''John Cena, you just don't get any better in the ring, but unfortunately he's sidelined with an injury,'' said Austin. ``Ken Kennedy was doing well for a while, but I think he lost track a little bit. I think it was too many people giving him too much advice. He needs to go back to what he was doing, and I think he's going to get there.

``MVP is still a physically good mechanic in the ring. I like the guy, but he needs to think about the entertainment part of it. Randy Orton is really good in the ring. I'd like to see him a little bit better on the microphone still and have an extra gear in his work. He would be one of the top guys.

``Umaga has really impressed me. All of the Samoan guys have been really great workers in the ring. He is no different. He's a good big man, and I wish they would keep pushing him and using him even more than they are.''

Recently, Austin confronted upstart Santino Marella whose character was constantly berating Austin and his starring role in the WWE Films release The Condemned.

''I knew who he was, but I really didn't take notice of him,'' said Austin. ``He's a great talker. He got better in the six or seven weeks, and I think he's very entertaining. I enjoy doing business with him. I think he has a really bright future ahead of him

Wait, Austin thinks MVP needs to consider the entertainment part of his gimmick more?

Shwah?

[anticonscience]

don't get better in the ring than John Cena? Really? Seriously?

[Hiroshi Hase]

MVP seems like he's got the entertainment part downpat.

Agreed on Orton, as he's all types of boring to me once he picks up a mic.

I definitely agree with that.

Yeah, because Austin wouldn't know anything about wrestling

I still say the guy needs to work on his talking.

Shelton is cutting better promos than him.

[Desi]

MVP comes off as forced on the mic, but I have no complaints from him in the wrestling department.

H's entitled to his opinion... I personally think Cena is awesome.

[CrazySting]

Kennedy is following too many people's advice?

person 1: Hey Ken do steriods! Oh, and use an internet company so it's easy to trace back to you!

person 2: now go on tv, deny it and claim you have a strong anti steroids stance!

person 3: Even when caught still deny it!

I'd disagree, but I've not heard any of Shelton's recent promo-work as I don't watch ECW.

Agreed. He had some terrific matches over the last year

Not bad, I must say. Still preferred MVP's though.

Austin is a moron

Cena is quite the awesome. I don't think his promos are laugh-out-loud, but I think they're the kind that make you smile and don't really bore you.

[Jiren]

Regarding Cena

His talent isn't the problem (He great in the ring), his booking is

I'd agree with that, I don't think he was ready for being a top guy when he got pushed there in 2005, but I really enjoy his ring work now. I know his style in there is going to turn some people off, but I think when he's given time in a PPV match that he does a really good job.

His shorter TV matches don't really stand out that much, but he's really impressed me with stuff like being guide a greenhorn like Lashley to what was actually a pretty good PPV main event match. I think he's more than held his own when in there against the top level workers, and has been able to make some guys who aren't very good workers look a lot better than they are.

Now his booking and some of the promo material they give him, that's an entirely different story for me.

I do. His work reminds me a lot of Cena's. He seems to work safe, I'll give him that, but at the expense of looking sloppy and not real impactful. He also seems to get blown up halfway through his matches, and sometimes, towards the end, it's almost like the guy's going to pass out. Some people here say MVP is the best talent in the E right now, I say he's the most overrated.

Shelton is a better worker and is getting way, way better on the stick. I would be very happy to see Shelton really realize his full potential as both a solid talker and a great ring technician. He could be an amazing talent. I really hope he redeems himself in his ECW run.

However, MVP, even though he still sounds like Mushmouth to me, made much more of his push than Shelton did. Not even I can argue that.

And your a Wrestler that knows the job? Ya didn't think so. Go sit down, and speak when you can back up up your statement as you have added nothing to this thread.
