Stellaboz Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Something else. American Badass? There's no need to go back to it unless he utterly destroys Cena for an amazing crowd reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cena kicks off WM, calls out taker before announcing he'll be sitting in the front row as a fan. Goes to step out the ring...GONG...I AM AN AMERICAN BADASS.....crowd pops like f**k, taker flies down on the bike, gets in and starts throwing haymakers. They have a decent 12 minute match that Cena wins. Cena leaves to let taker get the "thank you taker" chants. Taker gives a wee speech and leaves. Everyone is pumped up and off we go. Or something else No. Just no. American Badass Taker should never be seen again. Plus he's been in a WWE ring this year as the same Taker he's portrayed since he got rid of the American Badass shit.

The Badass thing though... lots of people seem to think they'll go for that, and I guess it'd be fun to see. But it just doesn't make sense. It's wrestling though, and that's just the way of it much of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved American bad ass and quite frankly I'm just a bit sick of the undertaker gimmick. I think that character is much closer to who Mark Calaway is and just have a feeling he might prefer to go out as himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think they haven't announced it because to be quite honest, they don't need to. The card is stacked to f**k with or without Cena vs Taker (and it will happen). Anyone who is buying Mania is doing so for Rousey, Bryan, AJ vs Nakamura......Cena vs Taker isn't going to impact the buys that much. Had it been two years ago when they were decimated with injuries, that would have been a whole different ball game but this card is jam packed with talent already.

TheGoon Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The folk questioning whether he’ll be there have been worked into a shoot something awful. He’ll be there. I’d take him coming out to Rollin, eyeing up Cena and never being seen again mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Tbf for all people were decrying how predictable the main event and other aspects of the card were going to be they’ve managed to leave everyone guessing over one of the casual attractions.

Aye, for all Mania being the ultimate capture-all event for casual fans, hardcore fans and everything in between, they've got people scratching/banging their headsAmerican Badass can still bolt. Don't care if that minter Kid Rock is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think it's a smarky thing to hate the American Bad Ass gimmick. Seems to be the latest cool thing that they are grasping onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 American badass was decent imo. It was no dead man obviously but it wasn’t horrendous. His only bad trait was refusal to put others over which always upsets the smarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Just rewatched the 31 match between Reigns and Lesnar...damn that was good. If we get one even just as good as that one was, I'll be very happy. It's almost certain Reigns goes over, but as long as it's a decent story told and not just one spear and he wins, then all good.

DA Baracus Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Folk posting on a wrestling section of a Scottish football forum actually using the term 'smarks' and thinking it doesn't apply to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It's weird that terms like "mark" and "smark" still get thrown around in a derogatory manner. It's fair dropped off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'd say we're all marks, but I always saw smarks as something else entirely, the sort of VL keyboard warriors that you'll get in communities of any group of fans. The ones that use their own "knowledge" to look down on anyone. Plenty on this site in football too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
