I can't say any of those things about Roman Reigns.

Has it leaked or something that he is lazy?

Naw. He just hits every bullet point that makes the IWC hate a wrestler. Tall and muscular, check. Didn't wrestle on the indys, check. Poor mic skills, check. Perceived to be handed opportunities that others deserve more, check. Same 5 moves in every match, check.

I'm sure in real life he's a nice guy and hard working. And what's he gonna do, turn down being pushed to the moon? It stands out more in WWE, but even on the indys guys with great bodies get more opportunities. I seent it first hand.

Hmmm. It makes sense. It is a sort of scorecard that the dude cannot control. I gotcha. IWC, though, has to recognize that none of that is new, though. There are always dudes that come in that way.

What I think is funny is that the IWC believes that if you go about it through the indies and do it "the right way," you should earn a right to win/push. But there is no win here. It is scripted. It is a play. An act. With just a hint of realism to create a facade for the truth, which is, it is not a sport, but sports entertainment. I hear the IWC, though. I remember back in the day clamoring for dudes to get a push who never got it.

Too be fair, Cena has been around much longer than Reigns, doubt Reigns will ever reach his level but too soon to tell.

I like reigns, hes the only one of the new era i think is ok

Couldnt stand ambrose at first, but he's slowly growing on me. I just hate ppl who wrestle with jeans lol

WWE is really corny now, but I still enjoy watching from time to time, it brings back good memories.

Wrestlemania will be the first PPV Ive watched for yearssss.. dating back to me in elementary school

Shane O Mac vs Taker should be the main event

I hate the character John Cena. Not the man John Cena.

He busts his ass for the company which commands respect, but his character has been stale for YEARS now.

Yup and Reigns has been able to become stale in a year and a half to two. Its pretty easy to hate the guy, no matter how hard he works for his spot.

Not always. Undertaker vs HHH back at WM28 was a few matches before the main event.
I did see a rumor though that HHH might interfere somehow and help Shane win so that Vince will be out and then could go on to challenge Shane for control of Raw after that.

Saw another one saying Cena costs Taker the match to set up their match at SummerSlam or even WM33.

Reigns and Cena spent basically the same amount of time in the "Indies."

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out

sometimes, but during WM, the title most of the time is the main event. unless Cena is fighting

however, here i go again thinking Vinnie is gonna be smart...i don't think the title match will go last, because Reigns will get booed out of the building. but, can a 40+ year old Shane and 50 year old Taker deliver ME material?

say Reigns / HHH goes on sometime during 2nd hour, Reigns wins and he gets booed out of the building. then Shane / Taker botch the f**k out of their match, this WM will be a disaster. there's really no win here for Vinnie.

hopefully Ambrose / Lesnar delivers, and Ambrose finally gets the huge push that most of us want to see, and we finally go into a new era.

I think closing the show with either match is fine. I don't think Reigns will get booed out of the building if he wins. The fans were behind 100% when he won the title on raw and Dallas isn't a "smarky" place.

I think Shane vs Taker will be a great match with a lot of drama and storytelling in it.

There's a lot of good matches booked for it. Some people are just mad that a big muscular guy will most likely win the title. He's paid his dues in WWE just as much as anyone else.
