"The match was off the charts. It was a hellacious deal. The only thing that could have been a little bit different is you're going down that road of too many false finishes, and I think when you continue to go down that road long-term, you're really booking yourself into a bad spot because how do you beat anybody in a year? How do you beat anybody in two years? You don't, you're going to have to pull out a gun and shoot 'em."

Thing with Cena is, wins against Cena don't matter if Cena starts losing too much.

Otherwise he just becomes Kane. And what do wins against Kane mean?
Nothing. not anymore anyway.

So it's a tough deal. KO is lucky to even get one really. It will be his 4 touchdowns in single game Al Bundy story. For life.

I just caught that Taker/Brock rumble from last night. That was really entertaining. Can't believe I passed out shortly before it. Would have been cool to see it unfold on the tele.

But man, Taker looked like he gassed out hard. I really hope they don't put him over during the match up and have him win. I think Brock needs the win more than he does. In fact, I think this is just another speed bump in Brock's way as he continues down the path to his inevitable win for the belt.

I don't think we should assume Brock will lose by pinfall or submission. Anything is possible now.

Because long term most people remember who wins the feud. It's always Cena. The last clean victory aside from Owens which was recent is Bryan at SS and Lesnar. I literally remember nothing else because he just wins all his feuds.
But I'll always remember Owens as that guy who beat Cena once.

Even Wade couldn't do that!

edit: So everyone on the last fight yesterday has beat Cena yes? I'm pretty sure Cesaro has but not at a PPV.
But I could be wrong!

Rusev beat Cena earlier this year. Feels like 5 years ago and I can't even remember how he beat him. I do remember that Cena destroyed him for 4 months straight after that though.

Also, Cena doesn't just win the feud, he dominates it. He doesn't just win, he makes the guy tap out or quit and go out like a total bitch.

Did You Know?

According to noted hip-hop aficionado and Hot 97 radio personality "Pretty Good" Peter Rosenberg, the M.O.P. - Ante Up sample at the beginning of John Cena's theme song is actually saying rapper dude.

Exactly, no idea how. I literally have no idea when it was, what month, show, how it happened, nothing. All I remember is Cena winning the awful bull rope match, the meh 'Mania match, they stick out. Weak booking for Owens to lose, and even worse to end the feud and move them both on. Unless Rollins turns face and faces Owens in a title feud, then I'm good. But it's just stupid.

I hated the Taker/Lesnar stuff when it emerged though but after last night I'm a bit happier, what a great RAW!

I want to see Sunny Mac vs Owens

3 part challenge

Eating contest
Blood sugar level
bench press

Probably will get beaten in the eating contest. MAYBE bench press. I'll definitely win blood sugar level as mine's a nice ol' 0 as a result of being carb free.

Man, when Rusev and Lana get back together it'll be off the charts, much like Macho/Liz. It's gonna be amazing. The Super-Face run to end all face runs.

But BRRR APPLEDOUGH makes so much more sense. Cena hasn't rapped in ages.

We still need a follow up feud where Tha Trademarc sets up the Anti-Cena Squad of wrestlers who have been crushed by Cena over the years because Cena abandoned Tha Trademarc when he needed Cena.

Trademarc appeared on Cena's first WWE DVD Word Life. He now works as a classroom specialist for the Peace Corps of America.

Well, never mind then.

I thought he was shout ARMANDOO or something. Thank you for that insightful tidbit friend Cagey.
 
Does anyone else think Cole has been on better form since he's had Saxton to partner him? Beast in the East was one of his best shows he's ever done and last night during the Lesnar run in and brawl with Taker I loved how they all flung their headsets off and ran away! Brilliant. Plus Saxton is more sensible to JBL stops the nonsense he did with Lawler and is back to bring a moderately good commentator as he was in his early days as a play by play guy.

All hail Saxton!

My blood sugar had gotten out of control (like pre-diabetes range) since I gave up working out after having the kid and that whole cancer deal.

Well I lost 10 pounds, starting hitting the gym again, cut out the damn sugar.... and my blood sugar levels are actually better than ever. Like ever.

Sugar and Fatness is the enemy. Don't give in. Don't KO.

Congrats dude, thats great to hear!

Phonetically "Diet Owens Diet" is quite close to "Fight Owens Fight".

I wonder how much Vince he had in his ear for Beast in the East.

True. I think that was the reminder handed to us at Battleground. If you have two obvious outcomes that do not make sense, expect a third outcome that takes everyone for a surprise.

Saw Mark Callaway less than a year ago with his wife, Michelle, at a run for kids with Cancer. Dude is aging (as expected). The juxtaposition of him standing side by side with Brock is staggering for me, personally, and the only two outcomes that I can buy into would be a Brock pin or something else entirely not involving a Taker pin. Otherwise, seeing a Taker pin would take a leap of logic for me even understanding that this is "Sports Entertainment".

It would have to be no DQ.

I been on the Saxton train for a minute and dudes thought I was crazy. While Brock destroyed the entire Raw commentary team, he took the initiative and did the commentary solo.
 
Vince didn't travel with them to Japan, did he? Cole is always noticeably better when Vince isn't there.

That's what I'm thinking.

I felt bad for him that night and I thought that was a really bad move. You have a lot of eyes on the product the night after Wrestlemania and you want to have your commentary team there to explain some of what is going on to potential new viewers. I like Saxton but he was awkward as hell that night. It may have been intentional given the situation, but it came off bad.

Zero which also helped, they were left alone 100% with Cole leading and directing apparently. But King, I hadn't heard his commentary in few weeks due to not watching smack down and oh my god, he was nearly unbearable at the PPV after a few weeks away. He also gets the other two out of control too, it's hilarious how bad he is, legend or not.

Thanks! I was also surprised to see my cholesterol levels drop by ONLY changing my carb intake.

They weren't in a bad range, but carbs definitely affect them.

I felt bad for him that day he had to go solo when Brock F5'd Cole out of his shoes. That must have been rough.

Doing pretty good now though.

I decided to pass on the ol' LOLTNA wiki and instead look at their LOLWWE attempt, and man, it sure sounds like upset marks on that one. I don't recommend it.

True. He did froze up for a good minute, but eventually he tone it down. Maybe selling is not his strong point :(.

Indeed. Hopefully the commentary team will consist of Bryon and Cole one day, because dudes are amazing together.
