the fact that the moment when Bubba was In the ring with the street profits whole stadium 3-2-1 GET THE TABLEEEE is up there with the other best moments of this WrestleMania shows how EPIC that was

[@richardschulz2371]

This is example why Philadelphia is greatest wrestling city in world. Also 40 greatest WM ever.

[@michaelgervin2017]

​@richardschulz2371 I'm from Georgia. Even I got to admit that any shows in front of the Philadelphia crowd are always the most fun.

I was watching wrestlemania both nights with my granny shes 84, when bubba came out in a ref shirt on i personally said "did i miss a segement or something what bubbas old ass doing out here" my grandma on other hand "oh ya i love him"... "granny u know bubba?" "I remember him" "granny u dont know who that is" "He use to be with the black guy and do tables" Me: 😮😮😮😮😮

I totally agree with Bully on The Rock in Memphis. He could of got the biggest pop and the biggest boos all over in the same segment! That one confused me too! Memphis ain't buying that Papatui men's care crap anyway!

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Bubba Ray's analogy about sex and wrestling is true and hilarious.

A good chunk of that of that Philly audience were out on bail, so Mark Henry was right.

[@whatjimcornetteshouldhavesaid]

My favorite part was when Dave acknowledged Roman as his Tribal Chief

[@marvinleong5902]

Did he acknowledge the final boss though after all of the thrash talks in his show 😂😂😂

i think he generally is but idk what that hate for kairi was. kinda came out of nowhere lol

[@williamjoback1436]

Taz did this amazing promo in ECW when "the rock" debuted in WWF. He loosely said he paid his dues and wrestlers like "the rock" 3rd generation whatever. Got handed the wrestling job because their mother, father, grandpa, grandma, brother, sister, cousin, dog, and cat were in the wrestling business. lol

[@user-qw7fg1qi6w]

It's WrestleMania 40 weekend

[@theraVen27]

I thought Dave was joking when he said he was putting on weight… holy wow

[@R_ziggz]

Where's nic nemeth 😢😢🥺🥺

[@Rodney147]

Love the Le Greca chants of Fuck the rock. I'd tell him this on Twitter but he blocked me cause of a 3 letter guy lol... N well tommy told me don't ask 2 be unblocked... Rock needed the E to gratify his ego need and probably thought with all the BS going on, i'm gonna come in and be superman and pivot everything and make the world forget "CERTAIN" things... Congrats to the rock on maybe putting eye's on the product however you were never needed and that picture of you holding the Mama Rohdes belt while been chokeslamed needs to be immortalised, Stay gorne from Active wrestling.

[@American_Nightmare]

I heard that Mark Henry said Kairi Sane didn't respect the business.

Maybe doesn't respect how it's done in the west, it's done differently in Japan.

Or Sabu

[@SamuelPagan-gv2du]

@@bulletpoint728 you are damn right

[@springer90]

Maybe because Tommy Dreamer was planning on killing Paul Heyman at WM 17.

Besides the Shane Douglas NWA Belt promo in 1994, Sabu helped change wrestling.

