I forgot just how bad this ended up being. Goddamn

I understand what they were trying to with Reigns here but it should have gone to Cena. Cena is past the "make him look strong" portion of his career so they could have worked some ways into having Cena get knocked around for the majority of the match giving Taker some rest spots, there would of course be at least two AA kicks outs, one tombstone kickout (or foot on the rope) before the final AA.

Did Cena say no to the match or did Vince always have Roman in mind for it?

shyt was horrible. I had a Mania party this year and the main event killed any kind of fun we had going. The Triple H match was boring as fukk last year but this was WOAT.

 

[Golayitdown]

shytty match was shytty. It made both of them look worse. Roman was trying to drag a decent match out of a dead weight when he's just not that guy. Damn near everybody who was watching that match noted how slow, winded and off Taker looked. Taker should have called it a career after WM 25 or the Lesnar match at the very latest.

It was a godawful match

 

[patscorpio]

Roman's worst match ever. It's fukked up how a good worker like him has the two worst matches of his career at Mania (the other being against La Nariz)

Good worker?

 

[Francis White]

Average worker?

 

[Jmare007]

Good worker?

Hell yeah, the amount of good matches is undeniable. I'm glad this is less debatable as times goes on, even haters of dude recognize he can go in the ring.

People stay looking for ways to shyt on Roman The match shouldn't have happened just like the match with Triple H.

 

[Stop_It_5]

best part was when taker tossed Roman out the ring and yelled "my yard ! ", then tossed him out again and yelled "still my yard !!"

So bad I forgot about it until this thread popped up.

It's HHH fault because it's Sting fault Sting should have came for WM27

Cena should have gotten him instead of Bray at 31

These good matches are overrated..he just kicks out alot and is given plenty of time. That's it.

Best match he ever had was against Cesaro last December.

And Fastlane 15'. Bryan gave him the best match of his career imo.

I remember watching this and actually turning away when that gif happened.

Honestly that shyt makes me really sad. Hate watching it. Didn't bother me seeing Flair or Hogan get old and feeble. Maybe because they were already pretty old when I first started watching.

But seeing Taker like that.......yikes. No thanks.

He's been a top three wrestler in the company for over two years now breh. Get a grip

The fact that they never did Cena/Taker is why wrestling has been dead for several years now.
