Yeah he did. I hate him though and will probably not care even though they finally had him in a decent angle.

This I disagree with. He is a cancer to that company's booking success. I could care less how much money they make from marks buying his dumb shit, he is awful. There's plenty of time to book wrestlemania stuff if he won't be available, and it will be better off without him. He can't work worth a shit, except for some reason puts on decent matches with Batista. That is proof that two (huge) negatives make a positive. And Batista is gone, so I really hope Cena isn't able to be back for WM27. That being said, he probably will be there.

WWE isnt for wrestling. It is for entertainment. Cena is one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever. Im pretty sure he can go in the ring too. Remember his debut match with Angle? It was a pretty good one.

If you think Cena is entertaining I really feel sorry for you. There's a reason "Cena sucks" chants are audible on two-thirds of WWE programs he appears on.

Oh and did you really just say he's a good wrestler in ring also? I honestly don't even know how to respond to that.

I personally dont, but a ton of people think he is.

[4th and Long]

I love the internet.

According to several sources, WWE's Superman was injured last night at a live show in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

John Cena was facing Wade Barrett and injured his knee courtesy of Barrett's "Wasteland Slam."

The match was immediately finished with Cena winning by submission.

Kevin Ech from The Baltimore Sun stated, "After the match, Cena—who was having trouble putting weight on the leg—got on the mic and said to the crowd that he may 'need time off after tonight,' and then he limped to the back under his own power."

So the question is where does the WWE go from here? Clearly they have invested a ton of stock in Cena. Rightfully so, as he has made them a ton of money over the past five years.

Could it be time for the WWE machine to push someone else to the top and carry the company until Cena heals?

Or will Cena try to fight through it and risk further injury?

I guess only time will tell. Hopefully Cena will have a speedy recovery and the WWE can figure out how to work without him.

- News has been quiet regarding John Cena's apparent injury in the match against Wade Barrett in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania last night.
The only thing that's being said is that Cena suffered a deep bruise and the injury isn't as serious as originally feared. This isn't an official announcement from WWE but one report that's going around. We hope to have more later.

Meltzer: John Cena NOT Injured, Looking For Way Out Of WWE Contract

According to Dave Meltzer of Yahoo Sports, former WWE heavyweight champion John Cena is looking for an "exit strategy" to get out of his WWE contract.. Cena "badly" wants to work the UFC's PPV in Toronto next year.

The MMA world has been buzzing about this story since Dave Meltzer broke the news on Tuesday night. Meltzer said on his radio show that the beatdown by Nexus has changed Cena's attitude on wrestling and he is at the stage in his life where he doesn't want to get injured. He's very well off financially and the business man in him apparently knows that it may be time to move on.

Its widely known that Cena is miserable with WWE's brutal travel schedule and doesn't want to be on the road with WWE 200 days a year again. With the mainstream success he's had in movies and the insane drawing power he's displayed during in the WWE, he could make a truckload of money working a couple of PPVs and a few other limited appearances.

I'm not finding any of that stuff on Meltzer's site, although I haven't listened to the radio shows yet (been away from home for a week....)

Here's his actual speech:

[Sassy Squatch]

On his Twitter page, Hall of Famer Jim Ross noted that John Cena suffered a hip pointer injury during last night’s match vs. Wade Barrett in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

For those wondering what a hip pointer injury is, below is an exploration courtesy of About.com:

A hip pointer injury is extremely painful, acute injury to the iliac crest of the pelvis. The injury causes bleeding into the abdominal muscles, which attach to the iliac crest. The bone and overlying muscle are often bruised, and the pain can be intense. Pain may be felt when walking, laughing, coughing, or even breathing deeply.

So is this when we should be expecting Triple H to return? Or is he busy playing family man with Stephanie and the father-in-law?

Current stories/angles are weak at the moment...

He could be a surprised entry in the rumble and win it or something.

I think he's just about healed. Nothing solid, but he should be part of wrestlemania, but I have no clue who he'll be working with.

My guess is (unfortunately) that he'll win the rumble and be there long term to put Miz in his place.

I think I did read earlier this week, however, that he's now essentially taken over the booking, and is now acting as the new Vince.

I'm actually intrigued to see where they're going to go with CM Punk and John Cena. It's a fresh feud that could establish Punk as a main event heel if they don't squash him too quickly, even with Nexus hanging around Punk's neck like a lead weight.

I wish to christ they'd do something with Daniel Bryan. He's the best worker on either brand by a long shot and if they'd give him time the way Miz and Morrison were on Monday (which was great) he's somebody else who could really establish himself. He's been getting over despite everything they've tried to do to keep him down (losing streak on NXT, Cole's constant hammering, goofy t-shirt and behavior with the bellas, etc). You can tell that he's somebody that most of the crowds seem to want to like, but he wasn't even on Raw last week...

I have no idea what else they're going to do. It still makes more sense to have HHH come back and feud with Sheamus, but they've managed to turn Sheamus from a monster into a joke in about two months time.

I guess we'll see more "mainstream" bullshit, "hollywood" "stars" come in to try to pop a buy rate. Maybe Brock Lesnar in a referee's role. And on raw we'll continue to have our time wasted with horrible backstage segments, awful women's matches, and the continued destruction of the tag team division with "champions" santino and koslov.

They could be so much more...

(They meaning Raw and Smackdown)

You know, the thing I liked most about Raw this week is that it opened up with a long match, instead of a long segment, and it ended basically the same way. I think the show would be so much better if they'd gear it towards events in the ring instead of on the mike. Make it more about fighting and less about storyline. Or make the storylines lead in a logical way to matches that are portrayed to be some kind of athletic competition, mano y mano.

[Sassy Squatch]

Looks like it will be John Cena and Miz, and Wade Barrett and Undertaker as 2 matches being set up for Wrestlemania.

Looks to me like they're setting up Punk and Cena as a Wrestlemania match, rather than Cena and Miz, but who can say. They'll change their minds every week until March.

As far as Barrett goes, it's too early to tell. Right now they're starting him off with Big Show. Which would be painful to watch if I still actually watched Smackdown.
