>>13247533 The Rock is old and shit. The optics of it is he's just being another Hogan pulling rank over an actually rising baby face and it looks like shit coming down from a board room rather than a organic move with Rocky being involved with TKO. It doesn't serve him as a baby face nor anyone else in the roster, except for his cousins because they get playtime and subsequent payouts.
OK, so Wrestlemania is being planned a year in advance with changes handled as they come, but they got a rough idea what they want, so it's not exactly surprising to see the match happen, some retard money mark thought the best possible match for WM with a even number should be BIG NAME against Roman Reigns, whom they've decided to be a forever champ just to go past some arbitrary record.
>At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is for him to go over Sanmartinos number. Bald-Cody will probably pin his casket for a three count in a triple threat with Seth in a wheelchair in 2029 but I digress This plan of BIG WM is all well and good on paper but the board changed and now this Rumble winner / Videogame cover dude is taking a huge L by going after the cripples belt instead of rising up the challenge. It would have actually been better for nobody to win the Rumble than get this shit, literally have Punk win and pull out of the match because of the injury would have been a better choice.
And it's not that I'm all against seeing this Rock v Reigns match but everything around it is just shit, it's stinking up the joint by proxy, RAW and Heavyweight belt got buried for nothing, Rumble got buried, MitB got buried, the entire rest of the roster got buried. It's just dumb.
But let's see what they do in Elimination Chamber which has to be nothing short of a miracle to fix this shit.
