(Quotebook – JBL on 3MB: “They’re what happens when the Mean Street Posse goes to a karaoke bar.”) They showed Big Show, Randy Orton, and Sheamus walking backstage. He then explained how he posted it online with #rockcena. Cole then filmed Lawler predicting a win for Rock. They went to the announcers who pushed fans to post videos on Tout asking for feedback on who wins the Rock vs. The comments were a proverbial dog whistle to hardcore fans who were convinced, or at least intrigued, by the hints Cena gave that he’s going to have a new attitude on Sunday.) In the end, he wanted to sell the idea that he will “shock the world,” but that teaser of a turn or change in attitude was somewhat lost among the bloated promo. Cena rarely looks flustered or confronted with the unexpected, since he’s embraced the boos and stood tall up against The Rock the last two years, but the “boring” chant clearly surprised him and his facial expressions revealed in just a few seconds that he was trying to decide how to react and whether to sell it or talk over it. Not that there weren’t long segments in the two hour format, but they had more luxury to cut back the opening segment if they didn’t have enough material to fill the time when it was just two hours. (WK Reax: It would have benefited from being trimmed by 25 percent in length, but such is the case in this bloated three-hour Raw era. He threw the mic down, as the boos intensified, and the camera zoomed in on the WrestleMania banner above his shoulder. He then said this Sunday, people will be shocked at what they see, but they will know The Champ is Here. A loud chant of “Boring! Boring!” broke out. He said the “mighty Rock” will experience failure on Sunday and he’ll have to watch him defend the title belt designed for Rock. He said the new Rock title belt arrogantly implied he’ll be champion for a long time because it’s designed for him. ![]() ![]() He paused for a very loud “Cena sucks!” chant. One whole title defense in two months, and a few reigns over his span in WWE prior to shifting to movies.)Ĭena insisted Rock’s time is up and his time is now, citing his accomplishment of winning the Royal Rumble. (WK Reax: That’s a credibility killer instantly. He said he believes Rock is the greatest WWE Champion of all time. (Quotebook – John Cena: “So tonight I am not going to waste my breath talking about Dwayne’s johnson.”)Ĭena gave Rock credit for doing everything he said he’d do. He said a year ago he’d have made some “rude, way over the line remark about Rock and questioned his passion and his allegiance to WWE.” Then The Rock would come out there and “make fun of my mom, talk about my personal life, and throw my t-shirt in a big bowl of Fruitty Pebbles.” Then he said: “Those childish games are over because we know this is much, much bigger.” Why? Because the WWE Title is on the line. He said he’s also worthy of being called WWE Champion. He said he does respect Rock’s global superstar status. He said all eyes are focused on WrestleMania and it’s no locker room secret he and Dwayne Johnson don’t like one another. But tonight’s arena is full of Ceno-crats and Rock-publicans.” “Ironically in Washington D.C., home of the Democrats, home of the Republicans. He soaked it up and said then said, “I stand in the middle of a house divided.” The camera panned the big crowd. He got a mixed response, mostly boos and “Cena sucks!” chants. They briefly showed the announcers before going back to Cena in a bright yellow shirt and khaki cargo shorts. Cena made his full ring entrance as Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and JBL introduced the show. But it’s not absurd to put Punk – or Lesnar, for that matter – in the grouping because it’s plausible historically within the context of today’s WWE, plus it’s good business because they’re a huge part of selling the show.) Brock Lesnar only is because of his UFC accomplishments, really, because the others have had such a larger enduring lengthy historically significant impact on WWE over the years. Punk, who isn’t yet in the company of the other six. (WK Reax: That’s a hell of a compliment to C.M. It closed with: “Six days before WrestleMania, seven of the biggest Superstars in WWE history are here… live… tonight” as images flashed John Cena, The Rock, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, C.M. The show opened with a narrated video package on the top feuds going into WrestleMania including a plug that Shawn Michaels would be on the show for the first time since Brock Lesnar broke his arm. ![]() The following report was published on five years ago this week… SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN).
