Why doesn't Mania season seem magical this year
vegas back to back
>>19952883When was the last time Wrestlemania season seemed magical? WWE has been boring as fuck for literal years at this point. The only reason it's the #1 wrestling promotion is because all the other promotions are even worse.
>>19952921>When was the last time Wrestlemania season seemed magicaLast year
>>19952883Because you’re all grown now and wrestling is dead
>>19952883It is magical though.
>>199529212024 was kino
>>19952883No Fein
>>19952992Last year didn't get interesting until Elimination Chamber. Pray Paul swerves us with LA winning the chamber because Orton turns heel on Cody. It would save the show.
>>19952883Two years ago Cody was the main character and everything he did was must see last year it was Cena now it's nothing. I do not give a fuck about Roman or Punk bitching about who works the least there is nothing there. I will watch the slop but I have 0 excitement this year
No RockNo CenaNo Roman/Bloodline title reign
>>199529212024>>19952883It's lost some of its luster since going to two nights. There is also a lot of animosity surrounding the WrestleMania brand right now. Pulling the show from New Orleans, going back to Vegas, last year's show being a wet fart, ticket prices, banning watch parties, the reality of SaudiMania, etc.
This most likely will be the last mania before the Saudis buy the WWE. I think it has been a done agreement for months now
Injuries haven't helped but they have no real idea what to do. So few are at a high level, Cody has been fumbled, Punk was likely chasing the title to Mania or Rumble at the earliest, Drew needed building up first. Hell this is rumoured to be Brock's final year, so his final Mania and its just an open challenge.>>19954006The main hook of their feud is Roman seethes over something Punk said 10 years ago.
>>19954149>Hell this is rumoured to be Brock's final year, so his final Mania and its just an open challenge.If thats the case then it's obviously going to be Gunther
>>19952883because triple h doesn't know how to book. He doesn't understand that wrestlers are supposed to have characters and storylines. The cody and sami segment on smackdown was more interesting than any of the wrestlemania feuds because it actually suited their characters
>>19952883I don't even get what you're talking about. They've announced two matches, and they're both huge ones. I feel really confident about this year's show.
Because its corporate now.
>>19952883It's going to be even worse next year
>>19952883No build of any interest.>>19954091I mean, just statistically, it almost has to be an improvement.
It's insane to me that WrestleMania is over 50 days away and people are already criticizing it.
pauletty doesn't know how to make a show feel big like vince did. all he does to build hype is say that the show will be the dawn of a new era
It's early yet. We haven't had Elimination Chamber and we really only know one of the matches.The various injures didn't help. Seth and Bron were surely set up for big matches that are now off.
>>19954480I think a lot of why 2025 felt worse than the previous years is because of all the injuries that happened. That and the Cena storyline not working until he turned babyface again.
>>1995292130
>>19952921Road to Wrestlemania 30 was the last time it truly felt special. 2024 was pretty good too (thanks to The Rock), but Wrestlemania 40 itself was awful. Not a single good match and Cody's victory celebration with Bruce Pritchard and Hunter was soulless as fuck.
>>19952883Probably because it's only February and Elimination Chamber hasn't even happened yet. Once you get closer to Mania it'll be different. Was the case for last year at least
>Actual stars like Rock and Cena aren't around this timeGee I wonder
>>19954610Wrestlemania 30 had an engaging build all the way from Summerslam the previous year. WWE is just lazy as fuck now. All world title matches are decided via rumble or chamber matches. No effort into just writing some storylines.Brock is doing a goddamn open challenge FFS! lazy booking!
>>19954181Correct. Brock will either face Oba or Gunther at Mania, and you’ll know whether it’s Brock’s last match by which of those two it is.
>>1995292139 and 40
>>19952883The only big names are Cody, Roman, and Punk. Their presence is the only thing keeping the show from being a total fucking disaster, but they also aren't in angles big enough to carry the show. Real legends like Rock and Cena aren't showing up. And there are no long-term stories that are having their big blow off match at wrestlemania. I think the injuries have forced them to scramble the card together at the last minute. Seth and Vision was probably supposed to play a big part in this.
>>19952883because they ruined WWE forever by booking a bunch of mexican trannies.
>>19954767>there are no long-term stories that are having their big blow off match at wrestlemaniathis is the biggest issue under triple H / tko. they do these potential Wrestlemania blow off matches on shit like SNME, Raw on Netflix specials (the debut, new year's show, stranger things etc), international PLEs. The priority is appeasing advertisers and investors by booking angles and blow offs at these "special" shows. By the time Mania comes around there's no long term story to blow off at mania.
>>19952921When the Rock came back you dumb fucking retard
Phil main eventing vs a guy that doesn't show up is a hard sell for me personally
>>19954058>ticket pricesThe fact they openly admitted they were raising prices just to price families out really kinda soured me on ever spending a cent on WWE. Like I get TKO are gonna be jews, but at the sheer arrogance to just flat out admit it is something else
>>19954235Lol
>I don't even get what you're talking about. They've announced two matches, and they're both huge ones. I feel really confident about this year's show.
