<v Speaker 1>It has been three years since I have done one

<v Speaker 1>of these. I think enough time has gone by. It

<v Speaker 1>is the return of a segment that I started over

<v Speaker 1>six years ago called URSPW Rewind And if you can

<v Speaker 1>believe it, this is episode thirty eight and I am

<v Speaker 1>the solo monster. This is where we look back at

<v Speaker 1>what the smart marks we're discussing long before the cesspool

<v Speaker 1>of today that is social media. I started this basically

<v Speaker 1>as it was a segment originally as part of the

<v Speaker 1>actual SoundOff podcast. And I started this many years ago

<v Speaker 1>on the SoundOff in twenty nineteen as a way of

<v Speaker 1>showing people that wrestling fans complaining online was a thing

<v Speaker 1>way before we were all accustomed to it here on

<v Speaker 1>social media, on Facebook and Twitter and every other place

<v Speaker 1>that basically people bitch and about wrestling. But they were

<v Speaker 1>bitching and moaning about things even back when Brett Hart

<v Speaker 1>won his first WWE title and the nWo was born. Now,

<v Speaker 1>back then, just to give a little history lesson here,

<v Speaker 1>it was a newsgroup called RSPW, which the Urban Dictionary

<v Speaker 1>defines in a couple of different ways. Two ways. In particular,

<v Speaker 1>it defines it as an acronym for rc dot sport

<v Speaker 1>dot pro dash Wrestling a us Net group filled with insane,

<v Speaker 1>hostile trolls, which is a very accurate description. It's also

<v Speaker 1>defined as a us Net discussion board where wrestling and

<v Speaker 1>a number of other topics are discussed in depth, where

<v Speaker 1>who is still Jim Knighthart and where Triple H is

<v Speaker 1>regarded the same as Adolph Hitler. It's a little extreme.

<v Speaker 1>So many of those old posts, unfortunately many of them

<v Speaker 1>have been lost to time and space. However, if you

<v Speaker 1>know where to look, there actually are quite a few

<v Speaker 1>posts that are still available to search for. For example,

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to show you right now and before we

<v Speaker 1>get into all of the actual posts, I'm going to

<v Speaker 1>be diving into here in a moment. But I was

<v Speaker 1>able to find what is believed to be and regarded

<v Speaker 1>as the oldest archive post on all of RSPW if

<v Speaker 1>you can believe it, from January third, nineteen ninety. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>this is how far back that we are going here

<v Speaker 1>by Brent Higginbotham. He says, well, I see one person here.

<v Speaker 1>Is this a new group? I'm new to this whole

<v Speaker 1>v news thing, or at least being able to write

<v Speaker 1>as well as Reid. Anyways, I'm a longtime wrestling fan

<v Speaker 1>and get a special kick out of the NWA gang.

<v Speaker 1>So who else is out there? Started out so innocently,

<v Speaker 1>didn't it. He just wanted to talk some wrastlin. So

<v Speaker 1>let's dive right in here. What I've done is I

<v Speaker 1>have pulled a bunch of random posts, including some on

<v Speaker 1>John Cena, and we'll get to those towards the end.

<v Speaker 1>Because John Cena, as I am recording this here early

<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty six, just retired at the end of

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, so I was thinking, well, it would

<v Speaker 1>probably make sense to pull some John Cena posts. Originally

<v Speaker 1>I was going to plan to get this up right

<v Speaker 1>after he retired. It took a little bit longer to

<v Speaker 1>put this together. Another reason, by the way, that this

<v Speaker 1>has been resurrected and we are doing this is because

<v Speaker 1>on one of the live streams here on the channel

<v Speaker 1>many many weeks ago, you guys hit a goal during

<v Speaker 1>the live stream, and I promised you that I would

<v Speaker 1>be bringing back rspw rewinds. So that is why we

<v Speaker 1>are doing it. So I want to thank everybody out

<v Speaker 1>there who enjoyed all the old segments and wanted to

<v Speaker 1>see it brought back at least this one time. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>we'll do more. But what I'm going to do right

<v Speaker 1>now is, as I said, pull some random posts, some

<v Speaker 1>on John Cena, and there are other posts that invoked

<v Speaker 1>the name of one Dave Meltzer. There's actually a bunch

<v Speaker 1>of Meltzer related posts here. And as you will see

<v Speaker 1>as we go along here, Uncle Dave was a very

<v Speaker 1>polarizing figure even back then. So let us begin, and

<v Speaker 1>we're going to start out here with a post from

<v Speaker 1>April seventeenth, two thousand and one, titled Dave Meltzer's show

<v Speaker 1>is boring shit. Not boring as shit as you could

<v Speaker 1>see here on your screen. Boring shit is the title

<v Speaker 1>of this post. Now. Dave used to host. For those

<v Speaker 1>of you who don't know, Dave used to host a

<v Speaker 1>show on Iata, which was an internet talk radio network

<v Speaker 1>that shut down later that year basically after the dot

<v Speaker 1>com bubble burst. It was sort of a forerunner to

<v Speaker 1>what podcasts are today. What this person says, no wonder

<v Speaker 1>this guy is on internet only quote unquote radio and

<v Speaker 1>not real radio. If he broadcast on real radio, he

<v Speaker 1>would be inundated with lawsuits from drivers that were in

<v Speaker 1>accidents caused by spontaneous narcolepsy brought about by the my

<v Speaker 1>numbing horribleness of his show. Hell, Dave and Phil from

<v Speaker 1>DC should already be outlaws. There are computers in places

<v Speaker 1>with heavy machinery and in places that perform critical tasks,

<v Speaker 1>and they might cause a serious accident. One day, Newby replied,

<v Speaker 1>this show has gotten really bad since the official demise

<v Speaker 1>of WCW. He spends a good thirty minutes talking about

<v Speaker 1>types of wrestling that I would imagine is not being

<v Speaker 1>watched by most American fans. You could tell that Dave

<v Speaker 1>had a lot of fans on RSPW and by the way,

<v Speaker 1>I see a lot of those same critiques about Dave

<v Speaker 1>even today. You know that he spends too much time

<v Speaker 1>talking about Japanese wrestling, he spends too much time talking

<v Speaker 1>about CML and the Mexican scene. And it's almost as

<v Speaker 1>if there's wrestling outside of the United States that some

<v Speaker 1>people give a shit about. It's almost as if it's

<v Speaker 1>his job to cover all of these different promotions. I

<v Speaker 1>know it's mind blowing to think of, but yes, there

<v Speaker 1>is life outside the US when it comes to wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>I know it's hard to believe but then we have

<v Speaker 1>Benny on May fourth, two thousand and two, with a

<v Speaker 1>post titled Dave Meltzer ripped me off and this one

<v Speaker 1>caught my eye. I said, I have to toss this

<v Speaker 1>one here in the old pile, says, as some of

<v Speaker 1>you may know, the I guess gaya or gaya, we'll say,

<v Speaker 1>We'll say Gaya. GYA Girls documentary was screened in the

<v Speaker 1>UK several weeks ago. Dave requested a copy in NTSC

<v Speaker 1>four Matt on his site, and I emailed him offering

<v Speaker 1>to send a copy of the tape. He asked what

<v Speaker 1>I wanted in exchange, and I asked for last year's

<v Speaker 1>Observer Year End Awards issue, which I'm sure most of

<v Speaker 1>you will agree is a more than reasonable request. I

<v Speaker 1>sent the tape to Dave, and after a weeks have

<v Speaker 1>received nothing from him. I emailed him again nothing. Just

<v Speaker 1>because he runs a newsletter doesn't give him the right

<v Speaker 1>to rip people off. We had a deal. I kept

<v Speaker 1>my end of the bargain. Captain Dan responds, I met

<v Speaker 1>Dave Meltzer backstage at a WWF show two years ago.

