This too. You really have to get creative in how you're going to make gold out of the sopping shit you've been handed by creative.
I've seen him do this challenge since April. No one has been elevated by it. It's a nice decent match to have on every RAW, not much else.
I dont buy into the idea that simply being in the ring with Cena elevates someone. It's hard to say someone is elevated at all when Cena gets his go home power boost where he then no-sells an entire match's worth of offense and makes his opponent look pitifully weak in the process. All it does is establish that everyone else is still beneath Cena, which long term hurts more than helps talent.

Big E. can dive out of the ring like nobody's business. Unlike Ambrose who gently grabs onto his opponents hands.

lol you crybabies
Why don't you cry about someone besides Cena? I mean, wouldn't you cry if your fave was afflicted by a fuckin voodoo curse? What if Cena was throwing up green goo?
It's crazy to believe that Papa Shango was only around for a year and a half. A year and a half. How many bad gimmicks have lasted for such a short amount of time, yet are remembered so well?

We frequently complain about long Authority promos. Steph putting herself over. Seth Rollins bad booking. Dolph Ziggler in general.

Talk about moving the goal post.
No greater injustice in the world than Cesaro. If they wanted to do something bold but unconsequential, a month long Cesaro/Rollins program for the title would've been more interesting than FUCKING KANE. Like if it fails, it fails but ffs it's at least something.
Unambitious is more like it. Dude tore Haitch's ass in half

There's a Kickstarter for a collection of wrestling comics called Muscle Temple. it features the likes of David Smith (Metalocalypse, Adventure Time), Zac Gorman (Rick & Morty, Costume Quest), Box Brown (Andre the Giant: Life and Legend), and Zach Marcus (Star vs. The Froces of Evil).
As a 13 year old Godfather was fucking fantastic.
Cena is definitely not the part of RAW to be upset about at the moment. It's the entirety of the writing and direction. The cookie cutter presentation. And they're making molasses cookies. No one on Earth really loves molasses cookies. Sometimes they're ok, but usually they are disappointing in every way.
Things happen because reasons. Nothing matters. RAW rolls on.

Also, those fuckers Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose (the faces, mind you) said they wouldn't start Raw with a long, boring promo. They then proceed to cut a long, boring promo together.
In paper it does elevate them, but for like 1 night and then it's back to where you came from.
Example: Cesaro has 2 match of the year contenders against Cena and then jobs clean twice to the fucking Big Show.
I thought that shit was a rib on the audience.

There's no crying from me, everyone involved in this failed Cena Open challenge is to blame.
Vince for not continuing the push of the challengers
Cena for kicking out of everyone's finishers and making them look like jobbers
Challengers for not taking advantage of their spotlight and continuing to be spineless jobbers
In short, fuck the WWE right now.

Yeah, but the animation on the Kickstarter page and the Tumblr is ace.
Also, the PDF is $5, and the physical version's on $15. I don't mind throwing $5 at something that might be cool.
Which would be great if they were the heels. Only, they're the faces.
Most of the shows you listed have fucking awful cheap ass art styles. I wouldn't want those people to make a comic book.
Call me when Rafael Gallur has a kickstarter

It was more like Dean said he wasn't gonna cut a long, boring promo, then Randy came out and ruined it.

Gallur, like Milos Manara, doesn't need to Kickstart anything.

And the second is Hi, I'm Braden Walker.
That's my opinion is the same about it. Having a match with Cena doesn't give someone an opportunity if you do nothing post-that. Just gives WWE an excuse to say they tried. It's bullshit.
Bryan isn't spineless, he was simply happy just wrestling. The guy doesn't care about anything else, he isn't ambitious.

Silver, gold, and platinum are already all gone.
Exactly. Cena and the New Day are the only things that are consistently good to great on a weekly basis.
If anybody thought they weren't still gonna get LOL CENA WINS you're fooling yourselves. I think this entire US Title run was to give the people what they THINK they wanted: Cena out of the Main Event scene, new match ups (or at least match ups without the face/heel alignment determining who he faces), more competitive matches (where he still wins) and a chance for others to run with the ball. He is still very much the top dog in all aspects and, as such, he wins all the time.
It's literally everything else about Raw that they're shitting the bed on.

Once the back is against the wall, call everyone a cry baby and change the subject to Papa Shango. Expected nothing better from a PewDiePie fan SMH
I audibly sighed and yelled "OH COME ON" when Brie Bella beat Charlotte with a missile dropkick. I was about to skip the entire match, then Charlotte started really manhandling Brie which makes way more sense, considering the size and skill gap between the two. Someone from Team Bella on the apron lightly hits Charlotte in the back, and that's enough for Brie to beat the Divas champ with a single dropkick. Ok then.
That's the kind of booking that feels spiteful. Someone upset about the attempt to change their shitty Diva booking. Then again men's booking is just as bad right now, particularly with the WWE title and Rollins.

Kane is capable and doing his best with the storyline. He's the only good part of it. Cesaro has the personality of a wet piece of cardboard and that's why he's tag teaming with Mighty Mouse right now.

Do you think he was happy to be put in an opening multi-man IC title cluster fuck with little actual wrestling or story at the biggest event of the year, at which last year he was the star?
I can't say for sure, but I doubt it. It's just hilarious he put over WWE's guy and didn't even use it as leverage to get a decent spot on Mania.
