How awesome was Cena in absolutely destroying Bryan on the mic? I love D-Bry and still hope that he wins, but Cena ripped him apart and the crowd knew it and reacted more or less accordingly. Discuss.

I didn't think it was awesome on either end this week or really last week either.
These dumb promos are bringing this down to a screeching halt for me. Shut up and fight already.

Cena absolutely destroyed Bryan and reassured me that I still want Cena to win at SummerSlam

The part where Cena just said I've wrestled legends and beat them all should pretty much end all the silly "he's a bad wrestler" promos.
'Limited skills and ablilities', and he still kicks everyones ass.

The only person that seems to get the best of Cena promo-wise has been Punk. I want a heel Cena vs a face Punk for the WWE Title at Mania 30.
Screw Brock, Screw Rock. Screw Taker. Screw Austin. And f*** HHH.

I've wanted Cena to win from the start but the promo sealed it for me.
"I'm a real wrestler! Weee!" That's....great. Happy for you.

Meh, once he brought up AMERICA and MAKE A WISH for the 800 billionth time, it didn't separate himself from the usual shit he throws out there.

Really...Daniel Bryan last past was freaking amazing,i would say he did better.But both man were great this week.
I'm happy Bryan went for more than "i'm a real wrestler"

Bryan had a weak strawman point, which Cena easily refuted in full-on preacher mode. Of course John Cena is a wrestler, it was a total softball. His delivery was amazing, the content was the same thing as every other time someone questions him. It's so old now.

Why can't anyone just say
"Hey Cena, I do make a wish too, jackass"

When is the last time Cena had anything remotely original to say? Bryan is just as bad. I seriously thought this feud was going to go in a different direction. Instead it's more of Cena trying to tell everyone what a great dude he is, and Bryan rehashing the same stupid shit that didn't apply to Cena after 2006. I hate, HATE, how they've killed my interest in this match. It's so disappointing.

Whether one liked the content or not it's hard to argue with Cena taking a crowd that was rabid for Bryan early in the show and quieting them down a good bit. It was really interesting to see.

Cena bringing up the Make a Wish kid felt a lil exploitative. I know that's not what he was going for, but it veered into a lil distasteful for me.

I don't know why it never bugged me so much until tonight but it did. It seems like now every time he's getting booed in one of these big programs his go to is, "no guys, no. See, I do Make-A-Wish".

This feud has completely fallen apart for me. I still feel like the central conflict is Bryan vs Vince (really HHH vs Vince over the issue of Daniel Bryan, but Bryan is the closest link to a real conflict). Vince isn't in the match and Cena is and he's not aligned with Vince. What Cena and Bryan are squabbling about is utter minutia. The match just seems like filler that's going to happen until Vince or someone aligned by Vince comes down and the story develops from there. I hate that kind of main event.

It wasn't anything new from Cena, no, but that was what he needed to say last week. Instead of clumsily trying to stick up for the WWE, tonight he focused on defending himself, which he did with gusto.
Although I don't think the writers mean for Bryan to come off badly- it seems like they want Bryan to just argue his strengths, which is of course his technical skill. The problem here is that neither guy is saying anything really substantial, but Cena's delivery on the mic is just so far ahead of Bryan's that when they're given obvious points, of course he's gonna come off way better.

When Bryan talked about how much the title show meant to him, I thought he was going to attack Cena for losing it l0 times and not really caring. Instead he went into the "wrestler" thing which I guess creative thinks is controversial?
Cena's veins sure did emerge, but I don't know that he said anything new.

I thought what they were saying was pretty blah, but it was still compelling. Things felt pretty genuine, so they did manage to suck me in. I think Bryan's interesting on the mic, sometimes he's awesome but only when he's yelling at the top of his lungs. He needs to learn how to make his point in other ways. But when you're given the task of convincingly making the point that John Cena isn't a real wrestler, you're just not going to succeed.

It feels like they've added this "I don't respect you, you're not a real wrestler" shit to give Cena "something to prove" on Sunday. Which is stupid, the dude's proven himself years ago, and I wish this was just 2 great wrestlers going out and wrestling.
Having said that, Cena did do a great job on the mic tonight.

They didn't really cover any new ground, but it was executed extremely well. Cena went on a bit too long, but maybe that's for the best since he came off as being kinda condescending and insufferable after a while even if he was making valid points.
This is a solid feud, might even call it classic.
