    Simon, Please do Mania X! Quite fitting given it has the awesome Razor/Shawn ladder match, but also that opener with Bret and Owen, plus - Savage is on there! It was my first PPV as a child and I still love it now. Its my mission to see it!

    Would love to see a future retro Ups and Downs for WrestleMania X. This is a great refresher of the time as I remember ordering the show and really popped for when Jericho made his return.

    Punk and Rock was so disappointing to me. That "Your arms are too short to box with God" promo was money, and they could've done great stuff together. So of course WWE waters it down with all the gimmicky Shield stuff and presents Punk like a fluke champion rather than a legitimate rival.

  • @AimlessShenanigans
    @AimlessShenanigans 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So Punk is getting his wrestlemania main event right, it may not be the entire purpose but it is one of the things that has to happen
    Rock teased that he and Cody would wrestle down the line. Well I saw this thumbnail and my brain went, "Oh my god what if rock takes the title off cody, then rock drops the title to punk at the royal rumble 12 years after punk dropped the title to him to set up twice in a lifetime that SHOULD have been Punk's main event all along"
    The rumble main events, MJF debuts as #30 in the rumble main event later and wins. That solidifies the plans for 1st mania main event after 20 years vs 1st mania main event in like a few months
    I kinda want them to go the extra mile and have the shortest traditional royal rumble match - before #30 comes out, the remaining people in the ring eliminate themselves simultaneously, meaning #30 wins without even having to step into the ring, and who better than Max
