This is actually where I wave my finger in disappointment at Creative, AND John Cena for allowing his in ring ability to become as limited as it has over the past few years of Super Cena's career. An when it comes to Cena ending The Undertakers streak I would say he deserves it but at the same time John Cena has already been awarded too much. John Cena unlike Drew Mcintyre, and Sheamus had to earn his way to where he is. He was on the same level as Christian is recently for a few years losing a handful of matches. It did not truly change until' he was awarded his first belt an then onward he begun to be morphed into WWE's version of the Hulkster from his WCW days. The WWE should learn that having move combos are not cool. MAYBE to little kids, but the kids are not paying for the tickets. Us adults are, and we atleast want to be entertained rather than being bored out of our minds. We want high-flying guys... Quick an muscular guys that could go from doing power bombs to lows blows, to backflips, and ALWAYS find ways to throw us off. Move sets are like a song. They are hits within their first year but after that they become dull because you know the lyrics to the song way too well.
Lol, I like your description of move sets to songs. It's apt.
Unfortunately, WWE is very big on "signature" entrances and moves. It's like this crap about banning the chop, simply because Flair was known for his. So what WWE is telling us is no other performer can or is allowed to use a move that's readily identified with a former employee, unless they have the character of a retarded person (Eugene) and then it's somehow funny? I understand that "People's Elbow's", "5 Knuckle Shuffle's" & "Tombstone's" are pretty character specific, but what about all the moves that don't get used? I just think it's really stupid that say, Justin Gabriel is the
ONLY person that can do a 450 Splash; Evan Bourne can only do the Air Bourne; Orton can be the only one to execute an RKO?! Which is funny as he is using a move (I won't say 'stole' because they aren't property) that has been around for years - yes, even
before DDP, wow, amazing I know. John Cena's 'Attitude Adjustment' was formerly known as the FU, a version of the F-5, which Brock Lesnar used and is a glorified Fireman's Carry Takedown.
I'm surprised they haven't had a "ChokeSlamOff" between Kane, Big Show & Undertaker
