Pfft, Cena already gets enough cheap pops by mentioning other wrestlers, like Daniel Bryan, in his promos, and sticking him in the Shield would be a pathetic way to try and force the fans to cheer for him. Besides, they are supposedly trying to slowly build Reigns up as a monster face, and you put Cena in that faction, he automatically is the biggest star in it, and Reigns would be a tougher sell as the top face they eventually want him to be. 

Also, who said Cena can't work or doesn't put people over? ???

Ehh...I thought about the Reigns thing too.  Here's the thing though.....traditionally, you can't build a monster babyface without them being a very significant heel first.  Rock, Austin, HBK, Triple H, Undertaker, Batista, Eddie Guerrero, Punk...even Daniel Bryan were all pretty major solo heels before their huge babyface runs.  The only time I've seen otherwise would be with guys like Hogan, Bret Hart or Goldberg.  Also, Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns are still VERY young in the WWE.  Rollins aligning with Triple H and Orton is a very smart booking move because this will SIGNIFICANTLY push Rollins into the stratosphere.  The Shield is still too young in the business to elevate someone even younger (I LOVE Sami Zayn btw).  I feel them pushing Reigns into a major babyface role might be a little presumptuous.    Who knows though?

Also traditionally....anytime ANYONE has aligned themselves with one of the 5 biggest names in the history of the business (Hogan, Flair, Rock, Austin, Cena), whether it's in a faction or a feud, they get elevated.  Hence what's happening with Bray Wyatt currently.  I just think it would be a significant shake up for a character that should have been shook up 5 years ago.  I'm still pulling for the 3rd man to be Ziggler though :)  They are completely wasting him.

Yeah, so this happened:



At first I was like "ah, hell no", but the more I think about it, the more I think it could have some potential. Kind of brings back memories of 80's tag teams that share the same gimmick.

We'll see where it goes.

Dusty was stuck with polka dots, he put that over. Dustin got this homoerotic persona, he got that over, so over he's been doing pretty much for the last 20 years.

Do not underestimate the ability of a Rhodes to put a gimmick over. Shit, Cody already got himself over once by growing a mustache and even sold some t-shirts of it!

Apparently John Cena is in line to win the WWE World Heavyweight Title at next Sunday's Money In the Bank pay-per-view.

It was previously reported that word from within WWE was that a heel would be leaving Money In the Bank with the title. During Monday's RAW, it appeared they may be grooming Roman Reigns for the title as they had him work his way into the match but that may not be the case as it's likely too soon for Reigns to have a title run.

Cena is going to pass Ric Flair next year at this rate :lol

I thought it was going to be a heel too, ready for Bryan to return and win it back. I think it's way too early for Roman Reigns to win the title right at the moment, so I'll be glad if he doesn't win it for now. It very rarely turns out well for people to win it too early. WWE is littered with mid-cards who all suffered that fate.

And do they really need to stick the belt on Cena yet again to keep pushing the merch onto the kids? Isn't the guy hated enough already? :lol

So everyone here hates Vickie Guerrero right? I mean, she was awful on the mic, super annoying, and couldn't act for shit. On a certain wrestling news site I frequent it seems like now that she retired, she's suddenly a likable person and has been liked. Didn't she redefine "X Pac heat"?

My picks for tonight....

 Summer Rae vs. Layla (Fandango as referee) - Layla

Rusev vs. Big E - Rusev

Stardust and Goldust vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel -Team Dust

Divas Championship Match
Paige vs. Naomi - Paige

WWE Tag Team Championship Match
The Usos vs. The Wyatt Family = The Usos

Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Bad News Barrett vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Jack Swagger vs. Kofi Kingston - I would have taken Barrett had he not been hurt, but now, Kofi, why not. I think that Seth and Ambrose will cancel each other out.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder match
Kane vs. Randy Orton vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus vs. Cesaro vs. Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena vs. Roman Reigns - John Cena...... I hope he doesn't win, but I see them doing what they think is "safe". I'll be rooting hard for Cesaro and Wyatt.

Predictable, but not surprising.

Remember 1993 when they put the belt on Hogan with his impromptu victory over Yokozuna even though it was obvious that fans were getting tired of seeing him as the champ?  That was John Cena...five years ago, and yet they keep putting the belt on him. :lol :lol :lol

Granted, he is likely only a transitional champ, which was needed after Bryan's injury, but still, this just proves how right CM Punk was all along.  The view never changes.

Pretty average PPV. Not bad, not great. Cena winning was predictable, although it could have been worse. A few good spots, but not a stellar match.

I was hoping one of the former Shield would win the Money in the Bank match, and I was expecting it to be Rollins. I'm glad he won, but having Kane come in was a crappy ending, and the match was not very good overall considering it had so many great performers in it.

So is Cena going to drop the belt to Daniel Bryan again? Are they going to give it to Lesnar? Will Goldberg return and apologize to the fans through a decent match with Lesnar? Will The Rock return to beat Cena at The Royal Rumble only to drop the belt to Santino at Wreslemania 31?

Jericho has reached such a status that he can literally do anything he wants and no one really minds. Since coming back in 2012 he's been jobbing to everyone he's been in a feud with (and I'm pretty sure also having a hand in picking the feuds) and helping to put over new talent like the legend he is!

If by that you mean, she's been busting her ass in the Indys to get to where she's gotten, then your statement isn't ridiculous.

Apparently, WWE realized their mistake and has ...."un-fired" her.

I'd like to think that Triple H's reaction (who signed Emma) to her being fire for a minor shoplifting incident while Cameron and Swagger weren't for their DWI was something like:

For whoever is interested, WWE is offering a free one week trial of the Nework. No credit card either  :tup

Seth Rollins appeared to legit blow his knee out at the end of RAW just now.  The ref threw up the X sign, too.  That would make Bryan, Barrett and Rollins all lost to injuries in the last three months when all were being pushed hard.  Meanwhile, John Cena is still the picture of health, as always. :lol
