This here is a very interesting video that shows some wrestlers training. All are from the WWE but you will enjoy looking at the clip. You can see a lot of Triple H working out in the gym, Randy Orton in the gym, John Cena training, Shawn Michaels working on his abs and doing some unique exercises. Most of the video shows Triple H working out but hey, we have a lot to see in Hunter, or Paul, or however you want to call this man. Triple H's workout is always intense and that is reality. In fact, all good professional wrestlers have very hard workouts and we should all respect that.

Scandal over John Cena's Entrance Theme
Now this is funny. It seems that M.O.P. is suing the WWE over John Cena's entrance theme. This is because their song, "Ante Up" features the same "BRRR Abado!" line as the wrestler's theme. It looks like the law suit asks for 150 thousand dollars and the destruction of the entrance theme. In the original song that part only appears once at the beginning and in Cena's song 3 times. As far as some people are saying, the official WWE music CDs do mention the featuring sample from M.O.P. but according to the band they did not sign the rights to the sample and the WWE actually found somebody else to sign, somebody that has no authority. It is funny to see the Cena haters and Cena lovers going at it. Well, you should know that you can suit over 2 seconds because it is the voice of the rappers. Now the law suit is on and they will surely settle it behind the scenes. Simple! Why the big fuss? In any case, let us listen to some music. Here is M.O.P.'s Ante Up:
And now John Cena's Time is Now:

Too many injuries in the WWE
There are way too many injuries in the WWE at the moment. John Cena went through surgery and will be sidelined for a long period of time. We all knew that as it was public and even on the WWE website but there are other professional wrestlers that are wrestling for the company currently sidelined. During the last SmackDown tapings it was confirmed that Jamie Noble botched an aerial move and had a bad on neck landing and Jeff Hardy also landed on his neck after a bad Whisper in the Wind. This is not to mention the fact that Ken Kenedy is scheduled for a surgery on his shoulder this Friday. The injury came in a wrestling match against Shelton Benjamin and ever since that macth Mr. Kenedy has been working light. He has a torn labron and even a damaged rotatory cuff. There are quite some injuries in the WWE and if we add the fact that Edge had to step down due to huge fatigue and pain in his entire body it does seem strange to see something like this. Wrestling truly is a demanding sport but still, too many injuries in the WWE in my book.

John Cena's Injury Legit?
When it was announced a lot of people that that the new neck injury of John Cena was just a storyline but it does seem that this injury is legit. Even before Summerslam the wrestler was suffering and he is not 100% cleared to wrestle. This is why he was taken out of the WWE scramble for the championship match and Rey Mysterio was put in instead of Cena. We are talking about what was announced as a herniated disk in his neck. My mother had something like that and it was really painful with a long recovery span. We just hope John Cena recovers quickly!

Does John Cena Suck?
I see this huge fight between wrestling fans talking about John Cena and whether or not he sucks (both literally and not). Well, with him being gay the situation is very simple: so far there is no proof that John Cena is gay except for clips made by what has been labeled as Cena Haters. Now, talking about the John Cena Sucks topic, all is related to whether or not he is a good wrestler. So many people keep talking about the fact that he can only use 5 moves. Well, if you actually take a look at his matches you will notice that he does know a lot more and the simple wrestling moves that he executes are executed with high angles or variations in mind.Now the entire world of the WWE revolves around "E", which does mean ENTERTAINMENT.We are not talking about wrestling in Japan, where all is more brutal. We are talking about shows, acting and basically entertainment. Any professional wrestler that can make the crowd love him or hate him is what is considered good in this business. He will get the belt eventually just because of this factor. Take a good look at Santino Marella for instance. He is not a great wrestler but he is so funny that people want to see him. There was one commentary in a Smackdown vs Raw video game that said something like "If the people don't buy a ticket to cheer for him, they will buy one to see him beat up!" The WWE is focused on entertainment and this is why John Cena will always be considered a good wrestler in the company, as long as writers have something to do with him.
I am not defending John Cena. He is not as good as a wrestler as others on the brand but people do want to see him win and lose at the same time. He gets mixed reactions based on where he goes. He is charismatic and talking about in ring ability, although he might not be that great, he does have explosion in his moves, not to mention not being afraid of taking risks. John Cena does not suck although you are entitled to your own opinion. Do not forget the fact that the WWE is based on a show and remember that a midget won a belt as well so you can not really criticize Cena. If you want to see good wrestlers take a look at TNA or some other wrestling federations!

