Roman Reigns is the new golden boy in wrestling. He gets more main-events, more title-shots, and basically is everything people say Superman is to an even greater degree.
He'd a solid wrestler, but he's surrounded by guys with (sometimes) buckets more talent and is regularly beating them.
It will be fun to see how the Feminazi SJW's respond to this movie. If it Bombs it will be because of EVIL SEXIST WHITE MALES!
And if it does good, It will probably be They Gave IN TO EVIL SEXIST WHITE MALES!
Oh Lol Fest ether way I am sure.

Can't speak for others, but as long as the movie is good, the character is written properly, and it fits smoothly within the wider MCU without taking a giant dump on what's already been established, I'll be happy. And the Russo bros have a good track record.

Shane McMahon is a fantastic performer, which is incredible given that he's a wrestler second, businessman first. He's able to put on great matches and do stunts most wrestlers would balk at.
Oh, I totally respect what he is willing and capable of doing for wrestling. In fact, he's the only McMahon I actually kind of liked when I followed it. But, realistically, when one guy is like 6'2" and kinda pudgy, and the other guy is several inches taller, visibly much more muscular and, based on the wrestling narrative, far more experienced (and should be, quite frankly), things should be very one-sided. Yet, IIRC, Shane could give him a serious fight at various points. Granted, this shit was like 15 years ago, so maybe my memory isn't doing it justice.

Hey, Shane is still wrestling on occasion, and would you believe it, arguably had the match of the night with AJ Styles (arguably the best in the world) at the last Wrestlemania.
But yeah. Roman can go pretty well, but his promos are still dog-shit, and instead of turning him heel, they just keep pushing him. In storyline he flat-out tried to murder a guy, and they still pushed him as the good guy.
Yeah I don't follow WWE too closely these days, but Roman is definitely way overpushed relative to his actual ability and could stand to be heeled up to match his actions. Though that isn't anything new, and even plagued some beloved legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin, who could stunner an old woman (because she politely turned down a beer) and still be played off as a roguish face lol.
I remember a brief period where Stone Cold supposedly went soft, and was buddying up with people like Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon, even playing guitar and giving people hugs, IIRC, lol. That was such a weird story line.

Yep. I personally kind of fell off from it when they got to the point where they were even cutting to the crowd so as not to show chair shots as they were happening (before that, they used to just do it with the replays where they freeze frame it before impact IIRC, but you still heard the sound). I have no idea how much/little they show nowadays though.

Chair shots are still allowed (and they do show them), you just can't strike the head with them due to their big push after the Chris Benoit thing. The PG era, as it's known, did cut down on a lot of things that people liked, but luckily there are enough talented wrestlers to have really good matches. And of course, there are still no-dq matches where people go through tables and even dropped on tacks. They're just more rare than before.
So Marvel Studios skipped SDCC, essentially? I thought that was where we would get a glimpse of CM; if not a full trailer, just a sneak peek montage. Where could they debut the first trailer, then? Or are they waiting for the Shazam Comic Con trailer hype to die down, first?
