John Cena is older and works less dates than Hogan in WCW 99-00 but a lot of yall want him to win the title tonight…

Whats the difference brehs?





I’ll leave these here for ease of access:

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

 

[Love Sosa]

First heel turn in 22 years, Gotta break Slick Rick’s record, has more respect from fans, hasn’t won matches in years, not in WCW, etc

 

[Heelish]

Cause fukk the Hulk Hoegan

 

[Mike the Executioner]

They backed themselves into a corner. If Cody wins, it means Cena's heel turn was pointless and he really has no business being in the main event anymore. It's also his best chance to break the record.

If Cena wins, he's going to be a part-time champion and barely defend the title. Then that leaves the WHC which Jey will have to drop sooner than later, or they'll have to create a new championship which they already did. I'm not sure what the right choice is, but I know that they have to get something out of Cena turning heel.

Also, unlike Hogan, Cena isn't actively taking away people's spots or stealing TV time. He's been putting guys over nonstop for years. The last time he main evented WrestleMania was the last time CM Punk competed at WrestleMania. And it's his retirement tour. So they have to do it big. Most fans can understand why he's getting the title match this year, especially after the heel turn.

The ones reaping what they sow would be the ones who criticized Hogan for staying on top in WCW.....

We spent a year waiting to get to Cody vs Rock and then Rock pulled the rug from underneath everybody just like he did Roman at WM39

 

[BrehWyatt]

I'm just glad Cody lost the title.

 

[Reality Check]

John Cena is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. No one has faced the scrutiny from fans that he did in his career and still went to work, improved his game, became a generational Superstar and the most decorated champion of all time like he did.

He earned the people's respect through hard work and dedication to his art.

With that said, it was abundantly clear Sunday night that the now-17-time champion does not have much left in the tank. He was slow, clearly losing several steps as he squared off with one of the men who supplanted him as the top babyface in WWE, Cody Rhodes.

The action was dull and when the match runs 25 minutes in the marquee spot on the biggest card of the year, that is problematic and made more so by the convoluted finish involving Travis Scott, who took half a week to walk down the entrance ramp before finally eating the Cross Rhodes everyone knew was coming.

The crowd responded favorably to Cena's title win, mostly out of respect they have for the longtime superhero of WWE, but there was nothing about the match to like and the prospects of Cena working long premium live event headliners feels like a chore if Sunday was any indication of what is to come.
A surefire candidate for GOAT status, he has earned this run. The question after the WrestleMania 41 main event is whether anyone actually wants to watch that match play out in the main event spot on every PLE from now until December.

The answer is a resounding "no."
