Ways to beat Cena:
1.- Cena fails a steroid test
2.- Kryptonite
3.- become the next “Hulk Hogan”
4.- Silver bullets
5.- … I don’t know… Marrying the boss’ daughter doesn’t work…

Date: Aug 15, 2010 at 4:07 PMwwe really screwed up on this one… nexus just lost all credibility as a major stable in the wwe.. you dont give a guy a ddt on the concrete floor and all the sudden he gets up and aeliminates two of the brighter superstars in nexus… also wheres the person who was suppose to turn on wwe and lead nexus.. triple h didnt return tonight.. leads me to believe that he will be the one to turn heel.. this cena superman act is really not doing anything for storyline progression

Mr. Spadez
Date: Aug 15, 2010 at 4:12 PMI watched a stream of this and I’m not going to bash the holy hell out of it (now if I paid $50 for this, I maybe would be a little upset)… but for the most part, the main matches that should have been good were… Rey/Kane was surprisingly entertaining, minus the end… Raw/Nexus shined mainly on the return of Daniel Bryan, minus the Cena conquering the odds angle AGAIN…
What I will focus on is one point… Daniel Bryan’s return… now I know a lot of us who post on here are either WWE marks or TNA marks… it doesn’t matter what side you take in this stance, just relish in this… for the first time in I think a long time, the WWE actually did something the fans wanted… they brought back the true superstar we would all naturally cheer/root for… and he’s not 6’6 340 pounds… he’s barely 5’5, but w/o a doubt, is the best man to do it…
they are finally listening to the fans, albeit a small victory, but a victory nonetheless for us… in a few months, Kaval is going to be on Smackdown, and if they ever give Bourne a push, maybe the scope of what is considered a “big” star in WWE will change… what you guys think?

Date: Aug 15, 2010 at 5:08 PMDaniel Bryan coming back was a huge plus but WWE really dropped the ball on not having Cena turn heel. I didn’t expect them to but I was hoping. He has a movie coming out and he’s a big money draw as a face so I just didn’t see it actually happening.

Date: Aug 15, 2010 at 5:18 PMWell, I’m quite surprised from the negative reactions
because I just got back from Staples Center and I enjoyed
the event overall, mostly because of Daniel Bryan.
It was a great surprise and he was by far the most
impressive performer of the night.
The crowd was so into the tag team match and most of people
were standing during the whole match, and got crazy
when Danielson made two guys tap out. So did I.
Watching Bret in some good action was a surprising treat
as well.
But Cena becoming superhuman and winning the match with
no heel turns or any other surprises really ruined the
mood at least for me.
Kane and Rey match was another great match. It wasn’t
that surprising to me though. We knew Kane can work
main events at top level against anybody and he has proven
it again.
Kane’s title push is incomparable to JBL’s past title push.
Kane has been a proven main eventer and he’s done it again.
I just can’t wait to see Bryan on Raw every week now.
Just seeing Daniel Bryan back with some authority made
my money worth.

Date: Aug 15, 2010 at 5:22 PMhonestly, awesome job wwe
Daniel Bryan is back!!! I don’t think anybody saw this coming. Yea SuperCena was back in full motion again, but Bret Hart actually looked decent tonight. He was in much better ring shape tonight than where he was at Wrestlemania.
Great segment with the Miz where he mocks LeBron James’s “decision.” I laughed really hard on that segment.
Rey vs. Kane was predictable with a somewhat weak ending. Why have Taker come back just to take a beatdown. That honestly made no sense.
Randy Orton vs. Sheamus was a great performance by both individuals with great back and forth action. It looks like we might finally get something new with Sheamus since Randy and SuperCena will not be getting title matches anytime soon.
Also, I liked the women’s championship match with Melina getting her title back.
All in all, I give Summerslam a 4 out of 5. A very strong showing!

btw you gotta be out of your mind if you think hardcore justice was better than this.

Date: Aug 15, 2010 at 5:46 PMI wanted it to happen but cena turning heel makes no sense. It would be Too big a loss losing his merchandise money (even though it destroys the creditbility of the 2nd biggest ppv of the year). Still someone should have turned and helped nexus win tonight. The nexus storyline is ruined, no big heel turn to change a stale product, and F$$$$$$ shemaus is still champ. But we get to cena take pointless concrete DDT spots and hulk up!!!!!!!!!!!! (sarcastic yeah)… Wwe strikes out yet again…

Intercontinental match ended in a DQ
Womens match – Melina wins the title but gets beaten down
Big Show vs SES – We all knew Show was dominate
WWE Title – BS it ended in a DQ. only high spot was the RKO on the announcer table
World Championship – We all knew Kane was going to win and Taker was going to come back but Taker took a beating
Raw vs Nexus – SUPER CENA comes back again to prevail after taking 2 DDTs off the concrete..
I dont give a fuck what anybody think but the product the WWE is presenting today is pure GARBAGE. I have watched wretling since 88 and these last few years I have been tuned out and turned into a full pledge UFC fan. I can’t stand this shit anymore.

