Last night’s “Vengeance: Night of Champions” was, in my remarks, one of the better Pay-Per-Views the WWE has put on in a while. But I noticed something last night… my focus was not on Cena during the 5-man Challenge Match last night. I was just looking forward to the match, until I saw him walk down the red carpet in Houston. All I could think was… “There he goes again, woth his spinner belt.” I felt an empty feeling, and found myself not booing him. I even cheered when that pop was made with Cena FU’ing Lashley through the ECW announce table, which was a good pop, I’ll admit. But now that I’m back to my normal “I hate Cena” state, I will name 5 possible candidates to “Take the Strap Off Cena”.
(This article is not a gimmick. I’m going back to my journalistic style, the way I do it best.)
5. Randy Orton: “Another Headlock Randy?” has obviously been on his best behavior since that disastrous European Tour, and he’s back in the title picture. But since last night’s 5-man was a huge clusterf**k which hardly proved anything, Randy should finish his revived “Legend Killer” storyline and challenge Cena before anyone else gets there. Since a Lashley/Cena feud is already brewing, I would love to see Orton take the huge heel role that Edge left wide open since his move to SmackDown!, and who better than Randy? (That’s why this is a backwards countdown…)
4. King Booker: The king is back like Hova, but he’s not throwing up the Roc… King Booker pointed out in his brief 90-second promo, which was cut very well, that he and the word champion relate. But what he fails to understand is that WCW disintegrated when it was purchased, leaving him in the fray. The writers need to show some nuts and keep him in the title picture. Booker has the skills, juist put him there…
3. Triple H: In light of the ‘Who Killed Vince?” storyline, Triple H will come back by SummerSlam, where the jackholes at WWE meet their “Jackass”. Leave Paul out of that, and give us another great fued between the current star and the legend. Now, don’t clone the Cena/Michaels fued to the bone, give Triple H the “Cerebral Assassin” motive again, bring something fresh. The Game hasn’t had gold in a long while now, and he needs another push in the Land of Raw.
2. Bobby Lashley: The last thing most of you want to see is a Bobby Lashley title run, but give him a chance. Face vs. Face is a rarity now in the WWE, although neither Lashley nor Cena are a Hulk Hogan at all. Lashley as WWE champ is something that can be a rollercoaster ride through the Fall season, and who doesn’t like rollercoaster rides (quivers with fear)?
1. Ken Kennedy: Because he has it coming, and he’s Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Kennedyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
(Kennedyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!)
