Ok guys, use this thread to bitch about Cena/Rock all you like between now and Wrestlemania, cause it's gonna get old seeing it in every thread between now and then.

Just think of me as TPPW's own Dr. Shelbey, and thank me for giving you all a place to air your frustrations later :)

<font color=goldenrod>I was pissed off about Rock/Cena initially...not because they're bad performers or anything. Far from it. But I thought Rock/Cena last year was a disappointment, I'm not a fan of the same exact match closing out consecutive WrestleManias, and it's blatantly obvious Cena will be getting his win back.

But...the crowd will be shit hot for the match and will probably be a fun environment. I'll get to see an Undertaker streak match live, possibly against CM Punk. Jericho might now be in the fold. Team Hell No will do something fun. Cody/Goldust or some variant of that might happen. Orton could be a heel by then and way more interesting as a result. HHH/Lesnar, if it happens, has a chance at being much better if they actually get a chance to wrestle and not try to make it a shoot. And most importantly, I've got the luxury of going to WM without having to spend an exorbitant amount on travel, since I can drive there.

Just gonna sit back and enjoy the build up.</font>

The Rock winning the title = logical and badass. Cena winning the rumble to have the same match as last year = boring. I get that Cena is the biggest WWE wrestler today, but we already saw that match last year - and if all we ever focus on is Cena being the top dog, no one else will move up there. I thought CM Punk and Rock was fresh, and the right guy won...the Rock is hands down the best. Rock vs. Brock would've even been better.

The only way to redeem this shit is for the Rock to cleanly pin Cena at WM. Next night, since he is leaving unfortunately, which means WWE will be shite again, the Rock should hand the WWE title to Vince, say thanks for everything, and let it be that...a title tourney or something.

I get your point - but the Rock isn't around as much as HBK was back then, HHH, or Taker...Rock may not come back for a hell of a long time. So mind as well insert some other marquee match ups while you can, not just make the Rock's rare returns 75% Cena. I'm not saying pick someone like Daniel Bryan that won't be nearly as huge of a draw, but Brock Lesnar would've banked, Ryback wouldn't probably have banked as much, but it wouldve been a fresh opponent. Or Ziggler even. e

They didn't even do that with Austin in the Attitude Era, he was the face of the show but Mankind and the Rock were given full opportunities to be the top dog as well. Not blaming Cena for any of this, I think he's a hard worker and quality guy, it comes down to WWE just focusing on one guy solely to be face with no one else being able to get near his level. Ryback is the first guy in a long time it seems like WWE is giving a chance to be on Cena's level.

How is that not realistic? Best wrestler today. Gets the crowd on his side more than anyone, whether he is heel or face. His charisma and skills in the ring and mic are unparalleled...minus Hogan. Work rate isn't what makes a wrestler the best, being a wrestler is being an entertainer, and the Rock has mastered that. Even transcended into Hollywood because of it, and is the only mainstream relevant guy today minus Hogan again, who is considered cool.

Cena is the new Austin, but like I said, in Austin's days people had the opportunity to be the top face too, and Mankind + Rock took it. Now its not the case. In my opinion, it's a combination of WWE's fault and some of the wrestlers. I can't stand Cena's character, but he does know how to work emotions and the crowd, whether we love to boo him and hope he loses, or we cheer him on to win....he's not to the level of the Rock, but he's the only wrestlers today who is active who can even come close to even trying on that level. WWE's fault I already mentioned in my last post about the whole protecting him on the marquee factor...but some of the fault does go on some of the new wrestlers today. I agree with what Triple H said last year to HBK on Raw, on how they're a dying breed. You don't see that much heart and passion in some of the wrestlers today as u did a decade ago for whatever reason. Cena's a hard worker and has that passion, which is why he's in the position he's in. You don't get that sense from some of the other wrestlers, its too systematic almost it feels like.