Only highlights for me was Undertaker comming back which makes this whole Mysterio,Taker,Kane thing more interesting and the fact that it wa snice hearing Jericho getting cheers again since hopefully it’ll lead to a face turn at some point. And the Cena love is gotten WAYYYYYYYYYY overboard. Please.. PLEASE for god sakes WWE stop slurping no scratch that, CHUGGING the John Cena kool-aide >_<!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me!
the Intercontinental match was good so what if it ended in DQ it got ended in DQ by the Nexus which was a in a good way to make them seem dominate before their match and its what their about.
the Womens title match was good as well so what if she was beaten down after? did you expect her to beat 2 females… she started the attack they ended it the Laycools are brats thars what they do…
Big Show vs SES he wasnt dominate the whole match he was getting a ass beaten the match was good as well seeing Big Show take on 3 people SES members was entertaining they lost though because Punk bailed duh…
the WWE Title match so what if it ended in a DQ doesnt mean the match wasnt good before it did? your just lame Sheamus is a Heel this is what heels do they find a way out of matches they think they cant win they’ve been doing this for years especially in the ATTITUDE ERA!
The World Championship match of Rey vs Kane was a great sometimes i know how a movie is going to end but doesnt stop me from watching it to see how it ended and how good it was? they started the Kane and Taker rivalry in a good way and what do you mean taker “was” going to come back he did moron yeah he got a beaten because he came back from a vegetative state you can clearly see he was hurting still how would that look on Kane if he got beating me Taker they’ll making Kane the dominate brother now from all this years if Taker was to beat down Kane you would still complain whats the difference between Melina wining the Championship and geting beat down with Kane wining the Championship and not getting beat down? thats how i now your full of bull
Raw Vs Nexus yes Cena won i admit its the only thing that was lame but besides that the match was really good and you fail to realize the biggest person in the company are usually the ones who wins the most matches and looks the hero are you going to tell me that Hulk Hogan wouldnt win unbelievable matches or Austin wouldn’t either or the Rock???? Cena wining match after match is nothing NEW TRUST ME you ppl just love to complain about it but it happened many times before with other wrestlers who were the face of the company at the time like Hulk, Austin & Rock who i just mentioned this thing with Cena is nothing new they’ve been doing it for years

Date: Aug 16, 2010 at 11:46 AMSo WWE hints at a Cena heel turn, only to have him miraculously recover from a ddt on the concrete floor and eliminate 2 nexus members thus further killing the credibility of one of the best if not the best heel stable we’ve seen in some time.

Real question is are YOU kidding US! Summer Slam this year was a TOTAL joke. Your arguments are about as lame as you probably are in person.
WWE championship got RUINED with it being ended with a DQ
World title match was totally obvious. Only good things about it was that Kane retained the world championship and that Taker made his return. Otherwise it was no better than the last time Rey and Kane have had matches.
Dolf and Kofi, that’s the only thing you got correct in your mindless rant but still, even it was screwed up cause of Nexus interference.
Women’s championship… boring and more obvious than Kane vs Rey.
Show vs SES was a total joke
Team Raw vs the Nexus was fairly well done but as usual, WWE like yourself more than likely, are too busy having your heads up Cena’s butt thinking he is god on earth. Storyline wise, Nexus should have won to continue their dominance even though RAW tried to get it right yesterday but still. Cena just had to save the day as always which is getting just totally pathetic with the Cena butt love the WWE has for him.

All true if this Cena madness is to ever end. But other possible ways are turning Cena into the LeBron of the WWE and making him turn even more egocentric than Edge or Jericho. Or, have Undertaker come to RAW and have every storyline between them with Taker pawning Cena in every match.

I remember when Kenzo Sazuki was sacrificed with Rene Dupree to feed the monster known as John Cena. This is why i watched WWE a long time ago. and no, i’m no TNA guy either cuz i stopped watching that too. both are suffering from the same sick disease known as “Same Old S***”
