kafkonia Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I thought Bryan got married a month or two back? Or were those wedding photos in the picture thread from something else? Engagement photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Z Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I wanted Cesaro to win, but there is a reason that beating Cena clean is so special. I am happy to see Cesaro's star presence really take off in the last few weeks. He has always had the in-ring ability, but seemed to lack the "it" factor that top of the card guys possess. He has found that, and major credit to Zeb for helping Cesaro find his voice while staying himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Seriously, doing that superplexesque spot on a guy Cena's size is just fucking insane. And Cena was all "hey, you fuckers all forget I'm absurdly strong too?" and then he nearly murdered Claudio with the hardest clothesline he's thrown since the first Rock match, and then we got another insanely awesome finish just like we did Friday and... God damn that was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 A few months ago someone on here pitched the idea of an aging superstar gimmick. Someone who could job to lower guys some nights, but also might win the big one from time to time. I think that is Christian's current role.

Cole Miner Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cena's leap from a stationary position was the most impressive thing about that superplex. Wasn't much weight for Cesaro at all. Except for the weight on his thigh from Cena using it to balance himself during the leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cesaro couldn't have done it without Cena's help, but you're out of your mind if you think every bit of that lift was Cena. If you've still got the footage stored, you can see that when he initially does the move you can see the full shot from behind Cena on the Titantron between Cesaro's legs. Cena doesn't even get a full knee-bend in before leaping. Quite a bit of Cena's weight was on Cesaro's shoulders via Cena's left arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cena also used the ropes to propel himself up, but I was thinking about this and even with Cena's limited help, he's still lifting a 250lb? guy over the top rope, over his head, from the floor - WHILE STANDING ON THE ROPES HIMSELF. Think of the balancing act. I don't think I could lift Cena above my head if he had handles and was lying on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who could job to lower guys some nights, but also might win the big one from time to time. I think that is Christian's current role. He's basically been in Tito Santana's '90s role since returning, albeit with way more upward mobility, and an occasional main event run. It's probably the best role for him now since he's been on the DL a lot since his 2009 return - all of those TLC and ladder matches are definitely catching up with him.

Ramsey Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well, I've come to the party late as I recorded Raw and only sat down with it last night. While there was a lot of fast forward material, the pay offs were still there. Bryan vs. Christian was a fun opener. Christian really seems to be working his ass off to make his last (probably) major run good and he's doing it where he has opportunity to do so. Batista, just go home. You're not the Rock, you're not in ring shape, and all the HHH buddy time in the world is making anyone give a shit about you. Strangley, I don't hate seeing Sheamus in the ring. He does need to shut up, but working snug with Randy "the least interestiing" Orton is entertaining enough. The Shield continues to entertain the shit out of me and, in a world where the WWE was good at booking teams breaking up, all three would be positioned to be the leaders of the company. Cesaro vs. Cena was off the hook great. Cesaro and Reigns or Ambrose at Mania 32 or 33 is a delightful thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think Christian isn't going to stick around whenever his contract is up. Everything I ever read about him says the creative team doesn't like him because he always complains when they don't have anything for him. Which is like...always.

goodhelmet Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 With all of the Cesaro and Miz talk, it isn't surprising that Miz had his last really good matches with Cesaro. Before Cesaro, it was Jerry Lawler. You can have a top to bottom awesome roster and still have some useless guys sticking around like Miz. Even 1986 NWA had guys like Teijo Khan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Dunno if anyone mentioned this yet but Bray yelling "HELPLESS! HELPLESS!" before pitching one of los Matadores clear across the ring was great, then he upped the ante by doing a callback to Brody and Hansen in Japan by yelling "SQUEEZE!"

JRV Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Enjoy: The best setup for the AA ever. I took it as Cena needing to bust out something different to trick Cesaro since everything else was scouted. That oklahoma roll AA might have been the first time I ever legit popped for Cena.

Imagine you saw that happen and the first thing you did was get on twitter and whine about Cena winning? Wrestling fans are an abomination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
