Kofi should have ran out ahead of Cena to help, but then slipped on a banana peel and sold being unconscious the entire rest of the segment.

I don't know why people want run-ins all the time. I'd rather heels were allowed to do their dastardly deeds without a babyface saving the day. How would any heel ever get heat if every time they attempted something truly heelish - one or a group of faces ran to the rescue?
Don't understand the desire for it. If a heel gets their way and does something reprehensible then the storyline and character(s) are enhanced. If every time they attempt to the cavalry bursts out to stop them - nothing happens/advances.
From Hogan's multiple Earthquake splashes to Jake holding Elizabeth by the hair and slapping her - there are so many iconic moments in wrestling that never would have happened if all the time the babyfaces came to the resue
"Oh my god, he's about to....wait, here's Cena!"
"Don't tell me this son of a bitch is gonna...oh wait, Cena!"
"He's got a steel chair, he's....oh no, Cena again"
Moaning about a lack of sucky babyface 'saves' that ensures nothing seriously heat-worthy ever happens is incomprehensible IMO

I'd be mad if next week Ziggler, Bryan, Reigns, Ambrose, Rowan, Ryback, Swagger, and Orton if he's available aren't all pissed at Cena for what he did. Hell if I was Ziggler I'd want to kick Cena in his face. I'd love it if Cena's response to everyone was "If you didn't want The Authority back, why didn't you come down to help?"

Hell if I was Ziggler I'd want to kick Cena in his face. I'd want them to be pissed too, but then it just brings "Oh, so you'd LET them break Edge's neck and cripple him?" into play and it'd just make things weird. Well then you have 2 characters with valid points of view having a feud with some actual depth. "yes I let them, he won't be here next week, we will" "That's not the way we should be" "We tried playing fair, and it would have failed us" The other guy can get more and more heelish in the name of 'doing the right thing' Ziggler would be a great choice for that, the man who fought against the odds, never gave up, was outnumbered but won, then mr 'never give up' gives in to make it meaningless, he had to stop it.

It took Cena so long to get down there I thought Brock Lesnar was going to walk out with Cena draped across his shoulders like a freshly killed deer.

I want to know why it's apparently a-okay by Vince and the board for Cena to agree to bring them back only when faced with a hostage situation. And why they had their music and graphics queued up when they were supposed to never come back. Queing up now really isn't an issue. It's not like they have to actually put tapes or anything in... They have a playlist with all of the videos on them and started it... and they proved a few times they don't clear out hte cache (with the McGillicutty thing there and another time they played Hassan's music instead of Charlie Haas's) and even in Kayfabe there was always the out of bringing them back so why would they delete it? Sting's made less sense that he had music because it was music that he'd never used before. But their music and video being ready to go isn't really a valid argument.... them being their might... but the stipulation was specifically they couldn't do anything on the show they still held COO and Principal owner powers for the business end... so I guess they weren't specifically banned from the arena.

You'd think at least Zack Ryder might try to help his friend, he'd have instantly have eaten a finisher but he could have tried. Ummm, what good would any of the babyfaces had done anyway? Rollins would have killed Edge long before any of them made it to the ring. You clearly don't understand wrestling run-ins. Once the music of the person coming to the rescue starts playing the attack in the ring must come to a stop, I think it must be a rule Jack Tunney put in place.

Kofi Kingston used to run out to help and every time he got his ass kicked for his troubles.

Why would anyone want to help Cena? He's a terrible friend.

Pretty sure the music is actually activated by a microchip in the boot.

Nobody wanted to be the guy who caused Rollins to break Edge's neck.

So would Matt Hardy have saved him, or wait for him to die in a car accident?

I just wish they would say one line or two to cover things like this. Rollins could say something as simple as "And don't count on anyone coming down to help John, Brock is in the back making sure no guy gets any ideas!" and that would work for me.

My favourite was when Reigns, Cena and Ambrose were supposed to team together in a six man. Reigns and Cena are in the ring talking about how strong a bond the three of them shared and how great a team they'll be. Ambrose appears on the titantron from out in the parking lot to say that he agreed. Suddenly Orton, Rollins and Kane show up and just beat the shit out of him for like 10 minutes straight while we're all left to assume that this guy's supposed friends are still standing there like idiots watching on the screen.

I'm just pretending everybody was crammed into Vince's dressing room watching Backdoor Sluts 9 and gave zero shits about the ending of the show.
