Rad Link 5 03/31/12 2:38:00 PM #366:	It's kind of admirable what Cena's trying to do there, actually. This whole reality era thing is basically an attempt to "make wrestling real" again, so he seems to be trying to get on board with that by making people believe that today's heels are genuinely bad people backstage. He just doesn't seem to understand that coming right out and claiming it is not going to make people believe it. -- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1417/nighthawks1575201136223.jpg <cite>Rad Link 5 posted [p:953685] in All-Purpos...

Though to be fair, we did get Kane trying to drag Ryder into hell just a few months ago. And that was amazingly cheesy in the best way possible. It was exactly the kind of thing I watch wrestling for. My only complaint about that feud is that we didn't have Ryder burning Cena's shirt to gain his powers in some sort of ironic twist to face Kane at Wrestlemania.

TheRock1525 03/31/12 3:14:00 PM #381:	That's just it, though. This isn't "making wrestling real" the way you're used to. Think about how you thought Cena was actually claiming you have to be an actual bad guy to be a bad guy. How some people thought The Rock was legitimately angry after Cena claimed he reads off a script. That stuff isn't convincing children or "idiots," it's for making today's educated-fans believe. To make them believe there's actual animosity between these people. Everyone knows they're playing a character, but when you hear one wrestler say something about another that sounds like it could be their subtle attempt to take a shot at "Paul Lavesque" instead of "Triple H," dirtsheet-hungry fans will lap that stuff up. That's how they want to make it real. Except that stuff doesn't work at all with me. I don't believe that The Rock actually hates Cena. I don't think they're best buds, obviously, but I never bought for a second that "oh, this is legit animosity." When Austin and Rock went at it, I knew that those guys were friends backstage, but they weren't pretentious enough to make it sound like "Oh, we hate each other" via backstage politics and stuff. Though to be fair, we did get Kane trying to drag Ryder into hell just a few months ago. And that was amazingly cheesy in the best way possible. It was exactly the kind of thing I watch wrestling for. Same here, which is why the reality era can kiss my ass. I'd rather watch something like that then "OMG you kiss so much ass backstage thats the only reason why youre a top guy" -- TheRock ~ Slow dramatic zoom-pan. Doesn't phase the hooded man.
