Awww hell naww... :sad1:

Just watched the pre-show and heard the news. No, just no! :

But there's kinda an upside to it, he'll be on the announcing team, so at least he won't be gone from WWE.

Well, it's sad for sure, but I didn't think he was that good.

Still better than Reigns and Cena :heenan:

Well, not really. :dawg:

 

[Prince Bálor]

Well, not really. :dawg:

You're right, Reigns and Cena are the best. :happy:

Well, Graves was pretty average imo. He never blew me away with his promos, and granted he had some good matches, but I never thought much of him in particular as a worker. Plus his character was meh. If we ignore looks and all that he may be better than Reigns, but he's not a better wrestler than Cena.

Nah, I'm serious. I mean, obviously, Cena as a character is terrible, most of his promos come off corny, but he is able to cut a great promo. He has done it before. Plus, Cena, over the years, has wrestled in lots of great matches. Corey was bland and yeah, had a good match with Neville here and there and stuff, but he never blew me away.

Oh, well... I don't like Cena, nor Reigns.

Not saying Graves is the best wrestler out there, I just prefer him over Cena and little Cena 2.0

As far as Cena's matches go, yeah, he can put on a good match, but that doesn't happen very often. Personally, I think his match with Rollins at TLC is gonna be good.

Well, I think you're letting their booking affect your opinion on them. Granted, obviously it affects everyone and it should, but I think if you just look at how good they are, Cena beats Graves, and if we leave looks aside Graves is better than Reigns. But anyway.

Cena beats Graves? That'd be good to see, but I guess it's out of the window now.

Man, I used to love Cena as a heel. I just hate the WWE for limiting the guys and micromanaging everything.

One night in and he's already far better on commentary than he was in the ring. And better than Riley.
