Then what happens to all these guys that need the big push of defeating the monster Lesnar? If they were smart they would book Cena to get the Apollo Creed treatment in Rocky IV at Night of Champions, not being killed, of course, but utterly annihilated again. Then, whoever gets the push, will be Rocky at the end of Rocky IV, hopefully without the brain damage.
It's astounding. No disputing with Scott that the formula works and makes sense but Cena is the LAST guy that needs the rub Brock could provide. Reigns, Bryan, Ambrose - these are the guys who should finally cut Brock down and become full-fledged Main Event superstars. Cena getting his revenge does nothing for the company. As Randy would say: "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
To be Rocky 3 though, Cena would have had to not take Brock seriously and get his ass kicked as a result, then come back, train hard, and win a rematch. Cena took Brock very seriously here, he just got beat.
Anyway, if they take the ending the streak and dominating Cena rub and waste it on giving Cena the win, it's an insanely dumb move that just reinforces that they aren't interested in pushing new guys or creating anyone on Cena's level. There's a reason Cena is even less tolerable when there is no other top guy even close to his level. Have him be the one to end Brock's reign of terror (in September no less, not even a long WM build) and it's just reinforced that Cena is the only one that matters and everyone else is a loser compared to him.
Only way I can really see this working is if they have a genuinely competitive match that Cena still loses clean. Establishes Brock as the man whilst still indicating that he potentially has chinks in his armour.
All this talk lately about Cena being the greatest WWE champion of all time, though, kind of leads me to believe that he will get the win over Lesnar in the rematch to solidify that point. I really think that Cena needs to get the Hogan at King of the Ring 1993 treatment at this point though. Why waste a win over Lesnar with Cena now when Cena absolutely does not need it? Just to prove that Cena is better than Hogan and Austin?
I know CENAWINSLOL, but maybe they're taking a different track...
While Cena took Brock seriously obviously, it seems like he didn't really do anything THAT differently and his mindset was still John Cena, but slightly more serious. For this match, does he tell the kiddies "you might have to hide your eyes at times because it won't be pretty" or seriously admit "I got my ass kicked, I have to figure out a strategy to beat this monster"...then actually show him meeting with different people trying to learn a way to beat Brock or trying different training methods. And having him as seriously as possibly convey what he needs to do, gets EVERYONE behind him I think. Brock's naturally a jerk, so if it feels like he's really taking this seriously...AND ACTUALLY DOES THINGS to show that he acknowledged he failed, so he's trying to find a way to overcome him, then I think this works in spades. It's all in Cena's delivery, because even his "serious" tone can sounds really fake at time, so I wonder if he has the chops to do that.
If there was ever time for a fuck finish (cause you know that they won't job Cena out two times in a row) it would be now. Does Cena have a movie to film soon?
Or, if we're in coked out fantasy booking mode, let's have Lesnar make Cena tap out.
Did Clubber Lang's manager/promoter announce Rocky wanting a rematch? Just let Cena announce this during his promo on Monday.
Kayfabe, Cena's not going to run away from the fight, and, unless Brock kills him in 3 minutes (with the announcers selling that Cena is not recovered; not another 15 minute squash), he will have to get more offense in, which will lead to people complaining that Brock doesn't look strong enough even when he beats Cena again.
I don't think they'd bait and switch Cena, but not being medically cleared might be an easy way to protect him a bit.
Fuck finish at NOC, and settle it in the Cell. Or keep it going one more month with a Team Brock vs. Team Cena match at SurSer.
I'm sure WWE is just trying to think of ways out of having to come up with viable new challengers for Brock between now and Mania season, since the guys they're building aren't ready, and the placeholder guys they could have slotted it in there for a month haven't been protected at all (guys like Sheamus and Cesaro).
WWE really is like a kid who leaves his school project til the last minute and goes into a panic because they've got nothing. How long have they known they were putting the title on Brock? Seriously, they should have been preparing a whole fat stack of challengers for months now, so that they wouldn't have to go back to the rematch well so soon.
Unless the plan all along was to give Brock the title, build the rematch to pop renewal numbers for the Network, and put the title right back on Cena. But if that's the case, they're morons, especially since they've done away with the six-month commitment that previously locked subscribers in (and not even that well).