Summerslam - Good and Bad at the Same Time
After all the build up in the last weeks weren't you expecting a lot from WWE Summerslam? I sure did and did not really get the satisfaction I needed except in some moments. Let us think about what happened at the "Biggest Blockbuster of the Summer". Everything started with quite a good promo. I always did like the WWE wrestling promos. They are quite good and the one with the Undertaker opened a lot of possibilities. From some pictures I actually thought that the Undertaker would come back to the Ministry days, that would have been awesome but will never happen again! A lot of WWE fans want the whole Attitude Era back and more, including the masked Kane and not to mention some wanting a return of the Rock or Steve Austin. Although the last two things are possible the others are highly impossible unless with a huge bang. The WWE did have a flop with the Degeneration-X reunion and they do bring back The Brothers of Destruction once in a while but that is about all at the moment! OK! Let's get back to Summerslam 2008 because we can rant forever on such topics.The first match of the night was a Jeff Hardy versus MVP match that was built up with less time than needed in my view. Both guys are pretty good when talking about wrestling skills but this is a feud that does need to either continue or never be mentioned again. Thumbs up on the finish of the wrestling match with the interference of Shelton Benjamin. That was quite unexpected and MVP won it due to that distraction. Given the fact that Shelton is a champion at the moment, it would be interesting to see a feud built up in these three wrestlers: Jeff Hardy, MVP and Shelton Benjamin.
Next we had the Winners Take All Match between Kofi Kingston and Mickie James versus Santino Marella and Beth Pheonix. It was kind of obvious that Santino and Beth would win it with Beth making the pin as it would only be logical. Unfortunately the match was not that entertaining and Santino does need some more ring wrestling skills. I do not know if he simply does not have wrestling moves in his arsenal or the WWE does not let him use them. On the other hand Kofi Kingston is incredibly athletic. It would be an incredible team of Kofi Kingston and The Truth Killings on Raw. Till that possibility the match was kind of short but most matches in the WWE that involve women are short. On the other hand Santino and Beth are pretty funny and I do laugh a lot when I take a look at Santino Marella. So, new champs!
We then had the Shawn Michaels retirement speech that also saw Jericho accidentaly punch HBK's wife. This storyline is quite interesting, leaving aside the eye injury storyline, which is quite stupid. On the other hand, Chris Jericho is a very good heel and he is much better than others like Randy Orton, for instance. Can't wait to see how this storyline continues!
Now the match for the ECW Championship between Mark Henry and Matt Hardy was simply a wrestling match that should not have been at a pay per view like Summerslam. The crowd loved it because of a small reunion of the Hardy Boys, probably a stunt to advertise the new Twist of Fate DVD.
Then we had the World Championship Match between CM Punk and JBL. It was obvious that CM Punk would win it and I think everyone is glad that there was no controversy when talking about wrestling in this match. CM Punk is sure to remain some time at the time due to the fact that any feud that includes him is fresh and would be original. On the other hand, at the next WWE pay per view, Unforgiven, there will be a special match that will see 5 men fight for the championship. If CM Punk wins that one he will probably hold the title for a long time.
Next the Great Khali versus Triple H for the WWE championship. The crowd was absolutely right when they were chanting "You Can't Wrestle" for Khali but hey, this is once again just business. This guy sells in a country with a lot of inhabitants like India so he needs to be involved in high angle matches. On the other hand, it would have been stupid for Khali to defeat Triple H, especially at the run he is having at the moment and the fact that he did not lose a Summerslam match in around 6 years, if I am not mistaken. A pedigree on The Great Khali and still champ, Triple H.
Now the next match was huge in terms of fans: John Cena versus Batista. A cute little storyline built on mutual respect and wanting to be the best and a match that was eagerly expected by fans. A huge mixed reaction to these two wrestlers and my pick for the match did win: Batista after a powerbomb and a Batista bomb. It is great to see that both Batista and Jena have more moves in their arsenal and I must say I really like the fact that Batista executes that Jackhammer suplex, one move I really like. I also enjoyed the Figure 4 although I will never understand why people work on the left knee and they lock on the FIgure 4 on the other leg.
The main event was the one that people really wanted to see and I do not think anyone would disagree with this. Edge versus the Undertaker, Hell in a Cell. Crazy Edge versus The Undertaker was a really intense Hell in a Cell wrestling match. What can I say? You have to see the match and I hope you did! Both wrestlers have stepped up high gears here and we saw The Undertaker executing the Last Ride, the Chokeslam, the Tombstone Piledriver, the ConChairTone, Edge's Spear, we saw three spears from Edge, camera hits, ladders, tables, chairs, stair steps and even Edge put through the ring and "burnt alive" by the Undertaker. There were so many near falls and I do think that Edge will be going on a break now. He was put into a lot of intense matches lately and I am quite surprised of the show these two professional wrestlers created. Both of them will surely be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Crazy Edge Versus the Undertaker at Summerslam
Well, I really do not have any idea who the WWE got to write the stories now but I must say that I am quite impressed. This entire Edge versus The Undertaker feud is very interesting and did not go as people expected at all. In most cases the stories would be guessed by wrestling fans but this one was quite unexpected. The black rose turnaround was pretty cool and the fact that they are putting a crazy Edge in hell in a cell against The Undertaker just made this the most expected match at Summerslam. I must also say that the choices made by the WWE are quite good as the matches at Summerslam should be a feast. It will be interesting to see how the Undertaker would wrestle and if he really is 100% and Edge should be awesome as well. I expect them to go to the top of the cage of course but what I really expect is to see a match that could go either ways. For the first time in this Undertaker versus Edge feud I would have no problem with Edge wining the match and seeing Undertaker go with Kane and re-forming the Brothers of Destruction. Kane's storyline is interesting, John Cena versus Batista is interesting and even Santino and Beth Phoenix is nice to see. For the first time in history I get to see that Triple H's title and CM Punk's title are put on the line in a pay per view in two matches that are not so eagerly expected by fans as matches that do not have a title on the line: Edge versus the Undertaker and John Cena versus Batista. This is one wrestling match that should not be missed ad I am sure everybody is expecting something HUGE!

