Kidman used the ropes to win, so Cena attacked him post-match. Anyways, surprisingly decent line-up. I'm glad they put the 1/22/04 4 on 2 handicap match on. I really liked that match, easily one of the better TV matches of 2004 and one that was forgotten pretty quick. Also glad to see WarGames on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 ...so Cena was mad at Kidman for cheating, and that makes Cena the heel. Gotta love WWE logic. A further backstory to this is that Cena was already teasing a heel turn. Kidman & Cena were teamed up in the WWE Tag Title Tournament (that Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle won), and Kidman got pinned in a match agsinst Reverend D-Von & Ron Simmons I do believe. And Cena got pissed at Kidman and was teasing a heel turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHK 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 Wargames~! and Hart/Benoit, although it's not the Owen tribute match. So, let the Cena wins the Rumble rumors begin. Also, I've never seen the Thundercage match, how is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 So, let the Cena wins the Rumble rumors begin. Well, who needs a Rumble win more? Someone who dominated the Elimination Chamber and all the main event players involved or someone who's been squashing SD! mid card guys for a few weeks straight. My vote goes to Cena.

Guest Lawlerm Report post Posted January 29, 2005 The Superbrawl 4 match would be good to see seen as it was never offically released. God i wish they'd just release some of this on DVD. It's no co-incidence that 2 of the 3 biggest selling DVDs they've ever had were full of ECW and WCW footage. Just use it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 ...so Cena was mad at Kidman for cheating, and that makes Cena the heel. Gotta love WWE logic. actually Cena cheated to win the match, solidly making him a heel. He had done a pre-match promo verbally bashing kidman for losing the match for their team in the tourney. Cena then teamed up with matt hardy to face kidman and someone else I cant recall at this point at the next sd I think. Cena didnt become the rapper untill the halloween night 02 sd when he dressed up as Vanilla Ice and rapped to steph. The next week he was rapping about himself and rikishi (his opponent for the night) Then B Squared/B-2 debuted and cena had a battlle rap in the ring against rikishi and attacked him during it. He accidentily hit Tazz(the mc for the thing) so Tazz choked out Cena with the tazzmision and Tazz danced a little with Rikishi (not many people remember this huh? I think its on the cena dvd) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