<v Speaker 1>Perry Saturn was wrestling Crash Holly in a match tape

<v Speaker 1>for jacked. I said to him, I bet you a

<v Speaker 1>million dollars Crash wins this match. He said, yeah, right, okay,

<v Speaker 1>and Crash one. So I turned to him and said, okay,

<v Speaker 1>where's my million bucks? And he just ran away. WTF

<v Speaker 1>see with this fall into the category of Meltzer fanfic?

<v Speaker 1>Is that how you would define it? I could believe

<v Speaker 1>the first story, but I don't believe that last story.

<v Speaker 1>Moving on though, we have super stud On July ninth,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one. Ah, yes, July ninth, two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and one, the night that Stephanie McMahon walked out on

<v Speaker 1>Raw as the new owner of ECW, and a very

<v Speaker 1>promising Angle took a very horrible turn. I remember that

<v Speaker 1>night very well. Actually shot an incredible angle in that

<v Speaker 1>first hour, and then it sort of fell off a

<v Speaker 1>cliff there at the end. But anyway, this is a

<v Speaker 1>post titled Meltzer passes the torch to Brian Alvarez says

<v Speaker 1>that was an awesome ending to a kick ass wrestling

<v Speaker 1>show for the last few years. Dave Meltzer saying that

<v Speaker 1>Brian Alvarez will become the best wrestling journalist was really classy.

<v Speaker 1>So again, what he's referring to here is Dave's final

<v Speaker 1>IATA show. Evidently he put over Brian is the future

<v Speaker 1>of wrestling reporting. But not everybody was thrilled about this,

<v Speaker 1>As Newby responded, I hate Alvarez. He's a condescending little turd. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>Newby was not the only one who is not a fan,

<v Speaker 1>unfortunately of Brian Alvarez, because we go to Firesaber and

<v Speaker 1>I mean the title of this post here speaks for itself.

<v Speaker 1>This was one month earlier. He dropped this gem of

<v Speaker 1>a post on June thirteenth, two thousand and one, titled

<v Speaker 1>Brian Alvarez is a Bitch? Has anyone else noticed from

<v Speaker 1>the bulletin board on the Wrestling Observer how much of

<v Speaker 1>an asshole this mini me of Dave Meltzer's really is.

<v Speaker 1>I guess he hasn't figured out what keeps the pathetic website,

<v Speaker 1>radio show, and newsletter running. On second thought, keep being

<v Speaker 1>a bitch, Brian. We'll see you and Dave soon enough.

<v Speaker 1>On a freeway intersection with a sign saying will job

<v Speaker 1>for food, Stone COO eight sixty four says, I love

<v Speaker 1>posts that make no sense. My name is stone Cold.

<v Speaker 1>Joe Morrison says Meltzer is almost on the twentieth year

<v Speaker 1>of his newsletter, You idiot, but Tim Dudley, he jumped

<v Speaker 1>to Brian's defense, What are you talking about? Brian Alvarez

<v Speaker 1>is the best part of the Wrestling Observer show. Wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>you be tired of stupid fans calling up every day

<v Speaker 1>asking the same stupid questions over and over? When is

<v Speaker 1>Shawn Michael's coming back? Is HBK the Stalker? When is

<v Speaker 1>the Rock coming back? When is Goldberg coming to the WWF?

<v Speaker 1>What do you mean he was sent home in no

<v Speaker 1>condition to perform? Don't these stupid fans think that if

<v Speaker 1>any of these situations happened that Dave and Brian would

<v Speaker 1>mention it. Yeah, Goldberg signed with the WWF, but they're

<v Speaker 1>talking about the Triple A Minis instead. I wish they

<v Speaker 1>had better call screening on the show because Brian and

<v Speaker 1>his listeners are going to have an aneurism. If one

<v Speaker 1>more person asks is HBK the Stalker? Keep giving him hell? Brian, Well,

<v Speaker 1>at least Alvarez we know has at least one fan

<v Speaker 1>from back. Then someone's got to stick up for Brian.

<v Speaker 1>We move now to June eighteenth, two thousand and one,

<v Speaker 1>and we got an anonymous poster here titled how does

<v Speaker 1>how does Dave Meltzer take it? I'm going to read

<v Speaker 1>this to you that he's putting together here a mock conversation,

<v Speaker 1>so just follow along with me, says Dave. I think

<v Speaker 1>Stone Cold would be better off as a face because

<v Speaker 1>but then Brian says, it's not that he's better blah

<v Speaker 1>blah blah. Dave says, but and Brian interjects, I remember

<v Speaker 1>when blah blah blah. Dave says, but it's and then

<v Speaker 1>Brian cuts him off. I also remember when Austin on

<v Speaker 1>raw blah blah blah. Dave says that's true, but gets

<v Speaker 1>cut off again. Brian says, it still comes down to it,

<v Speaker 1>and you see the you see what he's getting at here.

<v Speaker 1>When is Dave finally going to say, shut the fuck

<v Speaker 1>up and stop talking over me? The interviews were much

<v Speaker 1>better without Alvarez. Now, I love that post because I

<v Speaker 1>find it hilarious because whenever I hear the two of

<v Speaker 1>them together now on their show, it's always Dave talking

<v Speaker 1>over Brian. It's like the complete opposite. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if maybe it was like that back then, but it's

