Absolutely fucking based. Those crowd shots of people, children and grown men the same, crying because Cena lost is what wrestling is all about. Pure, real emotion. Gunther is the best wrestler in the world.

Kek, all over this board there's smarks saying that all the head is on Triple H and not Gunther. Fucking tards maybe need to realize that Triple H knows a little bit more about wrestling than they do. The exact right thing happened tonight.

They showed like 3 kids after Cena tapped and none of them were crying, it was only manchildren and sluts trying to fit in
Based Gunther making them seethe though
>>
>>19481425
Why aren't they more pissed that Cena betrayed the kids by giving up with a big grin on his face?
>>
Based. Only maladjusted assclowns who never matured past 16, and literal kids liked Cena. Watching him get KWAB'd by someone who can actually wrestle was great. THANK YOU GUNTHER!
>>
>>19481425
I only seethed because first I was expecting Cena to lose without tapping even though most rumors claimed he would.

Most of them are Cena children, if you were 5 when Cena debuted, you are fucking 30 now.

This heat is not going to last and the only reason people are booing Gunther is because Paul isn't there.

Honestly, this is the most logical ending and yet I'm still impressed at how effectively it worked the marks and anti-smarks.

Even better.

It's such a simple end, and yet it worked so well. Honestly, it's a little disappointing to see so many worked in this day and age.
>>
>>19482356
That would force them to acknowledge it was a mistake. If they keep the focus on "ur jus mad he lost!" then they don't have to contend with actual arguments about the importance of John Cena as a figurehead of hope amongst the ranks of dying children.
>>
>>19484549
go away heat isn't the result of being "worked". Dont use words you dont understand the meaning of.

Sure thing, pal. Go away... and see you on Monday.
>>
>>19484551
Damn, were you this fucking worked when Hogan turned heel years ago? That he taught all the dying children he visited to actually be a shitty person and side with bad guy outsiders?

>Gunther is going to get an amazing reaction
Great. I love Gunther and am really glad he was the one to retire Cena. Gunther's heat is separate to the heat that Triple H got as he was booed out of the building, had people chanting bullshit, you fucked up and AEW at him. Try to keep up.

I, a genuine WWE fan, am so upset with this booking that I will be taking my business to the very exciting alternative wrestling company called AEW. I would encourage all WWE fans, like myself, to do the same because we (WWE fans) are not happy with HHH.

Let's all give AEW and the brilliant Tony Khan (owner and booking genius) a chance!

- signed Real WWE fans
>>
>>19484737
You don't know what you're talking about. It's debatable if it even exists, but the idea is that "go away heat" is heat a talent gets where the fans simply refuse to even watch the talent anymore. They want them to go away, off their screen.
This doesn't even make sense to apply to Paul, unless you mean the fans will refuse to engage with anything he books. In which case, there's no way the company is being meaningfully hit by this.
>>
>>19484783
>It's debatable if it even exists

You're right. It doesn't exist.

>>19484874
You underestimate how many marks are here
>>
>>19484874
no. they just didnt want him to tap out because john's never give up shtick extends well past the bounds of pro wrestling.

I accept your concession.

>>19484967
Nobody is this much of a mark. You're just another AEW astroturf bitch.

I won't watch your little hangma'am Page.

>>19484993
What do you think "mark" means and why do you think it applies to people who think that John Cena is known as more than just a wrestler?
>>
>>19484993
Many are saying this
>>
>>19485001
I think people writing paragraphs online about how a face losing to a heel is the worst thing in the world are "marks."

Buried his ass. Buried 99 percent of the board.

And yet it only exists beyond pro wrestling because of pro wrestling. I know that will make your undersized brain hurt, but really think about it for a moment.
>>
>>19485303
But nobody's doing that?

>>19485324
>And yet it only exists beyond pro wrestling because of pro wrestling
That's entirely irrelevant. Why did you think this was a gotcha zinger of a line? lmao. Lots of things start in one place and then transcend that place.
>>
>>19485438
John Cena did not have a 10-15 year career as an Olympic athlete, telling people to never give up, only to enter professional wrestling, become a legend, and then give up in his final match.

