I can see what he's saying about having trainers in the WWE who weren't big names themselves and how that might impact the guys coming in as they rise. Sounded fair to me, if you're going to be the best, you want to be trained and taught by the best, but that's not always possible.
I think he's gotten himself a little bit bogged down in terms of what he thinks a wrestling match ought to be when it comes to taker and HHH. Sometimes matches work well, not because of the innovative spots you include or the technical prowess you demonstrate, but because it's just a sensational spectacle. That match was a memorable spectacle, not much in the way of actual wrestling moves, but it told a fantastic story, and the crowd reaction during reflected that. At the end of the day, that's the most significant thing to pay attention to. That match was like the anti-thesis of a Dolph Ziggler match, not big and flashy and quick, but paced out and well thought out and methodical, grounded, intense and engaging in it's way. That's why people rate it so highly.
I also call bull-raspberries on his idea of turning Cena heel. I think Cena, the real life guy, internally probably has a big stain that none of the other mega-babyfaces of the past have had. He's been taunted and booed by an entire large portion of crowds for years, and I think inside, although he may not show it, there's a part of him that is bothered by the fact that he can't get certain people to like him, and there's certain criticisms that eat away at him a bit. He's only human. I think there's probably a big fire inside the real life John Cena that could be ignited and would set ablaze the WWE if they decided to turn him heel. There's certainly enough fuel from a storyline perspective, but I think it would probably be amplified by his real life feelings. I think he'd make an amazing heel.
And lastly, although I know this is personal, I've never thought of HHH as one of the 'great' wrestlers myself either. I wouldn't list him with Flair, Austin, Rock, Rhodes, Piper, Hogan, Sting and so on. To me he's a bit like Edge, very highly decorated but with second tier talent. Rewarded beyong his means, if you wiiiiiww. I'm probably going to get bad rep for that but gooseberries .
