Why was AEW able to give Sting a universally acclaimed retirement run, but WWE has Cena’s retirement tour universally despised and regarded as a letdown?

AEW is an echo chamber of terminally online trannys so any praise can be taken with a grain of salt because nobody in the real world watches it or has any idea it exists

if all 5 matches left are generational bangers, like lets say:
1) aj vs cena final time
2) edge (aka Corner in aew) vs cena (if tony khan allows)
3) Gunter vs cena
4) rock vs cena
5) dom mysterio vs cena (mania)

and im talking all 5 are PERFECT…
does that even make up for how lackluster the rest has been?

>uninspired title run that just played the hits instead of trying to elevate talent
>heel turn dropped two days before his Summerslam match
>title reign essentially meaningless aside from giving Cawdy another title reign
>no stars elevated during most high profile moment of retirement tour
>panic after realizing Cena’s only got five more dates
>”w-we got AJ! And Dom!”
Triple H fucked up the easiest run he could’ve had

I dont remember anything about Sting's retirement other than his last match against the bucks. Cena's retirement had some high highs and low lows and a bunch of shit i will always remember for good or for bad.

Stings last match was terrible especially with Darby going into the business for himself

Other than the heel turn and the WM main event being awful, his retirement run was actually better than i expected and i dont give a shit if the never satisfied smarks are complaining like they do every day that ends with y. His last 3 years were full of awful matches, we got two of his best of all time this year.

this. theyre panicking at the end, knowing they wasted 3 months on R truth, 1 month on Logan Paul, and 1 month for a 7 minute brock lesnar squash match.

Cena is busy filling movies. He himself said he didn't want to retire and it wasn't his choice. He isn't putting any effort into it because he doesn't want to hang up the boots. They are forcing him to retire because they want to stop paying him.

WWE is defined by apathy

Brock doesnt care clearly (he left early and demanded to go first so he could leave sloppapalooza ASAP)

Triple H doesnt care

Cena doesnt care, hes made in hollywood already

Rock doesnt care, he fucked off and dropped the major angle with cena randomly

Travis scott doesnt care, he quit training after 2 weeks

nobody cares. its funny, e drones say nobody cares about aew…truth is at least aew talent cares. WWE has “talent” who dont give a shit anyway

They have main event talent that does care, they just prefer to put titles and accolades on the ones that don't.
