I'm starting to rethink the whole "no characters like Hogan" bit anymore. Last nights main event on Raw, was fucking shameful. The match itself was actually pretty good, especially the way Jericho managed to flip out of the FU.....sorry, attitude adjuster, but the way it was commentated on, and the end of the match was pure Hogan no sell!
First off, Cena blindsides Jericho, and thats totally ignored, then a few minutes later, after recieving a beating in the corner, Jericho gets up and hits Cena as he walks away, which according to Michael Cole is "Typical Jericho". This means we can totally accept a face doing heelish things, but a heel doing them is dirty (sounds a lot like Hogan).
Cena then fucks up a lionsault for Chris, as he decides to move while Jericho is in the air, making him land on him wrong (Cena is actually on his side, and Jericho hits his stomach into Cenas shoulder). The move was then acted out as if it was a clean hit, so I dont think he was sposed to be trying to avoid it, and was certainly not in the wrong place to start.
Then, at the end of the match, Cena is locked into the walls of Jericho for ages, but refuses to tap! Of course he then reverses it into an STF causing Jericho to tap in about 5 seconds of it being applied.
For once they have been playing Jericho as a non-cowardly heel, but everytime he is put in the ring with Cena, he is made to look weak.
His matches with HBK and Batista etc, have been solid, and never made him look weak, but this is typical of WWE and Cena, that they have to make others look weak and him look like Superman.
Cena should be a heel or a tweener as his character shows so many heel traits, but they are totally overlooked, just so they can sell him to kids.
