Obi Wan: The Great Khali was our last hope
Yoda: No... there is another
(cue The Game music)
I swear, even tho Trips will come back and beat him clean, and come out to look like the biggest thing since sliced bread (#2), I will mark out like crazy when that music hits and he comes out against Cena

Well that's the thing though. Untill recently, nobody was wrestling every PPV, It was every other PPV. Last year, he wrestled 11 out of 16 PPVs and 2 weren't title matches (although he was champ for one of those). That is overkill for main event title matches to me. If this was the Hogan era where his matches were few and far between then a three year reign would be great but, he is on RAW every week and PPVs, ECW and Smackdown!. I don't see how you can squeeze three years out of that non-stop. I agree here. I love that the title isn't a ping pong ball anymore but, I just don't see a way to stretch a title reign out over a year, especially with the tri-brand PPVs and multiple PPVs a month. Well, I was kind of considering last year to be recent.

I would have not had a problem with Cena winning if it had been done like the Umaga feud, where Cena had to give absolutely everything he had, and barely squeaked by with a win. At least then, all that effort building up Khali wouldn't have been totally in vain. It was just that Khali absolutely destroyed Cena for the entire match, and Cena made him tap with absolutely no psychology behind it whatsoever. I would ask the ever present question "Who can beat Cena?", but I really can't muster up the interest at the moment to think of an answer. The Psychology was fine. The thing with this match, was that Cena "got lucky". When you have a painfull move, the whole match you're just looking to land it, weather it's 2 minutes or 30 minutes, what you're doing the entire match is trying to find a way to finish them off, you don't really win just because the match continued for a certain legth of time, it's like boxing. If you're HHH and you're working on the neck for one minute, but he leaves an opening for the pedigree, then you better go for the pedigree and end it right there, instead of just working on the neck for another ten minutes just for the sake of doing it. What happens in wrestling is that the matches are booked in a way so that certain things happen so that the match ends up being 20 minutes long, but that's not the wrestler's strategy. Cena got a lucky break against Khali, and quite franky, I think it's good storytelling in matches involving monsters. Khali just happened to go for the steps, and Cena dropkicked the steps, injuring Khali's leg, so it was over from there and it was the first time in the match that Khali was down, and prabably would have been the only time. So what do you do? Pick him back up so you can go for the FU? Work on the leg for 5 minutes? why? So you could put the STFU on him eventually?! He's already down! get him now! If he escapes, he's not softened up yet, so NOW you have to work on him some more, but that would be more of a systematic destruction, rather than getting lucky, and it keeps Khali looking strong unless you're a veteran fan. Also, the LEG was the reason Khali tapped out, the situation was sold that way by everyone onvolved. The same thing happened at Wrestlemania 10, when Bret Hart Beat Yokozuna. Yoko dominated the match had Bret beat, set him up for the bonzai, and then.........lost his balance and fell. Bret rolled out of the way, covered him,...1...2...3. No one complained. People felt that if that didn't happen, Yoko would have won. It helped him look strong. Trust me, I actually remember when I was a new fan, and If I was new at the time I saw this match, I would have still reguarded Khali as a strong force against Cena if there were to be a rematch, which I'm sure there will, which is why it was ended that way. Khali will beat Cena in a non title match to earn the right, and also confirm Cena's luckiness. Then, Cena will probably beat Khali a little more decisively.

I'll tell you I didn't actually think Cena would make Khali tap, but I find it funny he did
However I'm not going to come on and complain because I didn't buy the PPV thus I have no right and what I will say is can anyone really honestly say they saw Cena not winning?

Yep, as much as I wouldn't want either as Champ, Cena chasing the monster Khali for the title could have been gold. NO.No, No, and HELL no. Khali with any world title= death of title. The guy's good for a gimmick attraction, but I do NOT want him anywhere near a world title. I still don't like the fact that he beat Undertaker with a chop to the top of his skull. I mean seriously, Taker took so much worse over the years, and gets beat with a 'brain chop'?! Keep Khali as far away from world titles...hell ANY title- as possible. PERIOD.

I have in the past posted messages on this board about how we all turned on him after he got the belt. I am sorry for that, this guy sucks and I don't care about him or his gimick. When H does come back I will mark as well.
