If you take a look back at most famous wrestlers they all had a very limited move set which they used all the time.

Hogan, The Rock, Austin.... once they found their niche they stuck to it. Cena is no different. Not only that but Cena has been able to put on a great match with just about anyone.

Love em or hate em dudes earned his spot.
thats what i been saying about Cena for years. he not too shitty LIKE PEOPLE CLAIM bc he is entertaining and busts his ass in the ring. the only problem with him was wwe thru him down the publics throat way to much. what they should do is only feature him on two raws out a month like they use to do with hogan, warrior savage etc on old wwf tv taping.

I think the real issue with everyone is they just don't give a fuck anymore unless they have to put on a big match.
plus vince tells them how to wrestle now, meaning he goes over spots and movesets with them on what he wants them to use on tv. its not like old days when they just go out and be them now they are being controlled on what they say and do.

Its like corporate america but in the ring.
exactly. there was a couple midcarders that was gonna get a big push but at last minute it didnt happen or was stalled for no reason. i wonder to myself sometimes why i still even watch it i guess bc my kids are so much into and i grew up on it so its like a hobby.


also i get the donkey of the week bc i had bought tickets for smackdown taping but totally forgot to go lol what a waste of money.

wwe really needs an offseason, have like a month or 2 off at some point in the year then during that offseason they can highlight nxt and make new stars, wwe has oversaturated the market with like 6 or 7 shows most of um you don't even know about
or better yet they should just feature certain main event superstars every other week. like have cena ever other week then like punk the opposite weeks. that would be better for business bc it will give fans time to miss certain stars. plus it will make the belts prestigious again.

honestly they should just go back to wrestlers facing jobbers most of the time. Kill Smackdown too, enough with certain wrestlers on each show if your still gonna have them appear on both shows.

thats a nice idea but ppl are not going to pay for shows if cena or punk or the main event guys aren't going to be on there, they might here and there, but the fact is they are trying to draw crowds, the offseason is more to help the talent who don't get time off, plus helping writers come up with shit for less show times even though thats their job and they suck, I just think an offseason would benifit wwe in the long run

it will still draw money though while a off season would be a failure bc nobody gonna pay to see them nxt or no name guys. they shit will be looking like a high school gym show crowd.

My weekly rant goes as follows:

Amazing end of RAW segment. The Rock really does have that "swag" to him that makes him second to none on the mic. I loved this ending for some reason. Bret Hart would wrestle circles around anyone in the ring which made his input that much better. Foley, Hart and Booker are true legends when it comes to wresting. (that is if you truly know wrestling from WCW, WWF to WWE). Cena comes in last compared to all those guys.

AJ and Kaitlyn can get it for 3 rounds and I'll recruit Rasan to join me. He knows what's up.

Triple H is truly "boss status" in my book.

Fandango hit that flying leg drop not only with height but perfection in my book. I know you all heard Jericho giving him directions at the end. "say your name then don't say anything, look at me" Jericho said... True veteran helping a newbie out.

Big E Langston needs some Proactive

That was over 438 pounds Ryback lifted tonight.

Who all heard the "boring" chant during The Miz and Wade match?

Too drunk to go on...


P.s. Get better soon Nature Boy

LMAO @ Foley being a better WRESTLER than Cena. I am no Cena fan by any means, but I do know Foley sure as hell aint a better wrestler than him. Of course Foley can put on a more exciting match than Cena by getting thrown off shit, hit with chairs and get cut by barbed wire, but in a standard wrestling match, Cena wins hands down. Foley is a glorified stuntman.

Agreed. I said "legends" when it comes to wrestling. Let's compare highlight reels. Cena is definitely a better wrestler than Foley but in terms of "paid dues" and "credibility" Foley by far takes the cake in every aspect from his upbringings, Japan and Attitude Era. Cena just can't compare to that.

Foley, Cena.... Its comparing apples and oranges. Two different career paths, two different kinds of wrestlers who started wrestling at two different times.

Love him or hate him, Cena has put in the work and paid his due to be where he is today.


I missed raw.... Is Fandango worth all the hype? am I going to want to whip a beer bottle at my TV when Im watching his match at WM?

For the 2 minutes he was in the ring tonight he was really aggressive and you can tell he's extremely athletic. Like I mentioned, dude hit a flawless and high top rope leg drop. I'm curious to see how he does in a full match at Mania'

Fandanjo is gay as fuck i cant believe there gonna have Jericho job to this chump at WM. Dumbest and wackest gimmick ever and at this point i dont care how well he can wrestle. What im supposed to wowed at a good performance by him at WM? Delaying someones debut match this long is just stupid. Mothafucka is gonna fizzle out before he really gets a shot to do something cuz of this.

As far as the whole Cena and Foley thing, Foley never carried the company like Cena has and i obviously dont like Cena like that. Foley had his moments but its really no comparison. Only thing he has over Cena is the amount of pain he is willing suffer in a match.

Rock and Cenas rivalry is not believable at this point. It worked last year but people moved on, shouldn't have waited a full year to restart it. Only match i care about at Mania is Punk and Undertaker and i know im gonna be disappointed cuz the streak aint ending. This has got to the worst build up to a Wrestemania in a long time

the ending of raw was super lame. If I wanna see a debate ill turn the channel to public access. If wwe is smart they will have rock beat him again, because cena is gonna get booed like he's never been booed before.
Bret looked hella old.
Dusty sounded suspect.
Shoulda had jbl on the panel
Mick foley just takes bumps. He has zero wrestling skill imo.
I'm not feeling fandango either.
Cm punk my favorite wrestler on the roster.
