AJ thinks WWE is giving him a good retirement kek
>>19621906Cena's retirement run is 100% his fault because he has adopted this full on corporate persona where he never ever counteracts what he is told to and always does his best to spin the narrative into something about being grateful for the opportunity or whatever the fuck else he's been taught during therapy sessions in hollywood. He wasn't always like that, even during the peak of SuperCena in 2010, because it's been well documented that he was one of the few who used to outright nix angles he wasn't liking.I think everybody else will get a pretty good retirement. Rey, Randy, AJ, maybe even Nakamura if he sticks around.
>>19621906your still mad about AJ shitting on AEW? let it go
Triple Paul is legitimately incapable of booking a good retirement for anyone. He's gonna ask Grok to do it for him.
>>19621906what's with the obsession with retirement runs all of a sudden? who gives a shit? do the job and fuck off.
>>19621924so what's the excuse for the wet fart that was the goldberg retirement? or, rather, what about current booking makes you think WWE won't fuck up any of the rest of those retirement runs if/when they happen?
>soo uhh.. how does saturday nights main event sound? i'm thinkin gunther and it ends in a headlock>it's uhhh the best we can do
>>19621942because it makes more money to advertise a retirement tour these days than to just quietly job your way out of the biz
>>19621942Paul copying Tiny.
>>19621950I think Pauletty's (and co., it'd be silly to think it's all up to him) main philosophy is to play it very safe and try to maximize the pandering potential he could get out of his last remaining stars, which includes giving the fans a telegraphed safe sendoff to those notable names. He would never dare do something as far out as booking Baron Corbin to retire a returning Kurt Angle at mania. He's dull, he doesn't take many risks. The Cena run exemplifies this with all the flip flopping turns and rematches and callbacks and whatever. Gunther getting the rub fits right in with this theory because he's the sort of already made man that would deliver a very safe solid heel matchup. The Goldberg match was probably hastened because they don't like him too much backstage and he's already shat it up on his last few matches.
>>19621906No he's just not a mark like sting and thinks anyone gives a shit about his retirement
>>19622172that's a fair take but i don't think it lends any weight to the idea that any of the potential retirement runs going forward will be any better
>>19621906He doesn't care, he simply wants to retire in WWE and that's it.
