I actually. Watch Etna every week too me its more interesting than what wwe putting. Out right now AJ styles is the Guy that made me watch it he is my top 5 favorite Of all time also too say the rock didn't earn it is blasphemy what he did for the wwe. In 2000 while Austin. Was out is incredible so.

Yes he earned it, back then. Years ago. Thats when he deserved to be in the title picture. This is like if Hogan or Warrior came back and were suddenly in the title picture. Do they deserve it because of what they did years ago?

Put Cena over? The guy who is the face of the company? The guy who is universally known by wrestling fans for better or worse? They cold have set up Cena/Rock 2 for wrestlemania without having either involved in the title picture in any way shape or form. You know kind of how they set up HBK/Taker without involving the belt, or HHH/Taker without either being in the title picture. Yes the rock has an ego, yes he's feeding his ego.

I'm going to say something controversial - I'm OK with The Rock winning the title. Not chuffed, but OK. For now, at least.

The build up to the match was a bit wank and I would have liked it to have been over a longer period of time (don't even dare mention that this has been going since Raw 1000, 'cos it fucking hasn't!). I don't like the title getting dropped after a 4 week feud.

But as I said, I'm OK with the result. For now. If Rock drops it to Cena at 'mania, then I won't be happy. I've said it a million times before - stars of years gone by should be used to develop new talent and help get them over. Rock/Cena looks as obvious as anything, so I'm hoping that something different would come out of this.

Either way, Punk will no doubt have a rematch and for some reason, I can't see Rock competing in an Elimination Chamber. Something is going to happen in the next few weeks that we weren't expecting. I've just got that feeling.

What WWE is doing with the Rock is comparable to when RVD came into TNA and won the WHC...


But people will call bullshit because it's the Rock and he is so much better than RVD, and yadda, yadda... Either way, I think it was a bad move, just like I think giving the belt to Austin, HHH, Taker, Jericho, Brock, Mic Foley, or any of the past guys from that era would be a bad idea. Should Sammartino get a run with the belt, because I hear he was pretty awesome back in the day?


Also, the op might "watch" TNA every week, but if he thinks Slater would walk in and out draw any of their guys aside from maybe a Sam Shaw or Alex Silva, he's just slow. I'd put Christian York up against Heath Slater (both current move sets in the ring) and I promise you people would walk out talking about how great Christian York's match up was with that one weird ginger guy in leather pants.

I'm still chortling now.

When Cena wins the title at Wrestlemania and has a lengthy run with the subsequent rise in ratings and merch sales, I'll be sitting here watching the IWC blinking away not sure how it's possible, as it's not what they wanted or believed would happen.

Perhaps then we may get some realisation of how small a percentage we actually are.

So what you are saying is that John Cena - the most popular, over and dedicated superstar the WWE has at the moment - could actually be a WWE Champion that will be beneficial to the business?

I think I need to sit down. Common sense like that makes me dizzy.

I hope cm punk gets a rematch at wrestlemaina one on one and win or in a triple threat and win scenario could use his rumble win too challenge the streak as far as cena getting the belt it should be around summerslam

I didn't like that Godfather was wasted for a joke elimination. I didn't like the Great Khali of all people was in the Rumble. I absolutely hated that six wrestlers worked the undercard AND worked in the Rumble match. I like Cesaro, Rhodes, Sandow, Kane, and Bryan, and Miz is actually my favorite guy on the roster, but it irritated me that a lot of talented individuals missed out on the Rumble event altogether.

I actually would pay to see York v slater, slater makes people look good and York is convincing.
