The Reigns in this video is who should be pushed.

Yes, the Reigns without a script and just told to go out there and be himself.

It's either trying to remember a script and deliver it how they want instead of how he's naturally say it, or he's nervous speaking in front of a crowd. The latter would be a huge problem, but I don't think it's that as he does show some natural swagger now and again.

If it's him being nervous then I think it'll pass. It's possible he was just nervous because the spotlight was thrown on him so suddenly, but as time goes on and he gets accustomed to where he is and what he is in the business, then I think he'll get better.

This is why I think it's the stupid scripting:

Who knew WressleGAF was so funny! You guys are totes awesome

I know right? Hysterical thread.

 

[MC Safety]

I'll watch it, but it's a nothing match.

If any match is throwaway and deserves to be relegated to the pre-show, it's the divas tag match.

At least the battle royal will be a showcase for wrestlers who don't usually get an opportunity during these pay per views.

Roman comes off so likable here.

Battle Royal is a bunch of people thrown together for no reason.

Divas match has a build and storyline behind it.

You might not care about it, and that's fine, but it's hard to argue that the Divas match means less than the Battle Royal.

Does the divas tag have a giant trophy? I THINK NOT.

Honestly, I'd rather have a divas title match with no Bellas involved yelling. There's just no stakes in that match at all.

 

[Kaladin]

Itami probably got hot shotted into the Battle Royal because there are people from the Japanese wrestling scene there due to it being in California and Fujinami going into the Hall.

I would even go as far as predicting a win there.

But this reigns can't sell merch to kids. He needs to be funny and make goofy faces like Cena!!!

I think a final four appearance is likely but he's not going to win considering he seems like he could still benefit from being in developmental.

"He's just as funny as his cousin The Rock! King, did you know that the Rock and Reigns are family!?"

 

[DMczaf]

So when did Nikki Bella become the Queen of Strong Style? Wtf

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Reigns has never come off as likable in his life.

 

[MisterR]

I need to see it again, but I remember them both putting on great performances

Roman was good in the match.

 

[newdayrocks]

So when did Nikki Bella become the Queen of Strong Style? Wtf

She's a little awkward at times, but she's come incredibly far in the last year. She's my favorite main roster woman wrestler right now.

Imagine if Nikki and Brie's entrance was like Nakamura's WK8 entrance. That'd be sweet.

I don't understand some of these. Like the Trish Stratus match, is it the pussy grab? lol

 

[Killing_Joke]

The crowd is going to be fucking exhausted by the time Brock/Reigns rolls around.

It's not that different from other years. Except dark matches were never aired before. The only major difference is ANOTHER hour pre show which seems like overkill but will most likely be aired right when the gates open or air outside like NXT.

Last year had a two hour pre-show as well.

There's really nothing different in that regard except the two matches on the pre-show airing during the second hour.

Clear as a bell. 82 and sunny.

I like how when he finally shows up, he's jogging down that way too long entrance area they had at WM8.

 

[Kaladin]

I think a final four appearance is likely but he's not going to win considering he seems like he could still benefit from being in developmental.

I don't think a win would mean he's getting called up, he would just be a guy from NXT getting a win at Mania, and they could also use that to push that a lot of NXT alumni are on the card tonight.

 

[TimeEffect]

How the hell did people in those shitty entrance seats watch the matches?

If I cancel my network subscription today, will i be able to watch Mania tmrw? I know Netflix allows me to continue to watch until the next billing date when canceling.

Yeah, you get it up to your next billing date.

Why wouldn't you wait until the next day?

 

[Pavaloo]

nikki was this good last year

people are only paying attention now, but really thats only because divas had been booked like such shit until recently

think its a bummer theres no womens title defense at mania

 

[tj hazuki]

Why wouldn't you wait until the next day?

I didn't want it to charge on my card.

Yeah, you get it up to your next billing date.

Thx. I just canceled it, I'll subscribe again later.

I'm going!

I'm sort of worried that the pillars will block my view. They don't seem as bad as previous Manias but it still bothers me that I'm probably sitting in direct view of them.

I hated that since everything leading up to that botch was so good. One of the better woman's matches regardless.

 

[krae_man]

Guys, you're not going to win squat betting on every match. Remember Ryback-Henry a few days ago? One match will have a random swerve for random swerves sake and you'll lose.

[MrPressStart]

So with Brock signing... does he drop the belt to Reigns?
Does Cena job to Rusev?
Does Rollins cash in?
Does Wyatt beat Taker?
Does HHH job to Sting?


MY guess is...

Cena over Rusev
Reigns over Brock
Wyatt over Taker
Sting over HHH

Rollins unsuccessful on cash in (I hope not)

 

[Hasney]

I'm putting a triple bet accumulator on Bryan/Cena/Brock to go with the part-time champ and elevate the other 2 belts in its place. Was going to make it a quad bet with Rollins, but I can see him losing if he's cashing in soon. This will win £93

HOWEVER, I also got a free bet, so I threw it on the whole card minus the battle royal

 

[JavyOO7]

Love the Brock sit down interview show on WM Today yesterday. I think it was an older interview. Regardless, he has a great voice. He sells his character so well and probably has the audience believing that Roman has no chance.

That's because he DOESN'T have a chance.

 

[Dazzler]

just watched Roman and Heyman on Michelle Beadle's podcast on Grantland

Roman even comes across as wooden and forced in a sit down meeting

guy just straight up sucks
