Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted December 18, 2003 Not sure if this has been posted yet or not. In the Holiday 2003 issue of Raw magazine, I came across something interesting in "The Informer" section. It says the following: "From the executive floor, we've received WORD that Eric Bischoff believes that he has developed a new PROTOTYPE for success on Raw. We're not quite sure of the details, but Bischoff says he'd bet his LIFE that a deal can be done." This is probably nothing more than something made up to fill his page with, but I figured it was probably worth noting, just incase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2003 If it happens, it's easy to see why Triple H needs another face he can destory and the later time slot and the fact that it is on cable might allow Cena some leighway with his raps Personally though, I don't want him within 10 miles of RAW. The thought of Cena feuding with Orton over the IC title just makes me ill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chazz 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2003 I always thought Cena's act would be better suited for The Raw atmosphere anyways. I.E. more focus on Entertainment than Sport. However If Cena does jump to Raw, RVD should jump to Smackdown! to balance It all out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Goodear Report post Posted December 19, 2003 Yeah because who wouldn't want to take one of the actual over acts on Smackdown and move it over to the other show? The 'wrestling' show is crap right now other than Brock Lesnar's angles and people want to move Cena? It defies description. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he ever got anything right, it must've been through sheer luck (because, god forbid the WWF/WWE has ever booked ahead of time for the past 5 years).

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2003 No, John Cena is great both in the ring and on the mic. Gimmick aside, he is much like Shawn Michaels. He is a breed apart. There's just something about him... Let's not go nuts... Cena is average in the ring. He can work a brawl, and he can put on good matches with the right opponents. He'd fit in on Raw, but there's no-one to put him over on Raw apart from The Rock, and this speculation is based on a kayfabed magazine article from a 'writer' who's 'gimmick' is clearly a dig at Internet reports who claim to have 'insider' knowledge.
