Rosler28 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Matt Bloom, who was New Japan's top foreign star as Giant Bernard, and had formerly wrestled as Prince Albert and A-Train in WWE, is scheduled to return to the promotion after WrestleMania. Â The idea given was for him to be the henchman for John Laurinaitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Paul's Bin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 To the above post. Can't that be put in spoiler tags? I know the topic states spoilers in the description but I was only expecting RAW and SD spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 It's not a WrestleMania spoiler, it's a WWE news rumour that's all. You can't complain about that. Probably should be in the Minor News Thread though. Â Anyway, really hope it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsClobberingTime Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It is posted in the other topic anyway. Â But yes, it's not a spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 I was thinking, does anybody think that the two money matches being babyface v babyface (with a babyface referee in one) will hurt the buyrate? Famously, they say you can't draw big with two faces going at it. The build has been decent (and there is still two Raws left) but both feuds have yet to cross the line into red hot territory. Maybe they won't, because they don't want their babyfaces attacking another over babyface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 The main event isnt two faces, though. Both have fanbases which dislike the other. John Cena is the heel to those people shouting "Fruity Pebbles" and "No Balls" at him. It isnt like Warrior and Hogan, where they are forced into picking sides. A section of the buying public hate John Cena and want Rock to win. The otherside are John Cena fans who were chanting the unflattering "tooth fairy" at the Rock the other week. Nobody is expecting or demanding a handshake at the end of it. Its the first match in years where both sets of fans are absolutely desperate for the right result. Its a big match.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 The great thing about the Rock/Cena feud is that it's never been about heels and faces. In that sense it goes against the basic fundamentals of pro-wrestling booking, but it works because of the strength of the two established characters involved. Like Ian said, both have massive passionate fanbases already and those fans aren't about to boo for their guy just because he's being booked as a heel. It's a great, reality-based feud in that sense. At Mania, it will be like a football match, with The Rock playing at home and Cena as the visiting team. The resulting atmosphere will be amazing. Â I do feel the Taker match would be hotter if HHH was a heel, though. The match has a big time feel, but lacks heat at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm not convinced, myself. They've spent the past few weeks having Cena do stuff that isn't in keeping with the schtick that makes people hate him. They're trying their hardest to get Cena over with the audience The Rock brings (as they should), but I think it's hurting the dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted March 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 NEWM made a cracking post in a Raw thread the other week that said he felt Rock/Cena has more akin and perhaps based upon the Bret/HBK dynamic. I concurred with his sentiments entirely. It's definitely more Bret/HBK then Hogan/Warrior. I'm not sure following the last Raw but, from the few weeks previous i got the impression it was going in the direction of Cena being the one man who can get to The Rock and push his buttons, as one of Rocks biggest weapons, his destruction on the mic and put-downs with the crowd solidly behind him just simply don't phase Cena, he brushes it off and smirks in Rocks face and Rock becomes pissed and super-serious and stumbling over his words, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