<v Speaker 1>like a one pint eighty now from like whenever I

<v Speaker 1>hear a clip from the show of the two of

<v Speaker 1>them having a conversation or having a debate about something

<v Speaker 1>out Observer Radio, and I'm just I'm sitting here wondering

<v Speaker 1>how Brian doesn't just explode on Dave one day and

<v Speaker 1>just start like going nuts. So apparently the script has

<v Speaker 1>been flipped since two thousand and one. But then Newby

<v Speaker 1>says they both spend the entire show trying to out

<v Speaker 1>talk each other and their guests. It's awful. The Live

<v Speaker 1>Audio Wrestling show guys do a better job of hosting

<v Speaker 1>a radio show. For those of you who are not

<v Speaker 1>familiar with the law, Live Audio Wrestling That was a

<v Speaker 1>Canadian sports radio show that was discontinued a number of

<v Speaker 1>years ago. I don't remember exactly what year it went away,

<v Speaker 1>but it is very popular and Meltzer used to be

<v Speaker 1>a frequent guest. He would call in very often. But

<v Speaker 1>we're not done yet here with this post. Here, because

<v Speaker 1>this is just we have retro Junkie who jumped in

<v Speaker 1>here with the final word on how does Meltzer take

<v Speaker 1>how does Meltzer take it? Right up the ass? Oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, I love the Internet so much. It's like

<v Speaker 1>one little sentence here out of this entire post. And

<v Speaker 1>if I tell you, when I first read it, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what it was, but just the tears that

<v Speaker 1>were streaming down my face. It mustn't just hit me

<v Speaker 1>at exactly the right moment, because I just I was like, Oh,

<v Speaker 1>that's just perfect. That is just perfect. God blessed the Internet.

<v Speaker 1>Now here's one from Joey the Fuss FSAVIA from March fifth,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one, titled Hunter versus a Celebrity at WrestleMania. Now,

<v Speaker 1>this is something this is not like a joke post,

<v Speaker 1>but this is something that even I never heard of before.

<v Speaker 1>This was news to me and I had to look

<v Speaker 1>into this after the fact. But this is what the

<v Speaker 1>post says. On the law. I was home from school

<v Speaker 1>snow day Board and listened. Dave Meltzer reported that at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>it looks like Triple H will be taking on a celebrity.

<v Speaker 1>They talked about Lawrence tap Ray Lewis, so this would

<v Speaker 1>have been the year after he had the double murder

<v Speaker 1>charges against him dropped and Mike Tyson all as possibilities,

<v Speaker 1>but Meltzer doubted lt because it really wouldn't do much

<v Speaker 1>for him, and talking about Tyson, Meltzer thought that if

<v Speaker 1>given some time to work and stuff, it would be

<v Speaker 1>a good It would be good for Hunter and Helmsley

<v Speaker 1>will be able to carry him to an acceptable match,

<v Speaker 1>which honestly I don't doubt. I mean, you see what

<v Speaker 1>Bam Bam Bigelow is able to do with Lawrence Taylor.

<v Speaker 1>I think that even Triple H at that stage of

<v Speaker 1>his career would have been more than capable of bumping

<v Speaker 1>around from Mike Tyson in selling for him car. That

<v Speaker 1>would have been a completely ridiculous mismatch between the two

<v Speaker 1>of that. It should have been over in fucking fifteen seconds.

<v Speaker 1>But anyway, he said. They also sort of hinted that

<v Speaker 1>it could be a mixed tag match with Stephanie and

<v Speaker 1>some female celebrity, so would you look at that. It

<v Speaker 1>only took another seventeen years, but we did eventually get

<v Speaker 1>that mixed tag match WrestleMania with Triple H and Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>and Ronda Rousey was the celebrity. Now Stone Co eight

<v Speaker 1>sixty four wondered, the thing is will he job Scotty

<v Speaker 1>the body Flamingo chimes in Hell. I'd rather see them

<v Speaker 1>bring back the Warriors so Triple H could get some retribution.

<v Speaker 1>Newby says, I think that's a horrible idea. Triple H

<v Speaker 1>must have pissed someone off in the back for them

<v Speaker 1>to consider this. He's too good to be wrestling a

<v Speaker 1>bunch of washed up athletes. I'd rather see him referee

<v Speaker 1>the Austin versus Stone called Steve Austin match. I guess

<v Speaker 1>he means or act as a commentator than do something

<v Speaker 1>so ridiculous. Hap Jack says they should just let Ben

<v Speaker 1>Wah do his full face turn and have Ben Wah

<v Speaker 1>versus Triple H as the second main event. They could

<v Speaker 1>have a super match and steal the show from Rock

<v Speaker 1>and Austin. Well, that was just never gonna happen. Triple

<v Speaker 1>H and Benwall, We're not going you steal the show

<v Speaker 1>from Stone Cold in the Rock at WrestleMania. What it

<v Speaker 1>was this two thousand and one, two thousand and one. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they were not stealing the show from Rock in Austin.

<v Speaker 1>That's the greatest overall WrestleMania of all time. Paul says,

<v Speaker 1>I heard that they wanted to book Triple H versus God,

<v Speaker 1>but Triple H refused to job to him believable Darkseide

<v Speaker 1>two seventy eight times in a celebrity please know. I'm

<v Speaker 1>confident that Triple H will end up facing Kurt Angle

<v Speaker 1>in the semi main event. This would be the most

<v Speaker 1>logical match since there are still unresolved issues between the

<v Speaker 1>two and WrestleMania has traditionally been the place to end

<v Speaker 1>old feuds. I'm thinking that Benoa, who is still a heel,

<v Speaker 1>will end up challenging Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero, who

<v Speaker 1>appears to be going face with his radical brethren in

<v Speaker 1>a three way for the IC title. Rock versus Austin

<v Speaker 1>is the main event, and it really wouldn't make any

<v Speaker 1>logical sense at this point for Helmsley to face anybody

<v Speaker 1>other than Angle. Well about that and who an Angle phase?

<v Speaker 1>If you can't wrestle Rock or Austin Scottie two Hottie why,

<v Speaker 1>Triple H would be a perfect choice. Bank on it,

<v Speaker 1>oh Man who wants to let him know? Who wants

<v Speaker 1>to let Darkseide know? And Mikey Jericho. Hollick says, we've

<v Speaker 1>seen Triple H and Angle already for God's sake, can't

<v Speaker 1>the WWF find anything more. So I looked into this

<v Speaker 1>because again I had not heard of the whole celebrity

<v Speaker 1>angle for Triple H. I mean, it's pretty clear they

<v Speaker 1>didn't really have a good plan for Triple H. The

<v Speaker 1>whole thing with him and Undertaker was basically put together

<v Speaker 1>kind of last minute because they didn't have anything else

<v Speaker 1>for him to do. I mean, that match was just

<v Speaker 1>kind of thrown together on the undercard. I don't remember

<v Speaker 1>there being some great, real build up in the months

<v Speaker 1>leading up to it. So I looked into this. This

<v Speaker 1>was a real thing. I'm going to read you a

<v Speaker 1>quote from Triple H himself. This is what he said

<v Speaker 1>to WWE dot com feature they did on WrestleMania matches

<v Speaker 1>that never happened. A lot of ideas get bandied about.

