In other news, fuck John Cena.
Those who known me for a while know that, although I'm not a fan, I accept him often than most people on here and tend to defend him at times....but last night with him was bullshit and when I say bullshit, I don't mean "Aw, SuperCena, blah blah..." No I mean that is bullshit that THAT is the only way to sell Cena at this current moment.
I missed the opening segment but caught it later. Are you fucking kidding me? The same man who held his own against Triple H leading up to Wrestlemania 22, the same man who had those killer promos back and forth with Edge in their rivalry in 2006, the same man who cut a great promo with Batista back in 2010, the guy who even bested Rock a night or two in 2011 has now been reduced to that? And don't give me that "Well, he's the top babyface." Hogan, for all his transgressions, had you pumped and anyone saying otherwise is lying. Period. Same for Macho Man, Same for Austin, Same for Rock, Same for HHH, Same for Flair. That promo was atrocious. Two other things wrong with that whole ordeal:
1) This needs to be said. John Cena's crowd psychology blows and blows hard. As much flack as I give Hogan for certain things, dude knew his spots to pop and build the crowd up and changed his tempo not just for his match but for the crowd to get into it. Cena rushes, gets beaten down, rushes again, beaten down, then rushes for the win. How can the crowd be even closely into a match like that when Cena does the same style of match? Not saying he is a bad wrestler but man his psychology leaves a LOT to be desired.
2) What was the point of AJ and Langston being ejected if Langston's interference and Ziggler's distraction STILL couldn't put Cena away? Not only does it sell Langston, a new guy on the scene, short but it completely bitches out Ziggler and you're telling me he's going to be a World champion in a few months. Give me a break. I wouldn't buy it and neither would the majority.
The worst thing WWE could do right now is for Cena to win the Rumble AND beat the Rock to become the WWE champion at Mania. Cena doesn't deserve it. He doesn't. Cena doesn't need a pointless Rumble win which will do nothing for him, short term or long term. He DAMN WELL is nowhere near needed in Rock/Punk's segment (especially after that golden performance from them last night) and would only hinder it.
People say WWE is fucked without Cena, which I say too and is true, but let's be real. The company is already fucked up with him STILL the top guy.
