CENA OVERCAME THE ODDS AGAIN!!!! WWE > UFC says Vince

[JSullivan]

He lost at Wrestlemania, only fair if he wins at the next PPV. And I bet you that Brock doesn't mind that loss. He get to beat the shit out of Cena. That right there is a win.

Oh, I wont argue that, for sure!

I'm like most people here I hate Cena I never once liked even when he was was insanely popular a couple of years ago but i think Cena winning that match could be great for WWE it gives Cena the opportunity to change his character back to this Ruthless person he was before where he destroys his opponents and for Brock Lesner it could make him more angry now let him be the first guy to beat Brodus clay or Lord Tensai and let him beat them well to restore his pride.

Maybe lesnar lost because all the world was expecting a win from him.Great natch btw and great great PPV,maybe the PPV of the year.
I really like the fact that cena will take time off with a win

[johnnydropkicks]

lesnar lost but he didn't get beat. I had thought that this might be one loss too many for Cena but I too thought Lesnar would win for a lot of the reasons said. but Cena just couldn't take another loss.

but noone can deny lesnar dominated him.

Okay, as a PPV event alone, this PPV was really good.

Despite the finish of the main event, I really liked the story of the match, but it's a bad decision for business. It's even more baffling if Cena takes time off.
Sheamus/Bryan was really good and Punk vs. Jericho also really good.

Good PPV, but bad for business.

Santino/Miz - *1/4
Orton/Kane - **3/4
Clay/Ziggler - 3/4*
Rhodes/Show - *3/4
Sheamus/Bryan - ****
Ryback/Jobbers - no rating
Punk/Jericho - ***3/4
Layla/Bella - *1/2
Cena/Lesnar - ****1/4

By the way, it is also fucking ridiculous that they replaced Kharma with Layla.

I'd like to note I have one or two friends who have contacts in MMA and Wrestling alike, and a LARGE number of his friends (who don't watch Wrestling) were watching for Brock Lesnar. True story.

I can only comment on what I have seen, but I've seen first hand the impact that Lesnar's presence in WWE has had in the MMA world.

Most likely they're watching to see him fail. I have to agree with Kaymackian in that all my MMA fan friends and ones who were actively involved in the fight game who specifically weren't wrestling fans, hated Brock in MMA. They didn't see him as legit, despite his legitimate competitive background. He was so closely associated with the 'fake' sports, MMA fans, the ones I suppose you'd call MMA marks, really didn't recognize him for anything else. The fact that Brock was given amazing opportunities in MMA didn't help - there was a huge resentment there. I mean, it's not like he turned out to be Jon Jones. Even if he didn't get ill, I seriously doubt he would have dominated his MMA division. But that's a matter that will always be left to speculation now, isn't it?

just watched the ppv and have to say hats off to john cena...those were some hardcore ufc punches and elbows he was taking to the face for a wrestler...great match

Okay everyone in here saying Brock needed to win obviously doesn't know good business. Brock Lesnar is only in WWE for one year. Meaning that after Wrestlemania 29 he is gone. So why would you have him beat the face of your company? That is horrible business sense to invest top coin in someone who is going to be gone in eleven months. But Petey why not have Cena lose and then have Cena beat Lesnar at another time? Well you see because it ruins the credibility of Cena's character saying some guy just came back after eight years and destroyed him. Also it sends a bad message that everyone in the past generation is greater then the guys in the locker room now because you would've just had the face of this generation lose twice to guys who left WWE for greener pastures. However all of you are right the WWE should've killed the face of their company for a guy who won't be here after Wrestlemania 29.

You obviously have no fucking clue what the fuck you are talking about. This was such an easy angle to book, yet they fuck it up in 1 month. You build a monster heel big time up for WrestleMania and at WrestleMania you beat him as the pay off.
What is horrible business sense, is paying a guy 5 million dollar for the year and beat him at his first PPV, completely relegating him to just another guy on the roster. If you build the guy up and put him over, you might make millions of dollars from added PPV buys, but Vince obviously doesn't care anymore about making money.
Your claim about Cena losing credibility is also ridiculous. If he lost he would've lost from an former UFC world heavyweight champion, an outsider, not a regular roster guy. He could've easily gotten his win back if he was stretchered out or something, since he going away anyway. He could make a triumphant return and challenge Brock.
Maybe it sends a bad message, losing to The Rock and Brock Lesnar, but you know what? WHY NOT LET AN OTHER GUY BEAT THEM AND CREATE ANOTHER STAR?
Your last argument is non-valid since Cena lost to The Rock, who by the way, probably also is gone after WrestleMania 29.

CM Punk, Randy Orton, and Sheamus are all bigger draws then Brock Lesnar. If this was eight years ago you may have had a point, but now this is there ring.

Their drawing power is non-existent. Brock Lesnar has main evented pay-per-views that had 1 million North-American buys. When was the last time WWE had more than 1 million North American PPV buys?
They all draw worse than the guy who painted this Otunga picture.
