but it is impressive so far, its the first time since Cena they have a white meat babyface thats organically over

 

[Comrade Khan]

that's quite a feat in 2022-23

 

[Comrade Khan]

but, wait until he beats your faves ig, usually how it goes lol

 

[Chris]

Yeah the crowd turning on the champion is still always very possible

 

[Death By Looch]

It's pretty simple. It's typical WWE behavior. The fans threw absolute storygold in their faces, but they had their plans penciled in and decided not to go with actually finishing the story with THE big finish. Sami's rise and how the fans made him pretty much into the #1 Babyface of the company happened in a way that comes maybe twice or thrice in a generation. Completely organically... and creative decided to ignore pretty much all signs they got thrown in their faces. The only saving grace for them this time is, that a lot of fans like Cody and his story still works well enough as a substitute. If this would happen like 6-7 years ago, the fans would probably tear the Mania Main Event apart.

 

[Comrade Khan]

and while still heavy handed, certainly does NOT feel like that manufactured face Roman crap they shoved down everyone throat ad nauseum for half a decade

 

[Chris]

I still think Sami losing was the right call

well ya if roman was facing brock and not cody and sami lost....ooooooh boy

For the titles in Montreal, yea... because he should've been in the Mania Main Event.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I don't. The crowd will be great for Cody but that was a once and lifetime reaction in Quebec. I would have pulled the trigger

 

[Comrade Khan]

yes, but only if Roman loses (which i am still 99.9% he will)

 

[Comrade Khan]

if Roman wins, everyone should rightfully nitch

I think Sami would've gotten an insane response at Mania as well.

 

[Chris]

He wouldn't have ever even gotten the title match if not for the fans so I don't think they ignored it, it just wasn't the exact result people wanted. Original plan was probs way different, Sami and KO would have made up earlier and had the tag title match in Montreal instead. They def put KO on ice for a bit late last year bc they weren't ready for Sami to turn as quick as they previously thought

if ur argument is that Sami should have won the rumble and main event mania, then yes, that I agree with because I think he is better than Cody at everything
