Yeah. Looks like we're back to classic Cena. The guy who makes everything his opponent says not matter. Shame too, Rybak's promo was good and screw the people in the crowd calling it boring.
Did the crowd chant it? I thought it was good - and I loved that they put in video clips (it was totally old school). But yes, classic Cena.

I was hoping they just left Ryback face in this. He could still use his valid beef against Cena but why does he have to be a pouty chicken shit now? I can't stand that.
Yeah, I was actually ready to finally get behind Rybak as a babyface with this storyline. I loved his surprise attack on Cena and I enjoyed his promo explaining why he did it. The heel turn is a questionable decision, and given how bad Cena often is at getting guys over, this could be the final nail in the coffin for Rybak

Speaking of turns, I found myself wondering why they don't just turn Fandango face. If his music is so over now and people are into his gimmick it seems like a good move. Maybe they'll Daniel Bryan him. DB sort of became a face without ever really turning face. He kept hating on the crowd and they loved him for it.

I seriously question your taste in wrestling at times. I mean really...Fandango? You think he's good? :?

I can see the ladies liking him, as he's a handsome guy. But as for the rest of us, hmmm. He's shown us barely any actual in-ring wrestling at all. And his character is laugh-out-loud ridiculous. It's reminiscent of the over-the-top cartoony guys we started seeing in the early 90s.

I never said I liked Fandango. If you've been paying attention you'd see that he's gotten really over with crowds since Mania and has been getting lots of media attention. I was just pointing out that maybe a face turn would be a good idea for him considering all that.

You're really clueless about what's going on sometimes.

I'm clueless because I'm not a fan of a Harelquinn Romance novel reject? Okay.

It will be a few months before we get an official buyrate for the WrestleMania 29 pay-per-view but F4Wonline.com reports that three different sources this past week stated that very early estimates do not look good. One number being floated around was "downright shocking." WWE's own internal projections were lowered substantially in the final week before the pay-per-view based on the Elimination Chamber buys coming in lower than expected.
Wow. I didn't order WrestleMania this year, because 2 rematches for the main-events just didn't seem worth the $70 for it. But I would have thought that it would have still sold-well since there were some big names involved. I'm surprised.

Micheal Bay on The Rock's surgery: "He needs to grow up and stop wrestling 300 pound men".

Another reason to dislike Bay.

How about trashing his own movies, lol. My wife was watching E! News the other night, and I heard Bay talking about what terrible Armageddon was...which he made.

Get this...He retracted that statement and said he didn't "apologize" for it.
