WWE has essentially killed the 'main event' concept for Mania

[Art Barr]

They ruined the concept of "The winner of the Royal Rumble gets to be in the main event of WrestleMania". I remember I was when Alberto Del Rio who won the Royal Rumble was in the first match of the night at mania. I was also knowing that it would be Edge's very last match as well.

Destroyed the convincability of del Rio and he still has never recovered.

Shinsuka // AJ should really go on last. hurts me soul knowing it wont.

Nakamura and aj won't go on last because the son in law does not want the main event at mania workrate being pushed beyond his ability to work. Which is why they were so vehemently against db being in the main event when db crushed the me mania buildings.
As db was signed to bury the Indies and it just never worked because db'a talent is actually taking and making the best of any WWE content and making it work. Somehow db is capable getting over and being able to portray exactly what vkm's vision maybe and then making it of quality regardless of how low quality it is.
Which still the WWE does not understand and why they just closed him down medically.
Leading to db having to sit.
just so the son in law could get some wiggle room to get back over his smashmouth low quality brand of main event workrate plugged back into the fold of the company and its largest drawing show.

They have the brand split now because they can position aj around.
so the son in law never gets exposed for this exact reason and why Nakamura is on smack down too. Nakamura is being positioned to try to bury Japan again like WWE did when they buried ultimo. Except this time they need a long con.
as WWE is working on applied knowledge knowing the iwc has a longer shelf life and memory than originally WWE expected.

Now both aj and Nakamura are being compartmentalized.

Hence why aj is at mania wrasslin Shane last year and Jericho predating it. As Jericho has learned to dial it back and not upstage cripple ache just to keep the checks coming and not politically be in the doghouse in the company he wanted to work for for less money than wcw originally. As it puts aj work in the idea of oh,...it is just Shane. Oh it is just jericho. So regardless in the idea and perception of the WWE brass. The son in law can have it appear aj is beneath the raw brand and can not garner the attention and destroy the main brand antagonist in hhh/steph. As it looks like oh,...aj can barely get rid of Shane. He is not match for the son in law. That if it is ever booked aj versus cripple. Aj will be booked as inferior.
when aj is the best wrassler in the history of this shyt.

im not hyped at all for WM and its sad in a way

the only thing that im even remotely curious about is if rousey can actually do something in a match..i mean shyt if the likes of sable can look good in the ring (in the beginning) then hopefully she can...but she needs a manager in the worst way going forward

I hope rousey is aware she needs to be at least better than:

Rodman
Malone
Mr t
Lawrence Taylor
Stephen amell

If not,...
She is going to be a dead draw and nuffin will save her.

Plus rousey's brand will be completely destroyed if she has a low quality workrate and no convincability in this match.
Plus,...
Steph feels this gives her rub.
if rousey is bad cause we know cripple ache or Steph is pinning angle.

So Steph may think, pinning or getting the duke amplifies her draw. Yet actually even booking rousey this fast in a mania match.
could undermine the general perception of the WWE women's movement too.
Yet since this company is inept. They think they can damage that and it not hurt their profitability. Yet it completely hurts their convincability and profitability.
If the end result is low quality. As it says this company can not get mania right or work up talent accurately who is a large draw.

The shortsightedness of the entire booking being based on the workrate of the mcmahons and the son in law is a mistake. That creates no profitability or upside. As the mcmahons are fooled into thinking they are the draw of their product. When they only have a fake draw from being attached to scsa and hogging the main event heel spotlight erroneously every step of the way in the attitude era.

When real talk,...the whole McMahon fascination should have ended with the higher power. Where Christopher Daniels was actually the right choice to be the higher power.
as far as workrate, gimmick and actual quality of worker.
Yet they basically kept denying Daniel. Till Daniel is exactly the exact catalyst that created the Indy heroes who saved wrasslin with styles.

the difference is that those guys worked with solid pros who could mask a botch or fukk up and can carry a match..even sable had that with luna...ronda has steph who is shyt in the ring so its going to be hard for her to surpass those performances lol

 

[krazykid18]

The main event this yr should have been Cena vs Regins and Brock vs. Bray

they wasted this for Reigns vs. Lesnars and then Cena and Bray are stuck in trash matches

 

[Da King]

HBGOAT not walking through that door anymore, main events are dead

She is stiff awkward can't act and green as baby shyt. I don't think she lasts a year

 

[Long Live The Kane]

This will be my third year in a row going, and I'm more excited about partying on bourbon and knocking down random broads than I am the actual show....The party scene at WrestleMania is very underrated...Last year in Orlando was ... First night there we left the club with like 5 bad latin bytches that were on our jock cause we wore replica belts

Come the actual day of Mania, I was nodding in and out of sleep cause we didn't get in til 6am the night before and I started drinking again soon as I got up...Missed like the whole first hour of the show... I'm gonna try to be more on point this year

Rousey could be so ugly as far as quality of match and never make it to raw after mania.

