0:00.0 | One constant among wrestling discourse is whether or not WWE should have had holy rolls, |
0:04.9 | toppled Roman Reigns to become the new undisputed WWE Universal Champion. WWE has never been |
0:10.4 | afraid to go against what it's fanbase wants. And in fairness to the market leader, there have |
0:15.0 | been times when those seemingly stubborn decisions have actually turned out to be correct. |
0:19.2 | With that in mind then, I am Andrew from what called your wrestling and here are 10 times WWE |
0:23.6 | ignored the fans and got it right. 10. The Undertaker and John Cena keep it short and |
0:29.7 | sweet baby. Anticipation was high for an all-time classic between two of the biggest names in |
0:34.6 | history, WrestleMania 34, with us all expecting a lengthy war between John Cena and the Undertaker. |
0:40.6 | In fact, take yourself to Chris Van Vliet early this year that he initially believed the contest |

1:16.8 | And let's be honest, the only one that was any good was the Boneyard encounter against AJ Styles. |
1:21.6 | 9. Hollywood Hulk Hogan's WrestleMania 18 Opponent |
1:25.2 | It's not so much that fans were against seeing the Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18, |
1:30.0 | but more than the majority of fans were hoping to see Stone Cold Steve Austin be the one to |
1:34.5 | challenge the NWL man. In terms of billing, Hogan vs Austin would have been one of the |
1:38.9 | biggest matches in history, featuring a pair of talent who many of you as the two biggest names |
