It's like when Vince mentioned WWF when speaking about Taker!

Blampied aficionados here (only time I'll actually call myself one Its awful but brilliant)

I feel he does a good job of making all of his what-ifs fit into one universe.

Now we need a six hour epic of his whole multiverse, be more interesting than the last 15 years

@@pezfam I mean he did re book a mania

@@pezfam There are a few contradictions though.

Isn't peacemcfreedom just cap but way more triggerhappy?

@@Lynch2507 not really, Peacemaker doesn't care if he has to do the bad thing to stop bad people, so imagine John Cena fighting as a heal to beat heals.

​@@kingsombra4053 Heel* :P

​@@Lynch2507 Well, kind of. I'm not hugely familiar with the character, but from what little I've gathered, he has a mental illness of some kind that causes him to believe so firmly in his personal mission to protect peace, he'll kill anybody he deems to be disturbing it at the drop of a hat. It eventually drove him to become a very dangerous, unstable vigilante.

Cena totally should've played John Walker/US Agent in Falcon and Winter Soldier. There are a lot of parallels between this rebooking and Walker's arc from that show. Also, Bucky saying "lookin' strong, John" would have had a WHOLE new meaning attached to it if Cena played Walker.

😂

Hindsight is 20/20

@@vids2002 Actually hindsight 2021 this year. I’m sorry, I’ll leave.

When's the last time WWE had an angle that had you emotionally invested...that didn't include Daniel Bryan

@@BBoy4040 Everything the Fiend did up until his match against Orton at Mania. That match alienated me so much that I turned off the TV there and then and haven't watched a WWE match since.

@@vids2002 except why give WWE the benefit of the doubt?? They pissed away all my money I ever gave them into booking characters I didn't want to see for years on end, so to hell with The WWE.

Wah-boo-doo

And snapped both of his ankles

Agreed to both sentiments. How he wasn't legit injured from that is amazing. Also, why did he pitch forward? If I was doing that spot, I would lean back *slightly* to make sure the wheelchair takes the brunt of the impact instead of my legs. Granted it may tilt back all the way off of impact and I may crack my head on the ground, but I'd rather take my chances with that than break the fall with my legs and risk breaking something important.

Do we know whos idea that bump was

For all we know he mighta had knee pads under those jeans

@@trentonmyer1742 You realise breaking your head is worse than breaking your legs don't ya? Brain damage is fucked.

I remember the original one from the WhatCulture OGs: *NEW ERA, SAME OLD SH×T*

Also could have been a tagline for the RAW Women’s Division in 2021.

😂

If they shortened the show to 2 hours and gutted the writing team they sure could

@@JaimeD. KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Here’s how I would rebook that. Keep jobbing Ryder out and not listen to those chants because he SUCKS.

​@@kingoutback first person to understand the advantages of social media and how it helps you create a genuine connection to the fans but yeah sure let's just say he sucks for no damn reason and job him out while we lose incredible amounts of money.

@@kingoutback He absolutely does not and should've been given more to do in the wwe

Thank you, my friend. I can't believe people still think about this years later

@@Diamondmite My liege! *Bends the knee*

WWE are too blind to see an easy solution to a bad storyline. So many hit or miss situations in which most of those storylines are potential hits.

I was the 69th like. Nice.

I don't know. If this version of Kane went THAT far to get back in touch with his inner monster, it might be too much for even DBry and Dr. Shelby to fix

@@eriqlacks413 A lot can happen in 4 months

Honestly, _anything_ would have been better than what happened in real life. Embrace the Hate wasn't as abysmal as, say, Katie Vick, but it was still a monumental failure on every single level: it had no effect on Cena whatsoever, made Kane look impotent, damaged Eve Torres with pointless and really tasteless slut-shaming, and _absolutely ruined_ Zack Ryder. It was so bad it was as if the entire intention of the feud from the start was just to punish Zack for his hubris in daring to get himself over, and the whole incorporation of Cena into it was nothing more than a smokescreen to hide that.

I became speechless doing the same. Adam isn't playing around.

Me too

I would've thought him rebooking Retribution would've done that...

Was it an excited “oh boy” or a here-we-go “oh boy”?

@@talonthehand Mixed for me, it was an here-we-go ''oh boy'' because i saw his zack ryder us championship video and it was a good thing he referenced it.

I’d just book them to win the tag championships at Clash of Champions

At least give them the tag belts, if not a good singles run with English as his mouthpiece.

