For the record, I don’t hate John Cena…

Seriously, I don’t hate John Cena. I’ll admittedly respect him. This is the god honest truth. I don’t hate Cena, I just want WWE to stop using him so much. Cut Cena some slack and give someone else a chance to hit the superstar, big time.

I know a lot of people hate Cena, but in reality, he is one performer that should be respected. WWE uses him a lot for a reason. As long as he’s getting a mix of boos and cheers from the crowds, that’s the reason right there WWE keeps using him. If nobody cared, then WWE wouldn’t continue to push him. Like it or not, Cena has gotten bigger than the Rock and Stone Cold. Maybe not bigger than Hogan, but Cena definitely topped the Rock and Stone Cold for sure. You can’t deny that Cena did have some brilliant and historic ppv matches.

John Cena matches are best when he has them against Randy Orton. Cena did come a long way. People accuse Cena of knowing just a few moves but if people get their facts straight, Cena has years of wrestling experience before he signed to WWE back in 2002. In the year 2000, Cena went to, “Ultimate University” which is a wrestling school, the school where he learned it all from. He then went to OVW wrestling to train for WWE. I’m pretty sure he knows plenty of wrestling moves, he’s pretty skilled. He just uses the few that is right for the character he plays on RAW.

Watch these videos, the early days of John Cena before WWE, I’ll post his WWE debut too. Notice how Cena’s wrestling style is different back then? Notice how he was a better wrestler in the old days?

Cena didn’t become an icon for nothing. It took him a long road to get where he is today. As you can see, Cena and Orton go way back.

Report: Will Bret “The Hitman” Hart ever work for TNA someday?

Since a lot of former WCW and WWE guys are working for TNA wrestling, that made wrestling fans wonder if Bret “The Hitman” Hart will ever work for TNA Impact someday. Will he ever? Well in this article, Bret has some positive things to say about TNA and not so positive things about TNA.

The positive? Bret says that TNA is more of a wrestling show because of the company’s lighter schedule than WWE. He says TNA is a serious rival against WWE, but doesn’t put the blame on the actual wrestlers. He also says good things about TNA star, Samoa Joe, who is the top star of the company right now and he worries that Hulk Hogan might take Samoa Joe’s spotlight if he has a match against him.

The negative? Well Bret slams Hogan and Bischoff. Explaining his experiences with Hogan and Bischoff when they worked together for WCW. Bret never got along with Hogan and Bischoff in WCW behind the scenes. He also says that Hogan believes in his heart that he is the star of the show and he is wrestling, which is a polite way of saying that Hogan is an egomaniac. Bret reveals that he will not work for TNA as long as Hogan and Bischoff are still working for them. Bret may consider working for TNA, whenever Hogan and Bischoff leaves.

Read more on what Bret have to say, here.

Can’t blame Bret, so good on him. Notice how a lot of other wrestlers hate Hogan and Bischoff in real life. Hogan and Bischoff have huge egos ’cause they think they are pioneers of wrestling, they think they started it all. Hulk Hogan didn’t invent professional wrestling, he only helped make it mainstream. I’ve always been a Hogan hater myself. There are other wrestlers that are more legendary than him.

In my opinion, Mick Foley, is the one that made professional wrestling to what it is today. Not Hogan.

Cool Video: John Cena to come back to WWE under a new gimmick, Juan Cena…

How will John Cena come back to WWE TV after being fired by the Anonymous General Manager and Wade Barrett of the Nexus? Cena will be coming back under a new gimmick. He will be disguised in a Mexican costume and will be renamed, Juan Cena. A Mexican gimmick. It’s to hide the John Cena identity, as a way to come back to WWE to feud with the Nexus some more.

Remember, the Hulk Hogan/Mr. America storyline? It’s the same thing as that. As usual, the WWE can never come up with original storylines, they just keep rehashing old ones.

Here’s the Juan Cena, theme song, a Mexican version of John’s original version.

I love how some people online, think John Cena is really fired, when it’s all part of a storyline and part of a script. John’s not really fired. Remember, WWE has done this “you’re fired” storyline to many superstars in the past: Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, etc. Again, nothing new, rehashing old storylines.

Cena will probably be on RAW tonight. Not sure if he will be in this new gimmick yet though.

