Ellsworth already winning the tag titles tho.

I really want that to happen, in every interview he does he sounds like the nicest guy in existence. Him winning a belt at mania would be so cinderella. He thinks he got fired cause he called being on a dog leash kinda weird and fetishy and word of him saying that got back to the writers. Careful who you kinkshame

Taker needs to crawl into a hole and never wrestle again. Only saving grace is that Cena can actually deadlift the old man and physically carry his corpse to a decent match. Unlike Roman.

Cena says Taker shouldn't care about what people like you say and bury his pride. I gotta say, Cena bullying an old man who just had hip surgery into fighting him has to be the most hilarious thing a hero has done since he was on that Zack Ryder/Kane storyline.

it was hilarious. like, even at that raw 25 thing undertaker looked like a drat grampa and john cena is so loving desperate he's going off script and yelling at that old man and calling him a coward for not fighting him.

My personal favorite was the 2nd "Big Evil" theme

The first one was the instrumental without the additional guitar

And then added lyrics and stripped out the additional guitar for the 3rd theme.

Big Evil was Bikertaker's nickname during his 2002 heel run. Another one was Red Devil (his merch at the time had logos I always read as "BIG RED DEVIL EVIL" due to the layout), and JR occasionally called him "Booger Red" for whatever reason.

Booger is like an old rear end southern term for a big scary person. I don't know about the red part.

I dunno which story is more disconnected from reality, John Cena not making it to wrestlemania or Roman being an undervalued, underpaid employee who is standing up against "Vince's boy" getting everything he wants.

Couldn't Cena just offer to be Braun's partner now?

THE LIAR
The story within the story here is that Cena wants a main event match. He's only taken the high-risk high-reward opportunities to go to Mania. At any point, he could've said put together a tag team to challenge The Bar or challenged Miz or said "Hey, I'm in the battle royale!" or just pointed to a guy and said "I wanna fight you at Wrestlemania!" and he can still go up to Randy and challenge him.

He wants to be in one of the top three matches or it's not even worth showing up, apparently.

Be more believable if Cena didn’t wanna go to Wrestlemania but Vince kept escalating it to force him into a match. I’m John Cena and I’m sick of going to Wrestlemania since I’ve been to each one for the past 2 decades.

A delusional Cena trying to insert himself into main eventing WM would be a interesting storyline imo. So of course they will drag Taker old rear end for a no stakes match. At least Cena should put his career on the line or something.

Setter is Better.
Cena doesn't want to be in a undercard tag match because he would be letting his fans down. The idea that he literally can't go to wrestlemania because he loses matches is dumb but him wanting to give his fans a big-rear end match they deserve makes sense.

So today in Ryback is a big dumb idiot news, he went into Rusev's livestream and accused him of using steroids. And then got blocked as a result, apparently. Someone uploaded it to YouTube.

He's basically been doing that for five years now, is the thing. But they could still use that. Cena said in a promo to Roman "I haven't main evented Mania in five years, I curtain jerked SummerSlam this year." in response to an accusation that Cena holds people down. If they spun off from that that Cena decided "Hey, wow, yeah, I'm actually kinda sick of being on the undercard against tools like The Miz, let's go for the gusto this year." or it was based around the idea that Cena doesn't have it to be a main eventer anymore and he's not ready to fall down the card yet, those'd be valid ways to approach this story.

There were ways to do this story and you wouldn't even have to change anything about it, but this whole bit where WrestleMania is some mythical promised land is just another obnoxious example of the brand being bigger than the stars.

Probably all the steroids he takes. He has had quite a track record as of late in terms of being a terrible person. If he were booked more often (I don't think he's gotten any real bookings as of late since he charges way too much for bookings), I would put him in the running for scummiest wrestler of 2017-2018.
