Here's another response from him.

Now Sheamus didn't get over from facing Cena. He got a push...but not over. It was too much, too soon and it didn't work. Neither with the fans nor with creative. Orton... and Edge were during the revolution against Cena and ANYONE that was against Cena got over with us marks but not with majority of WWE fans or again, with creative. Orton and Edge never were put over at the ends of their respective rivalries with Cena. Even Michaels. (yeah he's HBK but he didn't get over in the rivalry). The Nexus didn't get put over, Del Rio didn't get over and Punk wasn't supposed to get over. Again he layed down for a 3 count but they never got over cause he NEVER looked weak.

Is Rock vs. HBK the one feud that you wished would happen that never did? Or top the list if you have one?

I don't have a list, but it would be one of WWE's dream matches.

1. Sheamus isn't Cena's responsibility.

2. Yes Sheamus did.

3. There was a revolution against him?

4. No heel ever wins in the end. That's how wrestling works.

5. The Nexus got put over harder than any heel group in a long time.

6. Del Rio beat Cena in Cena's unbeatable match.

7. Punk wasn't supposed to get over? They gave him a mic and had one of the most intriguing storylines in years and he wasn't supposed to get over?

This guy is one of the Cena haters that you can argue with until you're blue in the face and he's not going to give in because he doesn't want logic. he wants to complain about Cena.

 

[PlayTheGame]

would you say that cena was "stale" (overused term, I know) in the late 2000's?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah to a degree but not as bad as everyone says he is.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

What is your opinion on Santino Marella?

 

[klunderbunker]

He's fine where he is as everyone seems to love him. As long as he doesn't get shoved down our throats it'll be ok.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

If you were to die tomorrow and be allowed to watch any 5 matches (this is the stipulation to your last day), which ones would they be? Why?

 

[klunderbunker]

Inoki vs. Saito - Island Deathmatch
The latest Cibernetico match from Chikara
Last Battle of Atlanta
Shawn vs. Shelton - May 2, 2005
The Hardcore Title match which ran for about 4 years. Since it was defended 24/7, technically it was one long match that ran for years.

I like what they've been doing with John Cena for the past few months. He seems like a more sympathetic face due to having actual struggles against opponents who seemed capable of defeating him, such as Brock Lesnar and The Rock. Even facing Laurinaitis would, in a kayfabe sense, be a challenge for him, the same way facing Vince McMahon with Armando Estrada and UMANGA (because Regal says it best) was a challenge.

WWE is attempting to push Cena to that legendary status by having him face real-feeling challenges instead of putting down jobbers or maybe just doing a very slight job to the occasional rising main eventers. They're pushing him to that final stage of a wrestler's legacy within an industry, whereas Punk and Bryan should take the reigns as the top main eventers in the traditional sense, the world title guys. One day, I think, Cena will be putting over guys like Punk and Bryan at WrestleMania, the same way Triple H, who was already a legend by then, put over Cena when Cena was just starting to become "the man." It's a change.

I LIKE CHAAAAAAANGE!

Do you agree?

 

[klunderbunker]

Cena's been a legend for years now.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Cena's been a legend for years now.

I don't know KB, I think that's debatable. He's certainly had a legendary career, but as far as booking goes, there's a difference between how a top main eventer is booked and how a "legend" is booked.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. He's a legend. People just don't want to admit it.

 

[SD619]

Do you think that Ric Flair would make a good commentator?

 

[klunderbunker]

Possibly, but I'm not sure how well he'd be able to focus on a match.

 

[Remix]

At what point does someone become a legend?

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't think there's a point where it happens. I think you know once they are though.

 

[Lowdown]

Who are some of your favorite wrestlers that probably don't get a lot of mention among IWC or sites in general?

 

[klunderbunker]

Tito Santana never gets the recognition he deserves. Brad Armstrong was pretty good.

 

[Lowdown]

Righteous

Thoughts on John Cena vs. Batista as a feud and their matches?

 

[Diet Soda]

What's with WWE.com's current Sting fetish?

 

[Martin Gabriel]

What is your prediction now that the World title match is a fatal 4 way between Orton, Sheamus, Jericho, and Del Rio?

 

[klunderbunker]

Thoughts on John Cena vs. Batista as a feud and their matches?

They had a great big match feel to them and were great matches.

What's with WWE.com's current Sting fetish?

They own everything so why not?

What is your prediction now that the World title match is a fatal 4 way between Orton, Sheamus, Jericho, and Del Rio?

A much more entertaining match, probably with Sheamus retaining.

 

[Diet Soda]

They own everything so why not?

True, but why right now? It's a bit flirtatious, isn't it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not at all. They have all kinds of stuff like that with people they don't have at the moment over the years.
