TheEdgeOfReason Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Umaga, I give. The rest? Not really, especially not with Angle... the problem it's not their matches were bad.

And, I have to concede Cena had ONE good match with HBK. But that's about it. I take it you didn't see his matches with Edge then? He had 2 or 3 very good matches with him in '07 I think. Didn't his match with HBK win PWI match of the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampulator Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I've seen his matches against Edge. I don't think they were particularly good. Nor bad. On par with Edge's lesser performances. And I did say Cena had ONE good match with HBK. But if I recall correctly, this wasn't AFTER his terrible match with HBK. It was more like "we sorry we did this kind of match before, we are going to make it up" match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Black Phenom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Never thought he had any good matches with Angle. The only good match I recall Cena/Edge having was at Unforgiven and they're both decent at carrying over with weapons. Triple H.. most of the time, the crowd made the match worth if anything.

ampulator Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I don't necessarily think it was bad chemistry with Angle. Angle, always, but especially, at that time period, liked to go FULL ALL OUT in his matches. Most people couldn't keep up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't his match with HBK win PWI match of the year? Yeah. But HBK could get a match of the year performance out of any one of us or out of a statue if necessary. He's going for a consecutive 7 year run with the match of the year award. That's a unique achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The main event bored me to tears last night. I did like the post match angle, but the actual match was so blah that I couldn't keep my eyes open. This week's Raw wasn't as good as last week's. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't good either.

Dragonmack Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Wasn't impressed with how they buried both Mark Henry and the New Hart Foundation with their effort to keep the Nexus looking strong. They had Henry go down to one freaking running clothesline! And the Harts were competing for or are the Unified tag champions. I get that they want the Nexus to look strong, but it would have made more overall sense to either have a couple of them get eliminated so you aren't burying people you are supposedly pushing or keeping strong in addition to the job crew, or just have the Nexus opponents all be opening jobbers. The funny thing is , when this storyline is finally over, half those Nexus guys, especially the ones who don't look like linebackers, are gonna end up fading away or taking over those jobber roles.

Self Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 They're in one of the main events of Summerslam. You gotta make them look strong. In surprised WWE went as far as they did though. I'd have kept the clean sweep, but I'd have had FAR more cheating from the Nexus dudes. Show the ref having trouble keeping tabs on all 7 of them, well-oiled machine as they are. Plus I probably would have swapped out the Harts for Santino & Koslov. You can't push everybody. This time it's Nexus, which is a fine choice. Fresh meat.

Candyman Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah. But HBK could get a match of the year performance out of any one of us or out of a statue if necessary. He's going for a consecutive 7 year run with the match of the year award. That's a unique achievement. Heck, he could probably get a Match of the Year out of Vince McMahon. Wait, he actually did that. When you really think about it, it's kind of incredible. There's been 19 calender years since the Rockers broke up and HBK has been a singles competitor. He missed 3 of those and almost all of 2 others due to his back injury, and he missed a good portion of another year when he "lost his smile." Aside from this year (since MOTY hasn't been determined yet), that leaves 12 years where he wrestled the whole year - he won MOTY in 10 of them. And one of the years he didn't was his first year after the Rockers and he was still establishing himself. Basically, he's 10-for-11 in Match of the Year wins. The year he didn't win it? His first full year after his back injury, when he fought Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania. That would be MOTY in a LOT of years. (it lost to the Angle-Lesnar Iron Man match) They're in one of the main events of Summerslam. You gotta make them look strong. In surprised WWE went as far as they did though. I'd have kept the clean sweep, but I'd have had FAR more cheating from the Nexus dudes. Show the ref having trouble keeping tabs on all 7 of them, well-oiled machine as they are. Plus I probably would have swapped out the Harts for Santino & Koslov. You can't push everybody. This time it's Nexus, which is a fine choice. Fresh meat. I had no problem with the way that match went down...in fact, it's exactly what I was expecting and hoping for. That, combined with all the tension on Team Cenicho, really makes you think Nexus is going to win. That's the idea, anyway. I wouldn't have minded if there was more cheating and teamwork from Nexus, but I think the clean sweep was absolutely vital. And you had to have some legitimate names to make it impressive. I think it helps Nexus a lot more than it hurts Henry, Bourne, and the Harts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Henry go down to one freaking running clothesline! And the Harts were competing for or are the Unified tag champions. Wait, you were upset that Mark Henry got buried/lost? O_O Welcome to the minority, sir. I'd be perfectly happy if they handed Henry his walking papers, and we never had to see him again. Would have been pretty lame for build-up if WWE's C-Team was able to put up a good fight against the Nexus, and would pretty solidly kill any hype for a WWE A-Team vs. Nexus match at Summerslam. Mustache I don't regularly watch NXT, but I viewed last night. Can anyone explain to me what the hell this "Mustache" thing is about?
