The bigger problem here is that with say Daniel Bryan, it was the guys in the back running the show who made the Batista choice. Those same people were there every night to see him get shit on and Bryan as over as you get. This time all of the people in the back know that this is the wrong call, but are being told by people who will likely never visit a non-Wrestlemania show, who will likely not see any of the shitting on everything, to carry on anyway.
So I reckon this all falls onto The Rick. Will the fans at shows fully shit on him? If so that's an impressive effort. If they do, again, is he big headed enough to believe it's fine I'll turn them back. Or would he actually listen and do the right thing? Given that he needs the match to earn $30m, I bet we're in for a Mania shit show.
