I do not believe this to be true.
You must REALLY hate Cena to dismiss the entirety of his career.
If you want to beat this guy, your best odds are to angle for a match at Summerslam. Bad guys take note!
But all the FFXIII games were great.
One of my favorite points that Brandon Stroud brings up repeatedly is that you can fit an entire sitcom episode that tells a story from start to finish and accomplishes a whole lot more character development in the running time of a typical Raw opening promo. This is a big thing that they should be trying to improve upon by hiring TV writers.

Verendus is a pretty important poster dude.
The great thing about John Cena is he can work with almost anyone and make them look like a million bucks until he beats them clean to end the feud.
Think about it. Most anyone he works with looks like a star during their feud.
How many people had their most memorable runs against Cena?
He does his job to make anyone look like a credible opponent against him.
I'm not saying anything about what happens after, but while he works with someone, he gives them a feud that ultimately turns out to be a high watermark in their career.
On the split side of that, if you absolutely suck, Cena can't and won't do you any favors and the feud will just flat out suck.

Of course feuding with Cena will be the career highpoint when they do nothing else afterward.

Rusev would have actually been better off literally doing nothing else after the feud
I'm going to be sad when Rusev can't power through his post Cena slump
Even lighting return?

dream how excited should I be about one of the cast members of Bad Girls Club getting a shot at NXT Training Centre?

Exactly. The problem is that Vince has, historically, had tunnel-vision was concerned, and people were made stars to get to the level where they could keep Cena just fresh enough to still be a draw, then discarded to significantly less important midcard feuds and stoylines.
That's why his placement in the midcard right now works so well - he can beat people without it feeling like they've had their chances at the big time gutted. That's the real problem of having one guy perpetually at the top of your card - nobody has anywhere to go when they lose to him, so it's always just months or years of water-treading until they reignite the rivalry.
Also, hate to say it, but Rusev got injured at just the right time. If he made a return to save Lana from, I dunno, Kevin Owens or Kane, and delivered a heartfelt apology, he could be a MASSIVE face for a good long time.

Probably not very. WWE already has too many women of color.

Is it wrong to want the Young Bucks in WWE just to see them get squashed by Triple H and fired immediately afterwards? Because I'm not seeing a downside.

The Public Enemy treatment
Lightning Returns' story was hot garbage (except probably the Noel/Caius/Yeul parts and the general concept of the world itself which was cool) but yes, I really enjoyed that game.
I don't see what merch sales have to do with the reason they make people change their names at all. 9 times out of 10 it's just so they own the name.
I guess what it would have to do with merch sales is it would allow them the exclusive rights to sell merch with that name after that wrestler leaves.
Yeah it really seemed like a sloppy system, they should've just said fuck it and went full KH.
XIV is excellent, but otherwise I agree.
I'm in there.
So long as they get put in a box and shipped out, in all reality they'd probably become the new J&J those fucking frick bucks.

This is the best fantasy booking this month.
After all I always enjoyed the time he buried London and Kendrick, this seems like a better version of that.

He is being torn apart over there (F4W Board) right now yet he still thinks his points are iron clad. If's quite vicious.
I'd like to know his thoughts on why it didn't go the extra mile to make it a full 5 star match.
Owens vs Cena was the perfect main roster debut. You couldn't ask for better.

I'm a little disappointed that Owen's didn't use his open with walking around the ring strategy. Maybe he'll add that to the second match to psyche out Cena?
How was WWE okay with Owens seriously exposing the lack of offense Cena has? I know Cena's lack of offense is a known commodity, but they let Owens open up a clinic on offense.

Creating that "Cena has a weakness" storyline...

Well here's his recap of the match:
I'm really surprised he liked it so much. I thought it was a terrible match. I can understand why you guys liked it all so much, because you're all gullible and were hoodwinked by seeing Cena lose, but I expect better from Dave.

So Cena will magically gain an offensive arsenal to take down Owens? It fits Vince's fascination with Cena overcoming the odds and all.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Faces in general in WWE have no offense. They just get hit by the heels repeatedly whether clean or dirty until they can start spamming Limit Breaks.

Much has changed since the mid 90s to early 200s, hasn't it?
Tomorrow I have a free day. Are there any PPVs worth watching in whole? I stopped watching at X7 due to the ridiculous Austin heel turn. I then stopped until I heard about WWE buying WCW and then lost interest after the failed Invasion PPV.
Should I catch up on classic PPVs or find some gems during my hiatus?

I'm sure he's the king of Internet posters.
But you can be blinded by your hatreds and that's that guy.

I forgot Ryback was the IC champ, but the belt did look good on him on Monday. I see nothing but disaster with this feud with Big Show though. I don't think Ryback can pull off a MOTN like Roman did with Big Show.
I don't hate Cena though.
I just believe I am the bigger wrestling star. It's a valid truth.

I'm always down for a heel turn, but it made little sense for him to team up with McMahon. I know that from Austin's standpoint he was willing to do whatever it took to get the title, but it made little sense for McMahon to want to join him, and even less sense for HHH to join them (and play second fiddle to a guy he just beat in a brutal match).

Is it wrong that I want Ryback to come to the ring holding the belt in his teeth?
