People can say the matches/outcomes whatever are 'scripted'....they still put themselves on the line in that ring, risking injury & all, competed outdoors in the cold basically although the Sunday show had warmer temperatures....not to mention the stories behind the matches & performers, that's also a big part of it as well.

@moviesrus1673 23 күн бұрын

I remember in 2015 when after his dad passed and they were doing the Tag Team Tournament in NXT in honor of Dusty. Cody spoke and I think it was the first time I had ever heard him speak out of character and just as himself. He was very emotional and I immediately connected with him because it was so genuine and real. I think he's the perfect champion for the WWE at this time for that very reason. You can tell how proud he is to have reached this point and getting a chance to represent the company as its champion.

WWE was always a big part of my childhood especially the video games when people would play together at fight each other during the later matches or money in the bank. Also the games from 07-09 introduced to amazing rock bands from the video game and as a 30 yr old man who has never watched a match live I want to see one when they come to Madisson square garden and hopefully get a look at edge as he was always my favorite with his sphere move and amazing theme song intro that pumos me up during gym sessions.
