As we know this is the era of cancel culture and yet John Cena chose to call Vince McMahon his closest friend and will be that way no matter what, herse what he said

"“I don’t think it’s complicated to talk about. It’s complicated to listen to. That’s why I don’t necessarily put a lot of time and equity into it. There’s still a long way to go. I can say this, I’m a big advocate of love and friendship and honesty, and communication, in the same breath, I’m also a big advocate of accountability. If someone’s behavior lies so far outside of your value system that the balance shifts of, ‘I can’t operate in a world where this works.’ That’s the end result of being accountable. Right now, I’m gonna love the person I love, be their friend. ‘I love you, you have a hill to climb.’ There is the saying of, ‘You don’t know who your friends are until **** hits the fan or your back is against the wall.’ That doesn’t make any of what’s going on any easier to swallow. Just telling someone you love them, it’s a hill to climb, and we’ll see what happens.’ That’s that. It sounds so cliche, but it has to be one day at a time. I’ve openly said, I love the guy, I have a great relationship with the guy, and that’s that. It’s largely my construct of operating with honesty and communication. Those are strong leads to handling any problem or achievement. The whole thing is super unfortunate and it sucks. It deals with an individual I love and an entity I love. I want everyone to have the experience that I have,” said Cena. “Not only do I tell a friend that I love them, but I switch to the entity and say, ‘How can I help?'”

Randy Orton also commented the same day today yet his response was miles better and did not show open support for Vince like Cena did and said things are better under Triple H and Nick Khan:


“So much happened while I was out,” said Orton. “When I left, the old guard was still doing its thing. Vince was still around. TV’s were getting rewritten over and over again. The writers were being held up until all hours in the morning. And all that changed.
I am excited to work for WWE. Nick Khan is amazing. Triple H being in charge of creative is amazing. I’ve had a relationship with him for over 20 years. I went to his wedding back in ‘03. We’ve been at odds before when I was a f--- up when I was young, and I won him back. He’s seen me go from an adolescent assh--- prick who didn’t know what I was doing–I was an insecure punk, that’s what I was. I’m the oldest sibling in my family, but he’s like an older brother to me in many ways. He’s always been there and had the best of advice.”

Well Cena should have known the climate better who knows what happens, personally I despise Vince for action (I started despising him since he started treating good ol Jim Ross badly, mocking his facial problem and these allegatins are disgusting). I thought Cena would know better, Vince may be the guy that pushed him to the top but after these allegations he should have at least condemned Vince's actions!

Crazy how Taker could move in his prime for such a big guy. You don't get matches like this anymore, slow burner, telling a story, chain wrestling, stalemates etc. Modern matches are just spotfests and spamming finishers. I remember when finishers meant something

One of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Very good inside the ring, lots of brilliant matches, some memorable feuds, very charismatic, brilliant gimmick, good on mic, we wished he should have stayed longer in WWE after his 2006 exit, but he somewhat made up for it by his brief run in TNA...

I rank him at no. 8 in my all time best wrestlers list.

he ain't no Hitman or HBK in ring but despite his limited movesets have done some cool stuff so far, and is good at brawling. For me personally his last man standing match with Brock lesnar at SummerSllam 2022 was amazing. they been feuding on and off since 2015 but didn't have any memorable match except the 3 way main event at WM 31 but that was more for Rollin's heist of the century. Since 2015 we were free of Super Cena, with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesner becoming co-face of the company. After a series of bad matches at SummerSlam 2022 they pulled out a classic, the two were big stars the story was great Bloodline was involved the whole match was a classic and Lesnar went down strong. Thats just my view, what do others think was the best match in the career of the current face of WWE, Roman Reigns?

LMFAO

Long career, lots of feuds...so let's do this....

Mine (not in any order):

vs. The Rock
vs. Steve Austin
vs. Batista
vs. Shawn Michaels
vs. Randy Orton

Like I said before I have only watched WCW, WWE, AEW and TNA, so basing him on that.

Like I said in case of Edge and Chris Jericho, I am a big fan of wrestlers with long careers and lots of matches and feuds....Randy Orton is again one of them, but he's main evented for most part of his career, pretty good in stables, decent on mic, handy in stipulated matches, has the ability to work longer feuds...one of the all time best...

I would rank him at no. 10 in all time best wrestlers list.

Since I have only watched WCW, WWE, TNA and AEW, so I am ranking him according to that.

I think Chris Jericho is one of the underrated wrestlers, sometimes people have to appreciate the longevity of the career and the amount of wrestlers a wrestler has faced...ranging from all different styles...and Chris Jericho is one of them...so many good matches, so many memorable feuds, pretty good on mic, handy in all divisions...

I rank him at no. 14 in all time best wrestlers list.

Another long career, lots of feuds and opponents, so let's do this....

Mine:

vs. Shawn Michaels (solely for the matches they produced)
vs. Randy Orton (damn long and damn good, I wished they had a WM match)
vs. Bray Wyatt (solely for the story telling and how well it put Bray Wyatt on the main event map)
vs. The Rock (this coz it was big on the paper)
vs. Kurt Angle (interesting feud and well executed)

The dudes charisma just absoloutley blows them all out of the water. Even reigns and the rest of the samoans can't do anything but stand there and bask in his glory and it's just embarrasing tbh.

they love it srs

After firing Scott D'Amore from TNA whom many people criticized the new head is now none other than the innovator of violence Tommy Dreamer.