I'm happy the Rock is the champ again, and Cena/Rock isn't what I wanted to see, but it'll be a great match up nonetheless. Don't watch much wrestling anymore, not that entertaining, but from RR-WM is gets entertaining and with the influx of Lesnar and the Rock, it has me intrigued. So enjoying it for what it is.

There is no one in the WWE that is on as close to level of talent with cena, as mankind and the rock were to austin. At least not from a marketablility standpoint.

Punk cut's great promo's and is great in the ring, but as a character, he doesn't stand out very much. He doesn't have that over the top personality that it takes to really be in that echelon that the rock is in.

Orton just sounds awkward and forced, every time he talks. He can't play a face to save his life.

Ryback obviously can't talk for shit. That's probably a part of the reason he has this gimmick.

Sheamus is nothing special outside of his look and accent.

There's no one around Cena, because they just don't have anyone capable of being on his level.

Ryback doesn't have great mic skills, but his character is simple enough to get behind him. He's like Goldberg back in the day or the Warrior....not the best, but if he can get the crowd behind him on just 4 words and to come out and fight, why not, he's good enough. I don't find him as entertaining as Goldberg though, but I'm not going to hate necessarily. I've seen worse faces to get behind...like Sheamus. He's just too boring and plain.

I still don't like it though when guys like Cena win the rumble, it should be used to elevate first-timers or returning superstars. Cena can get a title shot whenever without it.

I'll pose this to people who are bitching about The Rock winning because new stars haven't been made.

With this thinking Ryback should have won at HIAC. Punk had pretty much done what he could with the belt, and Ryback winning could have set up The Rock vs Ryback at Royal Rumble which would have been a golden opportunity. Would you have been happy with that? Of course you wouldn't. You're just looking for reasons to bitch because your golden child lost his belt. Don't give me that bullshit.

Dont mind seeing Rock as champ, his match vs Punk was the deciding factor in me ordering the PPV.

To the Punk marks, I just don't get it. He had a huge title run, he lost the title in dubious fashion, there's plenty of time for shit to happen before Mania. This is a typical butthurt PPV over-reaction. He's going to be in the main event picture at Mania...you don't give a guy a streak like that and push him out for Rock/Cena. Obviously The Rock was going to be heavily involved in Mania, he has dollar signs written all over him and one of the biggest names, if not the biggest name WWE has.

That being said, the end of the PPV was a letdown just because that I thought the match itself sucked the dong.

I agree that he looked great through most of the match, then, after the restart he put up little of a fight.

The Rock got tablefucked by The Shield, got the match restarted and put Punk away with ease. Honestly, it was some SuperCena-like stuff that would have 90% of the IWC up in arms if it were Cena.

When the match was restarted, Punk was on the offensive most of it....Rock hit a Spinebuster after a reversal from Punks LONG showboating and Peoples Elbow.

Emperor Smeat

I like the idea or theory of why Punk lost to the People's Elbow due to the symbolism of crowd getting their "revenge" on Punk who turned his back on them. Rock needed the people in order to win because Punk kept proving for over a year no single person could do it by themselves.

Rock winning the title probably wouldn't have been as bad if it wasn't Cena winning or at least had the Rumble been last. Crowd was really deflated once Cena won and it carried over a bit to the Rock-Punk match.

Vince gets his Rock-Cena II matchup but it came at a pretty big cost in terms of what gets potentially tossed. No more potential Taker-Punk streak vs streak match, the idea of Ziggler winning the Rumble then cashing in the case at Mania, and Punk-Rock gets dropped quickly in order to hype up Cena-Rock and/or the Chamber more.

Keep him winning matches to keep that momentum up. Don't wait til he's on a roll and decide to use that to start putting someone else over. It's ridiculous.

