Yikes, well, thats no good. Not good at all. No Daniel Bryan, no Cesaro, no Sting, no Randy Orton, and now, no John Cena until after WrestleMania. The rumor was that he was going to take on The Undertaker, which is probably the biggest match we havent seen in the past decade. That looks highly unlikely now. And if we wait another year, Taker will be 52. Its a shame, as from an in-ring standpoint, 2015 was Cenas best year. While hes still lame, as lame as can be, when hes in preacher mode, Raw is actually less interesting when hes gone. Now that hes on the sidelines, no one can stop the rise of Diet Cena, known as Roman Reigns. Weve seen Cena come back in superhuman time in the past from injuries, but hes closing in on 40. His streak of 12 straight Manias looks to have ended, and Vinces dream of selling 100,000 tickets for the show just got that much harder.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
