Out of curiosity, do you know what Cena's number would have been up to had he not missed TLC?

Assuming he had a match at TLC, he'd be at 15.

Remember he was only a ref at Survivor Series 2010.

Wonder if Goldberg could get over using 50-50.

Considering his gimmick was that he was unbeatable? Probably not. Though if he was going 50-50 with like Hogan, Sting, and Nash and won the final match of each that probably would still have gotten him over.

Hosses and heavy hitters like that really can't get over using 50-50 I'd say. Well maybe if they were trading victories with like Undertaker or another big guy.

And did people really not like Ziggler vs Punk? Sure the ending was goofy, and it would have been better off as a whole without John Laurinaitis involved, but the match itself was pretty good I thought.

Yeah, I'm seeing some strong reviews for that match.

I was possibly too caught up in the ref bump shenanigans to appreciate the match itself.

Why are Hogan and Nash over anyway?

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

Match was great, but it didn't go long enough and it was robbed of a really nice, conclusive finish.

Some great wrestling though. Ziggler countering the GTS into a legdrop bulldog was insanulous.

Voltch is trying to use the Socratic Method to get you to understand that 50/50 booking doesn't work as far as establishing new stars goes.

Oh. Well the problem with that is that I don't really think it works to get new stars over at least past the lower/midcard level.

I don't enjoy 50-50 booking because it is effective booking to get a guy over, I like it because it can lead to a series of great matches with a variety of endings.

I think there was some miscommunication here.

Meltzer saying Cena was at one point scheduled to win the rumble.

Story being choose between The Rock or the Title match at mania.

Who wanted what we got instead of that?

That's pretty stupid and I hope he's wrong.

They JUST DID an angle where Cena chose a US Title shot for Ryder over a WWE Title shot for himself.

--

http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg

From the looks of it, they DID realise it was all stupid.

--

Well I'm just saying that I would be disappointed if that thought ever crossed their minds.

It would imply that Cena entered the Rumble not knowing what he would do if he won.

--
Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.
http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg

They keep changing their plans all the time, so it wouldn't surprise me if every possible scenario entered their minds at one point or another.

If Cena eliminated Jericho to win the Rumble, I'm pretty sure I'd have quit watching again.

It's just mind boggling how they can continue to think Cena, on the precipice of probably the biggest match of his career, should be winning more titles/major events. He has double digit world titles before you're even done counting his WWE Championship reigns. Use these titles and events to elevate other people while he's busy elsewhere!

Right, but the point is that it's CUMULATIVE, which is why someone like Triple H tops Austin.

Triple H has just been in so many more main events.
