I feel like John Cena should un-retire and beat Gunther at WrestleMania 42 to leave on a high note instead of jobbing to a guy who hasn't really gained any momentum from retiring Cena, let alone AJ Styles at the Rumble.

Why the hell was it on a meme show like Saturday Night's Main Event and not Wrestlemania?

Dude ruined wrestling for decades so it’s only fitting his retirement run was a massive flop. If anything Gunther should’ve squashed him.

No, Cena is too autistic to go back on his word.

>>19755956
>go back on his word
Didnt he get engaged to Nikki and then called it off

>>19755953
This. Cena has never given a shit about wrestling so it's a perfect end that he openly admitted "they told me to do all these things and I just did them because I don't care" and then gave up.

Also everyone should go out on a loss.

That's not really the problem here, Cena is a fucking mountain in wrestling, where do you go after conquering it? The only way is down. Think of Shawn Michaels, Flair chose to retire against Shawn, Shawn went on to have a great match vs Carder in WM25 and just knew it was over, there was nowhere else to go, so he retired the next year.

You don't stick around for 20 years if you hate wrestling

>>19755956
Literally the whole match was "Never give up", "but it's also OK to just tap out kid"

>>19756006
you do if it turns you into a multi millionaire with connections to whatever the fuck you want out of life

>>19756031
He would've gotten that after like 5 years
He's a good looking guy with a ton of charisma
Could've easily pivoted a lot earlier into acting

Anon, you know the G1 is every summer
>and it begins in Trumpistan this year too

and selling oneself to banks and tinseltown tend to erode one's word if it even had weight in the first place

I have that "feeling," because the finish tarnished the very career that was being celebrated that night. But Cena has gone on record stating that he would be done for good after that SNME. I do think Cena is both surprised and disappointed with the mixed reaction to the finish, and this is why he went on Cody's podcast to defend it. His idea that fans ought to interpret his tap-out in his retirement match as an analogy to major characters in dramatic movies and TV shows "going peacefully" into the afterlife makes no sense at all. CM Punk thought it was "beautiful," and a bunch of commentators online echoed this, but there can be no doubt that Cena has read enough sensible criticism of the decision to second-guess it by now. Mr. 'Never Give Up' struggled against Gunther for twenty minutes with the clear intention of achieving a goal of winning his last match. You don't go from slamming an opponent through a table in a contest you're trying to win to:
>"Okay it might seem like I'm giving up the fight in this a wrestling match I've been trying to win but viewers should see me as Jack Shephard smiling before he dies in the final scene of 'Lost.'
I'm convinced that we can expect Cena to shit on his own retirement match during his HOF induction speech. The number of people who will continue to try to defend the "going peacefully" nonsense is already dwindling.

coming back to have another match with Gunther would be retarded

>>19755922
He's done, his body is fucked up and you can see it by the way he walks around

>>19755964
Didn't she call it off because she wanted kids and he doesn't?

>>19755987
he retired because he was even more washed than Flair lol