My View on The Great American Bash
The Great American Bash is one pay per view that did get the public quite ecstatic. Although I must admit I am starting to like the TNA pay per views more, WWE can not really be left out due to the fact that they do have the money to back such events and they do have some interesting wrestlers that can deliver, although not always as they are not allowed to do as much as in TNA. Let us think about The Great American Bash 2008 and see what happened.First off we had a match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. It was about time that John Morrison and The Miz lost those titles. Really, the entire tag team division of the WWE turned to worthlessness. Finlay and his son can not really be considered a great tag team. The little guy may be entertaining but that's about it. We then had Hawkings and Ryder plus the team of Jesse and Festus. I thought that maybe Jesse and Festus would get this one as Festus has an interesting style. Well, it was not really like that but it was Festus that basically cleared the ring and then Hawkings and Ryder picked up the win. Not a great match though.
Not a bad pay per view from the WWE but I do think that there is something missing and maybe a change would be needed in the WWE as I see it losing ground in front of TNA.
The next match saw Matt Hardy vs Shelton Benjamin for the US title. I was expecting a Matt Hardy win, although the match should have been more aerial with a lot more high risk moves but hey it was not. Shelton Benjamin won it, the new US title holder and again my favorite in the match was not awarded the win by WWE writers. The match was not that bad but it could have been a lot better in my view. Hardy's missed moonsault did not look that good.
Then we had Mark Henry vs Tommy Dreamer. Well, Mark Henry is not a favorite of mine, I did not want him to win but it was obvious that he will. Tommy Dreamer on the other hand is already quite a legend when talking about ECW and the ECW title could easily be around his waist. It was quite unexpected that Tommy Dreamer lost thanks to an interference by his student. Not a bad idea but the match in itself was not that spectacular, just like any match with Mark Henry.
Then a nice grudge match, so to say, Chris Jericho versus Shawn Michaels. Now this was a match I wanted to see although the entire eye injury idea for Shawn Michaels is kind of stupid. Both wrestlers are very good and good when talking about entertainment also. Two great wrestlers that did go for a battle here. Lance Cade interfered, of course, but it is sad to see that no help for Shawn Michaels was present. On the other hand Michaels did execute some of the rare wrestling moves including the moonsault to the outside taking out both Jericho and Lance Cade. There was too much blood on Shawn's face at the end and the ending, a referee decission of Jericho winning as Michaels can not continue was not what the fans wanted for sure. On the other hand the effect was there and the fans did look like they liked it and we are talking about entertainment in the world of wrestling.
The divas match should not even be mentioned as wrestling wise I really do not watching the divas, I do not really know why but I simply do not enjoy the Divas in WWE. Michelle McCool won via submission with a heel hook after Natalya also went for submission. Wrestling wise the match was much better than a lot of wrestling matches between women we previously saw in the WWE.
The next match was for the World Heavyweight Championship, title holder CM Punk versus Batista. I expected Punk to win it but with a domination of Batista. CM Punk's kicks were quite interesting and Batista's strength moves were also well delivered. The contrast in styles between the two wrestlers was the main factor that made the match interesting. We also saw a huge spinebuster on the outside and then a no contest for the World title. Kane interfered and laid out both wrestlers. That was not great. The match was not bad at all, quite good and saw Batista heading for a win and we should have had a finish to the match.
Now we also had a NY City parking lot brawl between John Cena and JBL. HMMMM, let us say that this was not great from my point of view. I like watching wrestling matches not simulated street fights as they always look like not real. At least the wrestling matches are more spectacular due to the moves you can perform in the ring and even right outside it. Parking lot brawl is never that spectacular, not to mention the fact that it is kind of dangerous. JBL won it after Cena seemed to win it with ease. Short but intense, not bad but still not my favorite type of match. We hope the feud will continue due to the fact that it was kind of well built with the interferences of Cryme Time and all.
The main event was what we all wanted to see from my point of view. I was expecting an Edge win so that he would re-become the champ and continue the feud with The Undertaker soon but it does look like The Undertaker will not be back as fast as I would like him to. On the other hand, Triple H versus Edge is a good feud as both wrestlers are good when talking about entertainment, guts and wrestling skills. The entire storyline is long and Vickie is involved. I really want to know where this whole thing goes in the future. The Game won the match only after Vickie tried to attack Edge and that wedding planner interfered only to get Edge to miss a spear and land it on Vickie. Pedigree and then the win for the Game.

