With Triple H too busy trying to ritualistically sacrifice Daniel Bryan for the next couple of weeks, Michael Cole does his weekly sitdown interview with John Cena instead about his WrestleMania match with Bray Wyatt.
Found it quite fascinating myself.

Darn, been really wanting to see Hunter break down even more with Cole, but it's nice they're using this to hype up one of the other matches.
Seriously, they need to keep doing these regardless of when the Authority angle ends.

These are good. If it's going to be the case that a lot of the story stuff progresses on these online forums and Raw is mostly a wrestling show, that could potentially work.

Still not buying into the match.

I do like the idea of having this be used for multiple storylines instead of simply interviewing Triple H constantly.
Though obviously some characters wouldn't make any sense.

This should be a weekly segment on the WWE Raw/Smackdown pre-shows and not relegated to dot com.

Really agree. These straight down the line interviews from Cole have been consistently good and occasionally great, they really need to be highlighted more.

I don't know if I'd stick them on a pre or post show...
I kinda like the mid-weekish non show quality of them.
Maybe they could make a kayfabe interview network show?
shouldn't be too hard to stretch that to 15 minutes.

If HHH really is directly responsible for these interview segments as part of his "back to NWA/oldschool style" movement it's gonna be a bit harder to keep on hating the guy. But I'm still gonna hate him.

LOL. They have this serious interview setting and John Cena looks like a total goof. That outfit... I hope they pay him tons of money to dress like that alone because no sane man in their 30's would willingly wear that shit without getting something for it.

This is one of the strongest promos I've seen in a long time. Really sold that Wyatt vs. Cena isn't a thrown together match, put over Bray, put over the match's seriousness and was entertaining to boot. I wish they'd show these on Raw instead of Fandango vs. Santino 25.
These interviews are always more compelling than the live interviews because they aren't pausing for reactions every 2 seconds.

I wonder if they have ever thought of putting these interviews in a slot on the show for the broadcast version and giving the live audience a wrestling match. I think it would work well for TV.

They could do the Kiss Cam thing, or just screen to the live audience and have Michael Cole introduce it.

They’ll probably save it for their inevitable Extreme Rules rematch but I’d really like to see this be a last man standing match.
As the match goes on they could play it off like Bray almost WANTS Cena to do something really extreme to keep him down (think when he had to almost choke Umaga to death at RR 07) so that afterwards he can claim he’s won by unleashing the monster inside of Cena or something. It would make sense with all the Bray Wyatt doesn’t care about winning or losing matches talk they’ve been doing over the past few weeks.

No there won't. It'll just be pouting and booing. Like always.

He gets free advertising for something he gets like 7% of the sales of. I'd wear a shirt that said "I Molest Children" if I was an idol to small children and on TV twice a week, and got a cut of the profits.
