Viva Wrestlemania! WrestleMania 41 heads to Las Vegas 4/19/25 & 4/20/25 thread

[Kinguno]

Night one felt more like Wrestlemania overall this was a B-

 

[RammerJammer]

Even during WWEs bad years the Wrestlemanias still had a magic that thos year didn't. But then 39 and 40 were HHH Wrestlemanias and were great so who knows.

This show it felt like they were trying to sell everything but the allure of WrestleMania, idk it was just off

Had the best event of the weekend but that's your loss

tree falls in the woods, nobody around, does it make a sound type shyt

 

[BrehWyatt]

Even if you ignore the lack of Rock

it was just a boring match in general. I know Cena has to work differently being a heel but shyt you don't have to work in slow motion. Show some damn aggression work dirtier, more than a damn eye poke

Cena did everything he was supposed to do as a heel. He wrestled a match that didn't crowd please and didn't fulfill the fans at all. Despite this, he still got cheered over Cody.

Like Cena said... he isn't giving the fans a damn thing. Fans aren't supposed to be happy when the heel wins, even if it's a historic win. However, in today's day and age, the best way to get face pops is to turn fukkin' heel.

Then why show your ass up at Badd Blood and Elimination Chamber interjecting yourself into storylines

Because he can.

Finish was flatter than a plate full of piss.

But yea this Mania didn’t need to be 2 nights at all, I know they’ll never go back to 1 night but, they gotta do better at 42

A one night card with:

Seth/Roman/Punk
Women’s triple threat
LA/Fatu
AJ/Paul
Naomi/Jade
Cody/Cena
Jey/Gunther
IC match

Would have flowed much better.

Instead Night 1 was ass until the end and Night 2 was fire until the end

Interesting enough... I was alluding to that weeks and some nikka here was acting like I was talking "Dirt Sheet" talk

Technically it is since we don't have proof, but it just feels like Rock is paying him back for the Kliq days and the year 2000.

 

[O.Red]

Cole shut your goofy ass up, cotdamn. How do you not know how to sell a heel win at this stage of your career

Michael Cole always been trash

 

[BrehWyatt]

Had the best event of the weekend but that's your loss

Yeah... the Oba/Trick/Jevon triple threat was probably the best of the weekend.

 

[CM_Burns]

You’re telling me Rock couldn’t take a fukking jet and show up

It's a lot more likely that he chose not to. Supposedly he really wanted Cody to turn for real and HHH pushed for it not to happen, and Cody refused. It sounds believable. And not participating is his way of saying fukk you, I know what's best.

 

[Tres Leches]

logan paul is a roman stan

 

[Silkk]

I don’t watch this shyt on the regular but was it ever explained why Travis Scott hates Cody. And no rock in the build up or anything? Something must have happened

He's a goon for The Rock. That's one of the few things about the story that does make sense

 

[DaylitoJames]

oh no not your casual friend

 

[SchoolboyC]

Heel Cena vs. Face Orton in St. Louis for Backlash seems like a layup but who knows at this point

 

[Kingcobrakai]

Reminds me of when Hogan turned heel, as he's walking to the ring that goofball Bobby Heenan is screaming, "yeah but which side is he on?!" and gave it away.

I hate when people say that Heenan ruined the moment when he actually enhanced it.

Bobby Heenan always hated Hogan. Always called him a bad guy. Eye pokes, back rakes, turning on his friends, cheating. And at this point the audience was trained that Hogan was the hero coming to help and Heenan was just a crazy hater.

Dusty and Tony were both like “dude, wtf are you talking about…… He coming to help WCW. Like what else would Hulk Hogan do?”

And Bobby was like “this grimy, grifty dirtbag is capable of all kinds of bullshyt that you’ve seen with your own eyes, you marks”
