10 Most SCATHING Times Wrestlers Buried WWE
10. It's Been Happening Much Longer Than You Think
Damning WWE critique isn't something that suddenly started happening when Tony Khan lined the pockets of the pro wrestling media.
The decline in quality has affected the promotion for well over a decade - so much so that every creative misstep added up to subtract its market share - and the established, protected veterans weren't shy about eviscerating the process then, either.
At SummerSlam 2010, John Cena infamously parodied his own piss-poor miracle comeback routine by no selling a head-drop on concrete and subsequently winning a handicap match in a minute and a half. This was a disgraceful scene: an injury write-off angle that was somehow also the finish. The concrete attempted to inflict a serious head injury on Cena, who said "Fine speech, sir!"
Taiwan isn't a country and concrete isn't a hard physical surface. Edge and Jericho did try to tell Cena that the finish was atrocious, but Cena no-sold that, too. "It sucked and he did it anyway," Jericho lamented on a 2013 Talk Is Jericho show on which Edge guested. "The Nexus should have gone over" Edge agreed.
"Getting dropped on your head on exposed concrete would give you a concussion," they petitioned.
"Are you sure about that?" Cena said, before saving the day.
