BillThompson Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 That may have been the case pre-network, but I cannot see how MITB 2015 was one of the biggest shows of the year. Because it's still presented as a big deal, and it features a gimmick match that defines their booking for a large chunk of the year. Quote
Slasher Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I get that but to me Cena is supposed to be like Hulk Hogan of our time. I don't recall Hogan needing to evolve much in-ring. But I suppose his deal was turning heel and surrounding himself with guys that would run in and help him keep his belt so I guess everyone deals with that mortality differently. I guess this is preferrable. If Hulk Hogan did a Burning Hammer, that would be worth at least a star. That's funny to picture. And Man in Blak, I know Cena has suffered the disadvantage of being the most readily exposed tv ace in WWE history up to now, so yeah I guess his evolution is a necessity. Ironic though considering how his character on the face of it has undergone essentially zero change. So maybe I just have to concede that his story being told in the ring has to serve as the substitution for that. Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah, Cena has had zero character change. I hated that at the PPV he wore a Ravens jersey and did an insulting rap at the crowd while Bull Buchanan stood by. 😘 Quote
Jimmy Redman Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Well come on Johnny, it's not a ridiculous comment. Since he became a main eventer and stopped rapping his character has remained virtually the same, and that was in like 2006. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 For a brief moment following the conclusion of Cena/Owens it felt like the crowd was about to stand and finally deliver an adult male led 'Cena, Cena, Cena!' chant. I was all set to get something in my eye, for the second time that night. But it was not to be. Not this time. You just keep me hangin' on. Quote
