2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

Is it just me, or is something a little off with this match?

 

The crowd knows that there's something going to happen with the end, and they're waiting for it to happen.

 

Striker: CENA'S FREE!

Cole: Uh, he's fired.

Nice job, Striker.

 

"Cena's free!"

"Cena's fired."

"Sorry. I got caught up in the moment."

Awful.

 

That's it?

 

WTF? He hugs Cole?

 

That was a bit ass letdown.

 

This Cena saying goodbye crap is way over the top, especially when you know at some point, he's returning.

That whole ending was a major letdown. There were so many other ways they could have made it huge.

Heck, they didn't even totally get the whole Cena joining Nexus thing with the shirt. Forcing him to wear the shirt would have been a visual stunner. Nope.

 

Unless they have something bigger in mind later, this is a huge, absolutely huge, swing and a miss by the WWE writers.

This was the perfect opportunity to turn Cena heel and there were so many ways to do it. They could have gone the slow-roast way, having him cost Orton, say "I didn't have a choice" and let him slowly go from being "forced" into making a heel call into doing them because he wants to.

They could have just gone balls to the wall with it.

Instead, they once again decided that Super Cena is too valuable a commodity (See the release of a DVD set last week and the refusal to make him wear a Nexus shirt, lest they lose merchandise sales) and put those sales over storyline.

This blows.

 

He wore the shirt in the final segment last Monday on Raw.

 

I like how they made a match for the WWE Championship at one of the traditional PPVs a complete afterthought.

 

Yeah, I know. He wore it for about two minutes. Big bleeping deal.

The time that they should have put the shirt on him was the RAW after he lost on the PPV and had to join Nexus. When they were showing him totally humiliated and having to read Barrett's statements. That would have kicked things up about three notches and made the angle one to remember 20 years from now.

I could see them not wanting to turn Cena heel right now, because I think there are plenty of fans who are now expecting it. They want it to come out of nowhere. I liked the previous idea, where Barrett would have won, then Miz comes down for his MITB match and wins when Cena counts him.
