over the period of one week cena and cesaro have given us two classic matches on raw
but what we as tv viewers don't see or pay much attention to are the things that go on outside those events (and sometimes during the matches lol)
the first cena vs cesaro match last week went 20 minutes 10 seconds bell to bell..the longest match on raw all year up to that point beating wyatt vs ambrose from january 5th which went 19 minutes 34 seconds
now the fun begins. after the match cesaro and cena (along with half the crew) travelled from washington dc (site of raw) to singapore, a distance of about 9,650 miles or around 22 hour flight. they had an event in singapore on thursday and then flew 3330 miles or 7 hours to tokyo for a show on friday and another on saturday. after the show on saturday night in tokyo they flew the 6,300 mile journey back (12 hour flight) to chicago for raw last night
so after nearly 20,000 miles travelled in a few days, 40+ hours spent on a plane, numerous time zones crossed and recrossed they come back last night and wrestle for 30 minutes 5 seconds bell to bell..easily the longest match on raw all year
hats off to both cesaro and cena, the dedication both men have to their craft is amazing. they could have half-assed the match last night and cited tiredness, jetlag or any number of issues. instead they went out there and put on a fantastic match.
