I don’t think the Rock thinks wrestling is above him. He always seems humble when referring to his opportunities and accomplishments. The dude is just busy, it happens. I think he might return next year. If he does, I’ll tune in. Also, in terms of acting of course he’s not a Robert De Niro, but The Rock is up there and he’s one of the most important Hollywood actors at the moment. Saying otherwise, is just ignorant. You have to remember, he went from WWE to Hollywood. A lot of people have a hard time transitioning. Batista is a great example of someone who’s also successful. I think another thing that comes to mind is that these guys are under contracts with these films and have to prevent injuries, so that might come into play.

Is this you trying to start your own WM38 thread with blackjack and hookers?

I had no interest in night one minus Cody. Night two was ok. Definitely not one for the ages though. Three nights in a row is way too much WWE for me. Actually so is two, so I shut off Raw after Cody’s promo. Based on the reports it looks like I did the right thing.
I did see Ezekiel’s debut on Twitter though. That’s a straight shooter with world champion written all over it…who knew Elias not only had a younger brother, but one with such great fashion sense. That outfit and gimmick might just be the perfect act to take down Roman and be the new Swiss-cheese-resembling face of WWE. Vince’s creative genius strikes again!

Did you just use the word "humble" and "Rock" in the same sentence? He comes across as the fakest, most arrogant, superficial, out of touch "celebrity" out there. Sure, he came from humble backgrounds, so do the vast majority of people. Absolutely nothing about the Rock seems remotely sincere, just empty words to a sea of fools who cheer him no matter what he does or doesn't do.

I liked the event as a whole. I personally think it's been the best Mania since 31. I do think Mania should go back to 1 night though.
Highs - Edge vs Styles was great - Edge & Priest being a thing - Logan Paul exceeded my expectations. His camera & crowd work, especially when doing the 3 Amigo's, and Frog Splash were incredible. - Bianca vs Becky was good - Cody Rhodes returning was a huge moment - Cody vs Seth was great - Owens vs Austin was enjoyable on my second watch. A good final chapter for Austin. - Raw Tag Title match was good, Chad Gable is absolutely incredible. - Zayn vs Knoxville was fantastic. Outside of the awkward spots where the Jackass gimmicks didn't work properly, the match was incredibly entertaining. - Pat McAffe is a star. He's such a natural in the ring, and if they continue to have him Wrestle, he'll only get better & better. He was so over with the crowd too. This match with Theory was probably my most enjoyable match from both nights. - Roman wins

Stone Cold having a match was still a shocker. I expected it but I wasn't believing it to happen. That was a sweet match
Cody vs Rollins was great. Miz and Logan Paul was an enjoyable heel team.
Low: Ronda vs Charlotte. This match was just boring

You and I don’t know him personally to say he’s arrogant or insincere. You have to understand that wrestling/acting or anything around entertainment/Hollyweird has a lot of superficial personalities. Many of your favorite idols/celebrities put up a front to sell an image, so you can’t judge The Rock because he’s busy. The Rock paved his way into the acting world, he’s in demand. He can pick and choose what he wants to do. In no shape or form does he owe us a match with Roman. He needs to do a match with Roman because we want him to? For our entertainment? He’s probably getting paid more to do whatever other deals he has. At the end of the day, he has to do whatever pays the bills for him and makes sense business wise. If he chooses to fight Roman, that would be great and if he doesn’t I respect him for that.

