7 Things We Learned From Paul Heyman On The Lost Episode Of The Steve Austin Show
3. Thoughts On The SummerSlam Match
Austin begins by saying that "a lot of people were upset that John Cena took the shellacking he did at the hands of the conqueror, Brock Lesnar." Well, I'm not sure who Stone Cold has been polling because the consensus on that match was that a top guy like Cena--whose overcome infinite obstacles in his path to the point that he's turned into a walking meme--taking a beating like that was new, exciting and great for business and spiking interest. And ultimately it didn't hurt Cena anyway, because nothing ever does. Austin asks Paul if he was victimized too much. "No." Heyman points out how much adversity Cena has overcome in his career, but that he's never been victimized or conquered. "Brock Lesnar made John Cena his prison b*tch." He compares the storyline to The Dark Knight Rises with Lesnar in the role of Bane and being excited to see how Cena recovers from the beating. He points out that those who hate the WWE poster boy got to see the humanization of the character, while those who love him didn't lose any faith in him.
Brad Hamilton is a writer, musician and marketer/social media manager from Atlanta, Georgia. He's an undefeated freestyle rap battle champion, spends too little time being productive and defines himself as the literary version of Brock Lesnar.
