In your opinion, which has been worse?
 
Well, what?

IC Champion 06-06-2007 11:47 AM

They are equally as bad, although Cena is able to hold onto his belt, unlike HHH who likes to lose to add some drama and then recapture it against all odds, oh yea, this was when he was the biggest heel in the business. God Damn HHH his 10 reigns in 5 years

Xero 06-06-2007 12:05 PM

From a political standpoint, Hunter wins out bar-none. From a "Why is this shit on my TV" standpoint, Cena.

IC Champion 06-06-2007 12:12 PM

Im agreeing with Xero.

Mercury Bullet 06-06-2007 12:13 PM

I care far more about getting that shit off my TV.

Politicking isn't inherently bad. A superman babyface that nobody gives a damn about is. That's why I have to say Cena is worse.

Atleast he didnt need to fuck the daughter of the boss to get ahead, though in all fairness I woulda fucked her too, If I had previously been fucking a man.

Mr. JL 06-06-2007 12:24 PM

I'd rather watch Cena hold the belt, than watch HHH with the belt.

Exactly. Triple H forced his way into the position he's in. Cena was put in there just to rehash the Hulkamania formula.

Me too.

BigDaddyCool 06-06-2007 01:03 PM

There are too reason why I say Cena is worse.

1) I'm a HHH mark.

2) Heels should have long riegns, faces should be the challengers. When Cena is champion forever, it doesn't look like he has any legit challengers (same problem with Hogan, they had to keep getting monsters). The only time a face had a decent long reign was Ston Cold because Vince was still in a high position.

The One 06-06-2007 01:24 PM

Cena by far. Hunter's reigns were at least entertaining and I felt like he could carry (and many times was the ONLY one who could carry) the top spot.

Also, HHH put on a lot of incredible matches while being Champ. Cena to date has put on, um, one kind of worthy Main Event, and that was ONLY because of the crowd reaction in the Ballroom at ONS II.

Though if you you ask me, Lashley and Batista are FAR worse than Cena, and miles below Hunter.

James Steele 06-06-2007 01:53 PM

The only arguments people have against HHH is that he should have dropped the belt to Booker T., Kane, and RVD during his "Reign of Doom". Would you really have wanted him to drop the belt to Scott Steiner?

I think that might be worse than Cena belt hoggin. All Batista does is lose, lose, lose clean, lose, lose clean, lose, lose, lose...yet he is the perpetual number one contender for the title.

Mercury Bullet 06-06-2007 01:55 PM

And as much as I hate the fat bastard, Mark Henry, technically speaking, would be a more deserving number one contedner at the moment.

As would MVP.

Destor 06-06-2007 05:02 PM

It's not so much as one guy "hogging the belt" is my issue. It's more about the the lack of supense. I would like to believe that maybe, just maybe, tonight the champ is going to drop the strap. Both HHH's run and Cena's need more drama.

Anybody Thrilla 06-06-2007 05:03 PM

Cena's not hogging. They're just not taking it off of him. Triple H was just absolutely ridiculous.

John Cena is actually worse from 05-now than Triple H was during 02-05.

Anybody Thrilla 06-06-2007 05:18 PM

Cena's not politicking to keep the belt is all I'm saying.

Cena is also the biggest draw in the company.

No, Cena just sells the most merchandise. Cena may technically be the "biggest draw", but thats easy to claim when you are forced down the throats and in the main events for the past 3 years. I still believe HHH was the biggest draw for WM22 and HBK for WM23 and that is not because I am a mark. People payed to see HHH or HBK beat Cena.

Rob 06-06-2007 05:27 PM

Believe what you want pal. You usually do.

IC Champion 06-06-2007 05:28 PM

And being the Biggest Draw in the company today is a huge accomplishment, especailly in the state the company's in with all the injurys, and James Steele is right, the past two Wrestlemania's the poeple wanted to watch HHH and HBK beat Cena, I know whats why I watched them down, and actually payed money.

