John Cena once again defied the odds, fighting off The Shield in the closing segment. He also floored Ryback with an Attitude Adjustment and stood tall as the show went off the air :
John Cena vs. Ryback
The Ryback heel flip and resulting feud with John Cena has did not ignite the wrestling world and does not seem to be heading toward Steamboat-Savage level anytime before long. In fact, the booking of those 2 staff shows precisely why WWE is as stale as ever.
Let's begin with Ryback: Since being reserved against CM Punk variety of months agone, Ryback has gone from somebody WHO ne'er lost to somebody WHO cannot beat anyone. The guy got some sensible crowd reactions and beat up some jobbers, on the other hand WWE wholly blanked on what to try and do with him.
So, rather than doing one thing, i do not understand, attention-grabbing, the inventive team reserved Ryback to lose around 732 matches during a row, together with his match at WrestleMania against Mark Henry.
Somehow, this loss to Mark Henry qualified Ryback for a world title shot. Fine. WWE most likely thought, "Well, he is turning heel anyway, that the loss to Henry will not hurt him." However, you cannot simply flip a bloke like Ryback and so shoot him to the highest of the cardboard with primarily no buildup any.
What WWE ought to have done was have Ryback activate somebody like Sheamus or Kofi Kingston. He may have turned on a mid- to upper-card guy, press him at Extreme Rules and stirred on to Cena at successive pay-per-view.
The means things ar currently, WWE has reserved itself into a corner yet again. Beating Ryback a couple of weeks when his heel flip can kill the character dead (well...more dead than it already is), however does one actually need to ascertain WWE champion Ryback? in fact not. nobody will.
So however will WWE get out of this one? it'll utilize the acute Rules conception to urge out of booking a end to the match. Obviously, you cannot book a screwjob end at an incident that has no rules, therefore expect to ascertain a tables match between Ryback and Cena. That way, Cena will beat Ryback while not promise him, and that they will stretch this feud bent on waste additional TV time.
John Cena vs. Ryback
Thrilling, right?
You can't take the title off of Cena as a result of you only spent a year building to him winning it. you furthermore may cannot beat Ryback as a result of that creates him a misfit WHO cannot win when turning into Heel final someone 2013. It primarily amounts to a different foreseeable end during a promotion filled with them.
I don't wish to rant once more concerning John Cena—God is aware of I've done quite enough of that in my previous columns—but the entire factor is simply stale and uninteresting. John Cena because the unbeatable, defying the percentages, usurping the planet Superman is finished. It's over.
That's not a criticism of Cena, though. This happens to each single employee eventually. Hulkamania eventually ran out of steam, and other people started booing. Steve Austin's hellraiser character eventually became foreseeable around 2002, and other people started dynamic the channel. John Cena has merely reached that very same milestone as a personality.
As much as WWE tries to oppose Cena's heel heat like individuals ar booing as a result of they do not wish him to win, that booing means that most additional. That booing represents individuals speech, "I am fed up this guy, and that i need a modification."
John Cena has primarily been the precise same character since 2005—eight whole years. Hulk Hogan had an identical timeframe however wasn't overexposed by hours of TV each single week. Steve Austin's hot streak lasted from 1997-2002, and he even worked during a heel flip.
Look, I perceive. children ar shopping for the toilet Cena teddy bears, and nerdy adults ar shopping for his hats and wristbands. Cena blows off dynamic his character as a result of he does not wish to prevent doing charity work or dissatisfied the children, but—let's be honest here—he does not wish to lose the cash.
With WrestleMania's buyrate apparently abundant not up to expected, i might expect Extreme Rules to be equally unsatisfactory. There merely is not enough interest in Cena as champion or Ryback as a heel to warrant payment $60 on a B-level pay-per-view.
So plow ahead, Cena fanatics. decision Maine out. Say that i do not perceive however the business works or however wrestling ought to be reserved. However, numbers do not lie, and at once there are not too many of us WHO ar about to be looking Extreme Rules.