Edit to add:

Here’s John Cena as the Juan Cena masked gimmick at a RAW House show, a non televised event….

Thought: this RAW Anonymous GM crap needs to end already!!!

Yep, like everyone else, I’m getting a bit tired of this RAW Anonymous GM thing keep dragging on. How much longer is WWE going to keep doing this? I think they will reveal the GM sometime before the next Royal Rumble which will be in January. After thinking about it a while, I don’t think the GM will be John Cena ’cause it wouldn’t make any sense since the GM just fired him story wise. I bet the WWE is being careful on this Anonymous GM. The WWE wants the GM to be someone unexpecting. Someone unpredictable. A lot of wrestling fans are naming all these wrestlers that could possibly be the RAW GM: The Rock, Triple H, Foley, The McMahon’s, Eugene, etc. I don’t think it’ll be any of those guys. Why? Because it will be too expecting. WWE don’t want to ruin surprises. I’m sure the WWE writers have been keeping an eye on the internet. Trying to see what fans pick that are most popular with wrestler choices for the GM. After all these popular names that fans have been naming for RAW GM, WWE could go for none of them.

What are some unexpecting names that WWE could bring in as the new GM, to shock all of us? Who knows. Maybe the GM could be Matt Hardy. Matt has been released from the WWE but it could be a storyline. What about others? Hmmmmm, what if the GM is Dave Batista? Jonathan Coachman, the former RAW announcer?

Hell, the WWE could even make Jake the Snake Roberts or Macho Man Randy Savage the RAW GM. What about Rowdy Roddy Piper and the Miller Dollar Man? The GM could be anybody.

Report: Dwayne Johnson admits to having a violent past as a kid…

As everyone knows Dwayne Johnson, the former wrestler turned movie star, grew up most of his life in Miami, Florida. While promoting his new action movie, “Faster”, Dwayne tells the press that he was violent and had a short temper when he was a kid. He admits to being a bully and picked on other kids but later become friends with them.

Read what, the Rock, have to say, here.

It is no surprise to me that Dwayne might have had a violent past and it turned out to be true after all. Just so you know, Dwayne’s entire family revolved around professional wrestling. Both his father and grandfather, were professional wrestlers, and pretty much his whole family. That’s probably where the young Dwayne influenced the violence from, it came from his wrestling family. Then Dwayne ended up getting into professional wrestling himself in his early days because of it.

Hope Dwayne has plans in returning to WWE for a little while. The wrestling community misses you Dwayne!

Thought: About the Miz becoming WWE Champion part II…

Another reason,  why the Miz was made, WWE Champion is because he used to be associated with MTV in the past. He was a former “Real World” star. Then he went on WWE’s Tough Enough, another wrestling reality show where wrestler hopefuls train to get a contract in WWE. Miz was sent to OVW to further his wrestling skills in hopes of getting signed to WWE. Miz becoming Champion in WWE just recently is a ploy to help market WWE in a huge way since he was a former Real World star. WWE knew Miz becoming Champion would be all over mainstream news. Hoping to get more ratings and more merchandise sales.

All the internet has been talking about lately is the Miz becoming WWE Champion, and I’m not just talking about wrestling community websites. The Miz is even being talked about everywhere, even on TMZ. I know a lot of people like him and a lot of people hope he may become the next Stone Cold/Rock, but I can think of plenty of other younger wrestlers that can easily fill in Stone Cold’s/Rock’s spotlight. Like I said in the previous post, the Miz is not my favorite wrestler. As I said, I don’t think Miz will have a long title reign.

I think there are other young wrestlers that are better than the Miz. Who? I like Ezekiel Jackson, Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger, and that redhead wrestler, Sheamus.

While I don’t agree with Miz being the Champ, I still give WWE props for finally giving the belt to someone different other than Randy Orton and John Cena all the time. I’m sure Cena will get it back, it’s only a matter of time. Just wait.

Thought: About the Miz becoming the new WWE Champion…

Ever since WWE went PG, they never had a heel champion. It was mostly John Cena and Randy Orton that held the belt. I think the Miz was made WWE Champion because it was a test to see how sales goes with the Merchandise. Could WWE lose Merchandise and TV ratings because of the Miz being Champion? Possibly, we’ll have to see how it goes. If the WWE lose merchandise sales, if they start to go down on everything, they’ll probably have to make a babyface champion again. Triple H should be coming back soon, I think that’s another reason the Miz was made Champion so Triple H can feud with him for the belt. That’s the tough thing about the PG switch with WWE, it’s gonna be tough on them having a heel Champion ’cause they know a lot of children are not going to like it.

