Hence why I said oversaturation is something WWE tends to do often. That style should definitely make appearances rarely, and only for those who would substantially benefit from it (like Bray and older part-timers).

As for Drew, he won squeaky clean!

I was losing my patience with that match, if that counts.

I think we should do AJ/Cena as a loser-leaves-scripted-video-matches as the main event of MitB.

Boneyard match was produced by HHH/Hayes/Borash.

FFH match was produced by Pritchard/Cena/Wyatt.

No one wants credit for Orton/Edge lol.

The nuance of the Cena/Wyatt segment, I think, really hinges on if WWE can maintain a direction for both men going forward that is consistent to these really widespread changes to their directions. Even if it means Cena won't appear again, I would still consider that consistency.

However, I imagine we'll see Cena again. Hopefully this will lead to a sort-of nameless, characterless mass of muscle that seems relatively lost and confused. I think rebuilding Cena could be a bold way to turn him into a beloved nostalgia character that is purely babyface.

I would love it, but I feel like this almost retroactively makes Cena the heel for the last several years, and it would make him face going forward.

At its most basic, it's Cena mirroring Hogan and turning heel, which is fitting in with where Bray is taking his comments.

If anyone ever wants an easy way to explain what the difference between good workers and bad workers are, use Braun vs Goldberg and Drew vs Brock

Almost literally the exact same match but the WWE Title match is like a full star rating better because of Drew and Brocks work between the lines.

to be fair I have only seen the end of it and some summaries

I have enough respect for WWE not to pirate the show but not enough to pay for WM so >_>

but like he got Cena to snap right? and people he takes out tend to regress.....the ingredients are there :(

My interpretations of it was they were clear in the match itself

This was a do over if their other mania match. The moment Cena swung the chair he became the monster Wyatt alluded he was all along. And then he became literal Hollywood Cena.

Part of that was reverting him to his past personas, including the Dr of Thugonomics, and exposing how those personas were just him being Vinces puppet

Sure enough, Jim Cornette couldn't understand either the Boneyard or FFH matches. I would have preferred they actually talked about why they hated the match instead of turning it into a "Well, it sucks like the Hardy/Jericho" stuff conversation, but whatever. If his Youtube channel wasn't profitable, you'd bet he would just stay home and scream to himself.

Oh well. At least we have stupid stories about Vince McMahon wearing suits and Zubaz pants. Life is weird.

If you had told me 5 years ago that 2/3rds of 3 Man Band would be WWE champions someday, I'd probably wonder what two former WWE champions Heath Slater would recruit to replace Jinder and Drew.
