The Unknown Poster Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Hunter hasnt been able to protect anyone so far. But I do agree Nak will be. I think Vince likes him and sees the business potential in a huge Japanese star. Edited June 11, 2016 by The Unknown Poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I didnt get a chance to watch RAW beyond the first couple of matches last night but from what I read, Titus is getting a push so I wouldnt think he's being punished.

iso_55 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I just remember watching the Monday Night Wars on WWE Network when Chris Jericho gave his notice that he was leaving with about a half year left on his contract to WCW & Bischoff made his life miserable for about 3 months before suspending him with pay for the duration... That notion about O'Neill doing penance for grabbing Vince McMahon after his suspension popped into my head.

Goalie Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Yeah. But Rusev is better. I like Titus but him getting a US title match is silly. He is going to lose. He should lose also. Rusev just won the belt. Titus is fine. I don't think he's very over tho. But I like him. He's a good hand but he just for some reason hasn't really connected with the audience as much as maybe he should.

He's a good hand but he just for some reason hasn't really connected with the audience as much as maybe he should. Oh I agree. Rusev is tremendous. And Titus hasnt been properly built up. Before his suspension they were actually doing an old fashioned build for him where he would just win a match every week. And his reactions were growing. Then, if I recall, they had him lose inexplicably....and then the suspension happened. I think they are either trying to rapidly re-build him so he's a decent mid-card guy for the brand split or its just a place holder program until the brand split. Possibly they are "rewarding" him for taking his suspension like a champ. Working with Rusev at house shows and PPV will mean a few extra bucks in his pocket.

How many times have we seen different permutations of matches between the Money in the Bank participants? There is no must-watch factor. They are just killing time between PPVs. There are good matches but no meaning to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ya it's cool to hate Cena, I get it. I was being facetious. He's very good at smartly working a basic match but for the time he's been in the business, he's actually very poor. His general mechanics are awkward. But he usually works people who are either very good workers (AJ, Punk, Hunter etc) or guys who can at least have good basic matches where you can use smoke and mirrors (story telling) to hide it. I dont hate Cena at all. But his limitations are very apparent and while he is a huge star, there are guys who, with the push he's received for years, had/have the chance to be huge stars too.

Atomic Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I expect the Cena vs Styles match to be incredible at Money in the Bank ... in fact there are a few great matches scheduled. It should be a good PPV. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think Cena is probably a better wrestler than people give him credit for. He is probably somewhat restricted tho in what he's allowed to do. He's not awful but he's not Cesaro either but he's decent enough. Cena is a star cuz like him or not he has a presence about him. It's not how he's booked... it's just how he is. You either got it or you don't. Cena has got it. Besides since when did being a great wrestler matter to wwe. I mean Hulk Hogan was champ for years. Sucked in ring while guys like Mr perfect and Rick rude and steamboat put on the classics... hogan much like Cena put the asses in the seats.
