Will Cena drop the belt before Summerslam?
Considering the low ratings and plunging stocks... do you think they will finally listen to the boos and have him drop the belt soon? As soon as next Monday perhaps?

Well, I assume they don't want to job him out to Hunter, and since Cena chasing the title into WrestleMania will work better than him as Super Champion, I say he's losing it sometime between now and Survivor Series. Probably at SummerSlam to Orton then Triple H will take the title from him.

Nahhh I don't think that WWE see's him as the reason for the slump. Although I used to agree with that thought now I think they need to take the belt from him.

No reason for him to drop the title before then. You don't end an 8 month reign on free TV.

It wouldn't happen but it would be a nice touch for Carlito to face off against Cena at SNME in a Raw rematch for the title. Well Carlito beats Cena for the title and then a triple threat match is booked for Summerslam with Carlito/Orton/Cena. I don't know how good that match would be or if it would help buyrates but it would be interesting.

I don't care when he drops it, or he he drops it to, as long as whoever wins it replaces the title with a proper champioship belt.

No. They'll blame the ratings on Jeff Hardy no showing. It's all Hardy's fault. God forbid Vince blames Superman. If anything he'll win the IC title before summerslam. |

John Cena should be blamed, though. At the risk of sounding like I have it out for the guy, I don't think he should be punished, or that he should be the only guy to get the blame, but if you want an on-screen reason for the ratings drop, he is the best you are going to get. The WWE not only hangs its hat on its Champion, these days, but it hangs damn near everything right down to Vince's g-string on them. Blaming anyone else now is just hypocritical. Cena losing the WWE Title would be refreshing, and if he loses it to anyone, Carlito is the logical choice. However, I can see a Triple Threat Match with Mr. Kennedy, in which Kennedy would win the Title. I am still of the mind that they should have an Elimination Chamber at Summerslam, with Mr. Kennedy, Carlito, John Cena, Randy Orton and two others as participants. Maybe Umaga and Jeff Hardy? Fuck, you could even have King Booker and Triple H in the match, which would increase its star power, considerably. |

I still maintain that Orton is not the man to be WWE Champion right now. King Booker should be the man, with Mr. Kennedy in the "Plan B" slot.

Not King Bookuuuuuhhh. Kennedy or Orton would be better right now. I especially like the idea of putting the title on Kennedy, and have him work a program with HHH on his return. We all know trips will have a title program and I think him and Kennedy would be absolute gold.

Dunno why they bother putting cena in matches with people, they may as well just have him fight a mirror in the corner while proper matches are going on instead

Orton (heel) gets cheered as the face...Cena(face) gets booed out of the building
Quote:
I'd push Cena/Orton kind of like Austin/Angle from 2001. Have Austin/Angle go to a "no contest" or whatever at SS, but then have Orton go over Cena at No Mercy (or whatever the PPV is called after Summerslam). If they can stretch the feud out to THREE months (Cena getting the title back), I'd even do this. Basically, here is what I'd do: -Summerslam --> Orton and Cena go to a no-contest -No Mercy --> Orton defeats Cena -PPV after No Mercy --> Cena defeats Orton. Now - I touched up upon this a few weeks ago, but I'll say it again. It is my hope that Randy Orton becomes the "inverse" of John Cena. In other words, I would like the WWE to push Orton big time as a heel, but IGNORE the fans' reactions when they cheer the heck out of him. So basically - even though Cena would technically be the face and Orton would be the heel, the crowd would react the exact opposite....vehemently (since they're not "supposed to") and this will make the Orton/Cena feud even more interesting. Having said that, I'd like to see Cena win the title back a month after losing it to Orton. As long as Cena is in HIGH PROFILE feuds against HIGH PROFILE wrestlers (i.e. Taker, Batista, Triple H,....even a returning Austin/Rock), the fans will absolultely LOVE to boo the living shit out of Cena (IF the WWE do NOT deliberately turn Cena heel!). If it was up to me, I'd even go as far as getting The Rock back for Wrestlemania 24. The Rock vs. John Cena would be fucking amazing in terms of crowd reaction. |

Fans might love to cheer Orton, but fans absolutely LOVE to HATE John Cena when he's feuding against big names. -We saw how much the fans hated on Cena against Triple H. -We saw how much the fans hated on Cena against HBK. -At ECW One Night Stand, we saw how much the fans hated on Cena against RVD. And of course, this all works like a charm because the fans are NOT supposed to boo Cena. Cena is a bigger star than Orton right now IMO. Take the title off of Cena to change things up a bit..........but yes, put the title back on Cena VERY shortly afterwards. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Whether we like it or not, Cena is far and away the biggest star in the WWE right now (for better or for worse). |

Like I said - the crowd was absolutely JACKED when Cena fought the likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Rob Van Dam. Put Cena against the likes of Batista, Undertaker, and heck...get Hulk Hogan back for one match. If Cena draws shitty numbers and gets lukewarm crowd responses, THEN you can say........"You know what? Cena is turning people off of the product. Lets make a change." Give Cena some quality opponents. Then make a judgment. Just my $0.02. |

Keep in mind that I don't watch much wrestling nowadays. I know that Cena is stale, but I'm not quite sure to what extent. Think about this though. If you have a guy like Orton be champ and HE is consistently feuding with non main-eventers (i.e. Lashley, etc.) then will there really be much difference? I still contend that its the WWE's faulty booking and not knowing what to do with their "characters" that are at fault......not Cena. But whatever. |

Anyone who actually blames Cena for what he's done is a moron. Truth be told, he's had some good matches this year. His character and his promos are what are really holding him back, and that all lays directly and entirely on Creative and Vince.

Lashley is a main eventer and is viewed as an equal to Cena though

The fans cheer Lashley because they are "supposed to" (for now). Trust me. If Lashley becomes World Champ for an extended period of time, he'll get the dreaded X-Pac heat. Granted - Cena is probably getting that right now (when he's feuding with lackluster "main-eventers"), but he's capable of so much more. Cena (when pushed right) HAS great charisma and mic skill. Bottom line? I still believe that when Cena is pitted against fellow big names, the fans LOVE to HATE Cena (as opposed to X-Pac heat). In fact - I'd even argue that the fans LOVE to HATE Cena (in high profile matches) almost as much as they LOVED Austin/Rock during their respective peaks. |

Sadly, as much as I like Orton, he isn't ready for the strap. Nobody has received the stroke that Cena has. The one monkey show just hasn't worked, and unless they really and truly just reset the WWE we're stuck. Maybe if creative could just have a clean slate without demands to push cena into the stratusphere, they could churn out some watchable shit. Whatever you feel about Cena, Lashley, Orton, Kennedy, Edge, or any other Superstar....they're only chesspieces. Creative is the Chessmaster, and we're the sad lacking assed public.
If creative stays employed, WE RIOT. think about it. |
