It'd be really refreshing to see fans able to boo Cena for actual reasons and not just because people are sick of seeing him.
Two sitcoms that were the epitome of overrated for their respective generations.

Anyone watch something called "Finding Hulk Hogan"? It was on A&E last night, it's not new since he was talking about putting over TNA. Show was trying to be something of a shoot but not really... also his hair extensions were really distracting.

I think we might have found TNA's "savior no one has heard of". Though if this is the deal they take, they might as well close up shop now.

Well, yeah, of course the face character is gonna say he's not turning heel.
British Monsoon

The interview wasn't in character, hence why he mentioned he 'has it in him' to play the heel role. Also, if it were in character, wrestling logic would dictate that an outright denial would only increase the odds of any eventual heel turn - however, this is Cena we're talking about and normal wrestling logic doesn't apply. He'll be a face for as long as kids keep buying his gaudy, colourful merchandise.

I feel like TNA is playing EWR right now and they just got an offer from that one bottom ass network that never got anything above a 0.01.
They need a Spike level deal or they die.

I still believe that Cena turned heel for one night only when he destroyed Ryder's career. Cena stole his g/f and unintentionally lured Ryder out, only to have him thrown off the stage in a wheel chair. The show ended with a crippled Ryder pushing Cena, and Cena pushed him back while the crowd booed him louder then ever before.
On the following Monday, Cena turned face before the Raw intro played.

Yeah, why the fuck did Cena push Ryder there? What an asshole
NOOOOOO NONONONONO.
You have got this all wrong mate, it wasn't Cena here who was the bad guy. It was that Hoeski Eve. That bitch. Kissed a guy after he saved her from the EVIL DEMON KANE, regretted it and then was made to cry in front of 10.000 people while being laughed at and called names. SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY IN THE WRONG HERE. What a terrible human being.
Cena was being a great friend by slutshaming that bitch in front of the eyes of the millions watching around the wrold. What a great champ.

Entirely unsurprised to hear the ROH crowd have partly turned on Elgin already. It's amazing how ROH manage to put the belt on a guy just as a the fans are getting sick of him - should've pulled the trigger a year+ ago, instead Elgin's run to the belt has been a lot like Tyler Black's. It took too long and people got bored of the chase.
Also, it doesn't help that Elgin wrestles the same match over and over. I liked what I saw of him 2-3 years back when he was first really breaking out in the US, but it's got to the point where every Elgin match blurs into one. He really needs to cut back on the shit he does in the ring, as that whole finisher combo is total overkill. Also, shit like the twisting senton that never hits - why is a big guy going up top anyways? It's not like he's Bam Bam and that's his thing. Lastly, he gives his opponents too much in the ring and it makes him look foolish, especially when it's against some scrawny flippy dude. If you're going to pretend like you're this monster amongst midgets, fucking ACT like it.
High five! I loved that show, Portia de Rossi was great in it.

Yeah, what the fuck was that? They basically Deus Ex Eve'd it too by having her reveal her grandiose plan to the Bellas like, minutes before. Before that it made no damn sense.
Ryder is still a goddamn maroon though, of course she's gonna turn on you again!
I was the first one to hate him, damnit! Him and his stupid mullet!
And that senton is his goddamn Kurt Angle moonsault deal of never hitting ever

Doesn't appear to be, so I guess he's leaving it short - probably for the best, as he was balding badly before the mullet got shaved.
He looks like Karl Pilkington.
It's pathetically lazy - he continually uses that spot for his opponent's comeback in every freaking match. So tiresome.

That promo felt like it belonged in the w/ some of the worst of the Attitude Era. It was such a fucking ridiculous way of getting Cena back on the face side. (Were Eve and Zack even dating? Or was it just a shitty "YOU KNEW I LIKED HER, BRO!!" thing?)
It did lead to Glasses and Turtleneck Eve, but there are better ways of getting there.

The Simpsons is horrible. Father Ted is at least about people who are poor as shit in a piece of shit building. There's comedy there, even though it's a slight against my Irish ancestry.

Supercard is now the Second Screen Experience during Raw.
They should do "fantasy" card stuff though and tie it in to real-world results on-screen, that would be really smart.

Wait, people are already tired of Elgin? I'd only been following for a few months, but it seemed like people were up for the win over Cole.
ROH live crowds can be a fickle group of hipsters: they like the guy until the guy gets too much attention or promotion or gets on top, and then they turn to find another guy to get behind.

My Network subscription expires in a week, and honestly I think I'm going to let it go. I'm not that engaged in the product, have only watched the PPVs because I felt like I should since Payback or so, don't watch NXT or Main Event anymore, and they stopped updating the '95 Raws which were the only thing I was consistently watching.
I'll come back for Nitros and/or when I get more engaged in the product as a whole. Right now, Raw is more than enough for me.

That's a total lie by the way. They like guys they like. The ones they do tend to be great workers. They always loved guys like AJ, Steen, etc. It's not about "getting to the top." It never is in wrestling, no matter the crowd. It's about them finding something to like about you and liking it.

