So a new Hell In A Cell Structure is getting used for Wrestlemaina 28... Never knew they had to, always thought they had that bit covered

To be honest, that could still suggest that he's only going to confront him via the titantron. Like I could easily imagine Cena trash talking about how he owned Rock last week, and then he'll appear on the tron and act as if he's actually talking to him live.

**EDIT**
Okay, scrub that. I've read that Dwayne has actually arrived in Boston, so it seems he will appear in the flesh then.

It'll be interesting to see how they can modify this. I can't really think what else they could do to it.

Rock's video skits mocking Cena's merchandise, school, fans etc thoughout the night, Cena comes out at the end of the night says, Rock is scared of him and hasn't turned up on Raw again, Rock's music hits and stare down and some shizzle is said.

That's what I was thinking too. When Rock does show up though, Cena will not be shocked by this, he will smile at Rocks arrival then proceed to make some lame joke about Rock showing up 2 weeks in a row.

That's true, instead of being suprised you know the goofy dick will just smile about it.

Raw was pretty good last night. The crowd was red hot as expected, Boston is a great city, they also had Raw there the week before Money In The Bank 2011 (with Punk's awesome "You have become what you hate" promo).

Santino was awesome and very over as usual. HBK/HHH promo was decent, could've done without HBK's involvement in the match though.

Rock and Cena were both good on the mic. John Cena needs to learn to sell a fucking fued, stop smiling like the little bitch Rock was talking about. By no-selling anything Rock says it just nullifies the whole hatred Rock has for Cena.

Sums it up, imagine if Rock did this last week.

Cena ruining the feud. (Oh my pic didnt load )

EDIT: Ok heres my take on The Rock and Cena right now.

I don't think they suit each other, one bit, they are very similar but at the same time completely different. Cena's attitude towards Rock is so annoying, it makes it look like he gets the better of verbal encounters, but quite simply it is because Cena doesn't take onboard any verbal jabs The Rock has, which leads to a gridlock in the promo where nothing else can be said.

I would have liked The Rock to have mentioned some of this last night

1. The fact that his Boston accent has come back again for the night would have made him look like a complete idiot.
2. Tell him to stop smiling, he looks like an idiot and maybe knocked the hat off his head or something lol.

The Rock gets criticised for making jokes all the time, but other than his (awesome) history lessons he was very serious and told Cena he is gonna rip his throat out..

Cena's response...'cool story bro' to paraphrase. Cena's constant interupting annoyed me too, Rock never ever interupted Cena when he was talking, why? Because he is a pro, Cena on the other hand is basically saying well I'm rubber and you're glue to everything. Cena you have ruined this feud, well done.

Imagine if Rock did that last week? He just smiled as Cena ran him down, no he didn't he looked serious and looked pissed off, it's called selling Mr Cena. Learn how to do it, it's your living ffs.

Also can it be any more insanely obvious that Cena is winning?! The feud is screaming underdog winning, he's obviously not turning heel now either, as WWE are trying hard to get him cheered, so why would they? The Rock saying he will make him his bitch etc etc and Cena saying how he needs to win. I have almost no doubt that Cena is winning. (Unless the reason Cena is no selling everything Rock says is because Rock wins, kinda like how Cena sandbagged Miz last year at WM.)

Rock concert and Cena rap next week... I really think this isn't going to go well, hope they don't go the Rock and Austin route for this, cos it'd flop.


Punk ass bitch

Punk ass bitch

That gif shows just how much Cena is ruining this feud, not taking anything Rock says seriously and just laughing it off. Compare that to the past with epic Rock feuds.







And now an image of Rock and Cena staredown...



Smile!

[jj03]

cena's a fuckin joke...he can't sell to save his life...the guys more wooden than jim duggans 2x4 (for those who have been watchin wwe since late 80's like me). the rock couldn't be more different. his feuds with stonecold/hhh /foley were incredible...he generated an atmosphere that was electric during those feuds...

The dude abides....

[Molo316]

For the past two weeks I've actually liked Cena's promos as they remind me of his Doctor of Thuganomics days.
Rock last night was brilliant in his pre-recorded promos; they were just like the Rock of old. I loved the "Pony Jabroni" line.
But even though I suppose he was trying to seriously lay into Cena at the end of Raw, he seemed flat in comparison to the rest of his appearances throughout the night.

Are either one of you two on Wrestlezone.com? I read a comment that said just about the same thing mentioned from both of you. Cena smiles and doesn't make this feud look credible. I don't really watch wrestling anymore because I feel the product is boring and predictable but i read about what has been happening from time to time. When Rock came back and they announced the match for WM, I already knew how this would play out. But what I really feel made the feud go down a bit was when they agreed to have the match and Rock started saying he respects Cena then shakes his hand. Of course Cena is going to win. There is no way they will have their current top face product lose to their old product. Rock has already done it ALL. A win will do nothing but probably bury Cena. A lost will do nothing to the Rock. When Cena wins, it may end with Rock shaking hands with him. From how predictable the WWE has become, this is how I see it going about.

[Molo316]

Good point with the staredowns that The Rock has had in the past. I never thought of that last night.

Neh not on wrestlezone, I'm on wrestlingforums.com though.

A loss won't hurt either wrestler IMO, Cena has gone over..HBK, HHH, Edge, Big Show (twice), Batista, JBL at Wrestlemania. One loss to the biggest superstar of all time isn't going to hurt him one bit.