<v Speaker 1>But we were going to do Me versus Tyson in

<v Speaker 1>a boxer versus wrestler match, or WrestleMania x seven with

<v Speaker 1>Mills Lane and Earl Hebner both in the ring. We

<v Speaker 1>were going to do six rounds before the finish. I

<v Speaker 1>don't remember if it was going to be full boxing

<v Speaker 1>rules or whether I was wearing gloves, but it ended

<v Speaker 1>up being a deal where the whole thing just would

<v Speaker 1>have been a ludicrous amount of money and it got

<v Speaker 1>pushed off. I wrestled Taker instead, and that ended up

<v Speaker 1>becoming one of my favorite matches, And honestly, of all

<v Speaker 1>the WrestleMania matches that they had, that one is still

<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think, like where I would rank it

<v Speaker 1>relative to the other two. I think at least number two.

<v Speaker 1>I would put their WrestleMania X seven match at least

<v Speaker 1>second out of the three. And I was gonna say

<v Speaker 1>maybe number one. I mean, look the end of an era.

<v Speaker 1>I mean I was there for that match. I was

<v Speaker 1>there for that near fall, one of the great near

<v Speaker 1>falls ever done in WWE, and yeah, there was there

<v Speaker 1>was some emotion there with them. I don't love that

<v Speaker 1>match the way that some other people love that match,

<v Speaker 1>but I would put that in number one. But I

<v Speaker 1>would have their X seven match in number two. And

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed their wrestlemaning a twenty seven match, but I

<v Speaker 1>just I really liked that match they had back in

<v Speaker 1>OH one, So I could see where, you know, he

<v Speaker 1>would think that was one of his favorite matches. I

<v Speaker 1>could believe that. Now for those of you who don't

<v Speaker 1>know when this is probably most of you. For those

<v Speaker 1>of you who don't know the name HERB. Cunzie, if

<v Speaker 1>you were on RSPW back in the day, then you

<v Speaker 1>were probably very familiar with him and his weekly Wrestling

<v Speaker 1>Tidbits posts. So every week you would have Wrestling Tidbits, which,

<v Speaker 1>as you would imagine, was wrestling news and wrestling tidbits

<v Speaker 1>from all different promotions, and it was like his own

<v Speaker 1>little newsletter that he would post on RSPW, and he

<v Speaker 1>was a frequent critic. I don't believe that he had

<v Speaker 1>any actual sources or direct connections in wrestling. He was

<v Speaker 1>probably reading The Observer and the Torch like everybody else

<v Speaker 1>on there was. So I think he stopped watching wrestling

<v Speaker 1>around the Attitude era and he became a math teacher.

<v Speaker 1>I think he might have been a math teacher the

<v Speaker 1>entire time, and that's just what he is. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>but this particular Wrestling Tidbits drop is from September fifth,

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety one, so we're taking it back ten years

<v Speaker 1>from what we were just talking about here. Said a

<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago. The WWF's second arcade game, wrestle Fest,

<v Speaker 1>debuted in the arcade close to the University. It features

<v Speaker 1>many of the top names in the WWF, including hul Cogan,

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Hennig, Ted Dbiassi, Ultimate Warrior, Lod Demolition, Big boss Man, Earthquake,

<v Speaker 1>Sergeant Slaughter, etc. So the graphics on this game are

<v Speaker 1>far super to the original WWF Superstars Arcade game and

<v Speaker 1>WrestleFest I believe was the sequel to Superstars for those

<v Speaker 1>who don't know, but anyway, so, the player can either

<v Speaker 1>participate in a Royal Rumble or take part in a

<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night's main event tag match. I gave both options

<v Speaker 1>a whirl. The rumble starts off with your selected wrestler,

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Hennigan my case, and about five other wrestlers in

<v Speaker 1>the ring. I meandered right over to Hulk Hogan and

<v Speaker 1>gave him several standing dropkicks. I followed this up with

<v Speaker 1>a snapmare and a knee drop. Meanwhile, Jake Roberts was

<v Speaker 1>selected as the next Rumble participant, and a little graphics

<v Speaker 1>window popped up with Jake mumbling and then a shot

<v Speaker 1>of the aisle as he strolled to the ring. And

<v Speaker 1>by now I was getting pummeled by the Ultimate Warrior,

<v Speaker 1>who used more moves on me in a minute than

<v Speaker 1>he ever has in his WWF career. My strength bar

<v Speaker 1>was getting smaller and smaller, and I was moving a

<v Speaker 1>lot slower. Somehow, though, I got the upper hand on

<v Speaker 1>Hogan again while trying to avoid everybody in the ring

<v Speaker 1>a lah Rick Martel this year's Rumble, and by madly

<v Speaker 1>wiggling the joystick and pressing buttons, put the perfect plex

<v Speaker 1>on him, getting the three count. Unfortunately, Hawks stormed the

<v Speaker 1>ring and zeroed in on me, giving me some standing

<v Speaker 1>drop kicks and putting me in a bear hug and

<v Speaker 1>then pinning me. This was kind of neat, although very

<v Speaker 1>hard to follow as the ring gets fuller. I went

<v Speaker 1>on to the tag team challenge picked the formidable team

<v Speaker 1>of Kurt Headig. Well he's a big Kurt heading fan.

<v Speaker 1>I can't say I blame him. I picked the Formidable

<v Speaker 1>team of Kurt Headig and Ted Di Biassi. The first

<v Speaker 1>challenge was hul Cogan and the Ultimate Warrior, and I

<v Speaker 1>wondered who was the booker and how I had gotten

<v Speaker 1>drawn for this matchup. I pummeled the stuffing out of

<v Speaker 1>the Warrior and somehow managed to slap the million dollar

<v Speaker 1>Dream on him. Before Hogan had even entered the ring

<v Speaker 1>and I got the submission. The kids watching me were

<v Speaker 1>pretty awestruck by how quickly I did this, and I

<v Speaker 1>really had no idea what I had done. Welcome to

<v Speaker 1>o arcade games back then. That's how I used to

<v Speaker 1>be a button masher and just hope for the best.

<v Speaker 1>That's how I played wrestle Fest. That's how I played

<v Speaker 1>Mortal Kombat, Turtles and Time or whatever the fuck I

<v Speaker 1>was playing, whatever Turtles game it was I was playing

<v Speaker 1>at the arcade. Yeah, I mean, you just hit those

<v Speaker 1>buttons and hope for the best. He said. I made

<v Speaker 1>it through a fourth match and got to the title match,

<v Speaker 1>which had me as the challenger to the Legion of Doom,

<v Speaker 1>and they beat the living daylights out of me. It

<v Speaker 1>was over before it even began. All in all, not

<v Speaker 1>a bad little arcade game. Four players can play at

<v Speaker 1>once in either game mode. I just liked the experience

<v Speaker 1>of beating Hogan. I just hope Rick Flair stays around

<v Speaker 1>the WWF long enough and gets a big enough push

<v Speaker 1>to warrant him being included in a future arcade game.

