>We're finally getting Randy vs Cody>The Mentor vs. The Student dream match>The Final Test>For the Main Event of WrestleMania>For the Undisputed WWE Championship>And yet, literally not a single person cares about it>Literall zero (0) hype>It's just another matchPaul needs to be fired immediately.
>>20022311They needed to have this match within the first 6 months of Cody's title win before people remembered he's a giant fucking self mark dork
>>20022311theres still like 5 weeks to mania dude wtf the match just got made and they've been teasing it for like 3 years
I do remember this one look hyping people up 2 years ago
>>20022327This lol it was perfect for Summerslam that year and instead we got.. Cody vs. Solo
I still get the hunch that Orton is gonna turn out to be the one that took out Jacob and Jey and Jacob is gonna get into the title match. Hell, there is a chance of Drew and Sami getting in that match somehow.
>we're finally getting..
>>20022311Didn't they have a match already?
>>20022311Triple H is really hoping this is going to be the thing that helps the relatively poor ticket sales for mania. Spoiler, it won't be. Who the champ is, and who they are facing is the very least of Wrestlemanias problems.
>>20022525Pretty much, they were building towards Cody, Drew, Jacob for the entire past 7 months or so and then just abandoned it one month before Mania because tickets are not selling. They will do this instead of admitting no one wants to buy overpriced tickets to a mediocre show in the same city as last year
>>20022507Anything that happens in Saudi is non canon.
>>20022525Go watch the reaction to the finishing sequence on Smackdown. Families and kids want a good guy to root for, not someone dropping pipe bombs or being Twitter sassy. Cody Orton for the title is a good story with places to go, since so many others are involved.
>>20022541Fuck off Paul
>>20022507>>20022520>a random tournament on a Saudi house show is the same as a WrestleMania Main Eventsaars pls
>>20022533Also, the boom period that WWE went through shortly after Cody returned is slowly ending now. WWE is noticeably a much cooler product that it once was even a year or two ago.
>>20022551The boom period is ending as a result of that though, shitty booking, filled PLEs and tickets that are way too expensive to justify 4 match cards
>>20022541It might sell some tickets, I don't doubt that. But it won't be the thing that makes a meaningful difference. It's not a hot match. A few years ago, sure. Now? Not so much.
>>20022561no house shows is the biggest one, they're losing small markets by not hitting them anymore
>>20022550I mean Saudi is getting a Mania next year and I guess they wasted it there kek
>>20022311It's kind of weird to have a vet vs. younger guy angle where the younger guy goes into the match as champion.
>>20022581>vet vs. younger guy>Randy's age: 45>Codys age: 40
>>20022566If there was any a time for Tony to capitalize it'd be do a small house show tour, literal spot shows but he's unfortunately probably going to be hard pressed to find any wrestlers willing
>>20022541Cody was gonna be on the card regardless. Why would this sell more tickets
>>20022541Seeing a title change in person is a big deal no matter how stupid it is retard. A bunch of people 3 beers deep will cheer at whatever stupid shit they see
>>20022507oof, Paul can't book
>>20022541That's cool logic and all but Cody will be the one getting booed against orton. orton is liked by more of the crowd.
>>20022311>Blandy Boreton vs 3 star generalcan't wait for a slow, plodding and unexciting headlock fest to fall asleep to
>>20022581Miz vs Cena
It’s only redeemed if Cody comes out to the Legacy theme with Ted Jr. in his corner.
The hype will turn up to 11 when one of them turns heel. Right now they’re both babyfaces which is why there’s no hypeSmackdown coming up Orton will probs punt kick the fuck out of Cody THEN you’ll all be wanking and cumming and shitting everywhere calling it the best feud of all timeSave this interview
>>20022311>>20022348This is legitimately the same kind of booking people make fun of AEW for>The matchup itself is the entire draw>No story unless you pull out the archives and look at stuff dating from years ago
>>20022311They waited way too long. It should have happened before the Roman feud or maybe between those two WrestleManias. From a writing perspective, the student should overcome the master just before the "final boss"
>>20022311>>We're finally getting Randy vs Codythey literally did randy vs cawdy last year at king of the ring
>>20023154You expect brown zoomers to understand story pacing?
>>20022311They just made the matchup yesterday. They have nearly 2 months left to build up hype for it. You are just desperate for something to bitch about.
>>20022311They could put Hogan vs whole city of atlanta in a piranha wired death match and It still would have problems selling outVegas is super overpriced and economy isnt greatx
>>20022534You do realise that Undertaker never had a normal match outside Saudi Arabia after he lost to Triple H one-on-one in Australia?
>>20025977Plus they ran Vegas last year and the tickets have been a joke in overpricing. Everything that can affect sales for Mania has happened.>>20023154Its interesting how they will build it. Orton didn't hesitate to take Cody out in the Chamber but regretted it afterward. Will they tease either guy turning the whole build or commit to one before the show itself?
>>20025977>>20026081vegas got fucked by sports betting on your phone. they're trying to pivot to only being for the mega rich
>>20022311I still don't understand why I'm supposed to care about Randy Orton matches. He's dimeless and doesn't give a shit.
>>20027365I never liked him either
The camerawork when Cody won was attorciously bad. It literally killed any hype the moment would have.Is it still Dunn doing the camerawork or someone else?
