Heel Rock >

[Rich Rane]

We got zero clarification on Rock's role on the road to WrestleMania, but damn that was a great promo. So glad I stopped watching Rising Stars for that.

[Dominator83]

Heel Rock is the best one

[BullChit]

Rock is totally playing the Mike Tyson in DX role here right?

The rock has always been a better heal.

He roasted the crowd and had them booing hard. Yet, he still had them chanting his name, and saying his catch phrases. He’s just too damn charismatic.

Yeah, it was like that with Hollywood Rock too. Hell, people cheered him on when he was with The Nation. The marks could boo him to hell, but the casuals will love him. And because he did the right thing by embracing a heel role, the marks still love him.

[prolific passer]

Rock partying like it's 97 when he joined the nation and late 98 to early 99 when he joined the corporation and used to call the fans and Steve Austin trailer park trash. Funny thing is that Austin did end up living in a double wide trailer after his first divorce.

Yeah, I think it's obvious that's what the play is going to be. I hope it's not though. Rock over the last week has been much more enjoyable than any of his other runs in WWE over the last two decades. They're obviously going to have Cody win and build to a Roman/Rock match next year, but I'd rather have a heel Rock face off against a face Roman than what's more likely bound to happen.

Yeah I think you could do that.

Have Rock turn on Roman but then the next few weeks he puts Roman down and takes the bloodline from him. Roman then has to redeem himself over the next year.

It's also possible for the Rock to be face without being Dwayne... So there is that.

That Lyon crowd on SD was one of the greatest of all time. ECW vibes. Raw after Mania in 2013 vibes(ziggler cash in/fandango). CM Punk entrance in Chicago vibes. Can only imagine how Backlash will go.

[Dominator83]

I'm predicting this years Wargames is gonna be the Solo,s Bloodline vs Romans.

Solo/Tonga/Los/Fatu

Vs

Roman/Jimmy/Jey and........ Sami Uso??!

That would be good.

Something tells me another of Haku's sons is coming. Hikuleo's NJPW contract expires in June. He'll join new Bloodline and maybe Jacob joins the old one. Rock interferes and helps the new Bloodline. Then Rock vs Roman at Rumble or WrestleMania.

All those newcomers are probably gonna be in Solos. Romans will be OGs

Quite possible you're correct. I only mention Jacob Fatu joining OG Bloodline because he's not Haku's son, but an actual cousin of Roman and the Usos (and Solo) and would even out the teams if Hikuleo also joins Solo's Bloodline.

Wargames could end up being
Solo/Tama/Tanga/Hikuleo
vs
Roman/Jimmy/Jey/Jacob

Or

Solo/Tama/Tanga/Hikuleo/Jacob
vs
Roman/Jimmy/Jey/Sami/Rock (turns on Roman)

Actually prefer that second one. And just to address the storyline from before, maybe Jimmy comes back first and challenges Solo for Tribal Chief, but the new Bloodline only acknowledges Solo and they beat Jimmy down and is saved by Jey one week. Then Jey recruits Jacob, but with Roman not around, Jacob chooses the new Bloodline. Then Jey recruits Sami. Then Roman comes back and saves the three and introduces Rock as their WarGames partner. There's material here to last through WrestleMania.

It's crazy to think that we're gonna get close to 5 years of quality story telling from the bloodline angle alone.

I'm finishing watching Backlash today and it is **** AMAZING. What a crowd.