You can pretending not to understand what's going on here, but you're not fooling anyone at all. Not even yourself. Le griefing, le trolling, le demoralization, none of it has any effect here or anywhere else.
>>
>>19485462
Again, it doesn't matter. Things transcend their origins all the fucking time. Take your own memespeak shit for example. "Le X" doesnt mean what it used to. "Redpill" doesnt mean what it used to. "Based" doesn't mean what it used to. Pepe doesn't mean what it used to. The origin of something is entirely irrelevant to the here and now.

>le
Grow up, you fucking child. You're an actual adult male, over the age of 30 and talking in "ironic memespeak". Stop humiliating yourself like that.
>>
>>19485475
You're so mad you won't even address the core of my argument, even though we both know you know exactly what my argument is. Instead you want to have a side argument about memetics and semantics. Shows just how disingenuous you are being.

John Cena is known worldwide because of wrestling, not because of doing Make a Wish work, which he likely never would have done if not for his wrestling career.
>>

You simply aren't equipped for this conversation. You just don't have the intellect required, which is crazy because it's fucking wrestling. It doesn't matter where you know John Cena from. All that matters is that there are unironically thousands of little children with terminal illnesses who watched the man who told them that nothing is ever worth giving up for, give up. And that is a bad thing. I should not have to explain this to you, you are a grown man.
>>
>>19482460
THANK YOU GUNTHER!
>>
>>19485629
Do you think Santa Claus visits all the sick little kids in the hospital? Not the fake Santa, the real Santa.

Anyone old enough to understand what pro wrestling is and be a John Cena fan is old enough to understand that wrestling is make believe. You're legitimately a stupid fucking idiot if you think these kids have no perspective whatsoever.

You realise you've just completely undermined your own argument, right? Those little kids ARENT old enough to understand it's make believe.. Those kids ARENT old enough to know it's a fake Santa. You fucking imbecile lmao. You genuine fucking retard. You are PROVING MY POINT. John Cena is a mythical figure to these children who do not know better because they are literal fucking children and that mythical figure just told them he and the hope and the never say die attitude are all fake, while those kids are on death's door.
>>
>>19485804
If they aren't old enough to understand it's make believe, then explain to me how they are old enough to have free reign of the remote to watch whatever they want, whenever they want, and their parents can't just deny them the opportunity to watch Cena vs Gunther

You should unironically be put down. For the sake of the gene pool. You're even too dumb to understand that it was a live event and that they couldn't have known ahead of time that John would tap. Your IQ has to be like, 75. No more than that.

Why do you keep humiliating yourself like this? You made a mistake on 4chan. It was stupid of you to act like letting kids watch TV when they're terminally ill was something akin to giving them heroin and something that either doesn't happen at all or shouldn't be happening. That's normal though, on account of you being an undersocialised freak. You just have no concept of reality outside of your bedroom. But when you've been educated about the reality, you should at least understand it.

My argument is that anyone old enough to be granted unrestricted access to TV/computers is likely old enough to understand that wrestling is fake, people only pretend it's real like Santa or the Easter Bunny.

Anyone too young to understand why Cena would quit will get over it quickly. Any kid who won't get over it, because they are sick and will die soon (and again: only among those who don't understand wrestling is fake), can simply not be shown the match, which in the US was only available on the Peacock streaming service.

This is performative and you are playing a character while calling other people undersocialized. I also am playing a character but I at least have some self-awareness.

>My argument is that anyone old enough to be granted unrestricted access to TV/computers is likely old enough to understand that wrestling is fake
And that makes you a retard. Because watching the biggest wrestling event in the past 20 years is not "unrestricted access". It's a completely normal thing for kids to experience.

You're at the point now where your argument is that the 0.00003% of the country, Make-a-Wish Kids, might be disappointed, therefore Cena shouldn't have done the best thing for the wrestling industry.
