This match was the most embarrassed I've ever been watching wrestling.I know wrestling has pulled back the curtain a long time ago, but these two made zero attempt to actually pretend they had a match where either man was trying to win. It was a self indulgent, self fellating match where these two just tried to get cheap pops the crowd and veterans in the industry. No story, no psychology, no logic, zero substance It made me feel like those subhumans that watch Marvel movies just to soiface at the cameos. John Cena is one of the biggest cancers to the wrestling industry, be it during his prime making the product unwatchable with his corny ass or his later self indulgent runs where he would have these terrible finisher spam, pop the smarks matches
I have admittedly been out on WWE since SummerSlam, outside of checking to see what most of the women of the company were up to. They’re really the only thing I care about but I made sure to, for the sake of this list, watch any matches that were getting major acclaim. This was one of them and I loved the AJ Styles/John Cena series in 2016 and 2017. Of course, that was a long time ago and neither man is exactly in their prime anymore. However, for 27:12, they went out and had one of their better outings together. The main thing we’ll all remember here is how this was a tribute to their old rivals. The signature moves of Chris Jericho, Bray Wyatt, Christopher Daniels, Rusev, and so many others were hit. I know some people have said this was more of a tribute than a great match and while I understand that criticism, I do appreciate that this felt like looking at the histories of two of the all-time greats. That was special and something that’s hard to replicate. As a fan of both guys for decades, this meant something to me. Cena ultimately won in what was the best match of his final year. Two legends doing legendary things. [****½]
