The Wrestling Thread Invented Canada! - - - Part 48

[Sith Scotti]

I think the fact that Cena seems to be questioning Rock's integrity so much will lead to having Cena turtn heel at Mania. I am selling a screw job finish and Cena left to a chrous of boo's so whatever it did it didn't work or its a part of his heel turn

 

[Kaleb]

I really think The Rock is going to put Cena over now. I think they will make it look good like the Taker Triple H match but I think WWE are gonna have Cena win.

Not sure how that will go down in The Rocks home town. The Rock will probably say John earned his respect after the match and he has balls after all and will shake his hand.

only for Cena to kick him in the gut, give him an Attitude adjustment, and complete his heel turn.

 

[Sith Scotti]

Yeah this has Cena heel turn written all over it ... He even insulted the crown during the promo .... He is embracing his dark side..... And I am still not sure the Eve /Cena stuff is over.

The wwe can turn Cena heel now that Punk has risen to be a top baby face

 

[Pink Ranger]

The WWE has no shortage of top faces now: Punk, Seamus and Orton, when he comes back. Dolph Z. can be easily turned into a top face on a dime (not that they should, but they could), and you can also lump in Big Show as a fill-in, just because everybody seems to love him. So the time is as ripe as ever for a Cena turn.

Is that Kaitlyn?

I love the rock but that felt awkward... although love hwat he did for that kid at the end... amazing!

 

[SuperFerret]

Cena won the promo quite obviously. The Rock didn't do anything aside from make himself look dumb.

WOW at last night's Raw.

I really don't think the Cena/Rock thing is a work. It was all going fine up until Cena mentioned his promo notes. The Rock completely stopped walking around, got up in Cena's face, and I think more than anything felt embarrassed. The 'motherf.....' at the end says to me that it's not a work at all. He knows he's on live TV, there's kids, it's the PG era etc, he knows he can't do that for a work. Cena got him, for real. The hard part now, if the plan is to get Cena to win, is going to be convincing Rocky to lose. He really won't wanna do that now after that......

Punk vs Jericho could be awesome, definitely. Jericho's 'smell the fart' face had me laughing so hard! Priceless! Their match needs to be 'No Disqualification' though. Punk needs to win fair and square. In fact, I'ma call it; Punk hits the GTS, Jericho kicks out. Punk then uses the walls of Jericho on Jericho, and Jericho taps out to his own move. Jericho disappears after Wrestlemania to go do whatever with Fozzy.

The whole 'feuding GMs' thing though is just utter crap.....

- During a new interview conducted for WISX FM in Philadelphia, PA, WWE Champion CM Punk had the following to say during a Q & A when asked who is least favorite opponent is:

"Good question. I always get who's your favorite opponent. This is great because I enjoy talking trash My least favorite opponent; does anyone even remember Elijah Burke [aka The Pope D'Angelo Dinero in TNA]? Oh he was terrible. He is absolutely the worst. He is absolutely the worst. Talk about a diva. Man oh man, sorry if you liked him."

 

[Sith Scotti]

Its a damn work . Cena is turning heel . If its not Rock will not job in Miami for him .

 

[E-Man]

I think the Rock just had an off night. It happens. Could've been a sore voice, or just him not feeling it. He's the best mic man in the biz, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Cena did well though, but the whole thing about the Rock not caring if the WWE closed it's doors is silly. He would probably have the same reaction that Cena would. They both would care, but wouldn't do a damn thing to help out the guys that lost their job. It's funny how he acts like he's some man of the locker room when he hasn't been using his status to push guys at all. Sure he put over Punk and Ryder, but he only jumped on the Ryder bandwagon to deter all the boos, and Punk got so hot that it wasn't like it was a Cena idea to put him over.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Cena is not turning heel and if Rock has already agreed to do the job he'll do it, one thing Rock has never been is a job dodger.

 

[Sith Scotti]

Cena is turning heel . He pulled a heel move by running out of the ring at the end to

first thing that came to my mind.

He didn't run, he simply left, I mean Rock attacked Cena for no reason after offering him his hand at Survivor Series, that doesn't make Rock the heel?

 

[Metallo]

Exactly. Cena left because he had just owned the guy who was putting him down. He said what he wanted to. There was no reason to stay. Cena says he has no respect for Dwayne Johnson (kayfabe) and why would he after he attacked Cena for no reason at Survivor Series?

They're saving the physicality for later. Why would they give that away for free right now with over a month left build up til Wrestlemania?

It doesn't mean Cena's turning heel. We may as well say ROCK is going to turn heel since he did when he went Hollywood in 03 and turned heel. Neither is likely to happen. You don't need a heel turn in a match like this.

Rock's not going to pull a Hogan and threaten to pull out now for whatever reason. These guys are too professional to do that. I'm sure they planned out the finish to all this a while ago.

Yep, no matter what anyone thinks of either guy they are both top pros and will go through with the established plan come game time. I think the match itself could have some real saltiness to it though for sure, just like how Rock and Austin got a bit out of hand at WMXVII.

Punk and Jericho's promo. Schooling in session.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I watched the Chris Jericho/CM Punk promo, and yeah, it was pretty brilliant. It confirmed what was already the case for me: this is basically my main event at Wrestlemania, the match I'm most excited to see.

Here's the difference to me between the Jericho/Punk promo and the Rock/Cena promos: there's a clearly defined heel and face. Jericho is playing the heel, and because he's always been an utter professional who isn't afraid to look bad, he was deliberately lobbing out soft-balls that would help Punk expose Jericho as a hypocrite and in turn make Punk look better. People have talked about Jericho being outclassed in this verbal exchange, but I don't agree. Jericho is just engaging in exactly what a heel promo is supposed to do: make fans get behind the babyface more.

And that could be a problem behind Rock VS Cena: because it's getting so personal, they are both really burying each other, and exposing the failings in each other's babyface appeal. It can make for exciting viewing, but there's a thin line between building intensity for a match and undermining the talent involved.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Just caught RAW...

I'm pretty much over this Cena/Rock feud. A Cena heel turn after beating Rocky is about the only way to salvage this at this point. Every time the Rock built momentum in his promo last night, he lost me some juvenile Twitter insult.
