Cena = Bland good guy. Just like Superman. It's way cooler to like Batman over Superman. Batman is infinitely more interesting. Whereas a hundred wrestlers are infinitely more interesting than Cena.

People need to get over their hatred for Reigns. I understand that not everyone is going to like him, but come on.

That's why people hate him. WWE expects everyone to love him. People ain't down with being told who to like.

I've always thought the Cena hate was directed more at his booking rather than the guy himself. It just always seems to be boring and so expected.

That, and the fact that for a large age group, he's the embodiment of the Death of the Attitude Era. If those were your formative years in wrestling, I can easy understand the hate for the guy.



I haven't watched all of last night's Raw, but I enjoyed the hell out of Heyman's opening promo. His ability to feel the crowd and go back to ECW Paul for a couple seconds was great. Absolutely great.

I really hope they find him someone while Brock is on the shelf.

ngl I'd love to see a Sheamus-Barrett tag team. Bring back Drew McIntyre (not necessary but I'd support it). Put Paige in the stable. Name the heel stable the British Isles. They could rule the tag team division.

I still remember that night. Too bad they screwed that up too.

I was thinking. Sticking Reigns in programs with the Big Show and Kane hurts him a lot too. If those two are not gonna retire, they need to move down the card. Permanently.

Supposedly Ryback was egging on the "Same old ****" and "Please retire" chants, which leads me to believe that some of the guys in the back feel the same way.

All Star Superman, Red Son, and several other works say hello. For a character like Superman (Cena) you have to tell the story right. You don't throw a bigger obstacle in their way, they'll just jump over it or run through it.

Instead, you put the obstacle within themselves. Cena and Wyatt could've been brilliant, and for a while it was, but they screwed it up by having him just win. If his character had changed, even slightly, we get a better appreciation for the person and the story.

So.

Apparently WWE pulled Sting from "obscurity".

Vince McMahon says WrestleMania plans came together last minute, and WWE marketing helped pull Sting from 'obscurity' - Cageside Seats

God I hate Vince

This is why I don't pop for Vince or like when the crowd "bows" to him when he makes an appearance.

I don't understand why Vince and WWE have to be sore winners in this whole thing. Move on. Let it go. Luckily for you the merge happened, because people fail to realize Vince didn't go to Ted Turner and mercifully buy him out of the wrestling business. Give me a break. Turner could've started three more promotions at the same time if he wanted.

With that said, sting was THE top guy, at least baby face, of the only company/era to ever put Vince against the sword. 84 straight weeks WCW led the ratings battle, and even with a split market audience, they sold over 750,000 PPV buys at Starcade '97, in which Sting drew the main event.

To the kayfabe talking points, and the fans who non kayfabe believe it, Sting signing with WWE wasn't "finally getting to the big time" and "finally getting to the big stage". Sting was drawing money And putting WWE buy-rates to shame before half the current roster ever bought their first pair of boots.

I was one who was pleading (to no one / with myself) that Sting would be on the video game, Do Axxess, whatever, and be done. This is why I never wanted him to wrestle for Vince. He goes under to Triple H for absolutely no reason, and 24 hours later has to read "YEEAAH, We made Steve a star, pal. He was nothing before his one match here."
**** off Vince.

Also I hope somehow this was the worst retiring booking for an announcer ever. If I have hear Michael Cole say "DOUBLE u DOUBLE u E" or tell me how much fun he's having while Adam Estrogen dances in eyeliner with his rosebuds, I may scale my house Mick Foley style.

While he layed there, they bring out Jim Ross accompanied by Ron Simmons. You get a pop for JR and then a stare down with Simmons and Brock (just in passing for hurting his old tag partner) and then a "DAMN" spot as he cerominously hands the mic to JR

You know that actually annoys me a bit too. In fact, superstars sometimes get unfairly booed because of Vince, while he sits in the back shouting stupid stuff in the ears of the announce team. Look at Reigns or even Cena.

The guy should get X-Pac heat from now until when he retires.

I wish they'd just go back to the Nation of Domination 2.0 idea and let Xavier Woods talk. If they aren't gonna let him wrestle (and let's be honest, the man can wrestle, but they've screwed him over like they've done Adam Rose and others from NXT who are talented athletes but gave them **** gimmicks) then let him talk. He is certainly good enough on the mic to do it.

The dude that Is teaming with sin cara on raw is really fun to watch.. Both of them really. I hope they stick around on Monday nights.

Granted, just about every company that has a "charitable" side has an ulterior motive. But this kinda stuff...makes me not like WWE very much.

Stephanie is a dum dum. Of course I've always been suspicious of HHH too. You will always have a hard time convincing me that he married into that family out of love.

This is another ugly side of it:
