Common themes along these Cena metamodernistic classics: using a fire extinguisher and the Big Show corner chop. I'm not really sure what to think of the match. It's definitely worthy of being inducted in the list of meme matches, but it felt like a celebration of crappy overproduced wrestling more than anything, and as good as he has been in so many matches and promos this stuff does serve as a sort of reality check that a lot of his work has also just been not good. In terms of what made this work I would easily rank Ace's selling and acting (throwing himself out of the ring after the Airplane Spin was brilliant) and Michael Cole's enthusiastic biased commentary over the entirery of Cena's work. I did find the STF "torture" spots amusing, lord knows being trapped in Cena's loose STF is hardly the most terrifying thing that could happen to a man. I still maintain getting upset over stuff like this is naive but I am in no rush to seek out more of its kind now.