My View on WWE Judgement Day 2008
Well, Judgement Day 2008 was not really that impressive on the whole and I have not been impressed by most things. First off we had a JBL vs John Cena match, one that started very slow. JBL started working on Cena's shoulder, Cena missing a flying move from the turnbuckle and basically a big domination on the part of JBL. Then, when John Cena seemed to be out of it we saw the F U and everything was over. Quite a long and boring match, definitely one that should not have been the first one in the pay per view. Then we got to see a match for the tag team titles between John Morrison and The Miz and the team of the ECW Champion Kane and CM Punk. We did see some nice moves by CM Punk, a Chokeslam by Kane on The Miz on the outside and then John Morrison with a finisher on Punk for the win. Again, not a special math whatsoever.Then we got to see the match between Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels. Now this match did live up to the hype and it has quite an interesting storyline around it, with HBK faking injury to win against Batista. The entire match was action packed and I must say that it was totally enjoyable. Every wrestler pulled out their signature moves and Shawn Michaels won the match with a roll up as Jericho was going for the Walls of Jericho. Thumbs up for this match!
We also saw the women's title defended by Mickie James in what was quite a decent match but not as special as the matches we get to see more and more often in TNA. Now Mickie did put in great moves and Beth Phoenix did lift both of the opponents (Melina and Mickie James) on just one shoulder, showing a lot of strength although the end was a simple jumping DDT on Melina. Not a great match but one that was better than many women's wrestling matches I saw in the WWE.
Now the next match was the one I was waiting for as the Undertaker faced Edge for the vacated World Heavyweight Championship title. I must say that this storyline was great and still is great, probably the best one that I have seen in a while with the WWE. I am still disgusted by the fact that Vickie Guerrero is playing the role of Edge's girlfriend but still, this does sit well with the entire storyline. The match was great between the two wrestlers and the end saw the Undertaker win via count out. Then we got to see a twist in the story as there was no pin or submission so Vickie Guerrero stated that the title is still vacant. Then there was a tombstone on Edge just as The Undertaker was pissed. Can't wait to see how this rivalry continues.
Next we saw an unexpected match with MVP issuing a challenge and Matt Hardy accepting it on behalf of Jeff Hardy. Cute little match that was won with the Whisper in the Wind by Hardy although MVP kind of dominated most of the match.
The main event was Triple H versus Randy Orton for the WWE title. The match was pretty good but nothing really special. You had the feeling of hate between the wrestlers and that is always nice. Triple H did a figure 4 leg lock and then some chair shots. Not a great match although it is good to continue the feud, which will lead towards a Last Man Standing match at One Night Stand. That match should be more interesting. On the whole, it was not as special as I had hoped. The Undertaker's match and Jericho's were enjoyable but the rest were kind of boring in my view.