WWE Backlash 2006
- Raw Brand. April 30, 2006. Lexington, Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Attendance 14,000. JR and King announcing. Sponsored by Topps.
- King must have gotten hair plugs some time in the past 8 years. Look how thin his hair is!
- Beautiful moonsault by Carlito, though he didnt connect with much as Masters kinda missed catching him.
- FINISH: Carlito hits the Codebreaker and uses the ropes as leverage for the pin.
BACKSTAGE: Maria throws to a video showing fans saying who they want to win the WWE Championship match later tonight. Lita walks into shot and says she and Edge are gonna have a private sex celebration after he wins tonight.
- Umaga is undefeated coming into this match.
- FINISH: Armando makes a funny face. Then Umago hits a headbutt off the top rope, followed by a thumb to the face of Flair for the win. Taped up like a spike, King says as he puts over the thumb move.
- Trish turned her Matrix move into the Bray Wyatt spider into a headscissor. Super impressive.
- FINISH: Mickie chokes Trish with her wristband. Ref DQs Mickie, who remains champ.
BACKSTAGE: HBK tells Maria that the lord is with him tonight.
Winner Take All singles match for Benjamin's WWE Intercontinental Championship and Van Dam's Money in the Bank contract: Money in the Bank contract holder Rob Van Dam vs Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin
- Shleton was without his Mama tonight. Is it bad that I liked the Shletons Mama gimmick?
- Very athletic, high-flying match as youd expect. At one point, Shelton dove over the top rope and hit a sunset-flip powerbomb on RVD to the outside floor.
- Cool counter by Shelton turning the Rolling Thunder into a Samoan Drop.
- FINISH: Van Daminator by RVD using the Money In The Bank briefcase. Then a Frog Splash.
RECAP: Kane turns heel on Big Show after Kane hears someone say the date May 19th, haha.
BACKSTAGE: Big Show tells Todd Grisham who cares that May 19th is the opening date of See No Evil. Hilarious line from the Big Show - Kane has a movie coming out. So what? I was in Waterboy. You didnt see me running around across the country attacking people and freaking out.
Singles match: Big Show vs Kane
- Exactly as youd expect this match to be.
- FINISH: Haha, wtf, lights go dark. We hear Kanes voice over the loudspeaker May 19th. Its happening again Kane. Kane freaks out. Big Show grabs a chair and nails Kane in the head with it (Kane put his hands up). Lights come back on, and Big Show walks off.
BACKSTAGE: Candice Michelle tells Vince she has a chest cold. She wants Vince to cure her. Brilliant. Vince puts his arms around Candice. They both start yelling and moaning as Vince yells, Heal this womans voluptuous breasts! Haha, cut back to King and JR, who basically shoots, What the hell was that? Is he crazy? The Chairman of the WWE, folks, has lost it.
RECAP: Very funny - includes those scenes of Vince and Shane in a church. Genuinely one of my favorite storylines in WWE history. God, I dont like you. You dont like me, Vince says.
No Holds Barred Tag Team match: Vince and Shane McMahon defeated God and Shawn Michaels
- JR, I think Mr. McMahon looks forward going to hell.
- Vince cuts a promo. He introduces HBKs tag team partner - From the Kingdom of Heaven, please welcome god.
- Out comes HBK. They all fight up to the staging area. Out of nowhere, HBK cross bodies Vince off the stage through some padded wood.

- Vince grabs the mic and starts taunting god. Vince acts like god is leaving the match - abandoning HBK, haha.
- HBK fights back. Shane swings a chair, misses Vince, and hits Vince straight in the head (unprotected).
- Sweet Chin Music for Shane. Then for Vince.
- HBK doesnt go for the cover. Rather, grabs two tables and sets em up in the ring. Then sets up a 20 foot ladder in the ring.
- HBK climbs. Spirit Squad comes out and HBK jumps to the outside on all of them.
- FINISH: Spirit Squad gangs up on HBK, swing him in the air, through a table. Vince proudly covers.
- King quips, Its the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit Squad.
IN RING PROMO: Matt Striker comes out, cuts a heel promo on the Kentucky crowd. Striker welcomes Eugene to the ring - to make an example out of him. It backfires. The crowd chants, You love poop! at Striker. Eugene picks his nose and makes Striker eat it. Eugene hits the Stone Cold Stunner on Striker.
- Match starts with Triple H and Cena competing to see who can beat up Edge better.
- Triple H blades like crazy.
- Edge spike DDTs Triple H on the Spanish Announce Table, which doesnt break.
- I skipped ahead in this match, I admit.
- Cena locks on the STF to a bloody Triple H, who doesnt tap.
- FINISH: Cena counters the Pedigree into a roll-through pin.
- A swell match. Post-match, Triples H nails everyone with the sledgehammer and show closes on posing.
Thanks for reading!

BACKSTAGE: Vince reminds Shane that this is a tag team match. Shane will handle HBK, and Vince will handle god. Theres nothing god can do that I cant do. Vince pours out water on the ground, then walks over it. Im walkin on water! Vince then breaks bread and throws the pieces, along with a fish, over his shoulders. Later, lots of bread and fish fall from the sky in his office. Vince leaves as Shane sees that his own water bottle has turned into wine. Its a pretty insane segment, but I admit, I LOVE THE VINCE VS GOD STORYLINE.
Singles match for the WWE Women's Championship: Mickie James (c) vs Trish Stratus
- Trish turned her Matrix move into the Bray Wyatt spider into a headscissor. Super impressive.
