Cena Injured Tonight (Out 6-12 Months)

Recommended Posts

Make sure you're not drinking anything as you read this, as you'll laugh at me.

 

If CM Punk drops the ECW title to Big Daddy Mabel, he walks out WWE Champion later in the evening.

 

A hometown kid walking away on top? That can't happen in WWE.

That is certainly true. In the post-Attitude era, it seems like everyone ALWAYS either does the job, gets beaten up, or otherwise buried whenever the Fed swings through their hometown. Which is beyond fucking stupid, but hey, Vince is a genius.

 

Punk isn't seen within the company as a real top guy. Just look at his competition: Morrison, Burke, Dreamer, Thorne, Viscera, etc. He's never had a feud with or a win over anybody that the office sees as important. The ECW belt is technically a world title, but just look at how it's booked. On any PPV, the ECW belt never gets even as high as semi-main, not even when Vince himself is in the match. Seriously, when EVER has a title match involving Vincent K. McMahon NOT been the main event, except when it was for the ECW strap? Punk is seen by the company as being slightly less important than either Hardy boy.

Is it possible they do a "anyone who was a former Champion (World/WWE/ECW) can be in the match?

 

HHH

Undertaker

Kane

Rey Mysterio

Orton

Punk (after he loses the title)

Morrison

Vince (?)

Flair (?)

JBL (?)

Jericho (?)

HBK (?)

 

Maybe a Champions Only Battle Royal. Announce the first 6 guys as being in it, then have Morrison come out and demand to be in it too..and then right before have Jericho show up as well.

King Booker on the Smackdown before WM. I don't necessarily disagree with you otherwise, though.

King C: I LOVE tournaments but I think WWE has seen bad returns ratings and PPV wise when they have tourneys. I believe its a ig reason why KOTR dies off as well. Even when they do a tournament now its very short. I am a HUGE amrk for bigger tournaments but I think we are in the minority on that

 

Survivor Series 98 had a terrific buyrate. No Survivor Series has done nearly that high since.

 

The KOTRs aside from 2002 didn't do too bad either. I can't remember why 2002's was so low.

 

Valentines Day and Over the edge drew similar buyrates to survivor series 98

 

Face it Vince doesnt think its worth it to do tournaments anymore he thinks theres more money to be made in building up something more tangible..his memory is like an elephant's he is still mad about WM IV's buyrate..russo had to sell him on that one

 

IF wwe marketed it right they could catch some casual march madness type of fans who just love brackets etc but it wont ever happen they are getting bad returns in their eyes on the concept

 

and 32 man tourney was mentioned..good luck with that..didnt russo do that with people coming back in and all that

On AM Raw I didn't even see the hiptoss.

 

Can't say I'm really shocked by the editing. They are really trying to see Orton causing the injury rather then a "shit happens" moment in the match with Kennedy