4 Days Till WWE Judgement Day
4 Days till Judgement Day and we have quite an interesting wrestling matches card setup although not that much to my personal liking. We will get to see a steel cage match between Triple H and Randy Orton for the WWE championship and the World Heavyweight Championship will be defended by The Undertaker against Edge. Now the women's championship will be won or lost in a triple threat match between Beth Phoenix, Mickie James and Melina. The stupid (in my personal view) rivalry between JBL and John Cena will be handled in a regular match. We will also see a match for the Intercontinental Championship between Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels and then the last match that is announced is for the WWE Tag Team Championship between the raining champions, The Miz & John Morrison and ECW Champion Kane and CM Punk. I do not really know why but I think TNA Sacrifice will end up being better than Judgement Day.

Jeff Hardy's return date announced
I don't really know if this was planned or not by the WWE (in the sense of leaking a return date for the wrestler) but Jeff Hardy is currently scheduled to wrestle on the RAW house show in Las Cruces, New Mexico, which will take place on the 20th of June. Jeff Hardy was suspended on March 11st for 60 days due to violating the Wellness Policy of the WWE for the second time. The house show will also see John Cena fighting Randy Orton for the WWE Championship (you know what that means), DX versus Umaga and Snitsky, Jeff Hardy versus Lance Cade, Mr. Kennedy versus Chris Jericho (for the Intercontinental Title) and Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes versus Santino Marella and Carlito (for the World Tag Team Championship).

Wrestlemania 24 - 2008 Facts
Wrestlemania 24 does seem to shape up as a huge wrestling event. It is currently the grand stage of all wrestling events around the world. Wrestlemania 24 will happen on March 30 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, with a seated capacity of 70,000 places. At the moment we have around 100 people that are working 16 hours daily in order to build the Wresltemania set and this will also bring in the largest pyrotechnics display in the history of professional wrestling. To make it even more special, we will see a new steel roof that is being constructed above the ring in order to protect all wrestlers (and hopefully spectators) from rain. This steel roof will also be the set used to hang lights and even a massive video board. We will also see a new wrestling structure built on the North End of the stadium and this is where the entrance ramp will be set up for the wrestler's entrance. WWE wants to end building the entire structure by March 29 in order to make rehearsals for the various technical parts of the show.What is interesting is that after the show will be over we will need to wait for around 4 days until the entire structure will be pulled down. Then the WWE will immediately start planning for Wrestlemania 25 and various cities are interested in hosting the wrestling show in the future. Orlando is already pushing to host it in around 2012 again and Phoenix wants to host Wrestlemania in 2010. Wrestlemania 25 will be held in Houston, Texas.
The matches for Wrestlemania 24 are also going to be quite interesting. We have a triple threat match for the WWE Championship that features John Cena, Triple H and the current WWE Champion, Randy Orton. Then the undefeated at Wrestlemania Undertaker takes on the Rated R Superstar Edge for the World Heavyweight title. The entertainment match of Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. Big Show (this should be interesting). A Career Threatening Match for Ric Flair as he takes on Shawn Michaels. The Smackdown vs Raw match will see Batista taking on Umaga. We also have a Belfast Brawl match between Finlay and JBL (I sincerely hope Finlay will win it - he is hard working and should get a win at Wrestlemania). There will also be a match that I will not be watching: BunnyMania Lumberjack Match featuring Candice & Maria vs. The Glamazon & Melina. We also have the Money in the Bank match of course, one that is so far filled with controversy due to Jeff Hardy's suspension. I don't think we will see Jeff in it and we will probably have to see a Money in the Bank Match at Wrestlemania 24 that features: John Morrison, CM Punk, Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, MVP, Chris Jericho (the man that won the Intercontinental title from Hardy and qualified for the match by defeating the same Jeff Hardy) and Mr. Kennedy. Two champs (US and Intercontinental) are put in this Money in the Bank - it should be a huge match.