Anybody Thrilla 06-06-2007 05:32 PM

That still makes Cena a draw, though.

Anybody Thrilla 06-06-2007 05:32 PM

Whether you wanted to see him win or lose, you still wanted to see him.

IC Champion 06-06-2007 05:38 PM

Yes, but you should only pay to watch people lose if there a heel, shouldnt you?

James Steele 06-06-2007 05:38 PM

Triple H dropped the belt to Benoit,HBK,Goldberg, and Batista. All of them had a meaningful reign as World Champion.

HBK's reign was only a month (to drop back to HHH) but it served its purpose of adding fuel to their feud (which IMO is tied with Brock/Angle as the greatest feuds of the current "era".)

Benoit got the super push and made Triple H tap at the biggest WrestleMania since X-Seven.

Goldberg got a short but decent reign as World Champion considering how limited his marketability and booking potential is.

Triple H made Batista.

What has Cena done? He has been carried up until his fued with Umaga. He dropped the belt to Edge only for Edge to get shit on weeks later. RVD fucked up, and Edge got the belt...ONLY TO GET SHIT ON MY CENA. Cena has gone over most of the biggest names the WWE has right now and in the most rediculous ways possible. At least Triple H sold for opponents and made them look like a million bucks. Yeah, HHH probably should have dropped the belt to RVD (but would you give the world title to a guy who badmouths your company on interviews?). He should have probably dropped the belt to Booker T. and/or Kane. Triple H was the best on RAW during his reigns. Everybody just is forgetting that SmackDown! during this time was amazing (SD! had Angle,Lesnar,Undertaker,Benoit,Eddie,Edge,Mysterio and an awesome undercard.) so HHH gets a bad rap for a bad product. Who would have looked good against that SmackDown! card when all you have on RAW is Triple H, HBK, Kane, Booker T., Scott Steiner, and Kevin Nash, and Goldberg. Everybody needs to realize that Triple H is one of the best workers in the entire fucking world. Yeah, he had help because he is married to Stephanie but that is the world of professional wrestling. Let's not forget than Cena and VINCE McMahon are pretty good buddies over the last year or so. Cena is a horrible worker, and his "magic healing" at WrestleMania 23 proved that he doesn't belong where he is. HBK does oversell but it fits into the match and HBK is still one of the best workers in the entire world at 40. You don't have to be WWE Champion for 90% of the past 3 years to sell merchandise. I promise you the little wigger children wouldn't stop bugging their parents to buy his Chain Gang shit and spinner belts if he wasn't SuperCena for 36 months.

IC Champion 06-06-2007 05:38 PM

And it wouldnt have matter who HBK was against and wanted to see him win, if that meant Cena losing, then that was a bonus.

James Steele 06-06-2007 05:42 PM

I honestly think that if HBK would have done the same program against somebody (especially somebody who could work) that it would have been just as huge.

Triple H was helped a lot by the anti-Cena sentiment, but it showed that Triple H has reached that level of fan respect to where he will almost never be a true heel again. Kinda like Flair, Piper, HBK, Rock, and Austin.

PepperCarrotMan 06-06-2007 05:42 PM

Cena is worse than Hogan's, HHH's and Jarrett's reigns combined in their respective companies.

Kane Knight 06-06-2007 05:42 PM

Actually, fif you wanbt to be technical, Trips' politicking left the void that's being filled in the main event.

So we can thank Trips for Belt hogging, and in part ofr Cena.

I think he's a tweener, really. For every person like you who paid to see him lose, there was a little kid who begged his parents to buy it to see him win. Either way, you paid, so heel and face really doesn't matter.

You mean like in 1996-97 and Michaels beat fucking everyone imaginable with that superkick and still was a piss poor draw as champion?

James Steele 06-06-2007 05:55 PM

What made all of Cena's main event feuds entertaining? I'll give you a hint...it wasn't Cena.

