Probable unpopular opinion incoming ....
I think this year Mania was unnecessarily tampered with by a panic move on their part because of the Vince stuff.
That news dropped and within a week Rock the Dwayne was inserted into the picture. The story with Roman and Cody should be center stage and it's not. Hell even the title and the historic title run aren't center stage anymore.
At best, Rock could have been the ref or cost Roman the title in some way that would finished the Cody story and started the Roman/Rock feud.
I'm allergic to memberberries, so no I don't think, "wrestling is cool again." It got interesting again when Roman carried the company thru the pandemic. It isn't getting cooler because a 50 year old man is saying 'shit' on tv.
It definitely isn't cool that Rock is clearly going into business for himself by going over the top in ways that would get anyone else fired or taken off tv. Even some of those slaps last week looked way too stiff. I hope Cody gives his ass a few receipts on Saturday.
It will definitely be cool when Roman can start roasting his ass in promos. Rock's early 2000s catchphrase bingo is going to be food for the tribal chief.
I couldn't disagree more, as a person who hadn't watched wrestling in years and was drawn in by the rock and all the coverage he's been getting I definitely don't see it that way, and I'm not the only person in my immediate circle and the forums info to that feel that way. This is an amazing storyline that has made me appreciate guys I had zero interest in like Cody Rhodes, roman, Seth Rollins and all the others involved. I've found this entire road to WrestleMania to have been epic. The numbers also seem to agree with me, I'm seeing articles on cnn, Becky on different interview shows I've never seen wrestlers on let alone female wrestlers, the rock has put a giant spotlight on the WWE and it's undeniable. You don't have to like it but you can't act like the rock hasn't made this massive.