I loved WrestleMania. I absolutely hated the card going in and couldn't believe WWE would book such a bad event, and they made me eat my words! It of course had some lows and wasn't perfect but I'd give it a 7.5 or 8/10 for overall entertainment.
The lows:
Roman/Brock was extremely lackluster -- especially considering how well the event seemed to be going until that match. The ending out of no where left me confused as hell. That was probably the worst match that these two have had. When you say its "The Biggest WrestleMania Match Ever," could you at least put some effort into it? Nothing but finishers and only 12 minutes to UNIFY THE WORLD TITLES! This really fell flat.
The Uso's tag match was a letdown, too, but that Boogs injury could've played a big part of that.
Charlotte/Rousey was boring as hell and sloppy.
The New Day tag match was basically worthless and had no business being on a card when we left off a lot of other deserving guys. I think this would've came off better if they just threw these guys into the Andre Battle Royal and then put that match on the PPV with a solid, fan favorite winner.
The highs:
Cody return was electric and honestly a top 5 moment in WM history. And then it was followed by a great wrestling match.
The RAW tag title match ended up being really fun but I thought it started off a little slow.
The entire McAfee/Theory/Vince/Stone Cold part of Night 2 was incredibly done and I don't care at all about how the stunner looked on Vince. Moments like this are what this event is all about.
The Knoxville/Zayn match was soooooo much fun and done really, really well. It might be overall my favorite match on night 2.
Logan Paul was really impressive and might be a better wrestler than Dominik.
Bianca Vs Becky is MOTY material.
Stone Cold Vs Owens was UNREAL to watch. I had butterflies from the video package until the show went off-air. So surreal to see Stone Cold having a real match and this was masterfully done.
The middle:
Omos Vs Bobby is getting a lot of hate but I honestly found it fine. It was just about what I expected and the hot crowd helped get this match over.
Edge Vs AJ was a little underwhelming for me. They didn't get a lot done in 25 minutes and I just expected a bit more. The match was good and I could rewatch it but I just don't think it lived up to the hype.
Drew Vs Corbin honestly wasn't miserable to watch. It was boring but those two have good chemistry.
The women's tag title match was a bit of fun but overall just the eight women going move-to-move.
The RAW tag title post-match angle with Gable Stevenson was very awkward. It was anti-climactic, sort of forced, and he did not have a good presence on camera. It was really weird to watch and its just still sticking out in my mind as I think about the entire show.
Overall, the lows weren't horrible, the middle was more leaning towards good than bad, and the good was GREAT. I think this is definitely the best WrestleMania since 31.

I’m still thinking about the mindset of winning your Wrestlemania match, and then deciding you want to beat the ass of your 76 year old boss who gave you the opportunity, for literally zero reason. Pat is ing wild.

I don’t think it was at 3 hours 16 minutes in real time. Pretty sure the replay has a quicker run time due to not including commercials as part of the run time. I think night one went over 4 hours, and the time on the replay is less than that.

Daddy's Home 1 was a less than 20 second cameo. The second one gave Cena more time, but did not achieve success. Suicide Squad 2 was panned by critics. Vacation Friends was a direct to internet release that lost money. Cena does a voice over in Doolittle. Hardly important. And the movie got crap reviews. Playing With Fire has reviews below See No Evil. (See No Evil has a 7.2 on IMDB vs Playing With Fire's 5.2. In Fairness, See No Evil does not deserve a 7.2) All of Cena's major roles: The Marine, 12 Blocks, and Playing With Fire were produced in whole or in part by WWE. I am not sure what your point is here. Suicide squad 2 literally has 90% on rotten tomatoes The point is that he’s booking parts in huge Hollywood movie franchises and you’re saying he’s slightly above Kane in terms of star power in a movie He isn't actually. That's why I am so confused about your praise. He has landed ZERO major roles. Peacemaker, a minor role in a flop is his biggest role. Even ignoring that all of the "good" reviews on RottenTomatoes still say it is a bad movie.... You want Cena to be good. He isn't. Hence why he has still yet to be anything other than a bit character in a movie.

There are no shortage of WWE stars that I love that I would mock their movie careers. Edge is both a better wrestler and has been in better movies than Cena. His movie career is trash, despite him being one of my all time favorites. Kane is likewise a favorite of mine. Claiming that his bit part in McGruber makes him a Hollywood star is stupid. Cena has yet to have a hit. He never will have a hit. He's a great wrestler but a terrible actor. His best role was in Trainwreck where he was a gay dude pretending to be straight. I haven't seen him in any other movie where I haven't sighed after. I was a Cena fan before he even had a gimmick. But he is one of the worst actors to ever "Grace" Hollywood. No one in the world thinks he is even a competent actor, hence why he gets crap bit parts in bad movies and shows.

I watched fast 9 & suicide squad with Cena, both were good plus they made a killing at the box office.
