I watched Extreme Rules Overall good show Lesnar pounded John Cena's face in and then Cena won.. SHOCK! AWE! WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS!?!?!!
To me the match booking makes sense and I'll get to that in a minute...
But first WHY DID THEY BOOK THESE TWO IN A HOT SHOTTED MATCH AT EXTREME RULES!?!?!?!
When Edge came out on raw and told Cena he had to win, that really was no joke... He just lost to the part time Rock at Mania and now was about to go up against another part timer in Brock Lesnar.... All the while you have Brock saying Cena is not good enough to carry his jock strap and that he would at best be holding Lesnar's bags if he had never left WWE...
The problem is? A lot of this is true... Cena was already looking like a second rate superstar by losing to The Rock... At Extreme Rules Brock beat Cena into mush....
People use the term bury pretty loose around here... But THAT is what they would have done to Cena if he did not pull out the win (by what ever means necessary) at Extreme Rules...
Which is why it makes sense that he won the match, He had no other choice, not only would it have made him look weak (he is supposed to be the pinnacle of WWE) so therefore it makes the ENTIRE full time roster look weak...
I'm not saying it makes sense or was the right call to make but with the situation that they placed themselves in it was the ONLY real play they could make without putting Cena in the ground (I mean I suppose they could have done a Cena's lost his Mojo story). I'm really hoping they have long term plans for Cena vs. Lesnar otherwise they just blew everything..
I mean hell they could have done the same job with Lord Tensi (less blood obviously) at Extreme Rules and then had Brock Lesnar show up and DESTROY Cena at Over the limit (Cena recovers from loss to Rock, Tensi gets to look strong by dominating Cena, but coming up a little short at the PPV. And THEN have Lesnar come in and just man handle Cena and have him dominate and better yet... WIN!!!) it just makes more sense that way...
Instead they took everything they had stuffed it in their machine and blew the entire load in one shot... Game Over...
Simply put, the truth of the matter is the initial Lesnar impact is what they were looking for. Paying him lots of money to be their puppet and do jobs, Now what they need to do however is place him with someone else and have him rip them into tiny little meat chunks so that he can still be as "legitimate" as one can be in the WWE...
