Yeah Cena's wont sell out mania, no one cares about him, oh wait....
Judging by the "incredible" split of cheers and boos (let's split that 50-50 and then consider maybe only a few male audience members are a part of the cheering, and the rest are a part of the boos), I'd say Cena couldn't sell out Monday Night Raw all on his own... in fact, the sheer number of people who actually marked when Cena got jumped by Nexus (it was a pretty huge POP from the crowd, rather than a heat-superior moment) is a testament to that argument. How many people bought WrestleMania the past few years just to see John Cena? I know for a fact that the Houston Mania sold tickets to people strongly in favor of JUST seeing HBK and Money In The Bank... Cena is not the most in demand performance on the grandest stage of 'em all.
Don't get me wrong, we're not arguing that he doesn't have more people in favor of him than against him, and he does get reactions which top nearly all other superstars... but we're not exactly talking like the E is producing guys to really challenge that at the moment.
If it was that memorable, you'd pay to see it again, unless of course, you're just a flash in the pan who barely gets a reaction when his music plays lime Miz.
You actually pay to see something topped, not really repeated. Given that EVERYTHING has been repeated over the last couple years and numbers have steadily declined or fallen to an even level way below WWE's early-mid 2000's numbers, I'd say there aren't many people who are buying into shit the WWE is doing, thus, even the top performers on the cards are not the draws you would insist they are over even the guys who are just now getting opportunities to prove they can be the future ME scene...
Something Miz can't do, and that's why he's not WWE Championship material.
I haven't been ultimately blown away by the Miz, but I'm not clouding my judgment of the guy by wanting him off my screen the second he hits it... and I'd actually color myself impressed with his performances the past several weeks; especially considering, what if he goes over Orton at the Rumble? Again, you'd rather see the strap on who right now? Let's immediately eliminate Cena and Orton for their numerous back and forth runs over the past 3 years, so that leaves us with Punk, Sheamus, R-Truth, and Ted DiBiase.
Punk's involved in a storyline right now with Cena, so eliminate him immediately from the title picture. Outside of attacking Triple H and being clowned by Santino, Sheamus pales in comparison (icwutididthar) to The Miz in terms of crowd reaction (by the way, the fact that you said Miz gets no reaction at all, I've got to question what you've ever really watched of the guy, because last I checked, he was pretty much behind Jericho and Punk as heel mic-men on Raw. R-Truth, well, I'm biased in my absolute hate for the guy, he gets pops, etc., but IMO if you put the strap on R-Truth, you're hard-pressed to not put the World Heavyweight Championship on a younger, more athletic, and more naturally charismatic Kofi Kingston who has put on some GREAT matches with Jack Swagger, whereas Truth has not had a match that has stood out to me. But I'll play the fair card and say my hate for Truth equates to your hate for Miz, so we'll call that one a draw. Last is DiBiase, who, again, became what Cody Rhodes was supposed to become, whereas Cody is ascending the ranks much like The Miz did.
Simply, by earning your spot, by showing that you can carry the title by working with guys who are above you and holding your own, and not having to be carried.
Once again, Miz went over DX. And again, we're talking about a MITB winner. So you're suggesting Miz should have forfeit the MITB briefcase and devoted himself to years upon years of playing the Chris Benoit role and waiting for another company to overrun this one before jumping ship and being given the strap on the sympathy-tip? No, you don't surrender what MITB means like that... he won the belt the same way any of 'em have, the same way anyone would with that stipulation... and instead of being beaten for the belt within a month like the other guys, the E has actually given this guy a run...
And someone doesn't grasp the concept of splitting hairs.
Splitting hairs = That Dorito is Cheddar and THAT Dorito is Spicy Cheddar; it's pointing out a very minute but somewhat obvious difference.
So the fact that he's feuding with John Cena is proof of his character changing...
Yes, and the way in which he's feuding with Cena comparable to the way in which he feuded with the overrated mid-carder Big Show. By the way, did you watch Raw the other night? He's now gone from reformist by example to gang-leader manipulator... the guy literally jumped in his Nexus! We're not talking recruits the likes of DX, we're talking Bloods and Crips style jump-ins in the PG-era WWE!
Actually, his biggest claim to fame was the series of matches and the feud he had with Austin whilst he was in the Nation that overshadowed Bret Hart and DX.
The Rock's feud with Austin lasted 3 months, and was a sidebar (albeit a pretty good one) feud to his overall feud with Triple H and Farooq. In fact, after that Austin feud, Rock didn't really encounter Austin again for quite a long time because of Triple H, Farooq, Ken Shamrock, and Mankind. Then, after that long-ass feud with Mankind, Rock finally got his chance to feud with Austin... I suggest you read an autobiography or watch a documentary sometime, Kaedon. You seem a bit rusty here.
Who doesn't agree with him about guys having to improve? All anyone is saying is that Miz doesn't have to improve as much as Kaedon is suggesting.
