Heisenberg Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 For real. **** that. I blame Cena. I always thought Cena was hugely popular or something because he was in all these movies or something - but I noticed that recently all I hear about is people saying how terrible he is. How did he become so big if that's the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he become so big if that's the case? TK mentioned it before. He's rammed down our damn throats. Cena is hated because of how he was shoved down everyone's throats once Stone Cold & The Rock were gone. At the time, his in ring work was pretty bad. He was pretty bad. ECW's One Night Stand where he had a title match really showed how fans felt about him. There was a sign in the crowd that read "If Cena Wins, We Riot." It seems like his fan base consists of boys 12 and under, and girls 13 and up. Because Cena has become so popular with the "modern" WWE crowd, they changed it to PG and changed Cena's FU and STFU to the Attitude Adjustment (:doh:) and just the STF. Personally, I blame him for championing this new age of WWE and ushering out the old school Attitude Era (even though that's been gone for awhile now, I still miss it). With no competition and Vince still raking in cash, I see no end to it. Edited April 13, 2009 by SonOfWashington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaw Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 After watching Wrestlemania 25 again, it sad for me to say this but it was the worst Wretlemaina I have ever watched. The ring work with the exception of the Jericho V. Steamboat and Undertaker V. HBK was atrocious. Blown Spots aplenty. I really want to get back into watch it, but they really need to clean up the in ring work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really watched since 2000 or 2001 and I'm not sure what changed but I think once they got to the point that they had different wrestlers on different shows I tuned it out. This all seems to have occured around the same time that Vince bought WCW and the Wildlife people made them become WWE. I'd probably consider watchin again if they ever got back to material aimed more towards adults - although we don't buy the merchandise like the kids so maybe that's their reasoning. Also, that storyline where Mae Young gave birth to a hand was horrible and that may have contributed to me tuning out. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsBry Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's been said before but I'll say again, there is no compitition to the WWE. If there was, it'd be a better show, instead we get three different watered down shows. I'd like to see... Ric Flair as a manager. More managers of factions, so, more factions. Factions spread out through all three weekly shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titaw Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 the "ECW" show is just awful It's supposed to be a where the young talent can develop. The heirarchy of WWE as I understand it goes as follows: 1) RAW: The top of the mountain. It has the best stories, but maybe not the most technical wrestling. 2) Smackdown: It is where wrestlers come back from injuries rehab as well as the more talented wrestlers come to hone their mic skills. Best overall wrestling, not good on the stories. 3) ECW: Developmental program for young wrestlers. It aslo serves as the graveyard for older wrestlers as well as purgatory for those being punished (Christian). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 3 shows is just too many. I understand that have these huge rosters. But that just means they need to form more "Stables" so these guys get TV time while working house shows. ECW is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
