LAST NIGHT, the E throws internet fans into a tizzy by simultaneously reintroducing the legendary Daniel Bryan, whilst also featuring John Cena embarking on yet another Herculean effort to thwart a bunch of guys who are, as of this moment, not as out-and-out reviled as he is. (more...)
The SmarK DVD Rant for WWE Fatal 4-Way 2010
I should point out that the cover of the DVD is one giant spoiler, in case you're going in not wanting to know who wins the title matches. Not having sampled any of the WWE DVD releases in the HD era yet, I'm relieved to see that they look fabulous and finally take full advantage of DVD's audio capabilities by offering true 5.1 surround like on the original HD broadcasts.

LAST WEEK, the face squadron displays more squabbling and in-fighting than the Full-Blooded Italians. The introductory video package, which effectively illustrates the overriding theme that team success can only be accomplished when each member completely and totally commits to a shared philosophy (while abandoning the petty, personal shit), is practically sagacious, as far as pro-wrestling is concerned.
We’re LIVE ENOUGH, from San Antonio. The show opens with John Cena, and since Texans are marginally more sensible than most people give us credit for, he’s greeted with a hearty cavalcade of contempt. Once on the mic, Cena is given the delicate task of both promoting Nexus as an industry-threatening, indescribably evil organization, whilst also insisting that it ain’t no thang, because he’ll beat them anyway. It’s a tight rope to walk, and he pulls it off as well as anyone could expect, really.

We’re LIVE, and Nexus is in the ring. Things are already off to a better start, as it appears that Barrett has been smuggled out of England to mercifully reassume leadership from David Otunga. They’re here to face the consequences of their actions against McMahon-- actions which, according to Barrett, are all part of a larger picture. He of course can’t reveal what that larger picture actually is, which just means the writers are still trying to come up with it.
Hey Scott,
I was thinking this thought while watching Raw tonight. Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for Vince and crew to get the Cena heel turn out of the way by joining them? Eventually you know he's going to do a heel run. This seems like the perfect way too. Anyways, love your site. Keep on chugging along
Cena needs a heel turn in the worst way as a character, but not with this group of zeroes. It’d be Austin and the Alliance all over again. Plus Cena moves way too much merch to even consider a heel turn at this point – it’d be financial suicide for the sake of making a few internet fans happy. That being said, much like Hogan in the 80s, eventually the “Cenation” will grow up and become jaded teenagers, and THAT’S when Cena will do an epic heel turn and it’ll be great. Really, for what I watch, all I care about is that Cena delivers in the big matches. People can cheer or boo him all they want, it’s a free country and he’ll draw money either way.
