    I applaud him for being honest and putting the blame on Vince, where it rightfully belongs. When you are Majority Share Holder, President/Chairman of the Board, and CEO, literally nothing in the company moves without your say so, especially the main product. It's real easy to throw Cena under the bus, but the fact is, he's a company man, he always has been. Vince tells Cena to do a job, he does the job. It's not Cena's fault that the boss was too scared to tarnish his golden goose a little to put someone else over.

They don't realise that they can like and cheer and hate and boo whoever they want whether they're a face or a heel. They think they have to like and cheer faces just because they're the "good guys" whether their characters are interesting or not and boo heels just because they're the "bad guys." Only faces with actual personality and character traits who are interesting and entertaining should be cheered. Not the generic "good guy with no personality or character except good guy" Hogan, Cena and Reigns types.

      Don the problem is that the guy in charge got comfortable as soon as he bought WCW and became afraid to pull the trigger on anything, so he trapped the entire company in a looping cycle for the past almost 20 years and basically fucked over an entire generation of Pro Wrestlers... why would anybody in the locker room want to be competitive or have any pride in their character if they knew that at any moment they could and were most likely going to have the rug pulled out from under them. There is no reason to compete, there is no reason to care. The toxic part is dumbing down the role of the talent to the point of them just being bit actors in a half rate sketch comedy routine. Nobody needs to actually be a pro to work at WWE... all the stuff that made the true pros pros is all sanitized and choreographed... that’s why half of their roster is as green as grass in spring time. The art form as been removed almost completely, except only a handful of guys are allowed a little bit more leeway.
      As far as AEW goes, they just need some time to iron out some kinks. It still feels too much like a big budget indy show. They give the guys enough freedoms to have pride in their characters but I don’t think they have enough people helping them develop an on screen presentation, opposed to a live audience presentation.

      The finish should have been different, but atleast he admitted he was wrong

      doubt it.. more likely that the merch sales were peaking and WWE wanted to milk that shit for as long as they could

    John Cena is the real Undertaker. Now he's gone and WWE don't realize the damage he made by burying so many talented wrestlers like Stu Bennett.

    People talk about him getting injured, but if The Nexus were still kept strong and relevant, and Barrett was a heel champion, he could still act as the leader of the group and have them doing his dirty work while he recovered, still making TV appearances and all.

      He did. You should listen to Edge and Jericho talk about it on Jericho's pod cast. They were all for the Nexus winning and thought Cena was wrong. Edge said that a few years later, Cena admitted he was wrong and yeah, Nexus should have won......but it was too late by then.

    Wade Barrett would have been a wonderful WWE Champion. He has the look, mic & promo skills& in ring ability. Man a waste on WWE’s part, they missed a star talent

    Watching this at 2023. Wade could literally be the next top heel. Look, height, vibes, and mic skill. Too sad that almost all Nexus member are now gone, i remember when Shield told vince that they need to win the fight against John Cena.

  • @insignificantaftermathPROJECTS

    Barrett has such a great voice to listen to.
