Welcome to the road to Wrestlemania. This is one of my favorite times of year. I know we only have a few matches that are on the agenda, it’s the most wonderful time of the year for those of us who just love mania.
Now I know I have not been on here in a long time. As usual I have been biding my time waiting to see what, if anything, new is going to happen to change the landscape.
I have two things that I will discuss today; one small and the other big. The small thing is that we can all see that there is a big star on the horizon; someone that the WWE is putting 100% of their resources behind. Much to the chagrin of most of the WWE fans, it is not Daniel Bryan. Bryan is by far the most popular wrestler in all of wrestling. The fans love to see him and there is always the defining cheer of “YES”. But this is not the person the front office is behind. At least not right now. That man is Roman Reigns. Reigns has been on a roll lately. So much so that it looks like the destruction of the Shield is just a matter of time. Reigns is from a wrestling family. He is the son of Sika Anoa’I, and the brother of Rosey. He is the cousins of The Rock, the Usos, Rikishi, and Yokozuna. So he is built for this. And I have always said that among the members of the Shield, he is the only one that looked, to me, like an actual wrestler. With the way WWE has been show casing him lately, I will not be surprised to see him with a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship this year.
Number two is an even bigger issue. This is something I have been noticing and I wanted to put it out there, and maybe putting it out in the world, I will get the answer for it. At Royal Rumble Dave Batista won, and therefore will get the guaranteed World Title shot at Mania. Since that time, the fans have turned on Batista. Now I guess I understand. The reason could be that the fans are upset that Bryan is not getting his shot at Mania. But if that is the case, I think the fans have got to get over that. It does not look like that is what is on the horizon. It looks like Bryan will be fighting Triple H. This seems like a great thing for him. He can take out the frustrations on Triple H, and the fans can rejoice from watching this. Also for all of you Bryan marks, you have to know that Bryan will get a shot at, and maybe even a long run with, the World title. I think you all have to get over it. Honestly Bryan not having the title gets him so over, that he could go off of this for the next year. But you all have to know, when these baby faces get the title, that’s when everything changes. They are not quite as compelling as they were before the run to the title. It is easier to chase the title than to be the one being chased. But I am getting off topic. I am wondering why now are people turning against Batista. If it is not because of Bryan, then what is it? Could it be that fans only want to see Batista as a heel anyway? Could it be that he came back and is too soon in the main event? Could it be that him beating Alberto Del Rio unmercifully has made him an unlikable guy? I cannot tell, but I am sure we will find out soon.
I know we have about a month till Mania. I see a lot of things about to happen. I hope that WWE will going ahead and have Batista embrace being a heel. He was very successful at it in 2010 before he left. I would love to see a World Title match between Randy Orton(the champion) and Bryan, on RAW. And right at the end, before Bryan is going to win, Batista comes out, and destroys him. And his reason is because he is the next guy in line, and he will beat Orton. No one else can. That would put him over as a heel. Just some of my thoughts. I will give you more as we get to Mania.
AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
