Cena saying "dead man walking" last night and the focus he put on it leads me to think it'll be the American bad ass Taker we get on Sunday.

Hopefully. The Deadman gimmick was cringing by the mid 90s.

Slightly off topic but I've been rewatching Attitude Era Raws & Smackdowns and it's awful how they've overdubbed all of Taker's American BadAss Entrances with that terrible "Your Gona Pay" theme he used in 2002 / 03

Why did they do this?

I think it’s fair to say, based on the longevity, the popularity and the reactions the man receives year in and year out, your viewpoint is very much in the minority. The Deadman gimmick should be a toe curler, but it isn’t IMO because Mark Calaway pulls it off with such natural panache and charisma.

I think you do a massive disservice to the mans talents by so glibly stating that his work has been cringeworthy for the best part of twenty years.

He had both. American Badass by Kid Rock and then Rollin' by Limp Bizkit.

Bring back the American Badass!

Entrance at 4 mins. Doesn't take as long either!

They changed the tune fairly quickly as Kid Rocks one had lyrics like "never gay no way, I don't play with ass" and "I am American bad ass, watch me kick, you can roll with rock or you can suck my dick, I'm a porno flick, I'm like amazing grace, I'm gonna **** some hoe's after I rock this place".

Per PWInsider. Rusev asked for his RELEASE a couple of weeks ago. WWE added him to the US Title match as a bargaining plea.

Looks like Seth's waving with a weird looking hand

So with Elias just saying he's performing, does that mean we'll get a surprise return/debut?

Either the rock or Double J perhaps will interfere and do the old guitar smash spot.

Hadn't realized that Mania is inside again this year. Awesome. First look at the stage and (shorter) ramp.

Be cool

Atm Strowman partner revel could be the OMG moment of this mania (like hardyz last year). Vince thinks we all don't knw taker will appear and that could be the OMG moment

I've read the Elias segment could be in jeprody as the rock is pretty busy with Rampage coming out next week

Plus I don't think The Rock's insurance company would want him involved in any physical shenanigans....

i'd actually like that but take that idea and run it through the Vince-O-Matic and you got Braun getting these hands

which tbh I could surprise myself by marking out for it even if long term I might not want it.
