Honestly, Do Any Of You Care About This Del Rio/Cena Feud?

[Alittude]

There is just zero emotional investment in this feud and I couldn't care less who wins or what happens to be honest. There isn't al that much to this feud it started from Del Rio cashing in on Punk but now it's just dragging on and now we get a last man standing match with hardly any build to make it relevant. This feud is boring me to tears and I for one can't wait until it ends. Does anyone actually care about this feud? Is there anything interesting about it?

 

[Nathaaa]

Nope. There's no real drama. Like you said it started with him taking the belt from CM punk so it makes no sense that he's not feuding with him. On top of that they don't wrestle well against each other.

 

[keehlnate]

Great question. My answer? I don't care. I believe Del Rio is in the same level as Johnny Ace, they are heels who gets little heat or no reaction at all. I find him pretty boring.

And I agree that there is no drama leading to this feud. Look at last week on RAW. They even put them on tag team with the commentary team. gosh. Who the hell would watch a match with JR and Cole on it? That's lame, and that's a joke. Honestly, I believe Del Rio is a joke. I don't feel like hating him (which a heel should), I just find him a waste of time.

 

[mrchanbong]

havent cared much for any cena feuds recently except for his CM Punk feud recently so no is the answer as well as Cena doesnt deserve it he get way to many title shots

 

[Barbedwire Ropes]

I am interested in Del Rio being champion. Sorry to make this comparison but no one cared about JBL's title reign for the first few months, but then people started tuning in to see how he would manage to retain it each month. Now, I'm not saying I want to see Del Rio hold the title for 12 months but I am more than interested in the fact that they are giving new people a chance to be champion.

As for the feud itself, no, I am not particularly interested in it but I'm sure the Last Man Standing match itself will be good - but with a typical cheesy John Cena finish. (Taping Batista to the ring post?)

Lets wait and see who Del Rio's next challenger is before we write him off. That is, if they let him hold it for a little while longer this time around.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

I'm interested. I think Del Rio will be a great heel champ, his reign unfortunately coincided with CM Punk's angle - which was bigger than wrestling. It was a bad start, but I'm hoping for great things from Del Rio. He does well in the ring, I love his promos and personally he's my favourite heel, just above Awesome Truth.

Also, I've begun to like Cena. I avoided it as long as possible, but I really give Cena a lot of credit, especially considering there's no person on the WWE roster as talented as him in as many areas (charisma, humour, intense promos, in-ring intensity, in-ring timing, hyping the crowd, etc.). His in-ring work is improving too, if he learns a couple more moves, I would be behind him more.

Either way, I am looking forward to this match. Ending Raw with Jim Ross making Michael Cole tap was literally the stupidest ending to a pre-PPV Raw imaginable. But I do have an interest in Del Rio's reign, which I've been waiting for since his Royal Rumble win.

I honestly believe John Cena wants to destroy Alberto Del Rio, you can tell by the ending of Raw last Monday. Haven't you seen the rage in Cena's eyes the night after Summerslam? He even cussed! :O No drama my shiny metal ass! He obviously wants to annihilate Del Rio and make sure he doesn't stand up this Sunday at Vengeance.

Is your television on mute by any chance?

I've seen Cena get much more enraged a couple of times like on Wade Barrett and The Miz. But he didn't go and beat the hell out of them. He just pinned them and go away with the win. Unless if you think the chairs falling down to Barrett was a beating. So this time I don't believe him anymore.

 

[HKnux5112]

Having the belt on Del Rio is a wonderful change of pace from the WWE playing hot potato with the WWE Championship.

I say let him have it for another PPV or two, help build-up his character. He will be a top card in 2012, so let's not make him weak in 2011.

 

[Defekt]

I've completely lost my interest in it. I can't even remember exactly why they are feuding, aside from one guy having the belt and the other wanting it. Bouncing the title back and forth killed it for me.

Vengeance is looking to be a pretty boring and uneventful PPV. The only match of interest is Rhodes vs Orton.

