1. John Cena Was Right
In my mind, this is the number one reason why Randy Orton should have been fired years ago. John Cena called Orton a selfish underachiever on Monday night. Not an underachiever in the sense that he doesn't have a long list of championship titles, but in the sense that he never bothered working to his potential to get those titles. They were all given to him, not earned. It's an expected part of pro wrestling that guys are going to trash talk each other leading up to a match. They will inject doses of reality to heighten the belief that their anger is REAL. Remember when Shawn Michaels started using Bret Hart's family as a way to get heat in his promos? They had every fan believing that the hate between them was real (and to a certain extent, it was, which made it even easier to create that dramatic tension). Did you feel the tension on Monday Night Raw? Did it not seem pretty sincere on John Cena's part, when he said that Orton was undeserving? John Cena was able to use reality all those years of behavioural problems swept under the rug to get a rise out of Orton and engage the fans. Have they finally discovered a way to channel Orton's missteps into Pay-Per-View buys? WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE TO? I have a lot of questions: Who will emerge victorious this Sunday? The guy who says he's worked for it, and earned it... or the guy to whom it's allegedly been given? And why is the latter even in this position to begin with?
