Cena and HBK could put on a great match, I got the chance to see Cena and Shawn wrestle it was a great match.

Cena is underrated. He delivers in a big match.

He will never carry shitbag opponents, but I dont care, because i'm not going out of my way to watch Kane matches anyway. That one Kane match (I forget which PPV it was) was beyond bad. Worst MOTY contender bad.

Was it the Orton one from the PPV this year?

lol, that too, but I was talking about Cena/Kane, during the whole Eve/Zack Ryder thing. Awful stuff.

You and I have the same opinion of Cena I think. I just find it crazy that the guy throws up a few legitimate drizzling shits every year, but also throws in some MotY contenders as well.

I guess it is similar to how you see the Undertaker.

The Kane match at the Royal Rumble was awful...so was the match v. Johnny Ace. But then has the Lesnar match and the Rock match which were very good.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think Cena/Rock is a legitimate MOTY contender, but I think i'm the only one who thinks that.

It won't make my Top 5 by the end of the year after I catch up on stuff, but I really liked it.

The Rock recently posted on his Twitter account, claiming to have sustained an injury to his right hamstring during the WrestleMania 28 main event against John Cena.

I think the entire WWE product will end up like Saturday Morning Slam within a year.

Did you watch this?

I checked it out. They did a personality profile of Brodus Clay, and then had a Kofi Kingston vs Heath Slater match which was worked totally "G" with no punching, no blows to the head, and no chokes/neck maneuvers. Kid friendly action.

Also, for some reason, a bunch of stuff in the crowd was digitized out (signs, tshirts). Anything remotely offensive I guess.

That's a real test for these guys to work this way, I will record this and check it out every week.

 

[JimLeavy59]

I was about to hang myself watching that crap just a shitload of arm drags. I'll DVR it just to see how bad it is every week.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

They also had Daniel Bryan give the "dont try this at home" safety warning.

Pretty silly to portray fake fighting as something non violent. Seems like a lot of effort for a message you will never get across.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The WWE should just go full blown CHIKARA. It wants to be kid friendly...make the whole fucking thing a cartoon.

They're not that creative.

1. I know CM Punk is meant to be the whining Champion and is just about to turn heel

2. I know Cena is meant to be the goodest of the good and that what he is meant to say is righter than right

But everything that Cena said was wrong and it made me hate him. To say that Punk's reign means nothing until he beats him is BS. I think that Cena saying that a World Champion is not the best is wrong. No matter who Punk has beaten he has beaten the #1 contenders the WWE have given him time after time, so Cena is saying the WWE isn't doing its job and he is saying that Punk is what the IWC has been and that Punk is a mid card champion, or a mid carder playing main eventer.

Cena came off as being so full if himself and even though Punk had beaten him several times, Cena seems to have concur fly forgotten that. Cena sucks more than ever after that "retelling" of history.

Cena has always kinda been that Hogan type babyface who does a lot of shitty things and is a total self-serving jackass yet people are suppose to cheer him.

lol, there is no reason for an adult male to cheer him. He's such a whiny, annoying, overdramatic and BORING character.

They stopped caring about this for years though, they sold their soul and go strictly for the kids. Sucks for the rest of us, but they must be making enough $$$ and keeping investors happy to stick with it.

 

[JimLeavy59]

I think the FBI should raid the house of any grown male wearing a John Cena shirt.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The direction towards kids is the direction Vince McMahon goes anytime he has no real competition. It is a safe zone with consistent numbers and high merch sales and base hit advertising sales. Back during the cartoon character era of the early-90's is another example of this. But, characters then were much more cartoony. Today, they are more or less just bland. I'd rather watch a Mountie v. KoKo B. Ware match than a Heath Slater v. Ryback match...I mean, at the end, I know I'm getting a stun gun to KoKo B. Ware and Frankie is gonna fly around. That brings the lulz.

That just sounds terrible. Though I wonder if Linda loses the senate race yet again, how that will impact this "kid friendly" direction they are taking things.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Linda ain't winning anything...she, as an individual, and the company she is/was apart of, has too many holes for the opposing party to poke through and ultimately create, and the GenPop will eat it up, despite the often corny points the opposing party makes.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Vince changes direction every few years. One day he'll wake up, see a bad buyrate or decide that ratings are too low, and PG will be history.
