RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Rollins against someone who may or may not be Cody and The New Day against Sheamus and Ridge have been added to the Saturday line up (the latter may be the pre show match that night) Edited March 28, 2022 by RIDDUM_N_STYLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all their heels Dolph Ziggler now? Second thought: if you ignore the Cody rumours, this feels far more like a build to a surprise squash with the undertaker than it does a competitive match with a new debut.

Yeah man I agree completely with this. I can't help but feel this is going to be a massive disappointment in terms of what everyone is expecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Lashley vs Omos added to the Sunday card and, unless something else gets added on Smackdown, is the final match announcement for Mania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine typing that sentence 5 years ago, yikes. Anyway, I sort of think Cody's star is at its biggest before he debuts. Hell have one feud and everyone will go "oh yeah, it's Cody Rhodes. Didn't he used to have a tache?". Keep the myth of the genre defying renegade alive, never actually put him on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a popular opinion on here I know but this version of Seth is the most entertaining in a long time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 29, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2022 Enjoyed the cheesy music they played at the start, playing it for laughs. I’m stunned that they are going to play off Cody as “chosen by Vince”. Unless Rollins beats him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I used to hate the guy but he does make me smile when I see him on Raw highlights these days. We're always crying out for any old off the wall shite, and his dodgy Jared Leto gimmick adds a bit of dynamic and variety to the show.

Ironic Indie Lad Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Sounds like they are going with whatever the Austin segment is as the night 1 main event. Seems like an odd WrestleMania main event but I suppose it will send the crowd home happier than anything else they could close the show with.

Is that why they're keeping him off tv to grow the Dashing Cody Rhodes moustache again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinc Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Seth is the worst wrestler of all time relative to his push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 It does make me laugh that the few years they have moved the event to two nights just coincides with the two years where they have the least amount of "stars" available to make it work. This year, a 4 hour one night event would actually be pretty good. Could have been something along the following.. (keeping most matches and making a couple of changes in others) WWE/Universal Title - Brock vs Roman Smackdown Womens Title - Charlotte vs Ronda Raw Womens Title - Becky vs Bianca US Title - Balor vs Preist vs Miz vs Mysterio IC Title - Ricochet vs Sheamus AJ vs Edge Seth vs Cody Zayn vs Knoxville Smackdown Tag Title - Usos vs Nakamura/Boogs Raw Tag Title - Orton/Riddle vs Alpha Academy vs Street Profits KO Show with Stone Cold Not sure we need any more than that this year.

I get some people find him annoying but he was really successful in ROH then NXT then WWE. There's a lot of people in the industry that clearly see him as a very talented individual and a lot of them probably know what they're talking about. I'd say he's had some questionable character work over the years in WWE certainly. But even beyond his part in The Shield, I'd say his work vs Lesnar and Cena as well as the Raw gauntlet match for example.. I can see why they get behind him so much.

He's among the most actorly performers of any kind I've ever seen. My disbelief is never suspended when watching him. He gets some marks for effort for trying to develop some on-screen personality, but he was actually more tolerable as a workrate geek than he is with the laughably ill-fitting character he plays now. He isn't playing himself turned up to 11. He's playing someone else turned up to 11. Edited March 29, 2022 by Pinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 29, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2022 Seths a very good wrestler. Unfortunately he wasn’t a good singles main event babyface as he came across smug and disingenuous, so everyone got sick of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
