I don't even follow WWE that much but I know how big of a deal Cody Rhodes' story is. There was this setup towards Cody "finishing his story" and having a match at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns where he would most likely win and become the new face of the company.
...only it's not happening and now it's going to be The Rock vs Roman Reigns. --- Thanks for reading! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Finishing the story has always been about winning the championship. And tonight, he said he was still going after Roman. Just not at Mania. So his finish the story thing is still very much in play.

What's the point of Rock coming back to lose to Roman anyway? It doesn't serve anyone anything since Rock doesn't wrestle and Roman's already at the top.

WWE just loves cutting popular wrestlers' legs out from under them. Thought they'd get better after Vince was gone, but guess not.

But I do feel bad for him. Wanted him badly to win it last year and for him to get gutted like this must feel like the lowest of low blows. The fuck you doing Trips --- My expectations they are low But you're the sun you make them grow ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's the thing, people stopped caring long ago. During Hogan's first run, he defended the belt over 500 times. Those 500 times were mostly house shows. According to cagematch, Hogan had 81 televised defenses during his first reign, but a lot of those matches were on local feeds, like NESN or MSG Network. Hardly any of the matches back then were shown to a national audience. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's been stale long before Cody because all of the matches are the exact same. Roman comes out, talks shit, doesn't do anything until the PPV, getting beat up and close to losing, someone interferes and he wins. They got a little extra juice out of it with the Sami Bloodline shit but that quickly fizzled out once it was done. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. ... Copied to Clipboard!
