Push the man. Or at least make him the new genius
All wrestling for three hours with little to nothing on the line and the 75th repeat of matches is boring as fuck. This is a television show, not a house show. Seth and Ambrose as a feud isn't all that interesting.
I think I watched 14 minutes of a 3 hour show.
There's precious little that moves the interest needle. It's not even bad, it's just immensely boring.
At least Rusev and Lana keep delivering.

this is fucking incredible, the roll is perfect
I'm satisfied with the results. It just seems stupid to have a "contract on the pole" match almost close to the time Raw is over. Its understandable because god forbid cena actually lays down for a three count or lose clean without bullshit in the way. Other than that I'm looking forward to Hell in the Cell. Hell I'm looking forward to Cena/Orton pt. 2002- Electric Boogaloo too.

They tried
nothing and that's the problem. the PPV is in 2 weeks and he's not booked, and the rumors are that he won't be defending until the Rumble
right now they're trying to make us forget that the belt even exists
Don't forget:
- the reused Wyatt promos
- USA Network show plugs that don't match the audience
- constant ego stroking for Vince by remidning viewers that arenas make more on wrestlemania than during a regular season baseball game
- Divas storylines that are based off of another show that most of the fanbase doesn't watch
- Except for the Divas belt every belt holder lost but retained their title
- WWE champion is in to busy sleeping than to be bothered to show up at a show.

Orton's going over Cena so that they can build Orton vs Lesnar for Survivor Series right?
Cause that shit better happen. But yeah you never know with Cena.

What went wrong with the Ambrose/Rollins feud was months of angles and matches (all without a final conclusion and win for Ambrose) got negated because suddenly Cena's supposedly got an equal vendetta and obsession with beating Rollins because Rollins cost him one match (as opposed to you know, betraying Ambrose and breaking up the Shield).
So of course Cena gets inserted into the feud and not only that but his supposed grievances are given equal status to Ambrose's, which just trivializes Ambrose's blood feud with Rollins.
Get far away from Cena, and never look back.

Lol so on point. Cena always has to suck heat from any up and comer that Cena fears might take his spot. He was doing the same with Reigns.
I want to like the guy, and I've defended him in the past, but the past two years have been insufferable with Cena's insertion into every meaningful act and him giving "the rub" aka the kiss of prolonged death.
Acts that Cena has shittified or tainted over the years:
-Nexus/Barrett
-Ryback
-Sandow
-Ryder
-Wyatt
-Reigns (more the fault of creative?)
-Ambrose
I guess he sorta/kinda elevated Cesaro, and he definitely elevated Bryan and Lesnar, both at Summerslam...though the NoC Brock match was dumb.

Lesnar's not coming back until January. They wasted his appearance on that crappy match with Cena.
I think the only person Cena has ever put over with no bullshit was Daniel Bryan. Even with Punk, we had plenty of bullshit promos like that "The WWE title is irrelevant when you have it because I'm booked higher on the card and that's your fault somehow!". With Bryan there was no "goatface" comments, or anything, he put him over as a serious contender, lost clean as a whistle to him at Summerslam, and never got his win back.
Everyone else gets these backhanded compliments at best, or these semi-sarcastic "Let's give it up for _____" type promos.

His new contract allows them to add dates as needed so it is possible

100% correct
Cena must have a hogan like clause in his contract about creative control.
-CM Punk's year long title reign
-People Power!
-Twice in a Lifetime
-ADR's gimmick
I think Daniel Bryan should be on that list too. He got his title match at SS against Cena, went over, immediately dropped the belt to Orton, and then they tried to phase him out in favor of goddamn Big Show. Then Bryan spends half a year being over as fuck and clawing his way into the WM30 main event, only to get injured a month later.
Cena's kiss of death is strong.

Cena might have elevated B-squared back in the day.
You know whats so sad about this statement is how Lesnar being used like a instant buyrate Monopoly card. People talk shit about the Rock holding the belt for ransom but Lesnar have the belt giving demands over the phone. I love Bork but what's the point of Seth having the briefcase if he can't friggin put effort into cashing it. I bet Vince is kicking his shins now at that Hollywood Hogan contract he gave brock.
If the WWE was smart they would put more strength in the IC belt since the main title is on hiatus....but that would make Ziggler a main event player in the process which seems like a big no no to booking.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Twice in a lifetime...the same thing Bret and Shawn were supposed to do with Mania 12 and 13, but Shawn pussy-footed out of it.
Not the same thing exactly, but yeah.
Punk was not the number one guy even when he was champion. That whole "Cena had the worst year of his career" bullshit in 2013 was godawful.
If he's changed, that's great. But he still did some shitty stuff back in his prime. Like I said, still love his matches and his intensity, though. And his theme was off the charts amazing.
Conspiracy theory:
Cena is paying off Bryan's doctors to keep pushing back his return date, and Cena had them put something in Bryan's meds so that the strength in his arm wouldn't come back right away either.
DAMN YOU, JOHN.
Why are you posting pics of politicians? This is Wrassle-GAF, not poligaf.

yea but what about when Cena tossed him aside for Redd Dogg
I think Cena is so set in his old ways that he doesn't even care no more. If I was a wrestler whose getting recognition from the fans and creative pairs me with Cena to elevate the storyline....i would find someway to get out of that contract if I got to go nuts on twitter. I'll take my chances jobbing to Khali....atleast I'll have a piece of mind afterwards :/.
Smarks outsmarking themselves.
Fuck 2k! I'm not buying their piece of shit PS3 version of WWE 2k15, and you shouldn't either.
I pulled this from the Amazon product listings, hadn't notice this before:
No career mode and no gameplay enhancements. It's pretty much confirmed you get last year's game with the new 2k showcase mode.
I knew something was up when they didn't delay the last gen versions.
Fuck that.

I love people saying "THIS COMMUNITY HATES EVERYTHING GOOD" after an event that just had a pole match in 2014 and is leading to a PPV co-mained by Cena/Orton in 2014
yeah, a lot of good there. totally

If Cena can ruin things just by showing up, then I guess your precious new stars just aren't that good. Steve Austin would've got over, by Cena, Dusty Rhodes would've. The Rock would've. Because they have actual charisma and star presence. Not just a chant just as or more over than they are.
