what's the story?
>>19960835Umm.. Your Wiseman was my Wiseman first! and he walked me down the aisle last year!
>>19960835you gotta wait for Romans month and a half long vacation after his excruciating 14 minute long rumble victory to get the story started
>>19960835DREAM MATCH because we say it's a DREAM MATCH ok don't question just CONSUME
>>19960850Shoot laughed at this
Two cancer-riddled frauds who wish they were Dwayne.
>>19960835Two high-octane superstars in a competitve, physical industry want to prove that they're the better wrestler.
I'm a better wrestler than you
>>19960835>what's the story?CM Phil is a worked bitch who has had sour grapes over not main eventing Wrestlemania back in the day that Triple H gave him his main event and his chance to prove he can carry the card, which is failing to do.It's too meta for someone like you to even begin to grasp
>>19960835https://youtube.com/watch?v=9GdHfRd1HU8
>>19960835That Phil's a dimeless bitch and can't move tickets and romanetty is being exposed as still being a dimeless bitch that can't move tickets
there is none
>>19960835How many years in a row have we had the build to Mania for the main event be one guy yelling at someone not even there?
>punk thinks roman is overrated af>roman hates punkthere you go
>>19960835Punk has beaten every member of the Shield except Roman
Tie Loki to the tree so that fourth world shall be avoided.
>>19960835Wrestlemania NEEDS The Rock. Holy shit this is grim
You see-ah, WRESTLEMANIA is the story, and no one-ah is bigger than wrestlemania
>>19961141Rock showing up and making the match with Cody and taking the night two main event from Punk and Roman would work on so many levels and set so much shit up but of course we're not getting that
>>19960835The guy on the right won the Royal Rumble so he picked the champion, CM Punk, to have a match with. Feels pretty clear to me.
>>19960835>Phil made fun of me on a podcast like twenty years ago>I'm here to make Roman look strong
>>19961344that's not a story
>>19961141yes Yes YES
>>19961355The guy won so he picked the title he wanted to fight for, that not enough story for you?
>>19961367The promo they had where Roman explained why he picked Punk and they aired their grievances and motivations etc. was also apparently not enough.
>>19960835Shoot reason? They’re the two biggest draws left in professional wrestling. That’s it. Work reason is as follows:>Punk is the reason Roman even got a shot, because he’s the one who called the Shield up>Roman feels resentment towards Punk because of that, and feels that he has done more than enough to justify his part time appearances >Punk is 48 yet is still going every night>Roman is 40 yet working part time>That makes Punk feel like he’s better>But Roman thinks he better BECAUSE he only has to work part time>clash of two different philosophies Also it’s just a rerun of last year just without Seth lol
>>19960835>what's the story?contractual obligations, please understandpunks is walking out of mania as unified champ
Vince would’ve changed the main event at this point.
>>19961426No, Vince wouldn’t have priced out all the actual fans. Punk vs Roman is a good fucking match. Ticket sales are not underperforming because of interest, they’re underperforming BECAUSE NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO FUCKING GO YOU IDOT
>>19960835You tell me
Punk said some vague thing about Roman on a podcast 15 years ago
>>19961388>>19961438Big Cody programs do the most money. It seems to be a mistake that they took the focus off the guy the last 3 Manias were built around, and tried to avoid a 'Cena effect' by not pushing him so hard. Punk and Roman are obviously money draws but they are guys that mostly draw with the fans big into WWE and already willing to put down money. Cody brings kids and families, and with no big program set those people aren't going to put down big money to take the family to Vegas of all places unless they are Chevy Chase. It's like Cena not having a match yet but Orton and Edge have the main event.
Roman cried after Phil said he was ordered to make him look strong
>>19962083The most absurd thing about Phil catching heat for that from Roman is that if you actually listen to the whole thing, Phil wasn’t even insulting Roman. He was just saying that “if you want me to put him over, then it makes sense for me to lose” but Vince wanted Phil to go over. So he’s thinking “okay, but you still want me to make him look good, got it”. At the tome Phil was a fucking ring general, so he knew how to do that well yet all these producers kept nagging him. Not once in that interview did he actually insult Roman. He was mostly pissed at Micheal Hayes
>>19960835punk belittled romans entire existence saying he didn’t want him in the shield and that they had to have “their guy” in it and did the whole gotta make roman look really really strong stuff. basically a 10 year build if you actually watched wrestling
The story is the default result of any royal rumble winner ever. aka Paul can't book.
>>19960835Roman hates Punk. I don't think we need a Kingdom Hearts/Metal Gear-esque story for that.Plus they wanna keep Roman on Raw and elevate the New WHC.
>>19963130Nomura finna step up to the book and give us some kino. Cody Rock soul storyline was made for him.
