>>19491892You faggots are so short-sighted: the event was already tainted before it even happened. With all the other botches regarding Cena's retirement, the obvious way to book this was to have Cena win. Why not give the fans something after you fucked up so much of the Cena content already?
That's why people were booing - it's a long buildup to this, and it was like hitting the release value on all the frustration in the crowd.
But if you want specifics about how this entire thing should have been booked, it all goes back to the heel turn:
>Rock continues to show up, now with Cena on his side>Cena has new heel apparel, which would have sold like hotcakes after his retirement>Cena's motivation is simply that rock offered him the easiest way to the belt with the little time he has left, his perspective change from the fallout of RR, etc. (get rid of all the crowd and fan bullshit)>As the fued between Cody, Cena/Rock escalates, Cena becomes more hesitant as Rock ramps shit up in order to get Cena the belt>Cena turns on Rock, restoring him to baby-face>Cena wins over Cody clean, with a Rock run it at the end>Set up retirement match between Cena and Rock, no need to have the belt at stake>Win or lose, fans would be salivating for the match and invested in the outcomeThis was the most obvious way to write it. You only needed three people on board to get it done. And it would have drawn hella dimes; I don't give a shit what the smarks think. People would been kissing HHH feet if it played out like that.
Instead we just got some little 'tournament' because John needs a final match, right? And it's against the fearsome Gunther, who lost to Jey and 'retired' the geriatric Goldberg who was such a legend that his goodbye speech got cut off after 15 seconds. So now it's Cena vs Gunther, A guy who has no story or history with Cena, other than we won the little tournament. Riveting.
So you're left with a crowd that is just paying to see Cena win.
