Title: Last Night's SD! Cena as Champ...OK.
Description: From a SmackDown! fan...
SWIFT - April 8, 2005 03:10 PM (GMT)
What did ya'll think of last night's SD! Personally, it only had two good matches to me London vs. Kidman and JBL vs. Misterio--which mind you, their main event OWNED RAW's main event...even though overall, RAW owned SD! this week.
Plus, Cena as champ--I know we can't judge until he's had some matches defending the title--BUT c'mon! This champion's speech was garbage, man. You hear how he kept DRILLING that catch phrase "Da Champ's Here!" in our heads? I heard skull fragments crackling and stuff, man. I'm fan of JBL--in big matches and PPV matches, and the old saying is true in this case...
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone."
I miss JBL as Champ already. At least with him you were GUARANTEED to get blood (and plenty of it) in a PPV main event! Plus his matches were extremely hard fought...except at WM XXI...I truly hope Cena impreesses because I've been entertained by his mic skills since he choose the rapper gimmick--now the people's champ gimmick. His in-ring stuff never really impressed me.

jbl'S CHARACTER WAS AN AWESOME HEEL CHAMP. sHAME IS RING WORK ONLY EVER BECAME AVERAGE AT BEST.
Tommy Stone - April 8, 2005 04:38 PM (GMT)
angle for champ !!!!!!!!
i dislike both cena and jbl. angle should be champ or mysterio should get the push he so greatly deserves.
The BeeK - April 8, 2005 06:00 PM (GMT)
You know at Judgement Day it's Cena VS JBL right? Most likely in a "I Quit" match
Kram - April 8, 2005 06:08 PM (GMT)
Yeah, that should'nt be too bad, they've both had good brawls in the past. If they have to wrestle each other this is the way they should do it. (think mankind vs Rock style I quit.)
Tommy Stone - April 8, 2005 06:15 PM (GMT)
if it's as good as that match i'll quit efedding for good!!
cena has never really impressed me since he started and jbl was only good in the apa. i'm not gonna get my hopes up, because it will never if come close to rock Vs mankind
Kram - April 8, 2005 06:21 PM (GMT)
I'm not saying it'll be as good as rock mankind, I'm just saying that it'll be done in a similar style. As in no submission holds.
Harpsichord - April 8, 2005 06:47 PM (GMT)
I'd like Christian as SD champ personally;
he'd be the best heel champ; EVER!!
Souless_One_Shawn_Lyght - April 8, 2005 07:35 PM (GMT)
JBL was a damn good heel champion... but as Cena said...<I>"He didn't have to cheat to win his matches"</i>. I think Cena will show all of us his <b>TRUE</b>potential soon.
David Cyclone - April 8, 2005 09:36 PM (GMT)
I hope Christian goes to SmackDown and gets the number one contendership, he deserves the Title but isn't going to get it on RAW.
Jake Davis - April 8, 2005 09:58 PM (GMT)
Christian on Smackdown! or just imagine this Edge gets transferred to SD, he wins the SD title and the next RAW ppv and challenges the World Heavyweight champion! Two champs battling it out, but Edge will have to lose that match though.
SWIFT - April 8, 2005 10:16 PM (GMT)