Cody will be the royal family of wwe and wcw , to be a part owner . And then brandy rhodes will help to be a wrestler or owner with cody as the royal family . But first brandy rhodes must face stephanie mcmahon in a match , because brandy rhodes was not hired in wwe , that was unfair , because she was in aew and then rejected in wwe. paul heyman will help cody as his wise man to have ecw pay per views and announce commercials and pay per view events at the level of paul heyman , but in cody rhodes style . cm punk will be the commentator when he retires in wcw , and be in creative roles . The torch was passed to cody rhodes by undertaker at wrestlemania , it does not matter if john cena does not pass the torch, the miz said the torch was passed to cody by the leader of locker room undertaker. Its time paul heyman to stop kissing the ass of roman reings , you can have your job back to be a owner of your own wrestling wcw with cody , to make it your vision and cody's vision to pass on the legacy of dustin rhodes , their will be ecw and wcw pay per views and vision of creative to be like attitude era to be the way you want to be , this willl be the wwe and aew competion and then when wcw , the nxt timeslot has enough superstars made , then there will be pay per views with wwe . The wwe draft will be ended , there will be some people taking off , while the rest are in both raw and smackdown , so then everyone can fight each other eventually and the championships can be unified to be one of each championship to bring prestige . The interviews done outside of wwe will remain in character so it will be kayfabe , the bad guys and good guys will convince everyone , by remaining in character in public. The next wrestlemania will have more superstars made because of nxt logo being destroyed , by the sledge hammer of hhh, cody rhodes and the rock will destroy the nxt logo and bring out the wcw logo . Then paul heyman will be the wise man for cody rhodes , to help cody to finsih the story and legacy of dustin rhodes by being the owners of wcw . The after show commentators will be old wrestlers and regular commentary workers , it will be like espn studio style shows . there will be the top ten of the week and everything espn commentators do on their shows , to show the fans or funny moments , and talk history of wrestling , talking about the current events going on , and debating with the commentators like charles barkley and shaq , there will be guests that are athletes to show their skills. I want it done because I said. cody rhodes will court paul heyman , by telling him he can be his old self like he was in ecw , he does not have to kiss roman reings ass and make a fool of himself , he can be paul e dangerously again and help cody to make nxt be destroyed and make wcw , then be the owners of a wrestling business like ecw days , so the skills of paul heyman can be utilized , instead of being chained nd caged and asleep . Then cody will hand paul heyman a video package of paul heymn talking about how dusty rhodes helped him , by letting him learn the business , and then paul heyman invited dusty rhodes to ecw , and now cody can say that he is the better royal family to be with as a wise man , because now he can be a wrestling promoter or wrestling god again , by having your own wrestling company to be your way , and to help cody to make wcw to be the vision of cody and dusty rhodes and vision of paul heyman , paul heyman will not just be a wise man he will be a wrestling god , then cody rhodes will gift paul heyman a picture of paul heyman painting and a bronze statue , so paul heyman will leave roman reings and work with cody as partners 50 50 , and paul heyman will have his dignity and self preservation back . Cody will gift paul heyman a vidoe package of roman reings making paul heyman look like an idiot , and then have moments of greatness of being a wrestling god in ecw , then paul heyman will realize he is being treated like trash and is not being allowed to be himself to have his talents of wrestling god promoter and creative put to good use . Then paul heyman will leave roman reings and be paul e dangerously and be on commentary in wcw and be an owner. Simply put - courting is the time before a relationship starts when the couple gets to know one another, exchange gifts and generally keep a respectful distance with little-to-no intimacy. Historically, courting has been a male pursuing a female, but it's 2019, thankfully anybody can court anybody these days. Cody will court paul heyman to gradually chip away at paul to convince and persuade paul heyman that he is being treated like trash and could be great again like his old days of ecw and use his talents to help make himself a god in wrestling , instead of a joke with roman reings , you will make paul heyman cry . I watched some of wrestlemania because i did not pay for it , and I cried when cody won because I know the story and its real . The story of that cody tells paul heyman will be real and make paul heyman cry

[@TelvinKipapa]

Those parents are stupid to party with wrestlers than watch the kids!

[@chriscastro8748]

Then wcw will have the vince mcmahon shares investment and shane mcmahon to make cable streaming service owner and cody rhodes, there is more then one royal family , cody will be the better royal family then the rock and roman bloodline , and better then hhh and stephanie because they are a dissapointment to vince mcmahon. The rock is a dissapointment , because the rock has to keep making more movies instead of being in wwe, because the rock needs to be more famous then ever before reaching every single demographic race religion species of humans and aliens , everyone must know the rock in the world , then the rock will bring his hollywood worshipers of false idol fans to wwe to watch him in pay per views , promoting in interviews like he is a good guy and not being kayfabe to stay in character , it takes away the magic when you show behind the curtain. You have to be kayfabe like the news , democrats and republicans and politicians that pretend to be a character and do not tell the people that they are on the same side the illuminati is their masters that give the orders on what to do and say and how to act . like the hollywood and music industry celeberties , they are told what to do by illuminati too , because they are in illuminati and make more money and have more fame. paul heyman was not suppose to say vulgar line at hall of fame , because a curse word would of sufficed , the vulgar line was not neccessary . paul heyman was an ecw awesome guy that knew how to make the soul of the wrestler to make the magic , and then paul heyman goes to be with roman reings and preys to him and acts like he is so scared of him , and loves and is sad , and cries , and acts like he worships roman reings , instead of being an awesome ecw guy. So cody has to wake up paul heyman to tell paul to help cody to run wcw , by taking over the nxt timeslot , because hhh is fired and so is his precious nxt , now paul heyman can be an awesome wcw guy. The ecw was too much , because its dangerous and the wrestlers bodies and brains are damaged to much , its not worth it. So cody will wake up paul heyman to be his right hand man to help cody run wcw , because wwe owns the wcw library pay per views of dusty rhodes . And nxt wrestlers training can go to be on youtube . Or if they are good enough they can be in wcw , to have the nxt timeslot to get lots of viewers like wcw. The nxt is percieved as training wrestlers and I would never watch., and barron corbin and mandy rose went there to die spiritually because they were wwe trash. Insted wcw wil takeover nxt , to destroy the nxt logo , the rock and cody rhodes willl destroy the nxt logo and cody rhodes will destroy the throne of hhh and say that your father in law is dissapointed in you and say to stephanie your father is disssapointed in you , for not being the owners of wwe like he was to work until your old , so since your only have one foot in and one foot out , you can leave , that is what you wanted , just go home. Then the aew and wwe trash can be revitilized to be the way they want to be like attitude era , and they will be kayfabe , by not breaking character to make the magic and have more emotional investment. In the future
