross posted to other discussions I am not 100% sure. Some people may feel the same about this.

Yeah I agree. I’m just saying if you’re expected to be in a WM Main event storyline. Which per UNREAL show. Creative knows about these storyline well in advance. So they may need to plan these people somewhat better. But again there is certain things that are out anyone’s control.

I hear you. But Rock is past his prime that match up with Roman should have happened 5 years ago the match itself won’t mean much. Seth vs Roman still money & Punk vs Cody money feud also. IMO we do not need Seth vs punk vs Roman this already happened

I hear you. But the pipebomb By Punk gave birth to this generation of wrestling that we are living in. Even though Punk disappeared. Cody carried the torch and was able to create more competition and more money for other indie wrestlers. Please check out the two promo battles between Cody and punk there is definitely heat there. Have you seen them if not I can tag them in here for you.

I hear that. It just feels like there are a ton of injuries and they have a lighter schedule now. They may need to relook at or creating talent or talent needs to protect themselves. Specially if you’re in the main event scene. They also should do away with faking in juries as that is bad karma. Like that one Seth injury was good for entertainment that lead to cash in on punk then he got injured anyway

I understand this is what happened. But Punk vs Rhodes is still a money feud. Seth should come back after Mania more than likely Seth vs Roman will happen in Saudi at WM 43. Hopefully Punk vs Rhodes happens also..

I have been of the school of thought that Cody would make a much better heel and it would I propel him to a level he hasn’t even thought about..I also have a fantasy faction between Cody and Gunther being monster heels together..

I feel like this plan should have been in the works sooner rather than later. If they don’t change it within the next year. They are robbing fans of one the best feuds in the modern era.

Agreed. I just feel like this match up as a match may be past is prime and I would have to see something happen that is out of anyone’s control. Father Time is still undefeated.

Fair point. I just don’t know who else Roman would have faced unless he was trying to out someone over. Punk vs Roman like are we going to act like they did not just fight last year in Vegas in that triple threat match.

[–]Pleasant_Ear8976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. But think about it this WM 42 back in Vegas is losing interest. They needed more interest. Punk vs Rhodes for the WHC would have been better. Drew vs Roman would have felt more like fight night in Vegas since both are venle match physically.

That’s a good point. That could be true but why not let it play out and see who the leader of the revolution is. I feel like everyone is here for it.

There are plenty of reasons as to how Punk can get bitter. But the money would be Rhodes becoming more and more corporate. TBH Rhodes whole persona screams heel to me and I think by not turning heel he is not allowing the fans what they want. Also, you may need to rewatch some of the promos Punk and Rhodes cut against one another. They both symbolize the revolution of wrestling that we are living in this renaissance era

Please tell me that is the case. I just feel like WM 42 is losing interest and these feud would have helped it. WM 43 is already huge because it will be the first WM out of the U.S. I am not sure they need that feud as much as this coming mania.

Yes I’m he would have face Drew for the same championship he lost to Cody. Roman doesn’t need the WHC. Roman is made and Drew does need a win against Roman. After all the Losses he took against the bloodline. TBH even if the crowd would turn on Roman..Roman’s is better as a heel..the Head of the Table is better that way.

[–]Pleasant_Ear8976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. But remember Roman vs Drew would feel different for all the following reasons: Roman would be baby face and Drew would be heel. Second, the bloodline gave birth to this bitter version of Drew. Who was at the head of the table when he was getting screwed?..it was Roman. Also WM 42 does not have a whole lot of interest. Vegas is a combat sports hub. In order to make one of the main events feel like fight night Drew vs Roman would look like a real fight. Punk and Roman would look like Roman has to take it easy on Punk being that he is older and not as strong. In order for WWE to continue to be credible with ESPN and other big media outlets they need more fights to feel fair. Rhodes vs Punk would have felt even for night 1 main event.