They virtually can't have an actual finish next month if Brock is going to be any kind of longterm champion.
I don't know Lesnar's contract. If he is wrestling at HITC, I wouldn't mind this happening: Lesnar dominates most of the match. Cena makes some comebacks, but Lesnar just keeps cutting them off. Finally, Cena fights back and makes a comeback. He has Lesnar up for a AA, but Heyman jumps on the apron, allowing Lesnar to take the advantage and then never look back.
That stirs up a debate. Would Cena would've won if Heyman didn't interfere? Or would Brock reversed it? Well, there's a way to settle that debate. Exclude Paul Heyman from interfering by putting them both in a HITC.
Not even at the height of Hulkamania did this company put as many eggs in one basket as WWE has put in John Cena. Hell, not even the Attitude Era was as Austin-centric as the PG Era has been Cena-centric.
Basically, WWE has formulated a business model wherein if Cena goes down, they are well and properly fucked.
Yep. Cena has hit the glass ceiling. It would be a crying shame if they wasted Lesnar's giant loss on him, when they could have built up someone. Nothing, and I mean, nothing is more counterproductive than having the Rock take the title away from him - which is apparently what Vince McMahon pitched doing.
"Why waste a win over [blank] with Cena now when Cena absolutely does not need it?"
We can ask that till we're blue in the face, but WWE has a fetish for giving the man wins he doesn't need, dating back to him delivering the first loss to Muhammad Hassan in what was basically a glorified squash match.
This question feels as old as myths of house show reports of Kane coming out with X-Pac in a DX Green outfit.
It probably will be a Rocky III scenario. However, WWE's big problem in this is that they think Cena is Rocky, not realizing that he's actually Apollo Creed, and that [Reigns/Ambrose/Bryan/Anyone Else] is Rocky.
The funny thing is, and I've mentioned it before... Cena will absolutely go down as a big star, but nowhere near the others' levels. Cena's like Bob Backlund if he sold a lot of merch and reigned for a decade.
I'd argue it's quite a bit worse than leaving money on the table. That's actively sitting a deuce on money and lighting it ablaze, so that even if you could put out the flames and salvage the bills, you wouldn't want to touch it anyway because it's dook money.
Well it's not like Brock needed the rub from Taker either. And if him going over was the plan all along then he never should have lost to cena and HHH along the way.
It's not a bad idea, although I hate the idea of a challenger losing decisively twice in a row and getting a third match.
Yet I wonder if, now that Ambrose is written out for a couple weeks to film a movie, and he'll no longer be around to interrupt a cash-in, if they might not give Cena his win back in order for Brock to destroy him post-match and have Rollins cash-in uninterrupted? Then you just have Brock return at Rumble, demanding his rematch, and the Authority's pants being too full of all the bricks they just shat to say no. Brock murders Rollins (proving that he's a full-on mercenary and doesn't give a howling shit about the Authority or anyone as long as he's top dog), and then you have him carry it the rest of the way to Mania.
It's honestly not a bad idea, but it would be a thousand times more compelling if we hadn't already seen HHH/Brock three times and gotten whatever we were ever going to get out of it (which wasn't all that great to begin with).
It wouldn't be that decisive though due to Heyman's interference. If Lesnar beat Cena decisively and then they had a HITC match, then yeah, the feud has overstayed its welcome and lost its intrigue
"I'M AFRAID NIKKI! ALL RIGHT?! YOU WANT TO HEAR ME SAY IT? You want to break me down? All right, I'm afraid. For the first time in my life, I'm afraid."
You're talking about a company that writes Raw on a cocktail napkin an hour before the show, you think they were thinking 2 years ahead of time when Brock jobbed to Cena? And besides, Cena only had the belt because Bryan fucked up his neck.
Makes me wonder what the reaction would have been if Bryan hadn't gotten injured, and everyone were hyped for this awesome showdown at Summerslam, only for Brock to just completely flatten Bryan into a veggie patty.
For me, this only worked because it was Cena, and because it was unexpected. I'm not sure it would have been with Bryan. It would have just been disappointing.
It was so he could still be viewed as a heel in the South. It's like how Christian would renounce his Canadian heritage when they toured Canada, and they would instead announce him as being from Miami, FL, where his residence is.
