Sad sad day

Well – I watched with anticipation to see the Champ return – Yup – John Cena beat Triple H at Wrestle Mania 22, retaining his title. As he stepped out into the ring at Chicago to be welcomed by his fans roaring at his success, he asked them to turn his music off so he could bask in the chants and screams of his adoring fans praising him.

Okay – he deserved that. Maybe.

Then he went a little overboard. He started with a speech in which he started talking about what it means to be the champ, and basically that it means that you have to step up to each challenge and represent the best of the WWE at all times, blah blah, and that you may not always feel your best but you have to be ready etc. Then as he was still speaking, Triple H’s logo and music came on, and he strutted down into the ring with the ring with John Cena.

Then followed a lot of the usual posturing with Triple H saying that he wanted a rematch, and that the only reason Cena beat him was because he made the same mistake everyone else was beaten by him - that he had underestimated him, but that he wanted a rematch… and then something even more exciting happened. Edge and Lita also came down. The Rated R Superstar started shooting his mouth off at Hunter – saying that if anyone should get a chance at the title it was him (Edge) and not the self-promoting Triple H. In fact, he went so far as to say that he should get to the back of the line and let the next guy step up and take the shot. Of course – Lita, whose boobs never quite seem to stay in her tops (no matter what she wears), was just standing there supporting her man, nodding sagely, and looking for another opportunity to shake her pretty little pony tail in agreement. But then, the pawpaw really hit the fan.

Triple H and Edge decided to team up against Cena in a handicap match for the title. Now a smart man would have run away, but I guess Cena is either not too bright, or just too damn proud, because instead of walking away, he took the match. And consequently, he lost. Bye bye title, and bye bye WWE belt.

I guess he can get it back, but knowing Vince McMahon, that aint gonna happen any time soon. I think that both HBK and Cena are in the dog box now, and are going to learn the real meaning of pain.

And you were my hero. Why did you go and do such a stupid thing? In the words of the commentators – this was a cheque your body could not cash.

I guess the Champ is no longer here, and this time, we really can’t see you.