<v Speaker 1>Nothing would be more worth a quarter than being the

<v Speaker 1>nature Boy and pummeling Hogan, and I do believe Flair

<v Speaker 1>wasn't a game, right he was in wasn't that Royal

<v Speaker 1>Rumble game released around then, like ninety two. I'm almost

<v Speaker 1>positive Flair was in that game. He might have even

<v Speaker 1>been in the first Raw game that came out, but

<v Speaker 1>almost for sure. I think he was in the Rumble game. Look,

<v Speaker 1>wrestle Fest is my all time favorite wrestling game. I

<v Speaker 1>have a lot of nostalgia when it comes to wrestle Fest.

<v Speaker 1>It's the first game that I'd played at the arcade.

<v Speaker 1>I never played Superstars. I guess it was already gone

<v Speaker 1>and wressell Fest was the new thing, and so you know,

<v Speaker 1>outside of playing the first like WrestleMania game and stuff

<v Speaker 1>on Nintendo at home, like at the arcade, it was

<v Speaker 1>all about wrestle Fest and I just fucking loved it.

<v Speaker 1>And at the time, oh my god, look at the

<v Speaker 1>graphics and me and Jean's interviewing this guy was like

<v Speaker 1>such a big deal. So I have a lot of

<v Speaker 1>fun memories about playing that game. It was, as I

<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier, it was a sequel to WWF Superstars, and

<v Speaker 1>both games, by the way, both of those arcade games

<v Speaker 1>were created by a company called Technos Japan, which also

<v Speaker 1>created the Double Dragons series. Now wrestle Fest. You see

<v Speaker 1>on your here, that's an arcade cabinet. It's got there's

<v Speaker 1>the WWE retro logo here. That is new because Russell

<v Speaker 1>Fest was just re released last year as a home

<v Speaker 1>arcade cabinet. But apparently Sergeants Slaughter and the Legion of

<v Speaker 1>Doom were left out of the game, and a lot

<v Speaker 1>of people were very upset about that. I believe it

<v Speaker 1>has to do with licensing issues. I think Slaughter and

<v Speaker 1>Lod or their families. I don't think there was a

<v Speaker 1>Legends deal for them, and so that's why they weren't included.

<v Speaker 1>If that's the case, I mean, there's nothing they could do.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, you either legally have the rights to include

<v Speaker 1>them in the game or you don't. But that sucks,

<v Speaker 1>you know that they actually took characters out of the game.

<v Speaker 1>But still, I mean, to be able to own that

<v Speaker 1>and have that at home if you can afford it

<v Speaker 1>and if you have space for it. And I don't

<v Speaker 1>know exactly how much this is going for. I want

<v Speaker 1>to say it's in the range of five or six

<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks. But again, don't quote me on that this

<v Speaker 1>is not from Arcade one up, because I know they've

<v Speaker 1>released home arcades. I've got a Mortal Kombat one. This

<v Speaker 1>is a different company. But just the fact that you

<v Speaker 1>could actually own a version of this at home is

<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. Again, sucks that you don't get all the characters,

<v Speaker 1>but still, I mean, if you would have told me

<v Speaker 1>this when I was younger, I could actually own this

<v Speaker 1>and have this at home, like I would be over

<v Speaker 1>the moon. So if you want to own wrestle Fest,

<v Speaker 1>just FYI, it is available now now. I mentioned John

<v Speaker 1>Cena earlier and I was going to dig up some

<v Speaker 1>old John Cena posts. John Cena just retired last month,

<v Speaker 1>so I went searching and I found this one here.

<v Speaker 1>This was from the actually the day of his debut

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown June twenty seventh, two thousand and two. From

<v Speaker 1>Ted B five twelve is a post titled great John

<v Speaker 1>Cena gimmick idea and then he's got some money signs here.

<v Speaker 1>Apparently he thinks this is a really great idea, says man,

<v Speaker 1>this kid has potential, good match, but he needs a

<v Speaker 1>gimmick fast because WWE fans will confuse him with Randy

<v Speaker 1>Orton and Batista. I think he should have the fake

<v Speaker 1>heat gimmick. That means for everything, he says, they turn

<v Speaker 1>up the fake crowd noise really high, like people are

<v Speaker 1>cheering the hell out of everything. He says, for example,

<v Speaker 1>he could come to the ring and read the phone book.

<v Speaker 1>Adderson Jay huge cheer while crowd is visibly motionless. Adderson

<v Speaker 1>James enormous pop. And then you know, I've been in

<v Speaker 1>Current City for a couple of days now, and I

<v Speaker 1>have to say, you people suck huge pop. So then

<v Speaker 1>Curious with Taylor responds on the whole fake heat gimmick.

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton's gimmick, says Hi, but you probably can't hear

<v Speaker 1>it over the fake crowd noise. So then, about a

<v Speaker 1>month later, on July twenty first, two thousand and two,

<v Speaker 1>we have a post from OTD five and this one

<v Speaker 1>is I mean, I'm just gonna let it speak for

<v Speaker 1>itself here. Uh fuck John Cena, that's the title of

<v Speaker 1>the post. Very very quick here says he sucks. Why

<v Speaker 1>are they pushing him? Newby says he's tall with a

<v Speaker 1>nice physique. Poot Root beers this person's name. Poot root

<v Speaker 1>Beer says because sena equals Spanish for supper, so steph

<v Speaker 1>has taken a liking to him. I gotta stop here.

<v Speaker 1>Is that true? Is that does sena mean dinner in Spanish?

<v Speaker 1>How did I not know this? I just I didn't

<v Speaker 1>realize that I didn't. I didn't realize that. I know

<v Speaker 1>cosina is kitchen, right, sena equals supper, So that that

<v Speaker 1>just blew my mind. I mean, is he implying that

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie is fat? Is that what he's getting at here

<v Speaker 1>with his posts? Because I think around this time Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>was I mean, this was like peaque Stephanie here on TV.

<v Speaker 1>So I'm like reading this guy, What the hell is

<v Speaker 1>this guy watching? If that's what he's inferring here, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. But then hipman LV says, I don't know

<v Speaker 1>why he was so highly heralded. He is a bore

<v Speaker 1>with no personality. Maybe he will develop one, Yeah, maybe

<v Speaker 1>he will. I hope that John Cena guy can develop

<v Speaker 1>a personality. I think his personality was the least of

<v Speaker 1>his problems back then. Triple W says, I guess the

<v Speaker 1>fact that he was the OVW champion for a while

<v Speaker 1>means nothing in your book, Someone pays their dues in

<v Speaker 1>the minor feds, and people then complain when they get

<v Speaker 1>a decent push in the big time. Sheesh, yeah, sheesh,

<v Speaker 1>I agree, and then ain it's his name. Ei n

<v Speaker 1>says sadly, a win over Jericho these days is not

<v Speaker 1>a big push. I think Vince has all the wrestlers

<v Speaker 1>in the back taking numbers. A win over Jericho is

<v Speaker 1>not a big push. This was two thousand and two,

<v Speaker 1>mind you. I actually would agree with that statement more

<v Speaker 1>recently in aw that will win over Jericho really doesn't

<v Speaker 1>mean much these days. But to hear that back in

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two, I don't I don't know. That's

<v Speaker 1>that's kind of wild to me. But let's gep ahead

<v Speaker 1>here to April sixteenth, two thousand and four, and this

<v Speaker 1>is a post from funky M titled John Cena sucks

<v Speaker 1>as a face. Actually it's it's like a poem, so

<v Speaker 1>let's let's read let's read this here. Funky M told

<v Speaker 1>you John Cena would suck as a face. He's so

<v Speaker 1>lame now it's a disgrace. Back as a heel, he

<v Speaker 1>was pretty cool. Now he kisses our ass like a fool.