Seems legit

These are all prices for an upcoming Collision show in May

Row 3 floor - $500 - $827
Row 1 above floor - $827
Row 2 above floor - $449
Row 5 above floor - $575

The cheapest "good seat" which is row 7 is still $227.

Granted, these are platinum seats which are a higher price but how do they expect anyone to pay this?

Luckily I was able to get row 3 on the floor for $190 during pre sale

Because since the 1980's till now, all their wrestlers had well defined gimmicks and when I say all I mean all...they just don't throw wrestlers in the ring just to have matches, much meaning is given to the character and the gimmick of the wrestler....which is mostly included in the debut of the wrestler sometimes...

I just started watching again since the rock is back


what's the deal with seth? he kind of act's like a poverty joker but then all of a sudden wants to be all serious


plus it seems like he wears all this ridiculous clothing just because

he's a fashion mogul but doesn't act like a fashion mogul?


and what's so freakin about him? just seems like a weirdo that tries everything to see if it'll stick

She looks like Charlotte

Since I've mostly seen WWE, WCW, TNA and AEW only, so I will rank him by that...

Edge is one of the few wrestlers who is a standout for me for several reasons..

Brilliant heel gimmicks
Brilliant entrance themes
Had a solid stay in the main event division
Had a solid stay in the midcard division
Had a solid stay in the tag team division
Brilliant in ladder matches
Brilliant with chair as his signature weapon
Brilliant in hardcore matches
Good on mic
Can be funny if required
Long career
Lots of wrestling matches
Some very good wrestling matches
Some very good/memorable feuds

I would rank him at number 13 in a list of all time best wrestlers.

wwe is Vinces traveling circus of freaks . does anyone think wwe will collapse without vince in the head of it

During his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed the Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit and here are the highlights…

“This wasn’t a 14-year-old girl that was giving a man a hand job for $200 and brought back to her trailer house. Like, that was not the situation. So it’s like, when they started using ‘She was being groomed,’ and she was this and she was that, and I’m just like ‘Jesus, like, how did like, she not get out of this?’”

“I don’t know [this woman]. She could have very easily have been…this could have been a consensual relationship. It appears to me that, through reading what I’ve read, that at some point Vince’s wife found out about it, said ‘Cut this off,’ which he immediately did. And the situation from there was, they worked out an agreement. There would be no…this relationship would not go forward. And this was what you would get. You would sign the non-disclosure, much like the other four women had. It wasn’t like there wasn’t some kind of pattern here. You know, if somebody is such a predator, and so deadly, you lock that person up.”

“There’s so many things that if you know Vince and you read into them, it’s a fantasy. It’s a power thing. There’s no three black guys that are…it was a fantasy. It was fantasy play. And the girl comes back and says ‘I can’t do a Wednesday, I can do a Friday.’ I’m sorry man, it’s hard for me to ****in’ just take all this **** and just throw a mother****er under the bus when they’re trying to… because they’re not going criminally…when they’re trying to get what they can, pay-wise. Because, you know, $3 million settlement…that blonde girl’s getting a million of it. So, you know, who’s pulling whose strings here?”

Cody wins the undisputed title from Roman at WM40...

Cody beats Randy, AJ Styles on his road to Summerslam 2024...Gunther beats Cody at Summerslam 2024 to become the undisputed champion..

Bobby Lashley wins the world heavyweight title from Seth at WM40...

Bobby Lashley beats Finn at the next PPV, Damian cashes in his MITB contract and becomes the world heavyweight champion...Damian beats Seth, Finn on his journey ahead...Bron Breakker takes the title off Damian Priest at Summerslam 2024...

He doesn't call himself that for no reason.

Triple H built up Cody's storyline and the fans expected him to finish the story.

So when The Rock came in, he knew the fans would turn on The Rock, thus the return of The Rock as a heel.

Now, with the backlash from WWE fans, Triple H used it for the Wrestlemania XL Kickoff show and it led to what happened on stage with Roman, Rock, and Cody.

It looked like real life drama. Tensions are at an all-time high.

Triple H is creating a cinematic masterpiece, and you all received a lesson from the master of psychology.

We all loved HHH vs Rock feud and matches 1998-2000 starting with the classic ladder match at SummerSlam 1998 that didn't need crazy circus spots but the wild brawling was amazing, to their final "significant 1 on 1 encounter" the 60 Minutes Iron Man match at Judgement day 2000 but the do never faced each other in a singles match at Wm (the fatal four way at WM 2000 doesn't count). WM 40 was the perfect opportunity to do it finally but unfortunately as per Dave Melzter its not happening:

https://www.cagesideseats.com/2024/2...t-big-business

This could be given HHH's heart condition. Pesronally I thing Rock had a great retirement with the record win over Rowan in front of the largest wrestling card ever WM 32 and he doesn't need to wrestle again, but if he did him and HHH had an unsettled biz given how the IronMan match ended 24 years ago and it would be a great send off for both men. Rock is the person HHH always wanted to be popular with fans, great movie career (never forget HHH"s bus driver film), global recognition, independent business and all, but now tides had turned and fans could finally have cheered HHH over Rocky, sad its not happening as HHH's heart can't handle it.

Guy is insufferable and easy to hate enough as is. Is the late 30s frat boy routine “in”? Seems like a natural heel if flipping him. Assume it’s because the E doesn’t want to ruin a good thing nor do they have leverage over his ESPN gig? Cole has been packing it in for years, now he gets to pack it in even more with a yes man color guy. How about making it interesting. Go back to the days of the heel color and face play by play to make it make sense. Gorilla and Brain exchanged farts that were more entertaining than these fuking jokers on Raw these days.
