I Have Cenauff (Seen Enough)
Winging this blog topic again of sorts, but also giving you a glimpse into who Miss Dani is. And this post today will help you understand that.
I have been a fan of pro wrestling since I was old enough to tie my shoes. For the past thirty years, I have been watching "sport entertainment" or what I call an "athletic soap opera". Muscular men, fit women, complete with scripted lines and flashy outrageous costumes. Funky, strange names. Lines that tell a story, and fans like me that scream in attendance at an event.
These people live on the road 200-300 days per year, away from their families. In a suitcase. And they get injured, but work through the injuries because it's their job. And their job is being a larger than life character. Olympic medalist Kurt Angle's neck injuries led to a painkiller addiction, while the head injuries over the years led to the brain activity which led Chris Benoit to murder his wife and their son and take his own life in 2007.
But we're not going to discuss wrestling itself or what has happened. The point is that I watch what most people consider fake. And yes, it is fake. But the injuries are "damn real" in the words of Kurt Angle. I have a job as a teacher, part time retail, nanny agency owner and Perfectly Posh consultant. Wrestlers have a job too. And that job is being a character on television.
And two of those people are Roman Reigns and John Cena.
The epic confrontation of sorts that took place a few weeks on Monday Night Raw made headlines and possibly being unscripted by the producers. I literally watched the segment three, maybe four times, because it drew me in as a viewer. And the person that drew me in isn't the one that people think it is. When I tell people I don't like this person, they look at me like I'm strange.
I don't like John Cena. I used to, but not anymore.
WWE created Cena to be the second coming of Hulk Hogan. Cena is everywhere-movies, Today show, Total Bellas, etc. He is supposed to be one of the nicest people in the business and in life. That's Cena off screen. On screen, he's shoved down our throats week after week, and has some sort of superpower that would make Superman jealous. The promo between Reigns and Cena was epic, and for the last two weeks, the two have been trading jabs. According to my favorite wrestling news website lordsofpain.net, the problem with the promo is that Reigns wouldn't have the guts to say this to Cena in real life. Not to mention, that the WWE is looking for the next top star and they have pushed Reigns a little too hard that nobody likes him. There's more that could go into this, but if you don't watch WWE, you won't understand where I am coming from.
Reigns won't say it John, but I will. And I hope you see this.
I liked you in 2002, and as a heel. Back when you had the Thuganomics theme and played the heel. Now you are overpaid, and frankly, boring with a capital B. I'm sorry, but I was part of the Hogan era, and you are nothing like him. You say that Reigns is corporate created. No, that's you. And everyone knows it. If the WWE was smart, they would make you heel. You know the chant "John Cena Sucks"? I yell that chant along with the majority of the arena at live events. That's because you do suck, and everyone knows it. Of course they won't say it to your face, because they know they have consequences for their actions.
But I have no consequences. I'm just a fan with an opinion.
WWE, listen to us. The fans. If you figure out what to do with Reigns and really embrace his background or repackage him, it could work for him. What you are doing now doesn't work. He does need more help, so develop him more. Better.
Hell, reunite the Shield.
If you don't listen to us, we won't attend live events, which are fun. If Cena beats Reigns, we riot.
Welcome to the Roman Empire.