<v Speaker 1>Wwe you should just pull out the plug because we

<v Speaker 1>ain't marking for this. Wanna be thug? Turn Sena heel?

<v Speaker 1>Do it now? Today as a face he becomes rico

<v Speaker 1>type gay. It's quite the poet, this funky m. I

<v Speaker 1>love how even in two thousand and four, before he

<v Speaker 1>even won his first world title, you already had people

<v Speaker 1>crapping on scene as a babyface hey, just begging WW

<v Speaker 1>to turn him heel. This was two thousand and four.

<v Speaker 1>Sean Walsh responds, that was better than any sena rap

<v Speaker 1>quote unquote I've heard in months. Adam Cohen with a

<v Speaker 1>K responds with some lyrics of his own. No disrespect

<v Speaker 1>to the m who's funky, but the A to the

<v Speaker 1>Kizzo has to disagree. Sina still rules his homegirls and homeboys.

<v Speaker 1>Everywhere he goes, the crowd makes some noise. If we

<v Speaker 1>didn't like him, his push would go south. Instead, He'll

<v Speaker 1>keep shoving these nuts in your mouth. Oh man, you

<v Speaker 1>hear what I'm saying. You know that it's true. And

<v Speaker 1>if you can't take that, well take this fu word life. Wow.

<v Speaker 1>And then there's Alan J. Benson, who I think hit

<v Speaker 1>the nail right on the head here. He said, seriously though,

<v Speaker 1>even though people cheer for him. He's like every badass

<v Speaker 1>heel character who has turned face. He's watered down ever

<v Speaker 1>so slightly, but just enough that he loses that special

<v Speaker 1>cool edge that made so many people mark out for

<v Speaker 1>him in the first place. The smart fans pick up

<v Speaker 1>on this first, of course, but over time more and

<v Speaker 1>more Marx realize it too. It happened to Stone Cold

<v Speaker 1>about three years ago, it happened to the Rock about

<v Speaker 1>two years ago, and it will happen to Sina too.

<v Speaker 1>Silver Dragon says, I don't think it's seen as face turned.

<v Speaker 1>I think Vincent K. McMahon and company told him to

<v Speaker 1>water down the wrap so the FCC or whoever it

<v Speaker 1>is would not come down on them. Ever, since a

<v Speaker 1>few preteens dropped a load overseeing jan It's ring covered

<v Speaker 1>booby for three quarters of a second, the FCC has

<v Speaker 1>been coming down on anybody who does anything even remotely

<v Speaker 1>close to offensive. Seena's face wraps were good at first,

<v Speaker 1>and then got g rated awfully quickly after the FCC

<v Speaker 1>started handing out three quarters of a million dollar fines

<v Speaker 1>to anybody noddedhering to standards that have been outdated since

<v Speaker 1>the nineteen seventies. VKM probably doesn't want to be the

<v Speaker 1>recipient of one of those fines because of how the

<v Speaker 1>audience decided to fill in the last word on one

<v Speaker 1>of his raps. The decision may have even come from

<v Speaker 1>Viacom for all we know. I really don't think it's him,

<v Speaker 1>though he's good with the mic. He's referring to the

<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl halftime incident with Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, which, God,

<v Speaker 1>how many years ago is that? Over twenty? I know

<v Speaker 1>that Chris Wagoner. I'll say this, Sina does the freestyle

<v Speaker 1>rap thing. Well, I guess I hate raps, so I

<v Speaker 1>can't really tell. However, he has no business in a

<v Speaker 1>wrestling and I'll tell you why. Number One, he needs

<v Speaker 1>to be carried. John Cena has a smaller move set

<v Speaker 1>than Hogan or The Rock. Interestingly, many parallels can be

<v Speaker 1>drawn between the three. Both Hogan and Rock were basically

<v Speaker 1>total zeros in a wrestling capacity, but had a shitload

<v Speaker 1>of charisma. Sena falls into this category. But at least

<v Speaker 1>Hogan and Rock could work with almost anyone and put

<v Speaker 1>on a mildly entertaining fight. Sena needs a really good

<v Speaker 1>worker to put him over Number two, he has no

<v Speaker 1>fundamentals for someone who came from OVW. Sena has an

<v Speaker 1>appalling lack of mattwork basics. Somebody get Dean Malenko to

<v Speaker 1>teach this ape a few more holds. Without good mattwork,

<v Speaker 1>his matches will quickly become predictable. Number three, his gimmick

<v Speaker 1>is destined to bite him in the ass one day.

<v Speaker 1>Right now, Rap and Hip Hopp are at the top

<v Speaker 1>of the charts. However, one can only wonder how much

<v Speaker 1>longer it will last. Raven's gimmick failed him when the

<v Speaker 1>grunge movement breathed its last breath, and Sena will be

<v Speaker 1>no exception. He's just not a talented enough wrestler to

<v Speaker 1>recover from this. He'll probably join Too Cool with Scotty

<v Speaker 1>Rakishi and the returning Grandmasters Sexa. Sena should have been

<v Speaker 1>kept off TV until he boned up on his ring work.

<v Speaker 1>Mike skills are important, but you need to work as

<v Speaker 1>well as talk well. I mean, look, it was a

<v Speaker 1>well thought out response, and that was the big knock

<v Speaker 1>on John Cena back then was his matches were not

<v Speaker 1>great and he had to be carried by people who

<v Speaker 1>were better than him and more experience than him. And

<v Speaker 1>as the years went on, he started having really good matches,

<v Speaker 1>and he started having even some great matches. And I

<v Speaker 1>had to start defending him on the podcast from people

<v Speaker 1>who were sending in questions and comments just like that,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, well, look, Sena is not the best

<v Speaker 1>wrestler on the roster, but you can't say he doesn't

<v Speaker 1>know how to work. Who were you to say that

<v Speaker 1>He's going out there and having kick ass matches with

<v Speaker 1>CM Punkin, He's having great matches with this guy and

<v Speaker 1>that guy in Edge, And I mean, there's a whole

<v Speaker 1>laundry list of great matches that he had in the

<v Speaker 1>late two thousands, early twenty tens, not to say anything

<v Speaker 1>of course of the matches that came later against people

<v Speaker 1>like AJ Styles. So this was the big knock on

<v Speaker 1>Sena at that time. You know, looking at it through

<v Speaker 1>that lens in two thousand and two or actually I

<v Speaker 1>guess this is two thousand and four, you can understand it.

