Uh, why?

Please let Brock win at NOC. Please God,

Up until now I've really been pulling for and sticking with Roman Reigns because all things point to that he might actually be the guy they replace Cena with. But tonight has me not believing.

Cena is going to beat Lesnar and be the only main guy right up A)He Dies in the Ring or B}Vince Dies. And even if Cena dies in the ring Vince will just close up shop the next day.

Positives: John Cena won that was good. Roman Reigns had good continuity.

Negatives: Nothing everything was good.

I like having a positivity patrol, it makes me smile even when I'm seriously bummed.

Strangely I suspect I'm on the PP too, seeing as how I almost always agree with Foochs in some way.

Remember last year when Cena was in an elimination match vs. The Shield and eliminated two of them and was about to make the third tap out before the rest of The Shield interfered and caused a DQ? This was technically The Shield's first loss as a team as none of them had been pinned at all in 3v3 matches.

I think for NOC Cena is going to have a better chance but still lose in order to make Brock a little more mortal since we can't have every PPV from now to Wrestlemania be him killing his opponents (fun as that may be I think the crowds would get tired of it by TLC)

I actually have never really cared about the Wyatts; they felt too one dimensional and didn't have enough depth for long term development.


I'm pissed because Cena should be portrayed as a shaken warrior who is about to go into the hardest fight in his life and in all likelihood is going to lose, but god damnit he's not going to just walk away. He's going to make Lesnar EARN that championship. Cena shouldn't be wrestling, he should be doing UFC style interviews and workout montages. Then on the go home show he finally wrestles against...I don't know...Slater. And DESTROYS him. Tears him to pieces, because it's about showing Lesnar that he can dish it out and destroy just as much as The Beast.

and yeah, that's kind of what happened during this Raw, except you don't do it 2 weeks from Summerslam in Cena's first appearance back.

Let me repeat myself from earlier, RAW opened with a legend's panel that talked about how John Cena may or may not beat Lesnar, then Cena himself came out to say he would do it, then the show ended with him singlehandedly destroying one of the hottest heels in the company and then his brand new best friends helped him destroy the rest of the heel stable. In between a bunch of jobbers jobbed, the Dust brothers had a pointless heel turn that will not work, Nikki Bella got mic time, and we were reminded that Dean Ambrose won't be on tv for at least another month.

did something happen after he destroyed the Wyatts? Because I only saw him destroy the Wyatts.

It won't happen not because WWE doesn't give a poo poo about women wrestlers (they don't, of course), but because Mickie (reportedly) had a fling with Cena years ago that ended so badly they had to put them on separate shows before they finally cut her loose.

Who are hotter heels at this point? Rusev? I love the man but his gimmick is literally "America bad Russia good"

Orton never gets any sort of reaction unless he's openly antagonizing one guy

edit: I'm not saying that the Wyatts are the company's top heels. I'm just pointing out how poo poo the company's heel booking is.

Sadly unlike for SummerSlam where I was PRETTY sure Brock would win, this time I'm pretty sure it's going to be Cena's 16th win and the next 4 months will mean nothing.

The way things are going, I expect an I Quit match where Brock is beating him and then says "SAY I QUIT JOHN" and then loses on a technicality because they would be dumb enough to think that would actually keep Brock strong by not really losing even though it would just make him look like a big retard and not accomplish anything at all.