That is how potentially disastrous this is feeling.

We know what the main event is.

Roman vs Brock is closing the show.

When the headline for AJ vs Nakamura is Dream Match, not the WWE title you should already know.

AJ Nakamura is a traditional Intercontinental title match, but neckbeards cried for two world titles.

This sounds like mad fun.
Get a five hour energy, for shyt like potential snoozefest style good movies and WWE ppvs.
I been doing it if I get sleepy as a precaution.
You never know when some shyt made sleepy time now.
As shyt mad boring cause these white people in power just fukk'n zardon inept.

Real talk,...
I keep forgetting when the ppv are this year cause the shyt been so boring setting up the matches. Sometimes on Sunday, I start thinking like what day is it,...i dunno.
Then around ten-ish,...when the ppv going off damn near. I be like oh wow.
It was a ppv today.

Oh well maybe i catch it on daily.
Who gives a fukk. When I got a windows phone to specifically watch bootleg box WWE ppv on the go too.

Wwe just has build quality on boring.
As they have no idea that you need to be innovative with the jndy heroes cause we seen this shyt for real with them way way before they ever graced a WWE ring. .i don't think WWE realizes they are behind in perception of workrate. Like my mom has recently been watching new Japan on the sneak completely addicted to the whole you gon kill that boy omg oh he lived,...from that shoot quality. That she is like this Japan stuff is like damn near real and I been watching a lot of njpw off the DVR from over the years too. My Mom hates wrasslin but the only times I recall her ever like lemme watch what the fukk omg don't kill the boy is roh on DirecTV and now njpw from the devitt and styles stuff. Like my moms is easily on the Daniel and aj train and does not know it.

As literally those two have made my I hate wrasslin moms be like on the low lemme see these boys almost kill themselves in roh and Japan silent fan. To the point of course roman is here bf like any other woman who ever just peeks at wrasslin. Yet even my moms can recognize that aj and Daniel are vicious psychos that are more or less neutered in WWE. When Daniel came back on Tuesday she was like that crazy mean little boy that be hurting people gon be back wrasslin. I was like mom done seen Bryan stretch so many people in passing and from roh on DirecTV over the years. it is kinda funny actually.
That the WWE thinks their female general fanbase is not perceptive. When most of the older ladies you encounter can see and readily recognize the immediate difference in quality. Like moms watched hangman and switchblade today and she was stuck like they should be dead this was excellent.
After, she watched aj and rainmaker one and two, earlier too.

When aj blasts Okada on the apron she was apAlled.

Super spinning neckbreaker,...omg
Counter chain of bladerunner to flat liner on the apron to Rolling thunder German suplex apron counter.

fukked me and her both up.

She could not believe hangman landed on his feet.

She was like okay I see why you still watch this stuff still.

These dudes should be dead.

It is pretty awesome actually.
The power of good high quality wrasslin.

WWE Title, Royal Rumble winner, not a predictable winner, great match that will be over, doesn't require fukkery. It should go last.

But the build reveals everything. They're doing nothing for the AJ/Nakamura match.

WWE Title, Royal Rumble winner, not a predictable winner, great match that will be over, doesn't require fukkery. It should go last.

If the WWE is at least perceptive of the mythos to save this all in one fell swoop and still long book it for mania the following year.
to actually capitalize on the Japan audience the long way is simple.
Plus, make roman into the new sting chases flair.
in Brock always besting roman at mania and rebuild roman through Brock on the under card. After you have Nakamura also lose to aj styles at mania.