Cena vs. JBL: JBL being the chickenshit heel made that feud.
Cena vs. Jericho: Chris Jericho busted his ass and put Cena over like a class act on his way out of WWE.
Cena vs. Angle: Noticing a trend yet?
Cena vs. Edge: Edge carried this whole thing for a year and really solidified Cena's reign. Until Edge came along, nobody took Cena seriously against top talent.
Cena vs. Triple H: People payed to see Triple H get back on his throne. They cum'd to the idea of Triple H making Cena his bitch in Chicago.
Cena vs. RVD: Between the rabid RVD fans and the general hatred of Cena made this fun to watch.
Cena vs. Kevin Federline: *vomit*
Cena vs. Umaga: 5-Star Shitfest
Cena vs. HBK: HBK made this. Everything in the feud revolved around what HBK would do. The match was amazing until Cena completely killed the suspension of disbelief. If I were HBK, I'd have been pissed too.
Cena vs. Khali: KHALI is making this entertaining because he is so horrible in such a funny way.

Rob 06-06-2007 05:56 PM

Just to add, I think Michaels has been nothing short of FUCKING AWESOME since his comeback but the people wanted new stars. Michaels isn't a new star. Michaels was around when I first saw the WWF in 1989. The main reason fans left was due to lack of new stars and their favourites not getting pushed.

Rob 06-06-2007 05:57 PM

Yeah Cena isn't entertaining. It's all the marks who made him the 5th biggest draw in WWE history and the current top draw in house show tickets, PPV buys and merch sales. Boring as fuck though.

5th biggest draw? I just want to remind you that he isn't the only main event world champion in WWE. Undertaker, Batista, and HBK deserve just as much credit for the huge money made from WM23 and all the big ppvs. All the multi-brand PPVs do quite well, but its the single-brand PPVs that were doing shitty.

Get over the fact I like Bret Hart. My liking him doesn't make me blind to everyone else including Shawn Michaels. You on the other hand are borderline obsessed with this feud between them that happened fucking years ago. Actually, I take that back. You are way past that line.

The Wrestling Observer has quarterly break downs of all the stats and Meltzer keeps track of all this shit and Cena is the number 5 all time draw. Bret Hart is 6th. GET OVER IT!

Id say Cenas because he won the title at WM 21. And besides the 3 week reign of Edge in Jan 06 and the span from ONS 2006 in June to Unforgiven in Sept he has had it ever since.

CYCLOPTERSAURUS 06-07-2007 04:02 AM

I hate both incidents, but I hate HHH's more because there were more people that, in my opinion, needed and deserved clean wins against HHH to get over, or at least runs with the belt in his era, whereas most of the people on Raw right now I either don't give a shit about, don't need the win/title, or aren't anywhere near the main event.

NoRoolz 06-07-2007 08:52 AM

Triple H is recognized as an all-time great. If there's a match, say Triple H V Kane. Me personally I think that's alot more appealing than a Cena V Kane match. I don't know why I just can't take Cena that serious as a main-eventer.

He gets booed amazingly which should not happen to the company's number 1 babyface.

I preferred the Triple H belt-hog era, because I'd rather have him in main-events than John Cena.

NoRoolz 06-07-2007 09:00 AM

Oh, and to be honest and I'll probably be flamed for this but I'd have Randy Orton as WWE's top superstar over John Cena any day.

Like I said, the whole name-appeal thing that doesn't happen with John Cena, does for me with Randy Orton. I know his backstage antics have got him in trouble and that but I still would push him to superstar-dom.

Him, Carlito, Benjamin (with mic work), and CM Punk should be headlining P.P.V's in a few years.

Hopefully Cena will 'do a Rock' and pursue an acting career.

I don't know what you're on about calling Cena a Superman. He's an underdog! He may hold the title for long periods, but only because he overcomes the odds, even though they're stacked against him.
