***** Official WWE Wrestlemania 38 Discussion *****

Okay I'm serious here...

Did anyone else think Stone Cold actually looked looser than Cody in the ring tonight? lol

[yieldtonothing]

happy for cody tbh. this was the biggest moment of his career. that was the babyface pop he's been chasing for the last 3 or so years. wwe doesnt really have any other guys who can be the white meat babyface on the roster.

mjf and wardlow were paying attention. tony con won't ever be able to provide that kind of stage for them. hey, he's got a new toy in samoa joe though

[JUSA]

Sounds like Cody Rhodes might finally move the needle, it's interesting - it's the same guy many of us were growing tired of, put him on a new stage and it's a big deal. Hope Cody keeps crushing beyond his big Texas debut, if he can prove he's a big name I just hope they don't get petty with him like they did with his father.

[Nacured]

Night 1 was ok...

Cody Rhodes was actually alright...not a fan of his but this wasn't too bad. I do like the American Nightmare nickname it is really cool. I don't think he will do much though going forward. Probably feud with Rollins, maybe have another match and lose to Rollins.

Stone Cold was cool but nothing special.

Night 2 is where the big time match is with Lesnar and Reigns.

thing is when they brought dusty in, hogan was working on top and warrior was red hot. dusty also didnt really have the look that moves kennedy's needle. i've taken some massive chits on cody over the past few months, but dude does look like a star and definitely carries himself like one. they should give him a couple of months with the raw title and see how it goes imo.

what credible faces besides lesnar and aj styles do wwe have on the roster? srs. i'm way behind on the wwe product.

[stayhomeneet]

Thoughts.

Rousey lost = Good

Austin didn't embarrass himself = Good

Cody return was well done, but let's all be honest, that was the peak of his return, he will job to reigns before long and go back to the mid card.

Overall not bad, I think this will be the better of the two nights.

Lol

Reigns is going to win both titles tomorrow night.

Good luck to Cody in his future endeavours of trying to get one of the belts off him.

the titles will be split up almost immediately after mania

[squat_blaster]

Does WWE have an official nipple watcher? So what that Charlotte had a few nip slips. Not an excuse to block out the show.

[Mountaineer92]

cant wait for cody to be fed to roman reigns jfl and then hes a midcarder and STARDUST LOOOOL

Cody has spoken several times about being ready to retire from active wrestling soon. This run may actually be his swan song.

With that said, the dirtsheets say that Triple H has been relegated to only heading try-outs at NXT (a position similar to what Regal had), as he has to maintain a low-stress lifestyle from now on. I'm wondering if maybe there isn't a plan for Cody to assume some leadership role within NXT's back office, similar to his father's position when he passed.

100% they may bring goldie back too for one last run at the tag titles.

That's as close as Cody will get to the top In wwe where only one man matters, goes by the name of reigns.

[I3igAl]

It was better than expected.

Good:
- Austin really moved well and delivered far past exspectations.
- Becky and Bianca did something I would want to see more in wrestling: A match mostly consisting of throws and counters
- Cody was over as hell and he still has that amazing chemistry with Rollins from when he and his brother feuded with the Shield.


Okay:
- I only skimmed Flair-Rousey and Logan Paul-Miz stuff, because I didn't care and the show was too long already, but there seemingly wasn't much wrong with it

Bad:
- Bugenhagen hurting himself saddens me. He started wrestling already being quite old. I honestly was somewhat scared this was bound to happen sooner or with how hard the dude used to train. I hope this isn't the end for his career.

Being fed to Reigns means he gets a main event spot for some time. That's pretty optimistic.

perfect, now Brock Lesnar can get the position he deserves: General Manager and soon to be CEO once Vince calls it quits.

[ChunkBuster]

Brock is winning, surely?

[Deathstroke]

I’m picking Roman.

[HairyWBush]

you know I'm actually pretty glad Steve Austin came back and did that match. at first I was very against it, then I cooled off, and now I think it was a remarkable move for his career. I am not a big fan of his by any means, I actually think Brock Lesnar has had a better career, but I think he's no longer leaving any void in his career; I think he's given closure to himself and the fans and has absolutely nothing else to appease to. I watched what I could and wasn't really disappointed. He's showing his age but it wasn't bad. CM punk's matches are worse.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Was that same music Rhodes used in AEW?

I enjoyed the women title matches to be honest, and I usually dont care about them(no homo).

Logan Paul was actually pretty good. Can have a career in WWE.

And WTF was Byron thinking?!

Excited for Edge-AJ, Roman-Brock.

[havoc00]

Cody is going to be bored when hes in the mid card purgatory in a few months and realizes he cant do gimmick matches or blade anymore.

It was Cody’s AEW theme, Cody owns his own theme.

I suspect he will be ok taking the pay cheque while sacrificing his dignity.

carnies don't have dignity

don't work yourself into a shoot

[Land Shark]

Great sell by Byron with the stunner

In for
Lashley/Omos. I really hope Bobby isn’t turning face
P1/Edge
Reigns/Brock

[ChunkBuster]

Austin’s match was surprisingly good. It was as expected based on his age and injuries.

Kevin owens looked like he did the truffle shuffle when he hit himself with the chair.

[OT2000]

Cody was better than expected both entrance, in ring and reception. I always thought he had potential but was just another mid card. His technique improved.

WWE needs a boost so let’s see what he does.

Lol @ bringing in Stove cold

[LiftBigEatBig]

-Becky coming out looking like emo Tobey Maguire
-Cody Rhodes is the definition of "you sold out" and Vince will punish him with a mid-card run
-Multiple botches in the Rhodes/Rollins match
-Stone Cold match very predictable but happy that he most likely got the massive $10M+ payday he wanted

[ChristmasFnatic]

It was Cody’s AEW theme, Cody owns his own theme.

Oh ok. Thanks.

If I was still a kid, I would really be excited for Omos vs Bobby. Reminds me of my excitement for Taker vs Gonzales.

[Roldz]

Not sure who's unifying this **** tonight.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Taker said Roman. Most fans online and in the crowd(on KickOff) says Roman.

Maybe Vince will try to do an unexpected win.