Royal Rumble 2008 Winner - John Cena
I must say that it has been a while since I saw a WWE pay per view that would make me happy. The Royal Rumble 2008 did and not because of the matches but because of the Royal Rumble itself. It was a pretty good Rumble, with a tremendous amount of stars and wrestlers that did make a name for themselves in the industry. I must say the Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper moment was interesting although not really spectacle in terms of wrestling. Then number 29, this is where it all started to be really interesting. Triple H comes out and I thought we were going to see a Triple H vs Batista as the final two, although The Undertaker is one of my favorites and I would have loved to see him win it again. Then, number 30, a little suspense and John Cena's entrance theme starts. I was like WTF? Everybody was expecting a John Cena appearance and him to be back in action at Wrestlemania. I mean the guy had a big injury and to be back in action so fast would be a tremendous achievement. I got over the moment and thought that he was going to get out quickly, just making an appearance. Well, it was not like that and the final three men were John Cena, Batista and Triple H. Triple H eliminated Batista and then John Cena eliminated Triple H. So the 2008 Royal Rumble winner is John Cena.Now love him or hate him, it is true that John Cena is not that much of a wrestler but his intensity and capacity do make a show and make the fans get on their feet is respectable. This guy is a great entertainer and we saw that at the Royal Rumble as well. So John Cena is back in action from a torn pectoral muscle injury and he will headline Wrestlemania against a champion of his choosing. One thing that I think I noticed was that the crowd kind of wanted Triple H to win it and it did seem that he had a lot more crowd heat behind him. But on the other hand, it's the show that counts! John Cena will probably go for Edge or Randy Orton for the title, as ECW is too small for him. I do think he should be on RAW and go against Edge but, then again, Randy Orton should lose his title in my view, not a great champion, not that entertaining for me. We will have to see what happens next. But here we have it, John Cena, the surprise of the year so far for the WWE, the 2008 Royal Rumble Winner.
PS: We also saw some other interesting matches, Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy (As expected), JBL defeated Chris Jericho by disqualification (not really expected but Chris Jericho took it to another level - the future might be a no DQ at Wrestlemania), Edge defeats Rey Mysterio (as expected but after Vickie Guerrero got in the way and not the Edgeheads as we thought) and Ric Flair defeated MVP (As expected). Oh, did I mention John Cena won the Royal Rumble?

Wrestler of the Year 2007: John Cena
Like him or hate him, according to Pro Wrestling Illustrated the wrestler of the year 2007 is WWE's John Cena. Even if his injury is one that does keep him away from the ring a long time, it seems that he has still done enough to make it to the top of the list. In case you want to know, the one that came second is also a professional wrestler in the WWE, Edge. The best wrestler in TNA was of course Kurt Angle, but he was only fourth in the official top of 2007. Also, just in case you are wondering, John Cena is expected to make his return in the ring around Wrestlemania and if he succeeds he will probably go directly after the title, just like Chris Jericho did in his return against Randy Orton. It will be interesting to see whether the WWE will put him as a winner when he goes back for the championship or not. Also, we need to see if he will still be fit but knowing Cena's determination, he will probably be better than ever.

John Cena Injury and the WWE
I was very sorry to hear of John Cena's injury as it is quite a serious one that will keep him out of the wrestling ring for a medium time frame of 8 months. The irony is that usually an injury is not good for a company but this one here did come at a good time. This is because John Cena had a very well built feud with Randy Orton, one that involved family members and was supposed to go out with a bang at No Mercy. Cena got his ugly injury and this actually makes Randy Orton an even bigger heel. This makes out to many possibilities of a John Cena comeback. We can even have a heel John Cena, as he did not really loose the title and the WWE seemed to want a heel champion, so anything is possible.WWE fans have been complaining about John Cena recently and there are a lot of mixed views about him. Well, now we have him off for around 6 to 12 months and this is a great base for a huge comeback. Just take a look at the popularity Triple H has now, after his comeback. When John Cena comes back to to the wrestling ring, I think there will be some type of character change there. It will be interesting to see it. Maybe he will record a new Audio CD in the time to bring more money to himself and the WWE. Anyway, John Cena's comeback will be interesting for sure and the fans will probably like it a lot.
Just in case you want to see it, here is a clip that highlights John Cena's match with Mr. Kennedy, the one that lead to Cena's pectoral injury. The clip also shows commentary about what happened. Cena knew he was injured and the attack by Randy Orton continued as planned. The RKO also added to the injury because of the impact on the same area affected. It is interesting that John Cena won the title from Edge, who is now suffering from the same injury John Cena has. Watch the clip:
