They most likely want Jade vs Charlotte as that was the rumored Mania match before Charlotte got hurt
Jade v Bianca seems like a logical Summerslam program. If Jade ever learns to work a match. She looked super robotic her entire WM appearance. Even just walking to the ring was really robotic, like she had somebody in an ear piece giving her cues to take every step
I'm not sure they could get either. Punk would be selling off a lot of his moral credibility if he did that. Of course, some people think he doesn't have any, but that's not what he thinks. I don't know that they can get Cena either with his schedule. He was only able to do the last one because of the strike.
I was told in the chat of the previously mentioned Harloff's show that Cena mentioned later on McAfee's show that Peacemaker season 2 filming should be done by December/end of the year. So after that, provided he doesn't have another project, he could be available.
Not just Cena...I have zero interest seeing these one-off returns from old wrestlers. I'd rather a promising, young NXT guy get elevated with a great storyline like Ilja or Trick than Cena return, or Goldberg return, or Taker or whoever....again.
I definitely agree with that. Even the ones like Taker and Angle that I was a big fan of aren't guys I wanna see now for the most part. Same reason I'd like AEW to move Jericho to the broadcast booth full-time and wasn't excited that they signed Edge. I was a huge RVD fan back in the day but I don't really want them to bring him in for more matches either.
The way he was booked is what turned you away.
The booking was definitely the worst part but I certainly don't think Cena has ever been great. He's had some great matches but I'd only consider his in ring work to be solid. He has charisma but his delivery and corniness make it hard for me to listen to him. Obviously, that's just my opinion and maybe it would be different if he had been booked differently or wasn't the clean cut all American babyface.
All depends on Dwayne’s schedule and if he thinks he can go another two years I guess.
He's obviously one of the biggest names in wrestling history but he's nowhere near one of the all time greats in my books. He's a mediocre talent at best. Like @JackSlater said a year or two ago it's like some fans have Stockholm syndrome when it comes to Cena. They watch the guy so much that they've actually convinced themselves he's good.
I mean people consider guys like Hogan, Rock, Austin, etc some of the all time greats. What is different about them compared to Cena?
Well, it depends what you mean by all time great. All those guys are absolute legends but wrestling is a thing where the most talented guys aren't necessarily the biggest stars. I would call The Rock and Austin all-time greats partly because they're two of the best ever on the mic(a lot better than Cena) and they made wrestling more popular which Cena certainly did not do. Austin was also excellent in the ring prior to f***ing his knees up and even then he generally put on better matches than Cena has. Cena is better than Hogan in every way possible but Hogan made wrestling a lot more popular. Those two are legends but not all time great wrestlers to me.
I would strongly disagree that they are a lot better on the mic than Cena. The guy has always been able to talk and cut great promos. In ring ability obviously very mediocre but most legends are mediocre.
