HBK has had a million accolades and has been apart of the "CLIQUE" since what has it been 10 years? Now one of those members of the Clique is married to a Mcmahon. I wonder if he gets special booking? When he doesn't get special booking he oversells making the other guy look like an idiot. since you seem so oblivious of the past I'll say something recent, If he's MR. Wrestlemania why the fuck did he oversell Hogan so much and just couldn't let THE MAN have his last match at WM special. It always has to be about SHawn and his fucking ego isn't it?
First off, it was Summerslam.
Second, you are going to blame HBK's ego for what happened? Lol, why dont you try Hogan "injuring" and refusing a rematch in which he would lose.
Third, had HBK not oversold, the match would have rather mediocre.
doesn't. How long were those feuds and did they go over well?
Cena made out of a Khali a main eventer. That alone tells you if the feud work. JBL vs Cena has being going since 2005 and Cena vs Umaga was one of the most underrated feuds of 2007.
But hey, I guess it's better to just remember the feuds you prefer.
Cena getting boo'd = more buyrates. ok people are sparked to see how wwe reacts to Their boytoy getting boo'd. perhaps this will the night that douchebag might even lose the title. I remember buying those PPV's and i bought them because I'm a dumbass who's as loyal as a dog
Yeah, you can blame it on that, you can blame it on whatever you want. The fact it people bought the PPV to see Cena. Whether it was to see him lose or see him win, you bought the damn PPV, and it is what matters.
It's funny that people still buy the PPVs and he isnt getting booed now.
That's not what i ment by selling but you're seriously a fucking idiot if you think Cena can sell better then taker. He can't even take the majority of moves correctly which is why most wrestler's are limited when they face off against him. He can't perform any of his moves without wrecking the authenticity of it. and he looks like he's taking a shit when he puts someone in the stfu.
are you fucking serious? Watch a taker match and see how he sells please.
[/QUOTE]
yeah, I see how he sells. He lets himself get rag dolled, then throws some punches who people sell as if they were bombshells, controls, controls, takes a finisher, sits up and Tombstones, not even showing signs of the beat down from the match.
cena at least limbs after the match.
And if by selling you meant selling merchandise, Cena also outdoes Taker in that.
YEAH BECAUSE TAKER/FOLEY HELL IN THE CELL OR HELL TAKER/HARDY LADDER MATCH ON RAW WAS NO WHERE AS GOOD AS CENA CHOKING UMAGA OUT WITH THE ROPES...The only reason you remember cena matches is because he differs his generic moveset by a hair or two. While Taker, you can throw him in anything and he shines, Ladder matches, submission matches, normal matches, tag team, TLC, Hardcore. ANYTHING he touches he excels in it. EVERY MATCH TAKER IS IN, IT'S A BIG TIME MATCH. GOD DAMNIT CMS WTF.
Oh really, I mean, Taker excels on so many different types of matches. Please tell me what Taker did different in TLC against Edge than HIAC against Edge. He did the same things, the same spots.
Oh, yeah, I mean, it doesn't get much bigger than Taker vs Henry, Taker vs Big Daddy V, Taker vs Khali. Yeah, they are sure big time matches. BTW, now that we are in it, Taker wrestled the same matches against them all.
Yeah because that's all we know about guys like Hogan, Rock and Austin. Just 5 minute hype videos and then we remember what they did. The streak is just as big as his name. and his name deserves to go beside those three easily.
No, and we won't only remember Taker by his Streak. That's exactly my point. We will remember the 6 time World Champion Taker, the ministry, his feud with Kane, all the big time moments he has given, just like we do with Hogan, Rock and Austin.
We won't forget Taker, but we will forget the streak. Taker's name and accomplishments matter the entire year, but tell me, of how use The Streak is when building Summerslam? Like i said, the Streak would only be used to play a nice little video like the ones we're getting showned hyping Mania.
Can anyone say they've had as much money invested in them? WWE put all their eggs in one basket with Cena and they won't him fail. Even though he should of A long time ago. And who ranks the biggest draws? Some corporate site? Give me someone with credentials saying Cena is no doubt 100% a bigger draw then Cena and i'll show you someone who drinks the fruit punch WWE left out.
Merchandise sales are shown on WWE.com and are reported by WWE at the end of each year, so that's the source, WWE.
As for the rest, you can easily check the top buys for PPVs, and Taker, guess what, is in only one, WM 24, which was bought hardly for him.
But hey, I mean, Cena vs HBK was bought for HBK, and Cena vs HHH was bought because of HHH, and Cena vs Orton was bought because of Orton.
As for your response for the 2001 thing, you said RVD had the IT factor, That for me drops the entire argument, specially since apparently you consider more charismatic, a better seller, with better psychology, than guys like Edge and Christian.
