Aside from Hogan in 2002, is this the worst "one last time" retirement run of all time?
>>19363259At least Cena isn't going to hell when he dies
>>19364828Yup. Cena is going to the ring of fire (super hell).
>>19363259worked smark
>>19363259It's almost certainly a fake retirement.
>>19363259Angle’sI non jokingly hope Cena does a final year in AEW just because whatever happens, they will undoubtedly give him a better retirement even with absolutely no media from his entire career library to use.
>>19363259Hogan's 2002 run was great
>>19365418He tapped out to Kurt Angle wearing a toupee and got hugged to death by Brock Lesnar
>>19366108Based Hulkster giving back to the business, knowing its time to step aside and put over new talent.
>>19363259The heel turn is what ruined it. That should have happened like a decade ago. People like face-Cena now, so they should have just given that to everyone. Face-Cena wanting to retire as champion (without the dumb bringing it home part) would have been much more compelling.
>>19364857I'd pop if this was a fake retirement. We desperately need part-timers who are over with the crowd to stack wrestlemania cards.
>>19365409I don't think AEW's roster would work well with him. They seem pretty territorial when forced to work with already established wrestlers who aren't part of an inner clique. That said, Tony would probably pay a hundred million for him.
Hogan had the GOAT match in his retirement run you dumb jeet
>>19366220AEW's literal head of talent relations trained Cena
>>19363259Sting had his last match with the bucks. It doesn't get worse than that
>>19366988Yeah, but that doesn't translate into the boys in the back not chimping out. I think Cena coming in and claiming the top spot for a year would cause all of AEW's cliques to turn against him.
>>19363259Tanahashi's current run which is supposed to be his last, is kind of depressing tbdesu
>>19364837This is like some Juggalo mythos shit.
>>19366220Definitely, but maybe a change of scenery and his age would make him able to just kind of go with it.
>>19363259Yes.
>>19363259yes
>>19366210i'm happy they at least tried a heel turn. it's absolutely true that he should have had a heel run during his prime years but i like that they at least gave it a shot. the idea would have worked, it's just that triple H is a retard and dwayne actively tried to tank the product. and travis scott, of course. but at least they took the risk and we saw what heel cena would look like.
