In a perfect world, Rock has stayed away from WM this year so he has an excuse to fire big nose for this terrible build. :skip:
Rock gonna come out at the end of Triple H HOF speech and be like, not only are you now in the hall of fame, but also the hall of unemployment jabroni! :troll:

I'm curious to know which babyface champs have defended their title at mania vs a heel defending it. In regards to wwe title like Cody holds, not the old wcw one or the one that gunther has.

I say this cuz i feel like the chase for a babyface like Cody last year is much better. Maybe cuz Cena a part timer. Tho I doubt they would have a full timer take the belt as a heel. It just doesn't hit the same if Cena wins the title other than for the record.
Off the dome HHH vs Orton at WM25 when he should have dropped it but didn't

Cenas promo was good.

Cody's was stupid besides the Oscar line. "You cant wrestle" is stupid as fukk. Cena has bigger legs than Cody and squats more.

Paler than Sting at Starrcade 97 was a crazy bar :russ:


All in all though the build for this match was such a disappointment after last year’s main event. Just nothing but face to face promos? There was zero creative though put into this build.
The build to Mania 40 was the reason I started watching again after a decade hiatus. The press conference, Rock concert, Rock beating the hell out of Cody in the rain, Roman/Rock vs. Cody/Seth brawl on the go home show, and Bloodline promos were all memorable as hell.

The Rock made "The Final Boss" a beloved iteration of his character. Cena's heel turn is about as run of the mill as you can get.