If the Miz was Champion if WWE was still TV-14 now, all the adult WWE fans would find it cool, but with children that are fans, is a different thing. See what I’m saying? I don’t think Miz will be Champion for long. He got it so another babyface wrestler can take it from him whether it will be Cena or Randy Orton or Triple H.

What do I like about the Miz? Do I like the character? I know the Miz is a very popular heel, which is another reason he was made Champion, but to be honest, I don’t think he’s a good performer. I really don’t like his voice when he does promos in the ring. He messes up a lot of speeches and can’t say things right, plus, his, “I am the Miz, and I am awesome” quote is a bit annoying, and too simple. I’d prefer Wade Barrett of the Nexus being WWE Champion then the Miz, but who knows, maybe Wade Barrett will take it from the Miz and there will be a heel vs. heel Championship match.

WWE can’t overdo the heel thing anymore due to the PG switch, that’s why almost every RAW show ends with a babyface wrestler being the hero, but WWE did something different this week, at least, I’ll give them that. RAW last Monday night was a decent show. They are slightly improving.

Thought: Get with it wrestling fans, John Cena is the RAW Anonymous GM, who else would it be???

Storyline wise, John Cena has been fired from the WWE because he is under Wade Barrett’s control. Not anymore. John Cena called the Survivor Series match right down the middle as he promised, so he helped Randy Orton retained. So that makes Cena fired from WWE if he didn’t follow Wade Barrett’s orders while being member of the Nexus.

How would it make more sense to bring Cena back to TV storyline wise? Could Vince McMahon bring Cena back? Pretty unlikely since Vince McMahon haven’t been on TV in a long while plus Vince hates Cena storyline wise. The RAW Anonymous GM wouldn’t bring Cena back ’cause the GM was the one who kept that rule that if Cena doesn’t follow Wade’s orders, he’d be fired.

So why would Cena sacrifice his career storywise? He’ll take a little break from TV for a few weeks just to go with this storyline, and then he’ll get revealed as the RAW Anonymous GM. How would it make sense that Cena would be the GM? Well think about it. The last time Vince McMahon was on TV, he got his ass kicked by the Nexus. Vince knows how much Cena hates the Nexus and knows how much Cena wants to destroy them. Notice, how the GM has been busting on the Nexus a lot, a Cena hint? YES! Cena being revealed as the GM would explain him coming back from the firing.

For those hoping the GM would be Warrior, Bret Hart, or Triple H. Don’t get your hopes up. Don’t be surprised that the GM could be none other than Cena. After reading about Survivor Series and seeing tonight’s RAW, and how this storyline is going, I’m beginning to see that the GM could be Cena. Sorry to disappoint you Cena haters out there.

Thought: Brock Lesnar still can return to WWE, just not wrestle!!!

Rumours are still hitting hard on the internet that there maybe a possibility that Brock Lesnar could return to the WWE, to feud with the Undertaker. Even though Dana White says it won’t happen, the UFC’s policy is that UFC fighters can not fight or wrestle in any other company while still under contract for UFC. Still though, nobody ever said anything about Brock Lesnar performing in WWE, and not wrestle right?

WWE could bring Brock in as a guest host for RAW and Undertaker can go to RAW to feud with him there, or the WWE could make Brock Lesnar as the Anonymous RAW GM, would be interesting. Brock as a RAW GM would work.

If Brock does come back to WWE, that would bring Paul Heyman back as his manager again. I’d love to see Brock and Paul back. Brock may not be able to wrestle but they can put Brock in a different role. Maybe make Brock a special guest commentator or special guest referee, RAW GM, RAW celebrity guest, etc. Any of those things. WWE will figure out a plan for Brock, I’m sure. I’d love to see the Brock vs. Undertaker feud continue ’cause that would make an interesting feud. Brock and Taker feuded in WWE in the past before, this could be a perfect closure to that feud.

Kev

Edit to add: If Quinton “Rampage” Jackson can be a guest host on WWE RAW while still under contract for UFC, then the same can happen for Brock Lesnar, right?