I dunno about Cena showing us his true potential I mean JBL can hold a good brawling match against big name wrestlers--AT A PPV. I know it wasn't JBL's fault the match stunk--Cena isn't all that impressive, because he has the WWE Title doesn't mean he'll better...when he had the US Title he wasn't that good and he had it TWICE.
You go to SD! anyone could become champ...
Edge (definitely), Christian, JERICHO, Benjamin, Hassan (oh yeah), Angle (no doubt), Kane (what? the last time he had it was uh...6 or 7 years ago ROFLMAO), ahem...Big Show (ain't had it in like 2 or 3 years) and my personal pick...Carlito
John Cena? Das not cool...Carlito? Now dat...dat is cool. Can't wait to see Carlito's Cabana this month :D
David Cyclone - April 8, 2005 11:00 PM (GMT)
Smackdown Champ should be Christian
Raw Champ should be Y2J Chris Jericho
Manager Luke Marr - April 9, 2005 01:22 PM (GMT)
i agree about the RAW champ... Cena the one trick pony needs to be put down quickly... John Cena... thats not Cool... Carlito... now thats cool
Daemon - April 9, 2005 01:44 PM (GMT)
Personally i thought Smackdown beat the shit oput of RAW. The triple threat match was the best match on the card, but the result was total bullshit! The crowd wanted Y2J to get the IC Title, you all saw! Y2J Had it won, Tomko even set it up for him! BUt yet somehow Benjamin miraculosly(srry bout the spelling) recovered! Cmon who else wants to see Jericho the IC Champ. He hardly had it for a month when he won it at Unforgiven, and lost it at Taboo Tuesday. I personally thin Jeicho is getting thrown around.
SWIFT - April 9, 2005 01:56 PM (GMT)
I would love to see Jericho as WORLD Champion...IC is OK, only he's had it so many times. I think the IC title is for exciting wrestlers though...Benjamin, Christian, Y2J *coughkicksasscough*
Maybe he'll request to go to RAW. Think about it, for people like Orton, Jericho, and Christian there really isn't much left for them on RAW. Jericho has won all the major titles on RAW, Christian's never gonna get his mits on the WHC, and Orton...uh...unless he wants a tag title he could stay. I could care less about Orton actually.
SIG POP: "Orton IS the default wrestler..." WOOOOOOO
Anyway, Jericho could go to SD! and take his claim to 2 WWE title wins at least. Jericho vs. Angle? Now das cool...the only reason why not Jericho is because then we'll have the Highlight Reel AND Carlito's Cabana--I must admit though, Carlito and Y2J on the same show would ROFL funny. Kane can stay on RAW...he was supposed to show up LAST YEAR but didn't, so he can stay, we don't need him! :angry:
Daemon - April 9, 2005 04:57 PM (GMT)
I say the person who should go to smackdown among anyone else is Edge. He has everythign there! Title shots are being handed out like candy there, and I think Benoit should got back to smackdown to, I would love to see him and kurt go at it again. They should add Mysterio to the mix once again.
P.S: If anyone wants to see Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle vs. Mysterio email me at nmy hotmail address and ill gladly send it to you.

