Cheer for Cena, kids. He's a man's man. Put that fame-seeking Dwayne in his place on Monday Night RAW.
In other news, Drew McIntyre's profile has been removed from the WWE Superstars section of WWE.com as a result of finally being fired from Smackdown. He will now be repackaged as some flamboyantly gay wrestler.
So, Taker had two surgeries while away, and he's much lighter than before. Apparently, whether he continues on or not depends on how well he holds up at WM. So, it's not certain whether he retires or not. He's holding out for a Kane match, I know it. Way to go deadman! You may lost the war, but you've won this battle!
EDIT: Come take a look at one of the worst booked matches in history. Who came up with these spots? lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyqJzLGofY&feature=g-vrec&context=G2180881RVAAAAAAAAAA

Every time I see this, I think the ring announcer is Pat Sajak.
Austin Aries approves of the above post.
He looks like Pat Sajak and Martin Sheen fused.

Problem: The fans are booing John Cena because he is endlessly getting pushed down our throats

It's funny becuase the same thing happened to The Rock, or rather, Rocky Maivia.
Well, Rock was getting booed when he faced Lesnar. It was his heel turn that brought people back. It happens to every big guy in the WWE. It's just that, not since Hogan has someone been the "man" for this damn long. Rock, Stone Cold, HBK, Hart were only on top for a few years, not 7 years.

I'd be very okay with this. I've always had a sneaking suspicion that Drew is awesome.
Might just be the Scotch in me
Thanks Soul, I can see your value.
Thanks, now I won't be able to use that pic again without seeing that.
John Cena is basically the dreamworks/pixar picture.

Very emotional viewing for me with Shawn vs. Bret DVD
My hunches were correct BACK then, Hunter was directly involved with the screwjob.
I wasted time and breath (actually typing) with all you same peple who have now magically changed your mind about Hunter.
I stopped watch because of him, and it was clear that he fucked up the entire industry.
What a great DVD by the WWE.

WWE dont have a clue what they want to do with Cena anymore.
They spend a good part of the last 12 months making it cool for casual fans to boo him.
Now all of a sudden they want to get everyone to cheer for him again after a year of guys like Punk and Rock and Kane making him look like the chump most internet fans always saw him as.
Its a perfect time for a dramatic character shift but that isnt gonna happen.
Will be interesting how things go post mania. My guess is Punk vs Cena in Chicago 2 at Extreme rules (1th PPV after mania) and Cena gets the belt back because FUCK YOU!
Maybe they tease a rock vs Cena rematch or the rumors of best 2 out of 3 with the final decider at next mania and a match at Summerslam or SS is actually true.

Sadly this is what will happen, This years Mania will not build any new stars. The only top guys on Raw after Mania will be Punk and Cena.

yeah but they quickly took the belt from him, and sent him to the nation of domination where he began shinning as the heel peoples champ. He didnt go face till later.
I'm watching Goldberg vs. Raven right now:

I loved it when WCW would do those dramatic slow-motion replays after a match. Wish WWE would do that as well.

I'm hoping Jericho wins the belt, to keep the feud with Punk alive. But I know that all has to do with whether he gets bored again.
They are doing a lot to build Daniel Bryan's credibility with this year's Mania. He's the first person since Kevin Nash to debut at a Wrestlemania defending a major title.

He's only 34, so we're probably getting closer to fifteen. D=

They have been protecting him very well. But i can also see them just making him curtain jerk and lose in a 5 min match. Ziggler will probably be in the tag title match :/ Rhodes is stuck with show :/ and Ryder is stuck in the eve storyline with no opponent :/ The undercard is horrible for this years mania.

but the meaning of major title in the WWE these days means shit.
the WHC is pretty much the intercontinental title of the 90s.
the WWE title is still the real title but even that isnt main event worthy on its own anymore according to recent PPV's.
Yeah, whoever is in charge of his storyline and promos have helped create one of the top heels the company has. Also, this potential wrestlemania card is alot better than last years.

- Last night, one of the WWE equipment trucks ran off the road near Pulaski, NY. It was one of the trucks with a photo of The Miz on the side.

The Miz is literally botching everything.

I just gotta say people get disgusted about my absurd WWE booking but that idea is on a level far worse than anything I ever delivered to WrassleGAF.

I can't believe they put the Cena match over the WWE title Chamber match. On the Elimination Chamber PPV. There was no reason for it either, no one got involved, no major spot that needed it to be the final match, NOTHING.

I hear he tried to catch the truck, but to no avail.
And then he will have to overcome Tyrant-Cena.
I for one look forward to the Cenation Cena Clone storyline where Cena overcomes his clones.

Its weird and they have been doing it alot the last few years.
I mean Punk vs Triple H was the main event at night of CHAMPIONS!
When cena was having that pointless feud with Nexus that was the main event every PPV for no good reason as well.

I can hear the WWE voice over promo man now...
"But can Cena overcome the odds....of himself! WWE Cenation live this sunday"
WWE love their imposter/mimic storylines, no doubt this story comes about after Cena has successfully beaten everyone on the roster enough to ascend to his own tier within the company far above a mere title
*looks at EC match placement and W28 main event*
Okay so maybe he's there already
No we won't, Cenas knees are to bluntly put it are fucked. And Cena wants to get more into the body building, rather than wrestle or entertain, but seen as he doesn't do that now...

He's Tonka Tough.
I remember Furnas and Lafond, though only from their short WWF run
there was a false report a week ago that Timothy Well had died, but he's still alive

Just like that truck swerved off the road, the Miz will swerve all of you. He will do something big at WM. Like destroy Alex Riley in a dark match.

Nobody gives a shit about Riley, though.
Oh man, that's awful if true - I loved the Can-Am Express
In remembrance, here's the Wrestling Observer's 5* rated Match of the Year for 1992;
The Can-Am Express (Doug Furnas & Dan Kroffat) (c) vs Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi - (AJPW 05/25/92)
Part 1; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU2fW45YvOU
Part 2; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHbv5-iB9_0
Part 3; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xd5QPFtZLk
*edit, dat heat, and the crowd popping like crazy for anything Kikuchi does. Awesome stuff.
Oh man, RIP. Got introduced to Can-Am through that match.
Listen to that fucking crowd!
So glad his push ended fast. Couldn't stand him. Nice entrance music though.
