We were all getting sick of Triple H. That's why it was so good. When I look back on it, I miss it. I was heavily invested in any face coming along and taking him down. It always seemed like he was hogging the spotlight, being booked too strongly, etc. In retrospect, it got him over as the most massive heel I've ever seen in wrestling, and he used that to do some really big jobs out in the open to get a lot of guys over, and some guys even more over. When you're such a heel that you could make anyone to pin you in a match the most celebrated guy on the internet, you're just the best heel in the business. It also gave him a lot of legs. Long shelf life.
John Cena is a different beast to me. I just can't believe he's the best thing wrestling has to offer right now. But to make the comparison to Triple H, whether or not Cena is a heel, when my favorite wrestler came back and was going one on one with a guy I can't stand, I was big time invested. If Rock had come back to wrestle Mark Henry in a nation of domination unfinished beef match, I'd still have watched, but I wouldn't have cared too much about the outcome. Some of this is supposed to suck, because the easiest way to please fans is to have someone come along and "put an end" to it. It's age old, and it still works on smarks. Will for a long time. Cornette explains a lot about how he feels pulling things back and making them dull/boring/repetitive can actually be a good thing from time to time, and I agree with that sort of mentality. Unfortunately, it still sucks while it's happening. I'll just kinda chill and wait for the monster to come along (the next "Austin," if you will) and flip it all upside down again. |