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

Yes. I mean, it's a "generic" evil rich guy vs humble good guy. However, it's still good. The smarks don't like it because neither guy is loved by the IWC (well, they love to hate Cena, but Del Rio isn't a net darling at all so the dynamic doesn't work as well) but they don't really matter. It'll be a good match and Del Rio will come out looking strong.

 

[Mercer the Ruthless]

I'm not too interested in terms of the build per-se, I am however interested in seeing how Cena and Del Rio will mix it up. There isn't much build to the match which is a shame since I think, while it won't be a classic it'll be quite decent. Del Rio is good in the ring and Cena still works his ass off I just hope they make Del Rio drop the title to Cena.

 

[Syn Dei Ath]

I honestly don't care about the feud itself but I care about what both men will be doing afterwards. I am one of the fools still thinking a Cena heel turn is possible so waiting for that, and as for ADR, I see him going places. Personally I'd like to see him go to Wrestlemania to wrestle CM Punk for the title with Punk coming out on top (only if Punk/Jericho, Punk/SCSA, or even Punk/Miz don't happen). No build, no real reason to care. It feels like a thrown together divas feud to be honest. One week build and we're supposed to care? Sorry WWE, try again. Here's hoping ADR can really build himself up again after he ineveitably beats Cena after Raw Interim GM Laryngitis and his goons take out Cena for him.

 

[conici]

I have absolutely zero interest in this feud There has being no real build up apart from last RAW I have being paying more attention to the SD feuds because to be honest Del Rio/Cena completley bores me and if what the main site has reported is that this will be cena's exit from the title picture so that means punk/Del Rio Which I hope will be a better feud I hope.

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

Nope not at all ... but then again this is just a filler feud so I can understand that I am not too excited about this feud. I guess, after this, both gentlemen will be off to better things.

Cena will start working a program with The Rock and Del Rio will start working with, maybe, Punk.

 

[Alittude]

Yes. I mean, it's a "generic" evil rich guy vs humble good guy. However, it's still good. The smarks don't like it because neither guy is loved by the IWC (well, they love to hate Cena, but Del Rio isn't a net darling at all so the dynamic doesn't work as well) but they don't really matter. It'll be a good match and Del Rio will come out looking strong.

The smarks don't like it because neither is loved by the IWC? Mate you are compltety dilluded and again your hate for the IWC clouds your logic. People don't lke it because there is zero interest or substance in this feud. They haven't gotten the crowd emotionally invested in this feud one bit and it's really a nothing feud with no real reason apart from the belt being on the line. Del Rio is not that over so the mainstream people obviously aren't too excited for this feud either. Now that it's a last man standing match it just doesn't mean anything because there is not enough build for this match to be really relevant. Remember Orton and Christian's No Holds Barred match had a massive build up that all led to that match and it was perfect. There is no reason for a Last Man Standing match between these two as they don't have a true reason to hate it eachother with no backstory or anything apart from Cena being angered by the cash in and that was ages ago now.

 

[berlinbrawler]

I've been trying to can the negativity lately, but yes, this feud fails miserably at holding my interest. It's like CM Punk put it a while back (paraphrasing): "Oh wow, look, John Cena wants another title match."

Cena is trying his best to appear really mad at Del Rio and Del Rio has been upping his aggressive side of late, so it's not as if they're not trying. But something between the two just doesn't click. Of course the fact that the WWE is pumping out a PPV every 45 minutes lately doesn't help at all.

Cena is stale, Alberto is still a little green, their chemistry is bad and there is no time for a proper build up. That's some bad mojo.

 

[Dragonslayer]

I'm not too interested in this feud either. The problem is, all the signs are on Del Rio dropping the belt to Cena yet again within a very short amount of time - because unless there is some MAJOR outside interference that costs Cena the match, I wouldn't bet my money on Del Rio defeating Cena, least of all in a freakin' Last Man Standing match, a type of match that just literally begs to have John Cena win.

It would be interesting, of course, if they could involve Cena and Del Rio into the conspiracy/Johnny Ace/Triple H/CM Punk umbrella angle again, if for example Kevin Nash were to appear and cost Cena the match... but on the other hand, that would probably make the angle even more convoluted than it already is, and even harder to follow...

