WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Conference Discussion Thread

they basically had rock make both cody and roman look like bitches in the span of a week on two different days

Yeah, but I do think the second one is gonna work for the story.

idk the endgame but they could have the rock come in and basically take over and have roman realize this is how he was the last 3 years and it's not "best for business" so he regroups solo/roman/jey/jimmy to take down the new "head of the table" and disband the bloodline for good.

 

[Smart Marx]

The one thing I am like 1000% positive of is if Roman loses the bloodline he’s not gonna regroup them for a babyface push against the Rock. They’ll be aligned against Roman this time.

The outcome of whatever happens should be Roman finally going out on his own and being a babyface.

I actually kind of like Butters idea, but spice it up a little bit. Don’t have them all join him at first. Let him be alone, after he tried to recruit them and they just are like nah. Maybe at first have it be Rock is nicer to them (but not to Roman idk lol) but slowly let Rock turn into a bigger dick than Roman was, and one by one they slide over to Roman to kill it all for good.

yeah i was doing cliff notes, they could even bring sami back into the mix if they wanted. the OG Bloodline when it was actually hot but not to stick around just take down the rock.

basically the WWE avengers

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Jey and Sami should definitely be the last two to join back also, but after a good heartfelt apology from Roman.

I guess I’ll just have to respectfully disagree. Because then Roman doesn’t learn any lessons. He needs to be his own man.

That’s fine, I mean I totally understand that point of view, and partly why I said it be a thing he basically earns. Cause it can end up being a year long build(if they start the night after) basically, and I was thinking around the Royal Rumble time being when they were to get back with him. Cause he kinda still learns his lesson there, being alone for months, even if he’s gone like 4-5 months of that possibly. But I mean I totally understand your reasoning for why you feel how you do.

I was hoping Rock was going to bring in his own Bloodline and we got Jacob Fatu from MLW as Rock's enforcer for this... but now things have changed.

So I finally got around to watching the main segment and bro, Roman is such a fucking good stage actor. Like it's just the right amount of extra over the top reactions that you should only do when acting in front of a live crowd. Not saying it'll translate to actual movies or anything either but considering it's a relatively new improvement since the heel turn, seems to be a real quick learner. Probably be better than Dwayne

That was honestly my main takeaway Rock full heel was so much better than face would have been even if the crowd wasn't against him, and I thought Cody did well too but that was even more of a drastic 180 from his SmackDown promo than I expected just from reading other people's reaction. They definitely want you to think he went "off script" which like eh that's a sketchy line to try and go down, if this was mostly planned they already worked the internet great, no need to go full blurred lines. Nothing that can't still be rectified easy enough tho
