Reigns should be better than this if he is gonna main event mania. I'm sure most of the other guys on the roster could do better right now.
Only way Reigns could have been in the main event naturally was a Shield triple threat.
I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm disagreeing with the thought that people had high expectations for this Mania.
We were one ignored pity-revolt away from what Vince himself called "the greatest Mania main event of all time", Guardians of the Galaxy co-star and Bond villain Batista dethroning Randy Orton. That alone should have crushed any hope that we weren't in for a new era of bad WWE product. By preventing that, the fans just made the era come a year later and ruined their chance to prevent this because now Vince is doing this out of spite.
We were getting a legendarily bad Mania anyway. Now people are just reacting negatively in the wrong direction; take it out on Vince, don't buy it, don't support him.
