fukk the rematch...they knew Rock was gonna be there. A fukking non boom period WM sale is gonna do 51k first day with no Rock? Lol. Never. Taker, Shawn, Cena, Blandy, Cripple H, Punk...all of that didn't work before Rock came back in 2011.
Cena had WM consecutively hitting 1 million buys & selling out stadiums for years.

Rock didn't do that at his hottest...

No one knew what would happen with Nakamura...I thought they have tried a NXT Showcase match at WM 32 since it was supposed to be so huge. But it all went str8 down the tube. Again.
They dont need a showcase match when NXT has their own separate event.

Ok, got a question:

Who does that get over?

How would you pay off that moment?
I said the same thing about a random Stone Cold promo and someone getting the stunner

This is what he does almost any time he shows up, its not gonna be better/special just because its mania.

You're a crack addict....nyggas done gave Cena credit for Rocky's record breaking numbers
Word, cause the Rock should be getting credit for 21, 22, 23, 24, & 25 even though he was nowhere on the card. What a silly goose you are :laugh:

Yeah, i mean i don't mind him doing it like he did with MVP/Hardy and Santino that one time. WM is 4 hours and won't hurt to have it in. But keep that shyt far away from the main event storylines if you can't follow up on it.

^^ Bingo.

Dont see the problem in this.

Its Wrestlemania. Mania will have wild moments. WWE knows they will never deliver this match up but a face off would not do any harm. Its like the best thing you can do without having them face each other. Its not going to take anything away from anyone. Not going to steal any spotlights. its just an added bonus.

People way to uptight. Not everything needs a follow up.

who does it get over :what: its a moment for the fans, especially the ones in attendance. the payoff is that special moment you only get at wrestlemania. its just a quick spot, its not hurting anyone......as it wouldn't lead to the deciding pin.

Oh did he? I love how the Kliq and Cener stans both love to take credit for the WM 23 buyrate, knowing full got damn well it was #Trumpset that moved that number. And WM 24 Cena wasn't even the main event, it was Undertaker, and we all know Money Mayweather and Flair's last match was the big draw of that PPV.

Then why not do it & promote it for one of the many ppvs that would actually need that star power?

It takes away from HHH & Reigns(as trash as it is)

I got no problem with the idea, but you don't need that in the main event of your biggest show of the year.

The match & wrestlers need to stand on their own.

I'm neither a Kliq stan nor a Cena stan.

Yeah yall gotta stop boosting Cena Mania buyrate importance.

He played a part (hes the company's biggest star) but there was pretty much always a bigger factor every year. Seriously Mania 22 was probably his biggest grab. I'd give him a big hand in 28-29 even though he shared those alongside the bigger draw in Rock.

Agreed.

Not everything need to be overanalyzed. Its the biggest show of the year, none of the other events fits that purpose and it fits perfectly. The other PPVs are where Main events need to stand on their own. Mania is the spectacle.

Plus it's not the only time there was outside factors in Mania main events. Won't be the last. Nothing is going to take away from the match or the event.