Cena will win though, he is the underdog and he will hit his five moves of doom and win. Go cena.. yay

I heard some rumours grumbling that they may go with The Rock being 'Dwayne' at wrestlemania and losing, and Rock coming out next night challenging Cena to a rematch as he has now 'found himself' or some nonsense. If that happens I don't think I'll bother anymore. One thing I do not want to see is a rematch between these 2, I don't even want to hear their names in the same sentence again after Wrestlemania.

If Rock loses clean I am probably gonna take a long time off from WWE, Cena doesn't deserve the win and what will he do after? He buries Punk and wins the belt? Probably...

[XMW]

Well from the looks of things Cena is going to win at WM28. I'm not sure if it'll be clean, personallly I hope for a heel turn and then a win. Though I'd rather see a clean win then an overbooked stupid finish..

Even if Cena wins clean I won't stop watching WWE. I love it way too much to take a break from it. If you do stop watching it may I suggest you try and get into some independent promotions (always trying to get others to see the indy's lol )

If Cena wins clean and it ends in a handshake then WWE can go fuck emselves for a year in my eyes (I say this but I am too addicted to just walk away I feel )

I will try and look at some other promotions, I went to a Live TNA event once haha! It was quite fun actually.

So this, anyHOW my idol when i was growing up loses clean to a FU, im done. im almost done with it anyway. i only read most reports and only watch when punk, taker or bryan is on!

[yourmumsface17]

I am enjoying the build to mania, as 3 or 4 matches take my interest. Also if HHH ends the streak they can go fuck themselves too! Or if they devalue the streak by having Taker win by cheating I will be annoyed.

I never used to buy into HHH having to look better than everyone else, but just the fact that he is facing Taker AGAIN and last year lets face it, HHH was given the "moral victory", the way WWE went about it, you would have thought HHH had won the match. It really annoyed me, he beat Punk last September too, why? What was the reason for that? Nope, nothing.

I hope Taker buries HHH but I guarantee HHH will come out looking better than him, win or lose.

[XMW]

No chance of HHH beating the streak. He has said numerous times Undertaker is the biggest legend in this industry, and he has mad respect for Taker..

Also Taker's streak is already iffy anyway. He never beat Giant Gonzales at WM9, and he should've been DQ'ed at WM19 lol. And I dont see Undertaker cheating, it doesn't really fit him, probably just HBK making the "right decision" something like that.

[claud3]

This is what i am loving the most HBK, Triple H and the Undertaker in the same ring and yes HBK is the ref. But he will bring what he does best to the ring and that is enjoyment of watching him... Its going to be an epic match

[Molo316]

Noticed this:

Is this not John Laurinaitis in the background when Stone Cold drove the Zamboni into Raw in '98?

Well like I said in my previous post about the WWE being predictable and boring, that stuff you wrote in bold sounds stupid. Im glad Rock is back for whenever he comes to entertain but I feel like he's restrained due to the era. People are mad that he isn't there week to week but if he was then he would bury most of the current talent seeing as most of them suck. Then when he leaves the crowd wouldn't want to see the likes of those Rock buried and the WWE would be stuck. Back to Cena, his character needs to evolve and go through transformations just as Rock, Austin, HHH, and Takers (remember the american badass character). He needs to be entertaining cuz he just is NOT, at least that is my opinion on why I hate him and other hate him as well. But I wouldn't care about the outcome of the WM match seeing as I already feel and know Cena will win, I hardly watch the product. I think the biggest thing that will be intriguing is HOW he wins, if he does win.

[mankind]

I took a few years break from the WWE as it was shit, im heading down that road again. I cant even watch smackdown no more and then they fucked up the punk angle. Wrestlemania will suck, who the fuck wants to see HHH vs Undertaker again? The only match of interest is Rock vs Cena and Cena will win but by turning heel.

[XMW]

WrestleMania will suck? I'm looking forward to WM big time. I didn't want Taker vs HHH III, but the storyline has been booked very well so far, not to mention HBK is involved, and it's a HIAC match which will guarentee a good match. Jericho vs Punk should be a great wrestling contest, and if given enough time - so can Bryan vs Sheamus. Rock vs Cena wont be a technical classic, but nobody is expecting it to be one, this is just attitude era vs PG era, just like it was golden era/hulkamania vs attitude era in 2002.

Also not sure if anyone cares but I just read this:

"Considered as one of the top independent wrestling stars to rise to prominence in 2011, Combat Zone Wrestling, Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE Wrestling star Sami Callihan is on the WWE radar, after undergoing a tryout for WWE producers at WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown this week, this according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com."

Sami Callihan has gone from being one of the most hated in 2009 to one of the most loved in 2011. He got himself in great shape and took as many bookings as he could and nowadays he's usually at the top of the card. I really suggest checking out his match with Finlay from EVOLVE 8 and his match with AR Fox from CZW COD13.

Just looking at the footage of that raw and its really hard to tell if its him or not

[Molo316]

Yeah. If it is him he looks incredibly skinny, but the face really does look like him.

[claud3]

Yeah. If it is him he looks incredibly skinny, but the face really does look like him.

Or maybe its his brother and that was his break into the wwe and maybe its just a chance that it was just someone that looks like him. Either way i guess we will just have to go with the fact

IS IT OR ISN'T IT ?