<v Speaker 1>You know, his work was very basic, it was very predictable.

<v Speaker 1>But then we have this post titled John Cena. That's it,

<v Speaker 1>just his name, John Cena on May twenty eighth, two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and four by a poster named I Fucked Lindsey Lohan.

<v Speaker 1>That's his name, that's his name. WWE continues to make

<v Speaker 1>all the wrong moves with John Cena's character. He's supposed

<v Speaker 1>to be the bad boy rapper yet again, or yet

<v Speaker 1>he's given nice guy credit for the military members receiving

<v Speaker 1>free access to the Great American Bash pay per view.

<v Speaker 1>He's supposed to be the rebel, yet there he was

<v Speaker 1>at the end of the show, riding on the shoulders

<v Speaker 1>of the other babyface wrestlers. The formula that would get

<v Speaker 1>Sena over as a main evenor isn't that difficult to

<v Speaker 1>figure out since it's very similar to the one Steve

<v Speaker 1>Austin used. Give the guy a quality authority figure to

<v Speaker 1>rebel agains, portray him as a loner, and stop casting

<v Speaker 1>him as the biggest babyface kiss ass since Dallas Page

<v Speaker 1>Man DDP. Catching strays from I Fucked Lindsay Lohan Danger

<v Speaker 1>thirty two to ten Lives says WWE does this with

<v Speaker 1>every good heel turned face. The thing is, though, Sena

<v Speaker 1>is very popular, and no matter how they push him

<v Speaker 1>as a face, as long as he stays popular, they

<v Speaker 1>will continue to push him like this. I just hope

<v Speaker 1>Sena returns heel whenever he gets his world title push

<v Speaker 1>a La Rock in nineteen ninety eight. Try j Comm says, No,

<v Speaker 1>Sena is fine as he is. He cuts good promos

<v Speaker 1>and does a fine job with his gimmick. All he

<v Speaker 1>needs is a bigger push to get him out of

<v Speaker 1>that second tier US title group and into the first tier.

<v Speaker 1>The big mistake with him is they made him a

<v Speaker 1>face when they were desperate for heels, which is a

<v Speaker 1>fair point. Pete Panaro couldn't believe what he was seeing

<v Speaker 1>on July first, two thousand and four, in a post

<v Speaker 1>titled Wow, look at Scena being ruined before our very eyes,

<v Speaker 1>says playing to the fans a little too much. Can't

<v Speaker 1>wait till he starts giving his visor to a kid

<v Speaker 1>at the front row before every match. Hey, it work

<v Speaker 1>for Brett Hart. Then we had John Bradshaw Layfield. I

<v Speaker 1>could just picture jbl Man sitting there, putting his reading

<v Speaker 1>glasses on his cheaters and typing out a message to RSPW.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess this wasn't him, but Jad Jad. John

<v Speaker 1>Bradshaw Layfield posted maybe his name is Jad Sina ceased

<v Speaker 1>being entertaining when he turned face. His raps been really

<v Speaker 1>awful and he looks really bad in the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>needs a lot more seasoning. Turn heel and stay heel

<v Speaker 1>for the rest of his career. He was once one

<v Speaker 1>of the most entertaining characters on SmackDown. So sad actually,

<v Speaker 1>that could have been jbl writing in just to bash

<v Speaker 1>John Cena taking the feud to the internet, and Araksen says,

<v Speaker 1>look what happens when ben Wa and Angle aren't around

<v Speaker 1>to wrestle Sena to make him look like a million

<v Speaker 1>bucks seen as true colors shine through, he sucks. It's

<v Speaker 1>very clear to me that RSPW was not having any

<v Speaker 1>of this babyface Scena stuff in two thousand and four.

<v Speaker 1>If only they knew what was coming next, then we

<v Speaker 1>had Harold with Kumar these fucking names posted on January thirteenth,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and five about Sena. His pandering to the

<v Speaker 1>fans is sickening. And what's worse is that the crowds

<v Speaker 1>absolutely love this guy, even though he totally sucks. Now.

<v Speaker 1>The chain gang not cool, pumping up his sneakers not cool.

<v Speaker 1>The you can't see me thing worked better when he

<v Speaker 1>just said it and didn't actually do the stupid hand

<v Speaker 1>motion thing. Not cool, the five knuckle shuffle lame, and

<v Speaker 1>the fu is probably the worst finisher in wrestling. I

<v Speaker 1>can't find anything positive about John Cena anymore. Not cool

<v Speaker 1>at all. Man, he should just jump off a bridge

<v Speaker 1>at this point. I mean, he's apparely. He has no

<v Speaker 1>redeeming qualities whatsoever. I love how he In two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and five, he was saying that John Cena has to

<v Speaker 1>ditch the whole hand gesture here. I don't think that's

<v Speaker 1>gonna work. I don't think that's gonna work. And finally

<v Speaker 1>Google Beta user had enough and lashed out at his

<v Speaker 1>fellow RSPW dwellers the day of WrestleMania twenty one. This

<v Speaker 1>was April third, two thousand and five, in a post

<v Speaker 1>titled shut up about John Cena. You are the same

<v Speaker 1>guys bitching about JBL. How can you reconcile being pissed

<v Speaker 1>Sina wins and that JBL is the champion chill Sina

<v Speaker 1>will get in a feud, they'll shuffle the rosters around,

<v Speaker 1>and he'll get into a kick ass feud with Kurt Angle.

<v Speaker 1>It's like you guys, wish the belt had been put

<v Speaker 1>on the Undertaker. Don't forget Eddie would have gotten a

<v Speaker 1>longer rain if he himself wouldn't have admitted the pressure

<v Speaker 1>was getting to him. You have to work with what

<v Speaker 1>you have. Nemesis says, it's that some people won't like

<v Speaker 1>it no matter the outcome you got. Some people who

<v Speaker 1>won't like anything about the program will always bash it

<v Speaker 1>no matter what, and it shows their lack of a

<v Speaker 1>life and that they will waste several hours of their

<v Speaker 1>lives watching something they already made up their mind about

<v Speaker 1>that they won't like no matter what. Sound familiar. This

<v Speaker 1>could have been ripped right off x or any YouTube

<v Speaker 1>comments section today. John Fenner says, well, let me just

<v Speaker 1>state this. I am glad that Sena is champion, much

<v Speaker 1>better than JBL. And Jeff h says the champion should

<v Speaker 1>know how to wrestle a main event match and make

<v Speaker 1>his opponents look good. JBL is better than Seena tonight,

<v Speaker 1>or I guess was better than Seena tonight. Again. This

<v Speaker 1>was the night of WrestleMania twenty one. Sena was lost

<v Speaker 1>in some part of the match and the win meant nothing.

