Is it me or is the WWE just not original anymore? I just finished watching Raw and watching Lord Tensai steal a victory from Cena. Now I suppose in two weeks we get to see Brock do the same. Is this the best WWE creative can do? Tensai or let's just call him by what we all think of when we see him Albert is still as horrible as he was years ago and Brock to be honest has lost some of his mystique since getting whipped in the UFC. I want to know what happened to creating characters like The Warrior, Taker,Kane,Yokozuna,Macho Man, etc. I could go on for days listing wrestlers from the 80's but I wont.
My question to the forum is do any of these guys they bring in today feel like the wrestlers from back in the 80's and 90's? To me they don't come close and maybe it's because things just move to fast but Tensai is terrible and not believable since the UFC shows us that big fat guys generally can't fight (Roy Nelson I am not talking about you). I am sick to death of this generic crap we are fed now. I think Cena is great but when you put a guy like Tensai over him I have to wonder what the hell? I don't buy it. Brock I can buy but even he doesn't have me very interested since his run in the UFC showed that his "monster physique" can be overcome by technique. Does anyone else feel this way? I just want something to fit and be like now this guy has a chance to go somewhere. Until Ziggler is ready and gets his own WWE Title run I guess I will wait and hope all these said monsters go away.
How are they not original anymore? I really don't get this point dude. They used Otunga as a distraction so Lord Tensai could use green mist on Cena to pick up a win. Great way to put green mist over as a good move to take out your opponent. And it was done on WWE's Nr.1 Face. If that's not good booking, nothing is.
Can't say I was watching Albert during his previous run but so far (and especially since this week) I'm really enjoying his run. This whole Japanese thing is really gotten me interested and it seems they are doing good job at booking this guy.
If things go well I would believe he will do great filling in for Umaga. A decent monster heel character and a solid in ring worker. Can't go wrong here.
Oh and you are a bit off with Kane, Undertaker and Yokozuna. All those 3 are not 80's but 90's characters
. If you are really a guy who has been watching for 30+ years you should really know that
.
Tensai is horrible because UCF shows us that?
I don't think you want me to give you an education and tell about the difference between UFC and WWE.
I see you are UFC fan who might have followed the show on regular bases. If so tough luck for you but as described by the other guy not everyone is following UFC on regular bases. I sure don't (hardly watch TV). Sure I know Brock had a few wins and loses but there is only one thing I know for sure is that he proved all those nay sayers and haters wrong when he still managed to get that UFC belt. He still proved he is better than the other guy. Officially he was the top dog of UFC and that is what WWE is selling. Can't say I'm not buying it. It still an accomplishment most WWE talent won't ever achieve.
As far as monsters go you are probably will have to wait long. Brock will stay here for a while (dunno if I'm allowed to say for how long and if that would be considered spoilers) and I would believe Vince will always want monsters Like Henry/Umaga/Big Daddy V/Lord Tensai/Khali and so on and so forth. I can't see his fetish with these big men disappearing anytime soon.
You know what really gets me going is that Cena has been their best wrestler for all of these years, he's busted his ass of for the company and now all of a sudden because John Laryngitis is now the big dumbass hot shot all of a sudden he's losing? For what, for Brock Lesnar to come back and try and make a name for himself? I don't normally complain but I am tonight ~ I don't like Lesnar and I never will; he was too full of himself in the UFC and he's still way to full of himself now. He figures if he had stayed in the WWE that he's be the #1 man and that Cena would be carrying his bags. So if that's the case, then why didn't he stay? Was UFC that much better that he absolutely *had* to leave? Its so not original to cause the best wrestler in the WWE to start losing like he's weak when we know he's not; unless this is their way to showing the fans who always bitch about Cena being shoved down their throats that they are gonna let him lose for awhile.
What does this prove? Not a thing, I'm just tired already of Laurinitis throwing his weight around, making the good guys suffer and the bad guys puff out their chests like they're such big tough guys. RAW is not original right now nor are they doing anything new, this just goes to show that when they going gets tough they drop the ball ~ I hope it picks up soon, or I will only be reading the updates here on Wrestlezone since watching it just isn't an option right now.
I can't see how Cena has been best wrestler just because he has busted his ass for years. So have many more superstars whom by many might been better than him. Can't see how that is nothing more but well sold propaganda by WWE....since lets face it obvious propaganda is obvious.
Because John Laurinaitis has done what? Don't tell me you seriously think that it's Laurinaitis who makes the booking decisions
.
For Brock to make a name for himself? Not so much. He has already made name for himself last time he was around. He was the next big thing that Vince wanted to push as WWE's The Guy(or at least that's the word on the streets). All he needs now is to continue his legacy and make money. Nothing's really wrong with that as long as he gives the crowd their money's worth. Yes he is full of himself but I do believe as long as it serves the storyline it's all well and swell with me.
He didn't stay because he didn't like the tough schedule and the constant traveling. Also I do believe he really wanted to make it playing football(to bad it was a failure). UFC run was a success from what I can tell. Apparently UFC doesn't have as tough of a schedule as WWE does so the obvious answer to if UFC was better would probably be yes.
Cena is once again not best wrestler in WWE. I'm by no means a purist but even I can tell that. And once again he is not weak since I can't remember him being booked weak. You want weak booking? Look no further than WM 28 and 18 second "that was not a match" with DB and Sheamus. That was weak and a burial. This what we have now has already been explained as part of the current storyline with vulnerability after Rock vs Cena.
You just had nothing to complain about since it was not a normal match but extreme rules match which got interfered by Otunga and later green mist was put over as a big and effective move by Lord Tensei. Everybody wins in this one.
That last line really got me scared for your own sake. You are almost talking as if either Laurinaitis is the big booker in WWE or wrestling is not scripted.
Be my guest. No one forces you to watch if you hate everything in a show. But we all know you would watch because this show is still worth watching.
Even for Cena fans... this is the best year and so he has had in 8 YEARS!. He is part of the high profile feuds, NEXUS, CM PUNK, ROCK, LESNAR.
Winning or losing has nothing to do here, the guy is in the spot light and wwe is feeding him with the best names they can.
If you are a Cena fan, be happy, because the guy is getting the best. If you are not a Cena fan, enjoy, because we are in a period where we know cena can lose, cena can be beaten, and cena can be humiliated (kayfabe).
Nexus died last year and Cena vs Nexus ended early next year also. Cm Punk was also last year but I would assume you mean for over a year and not just this year.
Well to be honest Brock by far is more believable threat to Cena than The Rock in all senses of the word. He could really be the guy who would make him run for his current spot.