JBL's place was in APA.
John Cena's place is in some indy feds.
WWF has gone to dogs.

Nemesis - April 10, 2005 10:27 PM (GMT)
I was never really a Bradshaw mark (for chrissakes his finisher is about as lame as Hogan's leg drop is nowadays) even in the APA. (Unfortunately I can remember the Kaientai fighting Cowboy gimmick he used to use, and that kind of spoils him for me) That and he has been in every single 'mid-card and lower' team, and the only reason Ministry were in any way feared was because of Taker (or as my Brother re-named them in Wrestlemania 2000 on N64, 'Bunch of losers INC'.)
Cena having the top title is like a pyromaniac trapped in a room for of dynamite with only a zippo lighter to see by. Ultimately Self-distructive and with very little future.
Do the WWE suddenly think they are going to get an influx of Eminem-loving hood-wanabees? There is a reason its known as the 'Rock-and-Wrestling' connection.
Whatever they decide to do with Cena, I hope it lasts as long as Kane's title reign back in 1999 (or was it 98?)
Rant off

hellsguardian - April 10, 2005 10:44 PM (GMT)
damnit give Kane a real title run as a heel
Cena sux, give anyonebut cena the title
Orton and Christian need to be on SD (not Edge, he needs to stay)
Daemon - April 10, 2005 11:20 PM (GMT)
WTf is up wit you guardian. Edge needs to go to smackdown. He would have a way better run as WWE Champ then World Heavyweught.
A) Theres noway Batista os going to lose to Edge anytime Edge is a heel, which is going to be for a long time.
B) The way the WWE is treating Edge on raw, even AFTER he won the money in the bank ladder match, is a crime. He should be winning matches now, not losing them.
If this continues, screw the World Heavyweight Championship. He should defintly go to SD.
hellsguardian - April 10, 2005 11:35 PM (GMT)
Kane needs to be champ over Edge
SWIFT - April 11, 2005 02:07 PM (GMT)
Kane should be World Champ again--he held it for LESS than 24 hours before Austin put some stank on it pinned him for the belt. Edge should go to SD! because he could add to the WWE Title, but do very little for the main title.
The sad thing is even if Christian did go to SD!, he would still be you know...not getting that chance at the title, that chance to win it I mean. And Christian would be good for the WWE Title too. Rey is an OK wrestler to me, he was way better in WCW and ECW, but when you see him too often it's like c'mon man, your 26 or 27 you've got time to be creative! Impress me, create some NEW moves or new spots...Thank god for Super Crazy being signed.
I know Crazy is gonna be watered down and probably end up on Velocity, but still Super Crazy is better than Rey Rey as he's a 3-dimensional wrestler (can fly, can brawl, and can go to the mat). But back to the World Title...Cena needs to loose it, he's annoying now and he doesn't even mic battle anymore...Plus he's bland.
Harpsichord - April 11, 2005 02:12 PM (GMT)
Imagine what SD could have done with Raven...
They could have had some seriously f(beep)ing hell cool JBL vs. Raven matches..
I mean for brutality and blood... Bah!! I wanna see it :(
hellsguardian - April 11, 2005 06:59 PM (GMT)
the women's divison pisses me off at times because they sign them when they have no in ring talent
only two divas are good in the ring: Victoria and Molly Holly
Two are Decent: Trish and Lita
now enough ranting bout that, they need to bring back the hardcore title that would awesome if they did, give wrestlers who probaly wont get any other title so come on WWE bring my title back lol
Akira - April 11, 2005 08:08 PM (GMT)
They're not bringing that title back...I love it, but they're not gonna bring it back because they don't have to compete with ECW for fan attention. New Jack said it himself, "I was the one taking the big bumps in ECW! I was the one who was jumping off of 35 and 40ft balconies at that time, no one else! Vince saw that and he make his son Shane do that sh**! When ECW went off the air, they stopped hardcore all together!"
It's true. The hardcore title was fun though, not true hardcore but it was interesting the watch, that's what the diva segments replaced.
Nemesis - April 12, 2005 12:34 AM (GMT)
That quote is mildly un-true. Shane, foolish perhaps, eager to impress maybe, sure of his (relative) lack of in-ring ability, but happy to work with the props department, decided to do the majority of the 'stupid' bumps himself.
Vince wasn't exactly happy when Shane-O flew in Summerslam onto the announce tables, but the reaction made him turn a blind eye.
However, rumour has it Vince flipped his lid when Steve Blackman and Shane climbed the tron and Shane-O took a kendo-stick assisted plunge from 30ft.
So while yeah, Shane McMahon did it to even the playing field versus ECW, Vince and Linda sure as hell didn't tell him to do it. (Linda once famously declared that if Vince endangered their children then all of WWE would belong to her, and would most likely file for divorce straight after. While she was happy for her family to appear in storylines, she was dead against anything other than token in-ring activity.)
One thing the McMahons are not is Stupid. Current champion / TV storyline choices aside :P

I can see a place for Bradshaw. He can be fighting people like Heidenriche, Batista, Sntisky, Kane, Undertaker etc. All the big powerhouses bring a unique enjoyment.
Cena on the other hand has a suckass gimmick with a crappy wrestling ability. WWF has fallen to dogs that they now have to make money by attracting 10-13 yr old eminem fans! John Cena would be an ok Low-carder wreslting against Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerro, Billy Kidman, Scotty Too Hotty etc.

Manager Luke Marr - April 18, 2005 09:56 PM (GMT)
