Today as ideas were going through my mind for a topic on which to write about and/or post on my YouTube account http://www.youtube.com/user/oliew11?feature=mhsn , I finally thought of one and a good one at that. So I decided to post a newer version of my usual video layout, not only did it take me ages to finish and look half decent, but it also took ages to find all the media aspects and upload the dam thing. Then finally after all the BS that surrounded this video and the now over hyped idea (more of a theory), the video kept on stopping and it did not upload the whole video. So in the end I wasted almost 4 hours of my Sunday afternoon on a project that came to nothing.
But I am not willing to give up just yet, I have now decided to post my idea (more of a theory) on this very blog. Which, with all suspense, leads me to my idea (more of a theory), it is based around the franchise player of World Wrestling Entertainment, John Cena, and how he has been booked over the last six years after winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 21 and the harsh reputation that he has been placed with throughout the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community).
During this time Cena has been placed in some high profile matches and some not so high profile matches, but he always seems to come out on top, against whoever he is facing,whether it be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels or an over seven foot giant who can barley walk properly, let alone wrestle in the Great Khali (dont know how he still has a job) . John is always booked in an either strong position or a over coming the odds role and I find that most of John's most successful matches and feuds come from him being in the latter role.
To prove my point, four of his most successful opponents over the last six years, in my opinion, has been the previously wrote about Shawn Michaels, the Rated R Superstar Edge and the former Legend Killer now Viper Randy Orton and the Voice of the Voiceless, and my personal favorite, CM Punk and in all of those feuds the Doctor of Thuganomics has been on the defensive side of the feud, whether it be going through a brutal Elimination Chamber match and then having the Ultimate Opportunist Edge cash in a contact where he can have a match for the world title, at any time and any place, called the Money in the Bank, leading to Cena to lose and get screwed on not only this occasion but on many more over the next two years. Or in a more recent example where, over the last three months CM Punk has targeted Cena in such a way that he has been known as the status quo within the title picture, and this angle has not only elevated Punk to top dog level but has also shown character development in Cena himself.
So in conclusion I feel one of the reasons that John Cena has got a bad reputation over the last six years because WWE Creative has booked Cena well only around Summerslam and WrestleMania time period, in which are the most profitable time periods of the year but in my opinion they need to ALWAYS book him as over coming the odds and maybe come out on top and sometimes not, depending what is better for the story, characters and business. As most of Cena's great feuds has been booked this way for example, the two I have mentioned, Batista leading up to WrestleMania 26, Shawn Michaels leading to WrestleMania 23 (that also has to do with the actual match been one of my favorite matches of all time), All of his feuds with Randy Orton and even some lesser known feuds where his was up against opponents that do not have to quality to be main event but Cena made them look like stars.Two examples of this is the seven foot tall, previously mentioned Great Khali and a man with a character that had no longevity but was still not only over, but a great wrestler in the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga, a man sadly who is no longer with us.
In the end it is a simple to book Cena and make both him and his opponent look good (like WWE like to do), of course change it up every now and again but this is the platform that all his matches, in my opinion, need to be showcased on.