When that video does happen, it better come out on Rusev Day.

YES!

I hope you're one of their patrons on their Patreon. I don't think they take requests here anymore. But yeah, I'd LOVE to see Adam re-book Rusev Day, on Rusev Day.

Swear

Not even AEW eh?

Why?

The guys a knob head

Love that💪🏼 legend

Yeah. I think adults needed to realise that Cena wasn't really for them.

@@davidevens2147 Cena's character being for kids doesn't justify him being boring and generic with no personality. There are plenty of kid friendly characters who are interesting and entertaining with more to them than just "guy" or "girl." Kids understand more than most give them credit for and can handle complicated characters. So saying "It's OK if a badly written character's boring and bland because they're for kids" or "Kids will like anything no matter how bad because they're kids" is disrespectful to them.

You were a punk kiddo

Based

stop

He will apologize to china instead of that lol

@@danyyap3154 no

This joke is as funny as cenas jokes and as corny as his gimmick. Get over it dipsh*t and stop being a sjw snowflake.

Same tbh

Truest words I’ve ever heard

It's the highlight of this channel really

@@HAsway07 it’s the best thing in the IWC

He already rebooked the Higher Power on Whatculture. If I recall correctly, it was Jake Roberts

@@treykristensen8349 and he said he would do it again if we wanted.

I want the McMahon higher power storyline too. The Jake one was cool but let's see a different McMahon once

The Vick bit is easy, DON'T.

Blasphemy

To my understanding he left on good terms with everyone. If anything, he left Cultaholic on bad terms since the controversy surrounding that actually delayed the launch of that and potentially cost them a lot of money

So - You're Hancock ;)

Hey! Cool catchphrase.

Another thing. We know how flip-flop the marks are. The moment they have Cena show any sign of turning heel, they're gonna start cheering him immediately.

I'd say have Cena focus on any boos, to the point of paranoia. His literal chant was "Let's go Cena; Cena sucks". Have him hyperfocus on anybody that boos him and use that as an excuse for distraction.

In Cena's case I don't think that would be a problem, though I see where you're coming from. The Cena hating was a life force in of itself by that point, like the 'You Suck' chants for Kurt Angle, teasing a proper heel turn wouldn't have stopped it. The bit of this booking that would've got an interesting reaction (IMO) was the moment where he outright said he hates the fans - I'm inclined to say heavy booing with a faint but pronounced hint of cheering. LOL

@@NateLeonhart Not necessarily. For example, while Roman gets a lot of praise out of character for his Heel persona, the fans at WM 37 still booed him loudly because they were invested in his story and in booing him as the villain. The narrative of "fans are fickle" is one of the WWE's tools of gaslighting where they take a popular wrestler they fucked up with and then blame the fans by pretending that the fans turned on the wrestler for no reason, when often it's more complicated than that and comes down to the WWE fundamentally misunderstanding what made them popular to begin with.

Step 1: Don't break them.

Step 2: Don’t have them drop the titles to the new day

Yes please

Most of what they did, but don’t stop it for no reason. Done!

@@keshavbhargavbakshi that pretty much it!

Considering that he was the main catalyst for WWE to start investing into social media platforms like KZfaq, Facebook, Twitter and etc. Not to mention his merch were always sold out, they did him incredibly dirty. Probably one of the first cases of WWE purposely burying a wrestler that got massively over by themselves

I agree. I don't see why people hate on getting over by yourself.

Can confirm. The Godfather of wrestling media whos effects one can argue had WWE dive headfirst into social media which spread to the indies which spread to large cases like Bullet Club which spread to Being The Elite which yeah, hello AEW. I'm not saying without Zack Ryder, AEW would never have existed, but at the very least, he had an impact on the road to its creation and an impact on the entire wrestling landscape that not even close to enough people credit him for

@@vta2265 it's hilarious they stopped giving that brass ring speech after he tried to reach for it and the moral dropped in the locker room after they buried him.

@@adammccallion8640 Zack Ryder is actually the first baby face I ever turned on.

I personally called that his Executioner phase

I thought it resembled the Predator mask

@@jamalashad6460 same here!

@@rachelknightonline fir some reason I called it the emergence lol

It was great until he removed it one night, and it bent almost in half like a stereotypical wrestling prop...

Sneaky Blampied

You know. You're right, and one of the fundamental missteps of the WWE for the last few years is they mistake turns for character development. Shifting someone into a completely different person rather than growing and expanding the person they are in an organic fashion.