But at the end of the day, it would probably be more interesting than just keep Del Rio and Cena handing one another the belt on a bi-weekly basis... Hm, this feud just isn't doing much for me at the moment.

Something HAS to happen, by interference or Del Rio clocking cena with a chair while the referee wasn't looking, adding to his "heat".

If Cena does get the belt back, and becomes the 13 time Champion, I wouldn't doubt more people would stop watching WWE altogether. Not bashing anybody here, but it's nothing new, ya know?

 

[Ellye]

Del Rio is very talented, but his current gimmick and storylines build zero heat.

Heck, the guy is feuding with John Cena and still nobody cares. Cena usually makes any heel he feuds against gain a lot of heat, but this isn't working with Del Rio.

I don't care about this storyline. Del Rio wasn't ready to be WWE Champion, he has no heat at all, almost no one in the live crowd cares about him.

 

[Azane]

I feel as if this feud is just a vehicle to get Cena his 20th World title reign.

Del Rio couldn't get heat in Mexico City no matter what he did(It's amazing how many people think him not getting boo'd when he's like a national hero there means he's a bad heel), so having that be his go home show to the PPV wasn't exactly a fair representation. I love ADR's style and gimmick, and I think he plays dirty enough to be a top heel anytime. I actually have not been deeply interested in any 1v1 feuds with Cena for a while (blah blah typical IWC response, but he really is boring at the ME level after hot potatoing the title around trying to catch Ric Flair)

ADR's feuds outside of the titles have been excellent, his Rey Mysterio schtick was great, he did well with Christian and he did a really slick job of drawing heat off Edge's retirement, and he's had a few other fun little feuds. His feuds involving Juan Cena have been lackluster, and I think it's more to do with Cena/ADR having little to no chemistry. WWE's solution will prolly be to bury ADR and give Cena World title #13(Jesus), so we can see him feud with Punk again.

As for how the match plays out, Del Rio isn't a "Knockout" kind of guy, so I don't see him knocking Cena down for 10s without something foreign, if ADR pulls it off, it's going to involve Lauranitis, or a car.

If Cena win's, it'll be a Shoulder tackle, a back drop suplex, a You can't see me, and an Attitude Adjustment. Sorry, spoilers on every Cena match.

The only thing that this feud has made me think, is I can't get Batista saying "Duct tape? really?" out of my head.

 

[rocksaviour]

This feud should be happening now since Punk was and is tied up with whatever Triple H is in, be it against each other or teaming together.

But as a feud it isn't going to win feud of the year, if they really wanted to give Cena the title in the middle of it they should of had Del Rio retain at NOC (1st defence) and then lost it at HIAC either in the Triple Threat (Punk/Cena have a No Contest) or lost it in a one-on-one. That gives Cena another title win and then have Del Rio regain the title at Vengeance really to lead a team at SS and move onto feuding with someone else whilst Cena is involved with The Rock.

One thing I want to see after Sunday is having Cena sell the beating for a couple of weeks!!!

 

[Dusty Roids]

I am very curious what happens after this match. We all know Cena´s official rematch clause is over then. What´s next for Cena? AndI think Del Rio is still gonna be champion. After Cena's match, hopefully Punk will get a shot at the gold again! I don't see anyone else besides Punk beating DelRio for the championship.

 

[Viggo]

The LMS match at Vengeance will be good because Cena is usually good in that type of match. I couldn't care less about the feud, though. Cena will lose, and this will put him out of the title picture until Mania is over, hopefully. I'm pleased for that reason alone. It's a throw-away rematch clause match to get Cena out of the way. I'm looking forward to a Punk/Del Rio feud that will probably go until the Rumble. On a side note, I too think the Raw Main Event was a joke. When Raw goes outside the US, the program is usually very solid, but not last night. Please WWE, stop putting commentators and other non/wrestlers in matches.

 

[King_Kong_Brody]

Nope can't say I do. Del Rio is as generic a heel as I've seen in a long time. Cena's feuds are all pretty much the same, opponent has title, Cena wants title, Cena makes lame immature jokes up until he gets title back.
