    The thing that boggles me about this is that there still is an audience that boos Cena, dwindling or not it's still there. And it's not just in places like Miami or Chicago where he was placed directly against hometown favorites.

    What I thought. I know I'm repeating myself here, but I think what's happening in regards to this, is that Cena is the face of the "PG era" and antithesis to the much-revered Attitude era by the "Cena sucks" contingent. It's the price WWE has to pay now for taking such a sharp turn away from the edgier product that was produced a decade or so ago. Whoever it is that ends up taking John's spot won't have that stigma attached likely because that segment of the audience will have dwindled down considerably.

    A lot of conclusions can be drawn from this, of varying degrees of accuracy. Mine is is that the "Cena Sucks" assholes just want to be heard on television.

    Watching the Greatest Rivalries program on Netflix right now, and it's interesting how Bret saw this match as a threat to his spot with Shawn stealing the match and headed towards the babyface turn that eventually resulted. Also interesting how he saw it as something that killed Nash's momentum as champion with the audience.

    What proof is there that Cena's not being booed at house shows?
  6. flyonthewall2983
    Part of his charm is that he can take it, too. I can imagine a lot of past franchise guys treating the inevitable backlash against them with some contempt, but Cena doesn't seem to at all.
  7. flyonthewall2983
    I expect it, frankly.
  8. flyonthewall2983
    Looking back, it's terrible. But, I always thought he had the voice for it. It would have been interesting to see him try it without the guise of being "The Million Dollar Man", and just be a straight play-by-play guy.

    I remember feeling, even at the time, that Savage was just wasted here.
  10. flyonthewall2983
    He was in the '88 one, too.
  11. flyonthewall2983
    I think this means you win the thread
  12. flyonthewall2983
    You'd think he'd be at least a little hip to be over that sort of thing. Sad.
  13. flyonthewall2983
    Actually he wore purple after blue, then went to pink before going back to the blue in late '93.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    Ugh, brainfart.

    Once someone is turned heel and is wearing baby blue trunks, it's a sign they are on their way out. One I can think of off the top of my head is Don Muraco, I think there are others. I first heard about it on one of Honky Tonk Man's shoots.
  16. flyonthewall2983
    Has anyone brought up the curse of the baby blue trunks yet?

    Parents took me and my brother to this show, but I don't remember being deterred by the no-shows. So, of course, we didn't ask for the refund and went anyway. We got a free B&W poster on the way out, probably from 1990. Papa Shango scared the crap out of us. Sadly I can't remember any of the matches on the card, but I do remember it ended with a battle royal won by Earthquake. Dad took us to this one, sunday matinee. Taker/Yoko had everybody going, and was really the first time I remember a crowd getting hot for a match. Sister and her husband took us to this one. I remember the last two matches vividly, because of the Dusty finish for the tag team match. And also what happened after the cage match. Nash pointed to a kid, lifted him up and took him backstage. Thought it was cool as hell.

    Turning Sting heel at ANY point is just wrong.

    Listened to his WrestleMania wrap-up show with Alvarez. Is Dave a grandfather?
  20. flyonthewall2983
    Jesus, what could have been. Did John and Leon ever square off? That would have sold itself, anywhere in the world. Especially Japan, a Godzilla movie come to life.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    I don't think I'm alone when I say this and the 92 match are probably the best Post-Crockett War Games matches. The earlier match had way more fire, great showings (and way more juice), but this had enough elements in place for a good 20-minute slobberknocker. Funk, Bunkhouse and the Nasties brawling like Hell, Meng going nuts on the outside and the entire team beating down on Parker at the end. Great stuff.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    So many blown opportunities here, starting with what happened the previous night with Luger babbling on about how he was going to win the belt tomorrow. On top of which, they must have been building to a Luger/Perfect feud with how the match ended but it never happened. Curt didn't appear on WWF TV again until next year's Survivor Series, by which time Lex was gone.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    Well, with Savage you'd expect it. Not the guest ring announcer.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    He could make headlines tomorrow saving children from a burning orphanage tomorrow, and I'd still call him one.

    Ric Flair/Jake Roberts Mid-South 11/24/85 Really interesting how they started, Jake giving Flair the DDT before the bell and fans still screaming for it half-way through. Flair selling Jake's signature stuff like Ricky Roma was awesome to watch.