Reigns might as well have been made in a WWE Factory in terms of his size and look and is related to wrestling royalty so he'll get a million opportunities (should he need them) his current role doesn't really play to his strengths outside of "GAHHH *power move*"

in terms of the other two, I'd almost put money on Rollins being the "biggest star" of the whole group. I've said it a million times since he was signed to a developmental deal that he'll blow up like Jeff Hardy if/when he finds his niche. Reigns might as well have been made in a WWE Factory in terms of his size and look and is related to wrestling royalty so he'll get a million opportunities (should he need them) his current role doesn't really play to his strengths outside of "GAHHH *power move*"

I actually think Reigns' current role is fitting for him. He looks like a guy who would audition for the role of a bodyguard in a movie and get the part before he even opens his mouth. Him as the muscle of the group is fitting. I just don't see that as a role that's gonna catapult a guy to stardom and I don't see him working out on his own.

outside of the "doesn't play to his strengths" part, yah, he's been given a million chances/placed in a bunch of advantageous situations to truly look like a star. If The Rock or Steve Austin had been given the same treatment from day 1, they'd have been on top already by this point in Ryback's career.

Yes. The man has the fucking it factor. As is evidence by the crowd reactions he was getting during the Punk feud. People were pumped to see him as the next big thing. The thought that he might actually win the title and there could be the birth of a new star (though not pulling the trigger was the right move) was refreshing.

You wouldn't have gotten nearly the same reaction if Seth Rollins or Luther Reigns had debuted, squashed guys for a few months and then faced off with Punk. There's a reason for that.

I'd personally say this has a hell of a lot more to do with people wanting to see Punk get killed. Big difference. Check the crowds reaction at the PPV just gone. If you're going to claim that's a result of the way he's been booked recently, check Orton's reaction on the same show. There's a difference between it factor and WWE trying really hard to get people to buy into somebody as the next huge star. This isn't to say Ryback can't be that guy. I just seems he hasn't worked out quite as they hoped.

Yeah I'm kind of being a mark about all of this, but I think after getting tossed out of the rumble match, Ryback should be going for the IC title against Barrett, and then maybe re-evaluated for a WWE title hunt in the fall when business is slooooow.

He's jobbed on PPV 5 months straight and he's been the Shield's bitch. That "animal" aura and the momentum he had when the crowd was going nuts watching him take out Punk has gone on a ridiculous downward spiral.

You're turning into a more annoying poster than me. I posted a similar response in another thread and you ignored it.

He was pinned at EC after being manhandled by The Shield who are easily the best trio we've seen in a while. Big deal, it didn't hurt him.
He was the last one eliminated in the Royal Rumble match by the face of the WWE, John Cena. Makes him look like a fucking star.
He was the only one left moving when The Shield got the pin in the 6 MAN TAG TLC MATCH at TLC. He looked like a beast after throwing Rollins through those tables.
He was in the main event (not even pinned) with the 2 biggest names WWE has full time. And was put out by a debuting Shield who have still yet to lose. Not making him look bad at all.
And finally, at Hell In A Cell he was low blowed and fast counted. And got right back up and destroyed Punk.

You're a moron. Because I proved my point am I "angry?" Since that's all you can respond with?

They tried to do too much, too soon with Ryback.

That's where the Goldberg comparison fails. Goldberg's push was for more gradual; taking out jobbers, working through the lower card, picking up a Midcard title before taking the top prize. Ryback went from taking out jobbers to competing for the WWE Title. It was too early/not the right time for him to win the belt so he had to lose, which is/was unfortunate but ultimately unavoidable.

Dolph Ziggler has huge steam going for him with AJ and Big E joining him, which I thought was gonna lead to an imminent World Title run where heel retains title due to his "posse" most of the time.

Instead, he is being jobbed out, and the trio which had so much heat behind them at one point, are essentially Team Rocket and at the end of each episode they go blasting off again.

The matches were so good you forgot that you were a smark. I thought Punk had a chance to win, and the way the match went I completely went into mark-mode. Just like HBK/Taker and HHH/Taker sucked you in and made you forget how much of an apathetic smark you are.

Rock/Cena wasn't all that good of a match and the finish is obvious this year and I don't think the match will be good enough to make me forget that. I hope I'm wrong and they steal the show, but I seriously doubt it.
