So there has been a lot said about the way that this much-anticipated John Cena heel turn has turned out. How it was supposed to happen at Mania, but was pushed up. We all saw Cena cut one decent heel promo and just repeat it ad naseum. We saw the eventual Wrestlemania main event that saw John Cena win his record-setting 17th World title and not feeling like a big deal. And of course, we saw Dwayne interject himself to push things onwards, only to not show up at the moment where his presence not only would have made sense, but was also necessary to give this limp dick feud between Cody and Cena some substance.
And then of course, we have Dwayne on that McAfee shithead’s show saying that he didn’t show up because he decided that he had to go now because his planet needed him… but made a point to mention that he would have done things differently. There’s a rant from Busted Open radio host Dave LeGreca where he railed on Dwayne for this interview that you can look up. It pretty much sums up some of the issues I have with this thing, but the only thing I could say about Dwayne is… nothing. Just fuck off, Dwayne. Go back to your home planet and hopefully die along the way so that the actual creative people can work on the creative.
There were only two big things to come out of Wrestlemania that I thought were worth a damn; Dominik Mysterios’s IC title and the surprise appearance of Joe Hendry. Both got big pops from the crowd, both produced memorable moments, and at least one of them is going to get a spot on one of those Top whatever RKO videos that WWE likes to produce every so often. Hell, I’ll even give a nod to IYO SKY actually retaining her Women’s title because I actually like IYO SKY more than I let on around here and was happy to see her get her time to shine.
Everything else? The Jey Uso World title win? The 17th John Cena World title win? The 752,089,827,615th New Day tag title win? The return of Becky Lynch for a random tag match?
Meh.
So this John Cena retirement tour that’s going on… I don’t care. Oh goodie, another John Cena vs. Randy Orton WWE title match is on the horizon. Haven’t had one of those in a while, in no hurry to save the date for the Backlash show that this match is going to take place in. Someone please wake me up when we get the nigh impossible match of John Cena vs. Joe Hendry at Slammiversary or something. Then I’ll start to give a fuck because Joe Hendry could potentially get a big rub and raise his stock for his eventual jump to WWE that’s going to eventually happen.
Dude, I was almost tempted to say that this man saved Wrestlemania… but that would be pushing it.
Okay, so that’s all I have to say about this John Cena thing. I’m shitcanning the Netflix subscription for the foreseeable future. I’ll use the last week or so to catch up on a couple PPVs I’ve been wanting to watch, but after that, I’m sticking with the classic WCW content that’s been going up on Youtube. Or I’ll stick with TNA, which has been fine for the most part. I can lay off the WWE viewing experience for the foreseeable… and therefore, I will gladly follow HHH”s advice at the end of that roast and fuck off elsewhere. They don’t need my viewership these days.
Also, note to self, cancel Disney+ while you’re at it. Now that you saw Andor and blew through some of the better Home Improvement episodes, you can dump the service and stick with… whatever’s on Prime Video, I guess.
Actually, hold on… there is that Dracula ’79 Blu-Ray that I recently ordered.
Yeah, I’ll go watch that.
Later.
