being cheered by kids is not a sign of ability. Don't call me clueless, like you're the all knowing wrestling guru, they could put a charisma lacking monkey in there like yourself and the kids will still cheer him if he has a shit load of merchandise and a spinner belt.

 

Who said anything about ability? It's not that hard to understand. Cena's overness isn't limited to little kids althought they are a strong contingent but that's the case with alot of WWE wrestlers and wrestling in general. From Sting to Hogan to Rock to Bret Hart to HBK, appealing to the kids has always been crucial because they are big cornerstones for the wrestling business. You can't just put anyone in there and expect them to get over. There's over 3 dozen examples of a wrestler being shoved down the fans throat only for them to fail at it. Lex Luger, most famously.

 

Cena was shoved but he got over because he can work the crowd and he has appeal. Once again, a DRAW is over. If you're making money, selling PPV's, popping the ratings to the highest peaks then people care about you. If people care about you and get a reaction about you, you're over.

 

John Cena is OVER. That's been indisputable for the past year. From time to time, he'll get boos but that's the nature of the business that saw Shawn get booed out the door, The Rock also took that heat as well.

but there's no test in being cheered by the kids. Being over is about being able to get over with everyone. or at least the majority. that is not the case with Cena.

 

kids bought The Lex Express, does that mean Luger was over? of course not.

This reminds me of "Bill Clinton" at a WWE PPV.

 

(Which one had that gimmick anyway?)

 

Yeah, it reminded me of the Bill Clinton impersonator too.

 

It was WrestleMania X by the way.

 

Holy shit on a stick, it's amazing it's been that long ago.

 

And yeah, this is fucked up. I'm almost shocked that Vince would do this.

Series 95 had it as well with Sunny sitting on Bill's lap.

 

Vince is a republican, so I'm surprised here.

One of my all time least favorite things ever on wrestling is when the announcers are forced to laugh, to pretend to laugh, when they don't really laugh. It's so unnatural, and it annoys the absolute shit out of me.

Awww...it was pointless without a beatdown

I wounder what kind of reaction (in house and in the media) that would have gotten? It be funny if WWE got on O'Reilly's shit list.

Considering they're going to get the Iraq show next monday hyped, its probably bad enough having him give everyone the middle finger..