>>19952883Paul can’t book
>>19954927put it in the bible
>>19954891It's way more jarring when they do a match just to build another PPV around it not long after. Like Jey losing to Gunther and then winning the rumble and challenging him again. It would be easier to stomach if they at least found better ways to build up the match. Now their idea of building wrestlemania matches seems to rely solely on the fact that the match takes place at wrestlemania.
>>19952883because it’s been 25 years since mania 2000, brother
>>19954860whats funny is that WWE started booking trannies and they kept watching. hypocrites.
>>19952883- No organic storylines.- Too many meaningless belts.- Severe lack of stars.- Too many factions.- Injuries and botches every week.And nothing feels important or must see, it has been this way since Wrestlemania 40 to be honest.
No Seth, no good mania, simple as. You might hate it smarkies, but it's the truth. It was the same with WM32.
>>19952883>Vegas>All TKO gives a shit about is ticket sales>All the stars WWE have been leaning on for the past 15 years to comeback as an attraction are getting too old or have retired>Poor booking of the Vision for a year>CM Punk vs Reigns would feel bigger if they hadn't feuded last year>Way too much onus on women like Liv Morgan, Stephanie and Jade who all suckI could go on and on
>>19954860>triggered that Pimpinella showed up for 10 secs for a comedy segmentThere is no way this isn't a falseflag. No one could possibly give this much of a fuck unless they were called a tranny for the last 6 years
>>19955978>let me take all the criticisms of AEW and apply them to WWEGod, i hate you disingenous trannies like you wouldn't believe.
>>1995292141 because cody vs cena heel40 because cody second try39 because cody returned
>>19956018You're so close to coming to a conclusion, let's see if you can rub your two brain cells together
>>19956018You're such a whiny pussy, go suck some cock and cheer yourself up faggot
>>19956083Yea, that you are a thinskinned cultist who hated the criticisms AEW got the last 6 years and are trying to project them on WWE now despite half of them not applying. No stars? WWE is the only wrestling show that has any stars, lil bro
>>19952883It’s come crashing down and it hurts inside.Wrestling doesn’t make me happy like it used to. Few things do anymore though.
>>19955999you WWEfags will use even one second of a tranny being on screen to dismiss any other fed, but when WWE subjects you to tranny shit, you forgive it? hypocritical. SHAMEFUL. and you can't lie, I know that the AAA trannies have been on your screen for a lot more than ten seconds. I don't even think you actually hate trannies like me. also, I love how you immediately assume I'm an AEWtist (I'm not). all you care about is being a simp for a bunch of greedy jews.
>>19956122No one would have given a fuck if Nyla was just a nobody jobber. AEW is the tranny fed because they put the women's title on them and the AEW fans defended it. Sorry being called a tranny the last 6 years hurt you so deeply that now you are obsessed.
>>19956099You came to the wrong conclusion, better luck with your two brain cells next time
>>19956085You know what? That’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
>ctrl F aew 1/5This is a thread to discuss why WWE sucks right now, stick to the topic
>>19956142>themyou don't actually hate trannies, and that's fine. just don't use it to consolewar with if you're actually fine with them
No Rocky. No watchy.
>>19957783Is he making a movie or something?
>>19956142>themthe correct word is HIM, you disgusting piece of shit. stop trying to false flag.
>>19957947Her pronouns
>>19957961YWNBAW and neither will nyla rose or gisele shaw. argue all you want but nature already settled this.
>>19952883Triple H is boring. Wrestlemania 42 esthetic is black and silver, it’s supposed to be for kids and their families, yet it’s being presented like an indie fed.Vince always made sure mania had a light warm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s the Super Bowl of wrestling! He would have made the theme song Sabrina carpenter with a Nevada/New Mexico theme
>>19957979I like my wrestlers like I like my manned aircraft nature defiant and with free peanuts
>>19952883you grew up
>>19957792More than likely, plus he's not longer the shit brick house he was the past couple years. Not as drastic as transformation as The Animal, but he's definitely skinnier.
>>19952883Indies have been doing a better job at Mania weekend than WWE.
>>19958195That's lame but fair good luck with any of your endeavors dwayne
>>19952883Picrel killed WWE.
>>19952883Because there's literally no stories or hype
>>19956144WWE has its faults but just pretending its the same shit that their fans said about AEW is lazy and retarded and comes off bitter and spiteful as fuck
>>19958302See: >>19956198
>>19956198edrones are insane
>>19952883It hasn't been magical to me for years. I'm talking like since WM31 I have not given a fuck at all.
>>19958003thats at least creative lol. now figure out what gender you are and you might actually become pretty based. I believe in you anon, you can do it.
Paul fumbled
>>19952883Don't worry fren. Paul Heyman said that this WrestleMania is bad on purpose so that the SaudiMania will be megabased.We gettin' The Rock vs. Roman Reigns.We gettin' Stone Cold vs. CM Punk.We gettin' The Undertaker vs. Gunther.We gettin' Brock Lesnar vs. Logan Paul.We gettin' Jake Roberts vs. Randy Orton.We gettin' Mr. McMahon vs. Janel GrantJust wait till Mania 42.
>>19961956Oh fuck I forgot that this years mania is 42.Kek what a forgetful show 41 was.