<v Speaker 1>The crowd could hardly give a shit. It seemed that

<v Speaker 1>wasn't a great match like their match they had a

<v Speaker 1>couple months later. I guess it was Judgment Day. Was

<v Speaker 1>it the I Quit match? That was a much better match?

<v Speaker 1>I never liked their WrestleMania match. Now, five months into

<v Speaker 1>his title reign, these folks don't seem to be getting

<v Speaker 1>any happier. As Rayden posts on September twelfth, two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and five, John Cena is a fucking boring WWE champion

<v Speaker 1>and his face turn or face run as champion is

<v Speaker 1>just one of the ingredients that makes raw shit. I

<v Speaker 1>blame the writers for making him a pussy. He does

<v Speaker 1>have charisma, but I doubt that he can use it

<v Speaker 1>due to the script. Oh, the script will not allow

<v Speaker 1>him to show off his natural charisma super crazy. On

<v Speaker 1>December twelfth, two thousand and five, John Cena finally acknowledges

<v Speaker 1>the booze says, you have to respect that. Mister Matola says,

<v Speaker 1>what's to respect? The guy admits being booed because he sucks,

<v Speaker 1>but then he cuts a babyface googo gaga. I love America,

<v Speaker 1>Please don't boom me. I'm trying really hard here and

<v Speaker 1>I really love America, so don't boom me. Promo Fuck Scena,

<v Speaker 1>the phony poser super Crazy responds, he actually was saying

<v Speaker 1>that the fans have a right to boo him. Logical anomalies.

<v Speaker 1>Ego says sorry, he mentions it once, but in the

<v Speaker 1>middle to Kurt Angle having to become almost anti American

<v Speaker 1>and in a way try to get him even more

<v Speaker 1>over as a babyface, he cuts the pro American promo

<v Speaker 1>at the expensive Angle. Nah, I don't respect that, Sean

<v Speaker 1>Ecky says, I honestly don't think that you would compliment

<v Speaker 1>John Cena, no matter what he did. You wouldn't be

<v Speaker 1>a John Cena fan if his name was Kurt Angle.

<v Speaker 1>Smart Marx, I don't get him. I actually like that

<v Speaker 1>you would not cheer for John Cena if his name

<v Speaker 1>was Kurt Angle. And we'll end with this from January thirteenth,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six from the newly Improved mister Matola.

<v Speaker 1>It's his name now, the new and improved, the newly

<v Speaker 1>improved what's it? Newly improved mister Matola in a post

<v Speaker 1>titled you sena fans really annoy me again? This is

<v Speaker 1>a January thirteenth, two thousand and six, says Jesus fucks Sina, Marx,

<v Speaker 1>wake up and smell the suck. The backlash against John

<v Speaker 1>Sena is not because of WWE Creative, They have a

<v Speaker 1>very tiny hand in it, But the blame lies on

<v Speaker 1>John Cena. He's bland as hell on the mic and

<v Speaker 1>has had plenty of time to improve in the ring

<v Speaker 1>and not look like a complete inept horses ass. For

<v Speaker 1>God's sake, jbl was a lazy fuck, but when he

<v Speaker 1>won the belt, he improved by leaps and bounds and

<v Speaker 1>his mic work was superb. Sina botches even the simplest

<v Speaker 1>of things, and he's an embarrassment. Look at Batista. He

<v Speaker 1>feuded with Eddie and carried his end of the storyline.

<v Speaker 1>Did Eddie overshadow him? No, Dave was right there, being

<v Speaker 1>just as entertaining as Eddie. Sina has gone toe to

<v Speaker 1>toe with the likes of Christian Jericho and Kurt Angle

<v Speaker 1>and still sucks. When you don't learn anything or improve

<v Speaker 1>as a wrestler and sparring back and forth on the

<v Speaker 1>stick with Chris Freakin Jericho, it's time to find a

<v Speaker 1>new profession. I got to ask you what do you

<v Speaker 1>like about Sina? Because I just don't get it. I

<v Speaker 1>just don't, and then we had Presto. Presto was going

<v Speaker 1>off here in his response for the last time, Mike

<v Speaker 1>fuck off. Telling people their opinion is raw shit. He's

<v Speaker 1>using his shoot name. Now he's calling a Mike. Now

<v Speaker 1>it's getting serious. He says, there's no such thing as

<v Speaker 1>a wrong opinion, and we don't have to explain ourselves either.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think he sucks. He's not as good as

<v Speaker 1>Angle in the Ring, granted, but apparently he impressed enough

<v Speaker 1>people to be given the strap and hold on to it.

<v Speaker 1>For every single person that boos Sena at an arena,

<v Speaker 1>there's one who cheers or screams their ass off. Who

<v Speaker 1>the fuck cares if it's a child or a woman,

<v Speaker 1>it's an ass in the sea seen a Merchandise appears

<v Speaker 1>to be second only behind Eddie in sales. I enjoy

<v Speaker 1>his mic work and think he's quite funny at times,

<v Speaker 1>but I will admit he has his moments of what

<v Speaker 1>the hell is he talking about? I actually watched the

<v Speaker 1>Five Questions with the chant bit on WWE dot com

<v Speaker 1>and I laugh on occasion, But how the hell do

<v Speaker 1>you know? He's a pose? His rap gimmick came from

<v Speaker 1>the fact that someone heard him improvising raps in the

<v Speaker 1>locker room and apparently thought he was good enough to

<v Speaker 1>take it to the air well. Actually it was Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>on the bus, but that's for another time. Plus I

<v Speaker 1>bet he could kick your ass now. In conclusion, for

<v Speaker 1>the last time, fuck the fuck off about Sena. We

<v Speaker 1>get it, you don't like him. You've made your point. Man.

<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of hostility towards John Cena even

<v Speaker 1>earlier that I remember, but it was coming from a

<v Speaker 1>small but vocal section of the Internet called RSPW, which

<v Speaker 1>just goes to show you wrestling fans have always been

<v Speaker 1>the way they are, and you know what, I hope

<v Speaker 1>they never change, if for no other reason because years

<v Speaker 1>from now it will give me more content from my channel,

<v Speaker 1>So I love it. Look, if you want to see

<v Speaker 1>more of these, do me a favor comment below, of course,

<v Speaker 1>but hit the like button here on this video and

<v Speaker 1>become a channel member for early access to future videos

<v Speaker 1>just like this one. And that's it. That's what I

<v Speaker 1>got for you. We're gonna keep looking for new posts.

<v Speaker 1>I still have plenty of posts I haven't used yet,

<v Speaker 1>so there is there is more material for at least

<v Speaker 1>one more episode, but again, hopefully we'll do more of these.

<v Speaker 1>for you. RSPW episode thirty eight in the books, Solom