Granted, that could have been back when Christian was a babyface and was roped into Vince's paranoid initiative wherein "all babyfaces must be announced from somewhere in the U.S.," which meant Chris Jericho couldn't say he was from Canada (he was billed as hailing from Manhasset, NY, which is admittedly where he was born), and Christian was suddenly a Floridian.
Count me as one of the people that just would not find Bryan beating Brock believable. He's just too small, and it's Brock fucking Lesnar. I know it's a work, but at least try to keep it grounded in reality. See also: pretty much Rey Rey's entire WWE career.
Yeah, even if we're giving Bryan the MMA build of "hey, small dudes can still wreck a big dude's shit," I'm not sure they could have sold Brock taking anything more than a flurry of kicks before it started to strain credulity for a lot of fans.
Granted, Bryan is a smart enough worker that I think they could have had a hell of a match if they told the story of Bryan being a tenacious, hit-and-run fighter who was constantly trying to wear Brock down with nonstop offense, while remaining hard to actually catch. I still think that's a story they could tell over time, as more guys fall to Brock and fans begin to wonder who has the solution to beating him.
The ONLY way I'd want to see Lesnar and HHH wrestle for a fourth time would be if Brock just murders Hunter in five minutes or less, leading a panicked Steph to send Rollins to the ring to cash in the briefcase in a last-ditch attempt to take the belt. We'd get Rollins with a few crazy bumps and hope spots over, say, 10 minutes but Brock ultimately destroys him too.
I better see video packages of Xavier Woods training him then.

Ends the streak -> destroys Cena -> returns the job a month later
ReplyDeleteIf Cena wins, as the wise Caliber Winfield once said... money on the table, bitches. Money on the table... and you're leaving it there.
It probably will be a Rocky III scenario. However, WWE's big problem in this is that they think Cena is Rocky, not realizing that he's actually Apollo Creed, and that [Reigns/Ambrose/Bryan/Anyone Else] is Rocky.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, and I've mentioned it before... Cena will absolutely go down as a big star, but nowhere near the others' levels. Cena's like Bob Backlund if he sold a lot of merch and reigned for a decade.

ReplyDeleteWell the money's not completely wasted; Brock will probably buy a new tractor with it. So... thanks WWE, I guess?
ReplyDeleteCena shouldn't be wrestling Brock again so soon. Although if Brock just destroys him again, that might work.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe Bobby Roode or James Storm can find a new partner and form a tag team?
ReplyDeleteDOOK!
MONEY!
I think a "I created a monster and need to kill it" match between HHH vs. Lesnar could work somewhere down the line.
ReplyDeleteWell it's not like Brock needed the rub from Taker either. And if him going over was the plan all along then he never should have lost to cena and HHH along the way.

ReplyDeleteOther way around; Cena would start quiet then he's serious HE TURNS THE VOLUME ALL! THE WAY! UP!
ReplyDeleteRandom question: if JBL is from NYC, why does he wear a cowboy hat and come out to music that sounds like the Dallas theme song? I never got that.
ReplyDeleteThat Cena is so intense. What a good talker.
ReplyDeleteHe is a good talker, he just gets fed shitty scripts.

ReplyDeleteFuck you 1-3. ONE THROUGH FOUR!
ReplyDeleteFuck you 1-4. ONE THROUGH BALBOA!
ReplyDeleteThat could have worked before Sunday. Not now.
ReplyDeleteOK, that I can understand, but a stockbroker douche character (which is what JBL basically is anyway) would have made more sense.
ReplyDeleteBryan's offense is better suited to take down a monster. Rey's stuff is flying headscissors and hurricanranas and stuff.
ReplyDeleteBryan has kicks and knee strikes. I can see Bryan chopping Lesnar's legs down more than I can see Rey's offense.
Go watch Rocky V. It's a gem.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's the guy that barely beat Cena against the guy that absolutely destroyed Cena.
ReplyDeleteTaker and Cena hugging in the ocean would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Bryan's win was pretty damn decisive.
ReplyDeleteSo mean.
ReplyDeleteNext Smackdown game. And, I wish they had involved Nikki Bella in the lead up to Summerslam, just for Brock to be all "Hey woman! "Hey woman!"