If WWE knows the character of aj styles as far as psychology.
aj can easily, counter Nakamura and all his knee to the face madness. Which would give Nakamura time to work on his communication package.
As you just can not be a WWE champion and not be able to communicate well after mania in the subsequent followup programs after a mania win. It is just no way for you to do it, without giving Nakamura a mouth piece or device and although intriguingly funny.
It would be insensitive to have subtitles for Nakamura. Yet imo, Nakamura could get away with using vanguard one as a translator and employ the titan tron as the visual subtitle display but I don't think this company is that visionary but it is a simple wacky quick fix that fits into the idea of character based quality programming WWE is known for in legacy, they are unmistakenly aware of.
Not the mistakenly bad idea of big is better the McMahon way they are aware of and always employ.
So since nakamura's current communication package is lacking.

It actually requires Nakamura to lose at mania since nakamura's communication package is so lackingly bad for the American audience and also by typical Japan style promos as well. As WWE does not perform the locker room intense promo after the win to much any more. That Nakamura is okay in via promo as far as fluidity in his native language.
Given, Nakamura needs time to ramp up his communication package it would be wise for WWE to just redo nakamura's current Japan mythos of losing to Brock and having to redefine himself to be unpredictably better to get past the former language barrier telegraph moveset loss to aj styles previously at mania.
That given how the world champion's communication package and profitability works for any mania world champion.
As far as profitability and the world champion's communication package quality are connected and integral to one another.
Which requires nakamura losing and then winning the long way.
once his communication package considerably builds rapidly leading into the next year's mania.
since Brock should be reacquired at least on a small appearance and one year deal. Where now you can have transparency and work the long term Brock holds the title hostage on smack down, swapping out the red strap for brock's new blue smack down strap. Then build smack down up using roman and Nakamura the same way smack down was used to build edge to Brock to eddy to now even aj up.

having nakamura lose to simple dead bug kill stylesclash counter by aj from nakamura telegraphing the supposed conclusion in the mania build.
Which can lead to Nakamura being positioned to wherever Brock and roman wind up, which should be smack down. With aj rolling into raw as the real mania defense winning wwe champion.
Then use the long build of the universal title being successfully defended and in legacy honoring sammartino's look, main tights color of blue change the smack down universal title blue.
With the smack down title blue, or another way to build Nakamura is to have Nakamura acquire the UK title and when he eventually beats Brock. You merge the UK title and the universal title, where the wwe title just merges the face plate design with twerking of the world title from the design of the UK title and the strap goes back to a plain black or deep brown legacy color like big gold had.
If you position Nakamura, roman, Orton, and Brock on smack down.
In the long run NWA style chase of flair with Brock as this hybrid hostage legacy style, Hogan[implied but still scrubbed of course like how they currently do it ], Bruno flair type in just the new line of guy who is capable of doing being a long term champion in that image and be viewed by brock's fan base as a tweener. Who is such from his brutality in competition. Eventually, you don't have to market the older guard of flair, and Bruno or the implied Hogan thing eventually.
eventually after a soft phase out of that legacy in wwe's glossed over continuity does not matter way anyway.
As, orton, Nakamura and roman actually fit more as rivals via workrate and look and feel. Where roman and Nakamura can take the short determined competitor style promos in baby steps both to finally having actual promos that display a character from the workrate lead by Nakamura's generalship that will hopefully rub off on roman and roman can learn what he does wrong from nakamura's baby steps.
to overcome the hurdles of the language barrier.
Leading to Nakamura being positioned to be the person who beats Brock.
Plus, the promos responses get scaled in Brock's encounters because either way Brock is booked
after Brock actually kills roman and position roman and Nakamura as the two guys unable to beat Brock by Continuing to cite Nakamura's defeat earlier to Brock in the battle of the youngest world champions ever in japan and finally have Nakamura beat Brock.
plus, as a result build roman in the undercard.
to eventually go over Nakamura and Brock as the inhouse built credible genetic second to third generational Samoan WWE based character after the rock.
As of right now if the WWE Continues with this focus of making this about the spectacle of the legacy of the company.
Plus, its continued nostalgia to the era of rocky III and the supposed inherited NWA wannabe son in law heel champion underling to the jack tunney controls the universe somehow mode of wrasslin.
which never drew more than actual character mythos based wrasslin in a larger profit based capacity. Thus making the profits of the WWE forever mired in mediocrity. When this company had the potential and ruined it to be much much more.
It is crazy actually this company by happenstance and windfall came into being alive this long.
When you look at the apparent ineptitude decision wise this company makes consistently. Not realizing they flirt with it being all over just like that. I don't think this company realizes it teeters on the very verge of being a pity draw to extinct at all.
