Sorry, Cena had to lose to put over the young heel.

Also on an unrelated note, I always thought the Emperor should've killed Luke and Vader just goes back to being his pathetic henchman. Lucas doesn't know match psychology

Why would he retire if he was still Mr. Never Give Up? He can't be that guy so it's over.

Retards think they just watched a movie with a beginning middle and end. Wrestling keeps going, it doesn't have an end. You put up with an outcome you don't like now for one you do like in the future. This isn't the final instalment of Star Wars, there is no final instalment. Give the rub to Gunther, he gets heat, create a big moment for the next babyface to dethrone him, there's your happy ending.

If you're really so invested in this particular ending to where you're going to say "I don't care about the future" then your threat to stop watching is hollow. You were going to stop watching anyway, clearly, if you were only sticking around for Cena, whether he wins or loses.

Cena’s mantra, "Never Give Up," has become synonymous with resilience and determination, embodying the American spirit. This slogan, often woven into children’s films and merchandise, instills the idea of unwavering courage. However, his submission in this climactic match starkly contrasts this ethos. It highlights the fine line between heroism and vulnerability.

Interestingly, this act of surrender mirrors a broader societal trend where individuals are increasingly encouraged to rethink the conception of failure and success. In a culture fixated on self-improvement and indefatigability, Cena’s conceding can be seen as a refreshing acknowledgment of human limitations—albeit wrapped in the theatrical dramatics of wrestling.

The landscape of celebrity culture in America is notoriously convoluted. Celebrities are venerated but also subjected to intense scrutiny. Cena epitomizes this paradox.

This brings us to Cena's infamous China controversy. Cena faced backlash for making politically charged statements and then quickly backpedaling, ultimately issuing a public apology when a promotional event for his film was met with Chinese censors. This move showcased the absurdity of how celebrities are often caught in a web of expectations, balancing their fame against politically sensitive topics.

When viewed through the lens of his submission to Gunther, this contradiction becomes comical. A man famed for his resolve humbly tapping out invokes imagery of not only personal defeat but also the fragility of celebrity status. In America, where political statements can make or break a career, Cena's larger-than-life persona momentarily crumbled under the weight of his own contradictions. Therein lies a reflection of modern America: intense pressure to uphold ideals, yet the simultaneous acknowledgment of our shared humanity and fallibility.

No you don't get it anon. No one gets it.
Cena was smiling and tapped out because he realizes what's actually poetic about the moment is that HIS (John Cena's) time is UP and Gunther's time is now.

Think he's going for the Obi-wan drops his guard thing being a catalyst to Luke's hero's journey, but the difference is Luke wasn't in there to react to it.
Well I guess R-truths gonna have to tap out Gunther now.
>>
>>19484141
It was more like Kylo Ren killing Han Solo. Luke losing his final battle to Vader would be like Cena losing last night to Ric Flair
>>
>>19484141
Yes. If Star Wars were a TV series on a continuous run, and Mark Hamill had to leave the show, you would kill off his character and give the rub to a villain. As it happens Star Wars was not that but a trilogy of 3 movies with a definitive end.
>>
>>19482907
It is like poetry it rhymes
>>
>>19484260
NOT WITH A GUN YOU FUCKING TWAT
>>
>>19484277
You introduced the gun during your crybaby tantrum. Gunther defeated Cena with a normal submission, there was nothing crazy about it. Vader killing Luke with a lightsaber is the appropriate equivalence.
>>
>>19484228
AND THOSE MOVIES SUCKED YOU DOLT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT
>>
>>19484277
So now you need to justify your equivocation of Gunther making Cena tap with Vader doming Luke with a glock. They're the same thing in your mind, sure, because you find both outcomes silly. I find one silly but not the other. So now we're back to square one with "the ending is bad because I don't like it".
>>
>>19484118
Wrestling also isn't a 2-6 hour movie. Its a continuous story told through decades. There are people who grew up with Cena, saw him influence the industry, have a deep connection with the character. We've gotten to see that happen in real time. To have all that time just come to "tap out" is stupid and insulting.
>Not everything is a happy ending
Not every thing is nihilistic slop either and it's not a mark of intelligence or maturity to say it is.
>>
>>19484332
The movies suck because they didn't need to exist to begin with. The Star Wars trilogy was a complete story with a definitive ending and nowhere left to go. Are you saying you wanted Cena's retirement to be the definitive ending of wrestling where he wins and then there's no more wrestling?
>>
>>19484347
If you're a zoomer who is invested enough in Cena's character to the extent that you need him to have a happy ending, then your shit taste does not deserve the respect of being catered to. You don't know what good wrestling is because you're never seen it. You clapped and cheered while wrestling died a slow death because you were too young to know any better, but you really ought to have gained some sense as an adult.
>>
>>19484141
Oh my science!
>>
>>19484362
There will still be no more wrestling because Gunther is a jobber, like Kylo Ren.
>>
If you want to make a Star wars analogy, a far more appropriate one would be to Harrison Ford wanting Han to die in ESB, or one of the directors (kershner, I think) who said that Luke or Leia should've died in ROTJ to raise the stakes and introduce a loss for the good guys
Lucas wisely realized that the story he was telling was a fairy tale and it didnt need some mature grimdark ending.

People get so bogged down by these autistic little rules that they make up and they can't realize that sometimes it's ok to give the audience what they want.

>>19484338
No we are back to "why the fuck did the guy whos gimmick is not giving up give up"

why exactly is cena retiring on a saturday night main event
>>
>>19484141
>le hecking stars war chungus
>>
>>19484347
Cena won multiple times. Now's time for him to lose. he's not the main character any more and we're moving past him.
>>
>>19484798
He's also lost plenty of times. I think the last match of a man who's given his life (and dignity in some cases) to the industry deserves a little bit more respect.
>>
>>19484832
The industry has given him far more than he has given back.
>>
>>19484260
>Yes. If Star Wars were a TV series on a continuous run, and Mark Hamill had to leave the show, you would kill off his character and give the rub to a villain
lol if they killed off luke and tried to make some boring faggot the new main character everyone would just stop watching. gunther is basically rey or kylo ren.
