During this Tuesday's WWE Smackdown and Main Event television taping, Sin Cara wrestled a dark match before the event, defeating Damien Sandow. Sin Cara had his hand taped up during the match, but it appears he won't be taking any more time off. 

 

 

Wait, Sin Cara defeated Sandow? WTH? I hope there was interference from Cody or something....(I didn't read the spoilers yet so)

Damn, that's some ace bandaging job. At least he's upbeat and the surgery was a  success. Can't wait to see him back and IF WWE changes him up at all. (No, they won't go heel with him)

This 100 times.

 

Look, the IWC loves to hate on Cena for his character. But it's creative, and WWE who keep him the same year after year. They don't want to lose the merch sales (which is totally understandable) and they don't want to lose the demographics he brings in. Cena CAN wrestle. How many 5 star matches has he had lately? That one at Summerslam, the one with CM Punk a couple of months ago, there was one with Ziggler and another with ADR awhile ago. But you know, he can't wrestle. I get the reasons, but I don't get the hate on the MAN. I guess I never will. Because I'm able to be logical and deduce things you know....properly and all - I guess the smart marks and IWC are just smarter than me and know Cena must be the devil or something.

 

Cena also pulled Khali through the best match - by far - Khali has ever had. Not 5 star, by any means, but far better than anything he's ever had.

It isn't Cena's fault that WWE limits everyones movesets down to nothing. 

Earlier this year, WWE signed Mascarita Dorada to a developmental deal and he's going to be accompanying Los Matadores. Dorada is a mini, better known to us as a "midget wrestler".

How *I* would bring Cena back:

 

  • Keep him off screens for at least 6 months.  Risky as hell but it also gives WWE something they need - a chance to show they are not 100% reliant upon Cena to appeal to the younger audience.
  • Don't turn him heel, but don't have him as SuperCena.  IMHO he is at his best when he's the underdog.  His feuds with JBL, Nexus, etc - when he was constantly getting the raw deal - his fans want to see him win, but tease it.  Have him beaten cleanly and show him working back up.
  • Change his music.  It no longer suits his character.  It's no longer musically relevant.
  • Change his attire.  Make him look more "classic wrestler" is where I'd go on that (boots and leggings).
  • MAYBE slim him down a little.  He is so built currently that it looks fake.  Make him more legitimate looking.
  • Give him a decent opponent to push.  Maybe an "independent-darling" or someone who's been lording over the WWE in his absence.
  • Make him upper-mid card for a while.

I personally like Cena and all the he as a person seems to stand for.  He works his goddamned nuts off, he seems genuine but that is being undermined by a tired gimmick (what is his gimmick now even?  I win?) and terrible writing.  The WWE run a risk of stagnating further by putting all their stock in one man.

 

Look at what we are fed: One man carrying the company.  McMahons (inc HHH) screwing people over.  Tired old gimmicks.  Aimless mid-carders.

Sure, we get some love for former Indie wrestlers.  But look at how Brian has basically been buried after SummerSlam.  Punk buried by a behemoth who is here solely for the paycheck once every 3 months.

 

Heck, I'm beginning to think even Heyman has got a little bit "part of the problem" these days...

That's a great idea. (Y) Unfortunately, we know how it's gonna be. WWE kept CM Punk off TV for a massive eight days when he beat Cena for the title, then two months this year after he lost to Undertaker. So imagine how long they'd keep Cena off TV for...

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
