Man I don't envy the video production team in making the Cena/Rock video package. For the other three you've got enough footage of promos and matches to make it exciting, but Cena/Rock?

What can you do with hours of footage of them standing in the ring staring at each other? I believe they can make any match exciting with their videos, but they really have nothing to work with here. They also can't just compress a boring/non-existent build down into an exciting 2 minutes, there's months of filler material they're going to have to sell as important and amazing. It's probably going to be 6+ minutes long.


It's not gonna be anything from Raw.

You know that "Rock/Cena Documentary" they showed on Monday? It's going to a retrospective of their lives. Except The Rock's is going to be his success, while the Cena one is going to be about him "RISE ABOVE HATE".

I bet 10 Bison Dollars the Cena one is going to be sappy as fuck.

EDIT: Nothing new on the Pre-Show right now. We've seen this stuff before.

This is the Rock Cena Docenmentary isn't it?
 
Once in a while? No one has won the Rumble and their WM match since Undertaker in 2007.

orly

haven't watched Wrestling since Wrestlemania 20 lol

Yeah Sheamus is losing. Maybe they had plans with him after Rumble, but the Daniel Bryan has taken off since then. FAR more interesting than Sheamus.
 
I'm resolved to sit through this documentary again just to see the tag match before I can go to bed damnit! You won't defeat me Cena!
 
The only reason Sheamus won the rumble is because people figured out Y2J would win and WWE decided to throw us another last-minute curveball.
 
My predictions for tonight:

Rock over Cena
Taker over HHH
Punk over Y2J
DBry over Shameus
Cody over Show
Team johnny over team teddy
Face diva and celeb over heel divas
Orton over Kane
 
I have not ordered a WWE PPV since Wrestlemania 13. I am seriously considering getting tonight's event. I do not know why. The desire feels almost alien to me. But I am seriously considering it. Is that insane?

Does it start at 7pm (Eastern)? Does anyone have a sense of how long these things go? Are they, like, three hours?

and yet jericho is still in the main event for a title

WWE: throwing a curveball for the sake of throwing a curveball. logic need not apply.

That's not how WWE thinks. Yes, Bryan's the most entertaining thing on SD, or hell, WWE right now, and my favourite wrestler going right now (and has been for a long time).

But since when have they always gone for the best choice for business?

And in all honesty, would you rather it be Sheamus or Orton who beats Bryan? With Barrett injured, and the roster depth disaster right now, those are your only choices.

Plus it's not like Bryan is kicked off WWE TV forever if he isn't champion, he's still going to be here, doing his thing. If anything his good success with the title should help convince the WWE to keep him around as a permanent fixture in the main event scene, unlike Swagger or Miz who got crappy reigns and were thrown right back to the mid card.

Yeah 7pm, and it's 4 hours
 
Yup it's the documentary. :|

That's right, Shadowlink. You, Me, and the whole Cenation are going to ride into victory tonight.

I don't want Cena to win, but the fact that you all are so proud of being a part of the #Cenation means that you have my respect. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S THIS BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT

*shakes all of Cenation's hands*
 
So tempted to buy this but only give a shit about 3 matches.

BTW, anyone know why Cena stopped wearing Jordans?

Serious answers only plzkthxbye

Serious answer: He traded in the jorts for camo shorts and I guess he changed his shoes too.

Joke Answer: He doesn't want to wear shoes made by little slave kids.
 
You god damn right I'm salty. This should have been an amazing match, but instead I'm getting video about Rock smiling at teenage girls, and Cena having a family that loves him.

This is fucking stupid.

It'll have a better finish than Batman v. Bane this summer, mark.
 
Should we be due a new Cena shirt tonight? my associate who will suffer with me is guessing a yellow shirt if so, I fear Cena is too hurt by Fruity pebbles comments to risk another coloured shirt so i'm going with white.
 
Even after 6 years, the WWE and Vince show they do not understand, at a fundamental level, why people boo John Cena.

They've tried shaming people into cheering him, they've tried legend's endorsements, they've tried associating him with faces that are over, they've tried record breaking, they've tried making him seem "so nice" or "so hard working", etc

And this is just in the last year. All of those show they still don't actually GET why he's booed, but unfortunately they also show that the WWE THINKS they know why he's booed.

Their attempts to remedy it, based on said inaccurate reasonings, have resulted in some truly terrible TV.

I think they were hoping for an X-Seven Rock/Austin reaction, where both were faces and both were over in a big way. Difference there is their rivalry was actually, you know, a rivalry. Rock and Cena still don't have any actual beef with each other a year of building later
 
Yep, that's right. Cena is Batman.

Cena's story is so fucking boring.

He had a mom, dad and brothers. And they acted like kids! WOAH!

Even if Cena sucks, there is no reason this match couldn't have been really exciting and interesting, with all the Era vs. Era implications, the megastar vs. megastar aspect, and plenty of issues to work into it, with the potential for some really gamechanging stuff to happen

They proceeded to ignore all of those and make more things trend on Twitter. It's such a waste.

I don't think it'll be a completely new one. Probably another variation of the Rise Above Hate shirt. (Though there was a moment when I thought he'd get an "Adapt & Overcome" tshirt because he kept saying that in promos and on Twitter for a little bit.)
 
On today's WrassleGaf recap, we take a trip back to December 2011 when the prospect of "Kane in 2012" was simply too much for two wrasslegaffers to handle.
How did I know about it in December? Well, I'm not Kane if that's what you're implying. I'm not. Really. I'm not.

It was in the dirt sheets for months. BTW, I'm convinced that Net is just a huge Kane mark who got pissed cause Kane wouldn't sign his autograph or something.


Why would Lesnar call a Kane fan first? He'd first call a Taker fan like myself.
Like I said, Lesnar wrote that he wishes he could have been Kane.

Hurt by Fruity Pebbles? 1/3 of this documentary is a commercial for Fruity Pebbles.
 
Latest Are You Serious is pretty good.

Puppet H returns!

Come on, we don't have to watch bad clips! We can watch The Chaperone

Well played, Puppet H. Well played.
