It's funny that "Reigns beats Brock at Mania" has been more or less set in stone for almost a full year but they don't appear to have a plan for after Reigns is actually champ.

Dave's speculating that Cena/Rusev at Mania could be an I Quit match :smith:

gently caress, I hope he's wrong. I know Cena's going to win, and that's fine, but please no more Cena matches with that stip.

Well don't worry too much, he really was only speculating (like you said). He said it was something that would make sense given the build, not that he heard it from any sources or that it was even really likely.

I just hope it's the modified I Quit match I suggested for Rusev/Swagger at SummerSlam where to win, Cena or Rusev must make the other say that America or Russia, respectively, is the best.

It feels sometimes that the WWE is Vince's personal fanfiction with the guy getting the biggest push being his Mary Sue.
Cena is getting too old and broken to play with, Vince needs a new self-insert.


Also I re-watched the Shield documentary on the Network, its pretty hilarious how everyone is falling over themselves complimenting Reigns. Ambrose and Rollins eh, they're ok, but REIGNS. Wow. Dude is THE NEXT BIG THING. He has IT.

A novel idea would be for Rusev to continue his streak rather than be fed to the all consuming Cena regardless of the stip.

I can't help but read a good bit of frustration with his booking in that promo. Also lol @ Tom saying that Dean won by DQ



Also it is completely fine for Rusev to have his streak broken by Cena at mania, they just need to not do that thing they always do with heels once Cena has vanquished them and that's drop them down the card like a stone and stop giving them poo poo to do.

However, you realize that if they do that, then the only one left to beat him is Reigns.

I would rather take the Cena loss. Just make it work like Cena/Umaga

In theory a Cena/Rusev I Quit match makes a lot of sense. In execution, however, it would be the typical WWE I Quit match where Rusev punches Cena once and then immediately runs over to grab a mic, then asks Cena if he quits, Cena goes,"no :geno:" and then they repeat that for 25 minutes. Then Cena wins.

Well he can't, because that's a submission (he's already been defeated by Roman Reigns, he just hasn't been pinned or submitted yet) but that's not the issue my post is making - I'm saying that WWE's I Quit matches are generally terrible because they destroy the flow of the match with the way they halt every 5 seconds to ask whether the guy quits yet or not. Same problem they have with Last Man Standing matches, where every move is considered a potential 10 count.

An I quit match would be terrible. Not only is at an automatic LOL CENA WINZ, but actually hurts Rusev more than taking a pinball. This is, unless Cena literally is rolling over him with an eighteen wheeler.

Also Roman Reigns sucks and has the gas tank of an RC car.

Easy answer for I Quit match: Rusev passes out (Mirroring Cena passing out at Fast lane) and can't say I quit and therefore didn't really lose. Plus it sets up a neat story beat where Cena echoes Rusevs victories back on him oh crap why am I fantasy booking arrrgh....

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Or better yet, Rusev beats Cena clean in a match without any silly stipulations, and then becomes Hoss Supreme.

But that's crazy talk. Rapadoo will clearly prevail in the Bay Area.

It's a shame too, because the 1999 Royal Rumble "I Quit" match is so good because The Rock and Mankind used those pauses to just ceaselessly trash-talk each other. If you can get past the barrage of unprotected chairshots at the end, it's a really entertaining match.

With them scripting everything now, I doubt they'd let any of their wrestlers get away with that.

Because you know ways to get out of this feud with both dudes looking good. there are a lot of ways, but you know the WWE'll do it in a way to gently caress it all up, even though the WWE has done it right in the past.

Random note, we love a good underdog. If Ziggler won against Bryan, wouldn't that be the underdoggier of the two underdogs winning, and in a way could be kind of cool? Though I do think Bryan should win, and this could make Ziggy look good anyway.

I'm actually looking forward to that match quite a bit, if that's what they're going with.

Cena got bigger boos at WM in 2006 than Reigns will probably get, and they stuck with him. Without the threat of something like WCW I don't think they are going to waver from "their guy" unless things become absolutely dire.
