You've got a point with all of those, I'm just saying in terms of being absolutely destroyed for 15 minutes it's right up there. If it was a 2-on-1 handicap match it would be usual, but weapons elevate even someone like Riley into a decent threat, you know?
I mean Orton in Iron Man is a longer length of time but that's one man (mostly), and Cena pinned/submitted Orton 5 times in that period of time, so.
Maybe the problem then is that I'm lacking clarity on what way the TC is defining 'strongest kayfabe match' in these topics. I assumed it to mean "match where the odds were stacked the highest against them." As in, I would have to believe in kayfabe that Cena was being given a run for his money.
In answer the Miz/Riley thing, I guess if we're thinking about a numbers-game type scenario, I'd almost want to throw out that Cena vs Nexus handicap match that happened on Raw. Speaking in kayfabe, he had zero chance of winning that. Granted, they were all considered rookies and it didn't have a No DQ stip, but that's too much for any one person to handle, especially after how absolutely destructive the Nexus looked after their initial invasion of Raw.
But if the criteria is "match where the person endured the most pain," then I concede a case for Miz/Riley might be plausible. The topic name just doesn't seem to reflect that direction, IMO.
EDIT:
@JaKyL25 - I'm about 80% sure Cena was one of the first two entrants in that particular chamber match. I think he started it out against either HBK or Carlito, and he won that one.
