Cena: "Time to take a gamble"

[taker1990]

He's gonna record the Gambler as a tribute to Kenny Rogers retirement.

All that daniel Bryan stuff the last few weeks, now they're gonna LET Cena skip his rehab time just to come back for a match in dallas

Apples and Oranges. we're not talking Brain and head injury with Cena.

I don't really think a black and white comparison can be made between accumulated concussions that have already left Bryan technically brain damaged (of which the final effects on him may not be known for decades) and a pretty cut-and-dry torn rotator cuff injury.

That's not to say Cena isn't reckless for possibly trying to rush back and WWE isn't reckless for allowing him to do so... I'm just saying there's no need to try and put this through the "DANIEL BRYAN CONSPIRACY" filter.

He's rushing back like Bryan did.... He could cause further damage to his injury like Bryan did and it could possibly cause him to retire like Bryan did. True MAY not be as serious as a brain injury, but at the end of the day it's almost same situation

Cena vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania is a match I've been wanting to see for years, every year it hasn't happened annoys me.

We really didn't need back to back matches 2 years in a row even if some were pretty good.

I would have preferred this match when Taker still had his streak but I can deal with that.

with that said I would prefer Cena was 100% so the match can be at it's best. If that means waiting till Wrestlemania 33 than so be it.

And anyway I would like Cena to be alive for his Hall of Fame induction in the next 10 or so years.

This can't even be remotely compared to Daniel Bryan's situation. We're talking about a muscle tear versus a serious brain injury.

It's not even close to the same situation. A BRAIN injury cannot be compared with Cena's rotator cuff. And no, even if Cena re-tore his rotator cuff, he would not have to retire.

And the argument of "Well he is still rushing back" doesn't fly when we don't know what the doctors have seen or said.

I saw a video of his first workout in the gym after surgery last week, dude could not even move. If he comes back that quick at that age then he truly is superman. I remember people saying his healing powers are insane back in 2008, but now 8 years later? Would be a miracle

That's what rehab is all about, regaining strength. According to his twitter, he squatted around 44 lbs on February 2nd and by February 12th he was already over 300 lbs. Not sure how the strength in his shoulder is but I certainly wouldn't doubt Cena.

[Big Poppa Pumpkin]

Took two pages for someone to try and spin this into a 'WWE are evil' thing, that's impressive.

If he's back by WrestleMania, I hereby demand a piss test ASAP. There's no way he comes back that soon without a little "help".

Forget the piss test; if he's back by Wrestlemania, I want a complete genetic work up to prove that he's human.

They aren't evil, but they seem desperate, because they are so reliant on Cena. This is the flaw with having "the guy". They become too dependent on one wrestler.

[Deleted]

Anybody check what he said on twitter about his recovery? Let's look at this.

January 7 - Cena has surgery
January 25 - Cena goes back to the gym for the first time
January 30 - Cena's max squat is 75 pounds from his max last year which was 611 pounds
February 12 - Cena's max squat is 308 pounds

Watch, Cena will do some promos, do the WM match and then take time off to return to face Reigns for the belt later on. If all he's gotta do is a WM match against Taker than he might be fine.

They're not dependent on him at all. Heck, he was in a mid-card match the last two years (versus Bray and versus Rusev). They could easily have a strong Wrestlemania card without him-doesn't mean it wouldn't be better with him on the card.

cyborg Cena vs deadman Taker is a license to print money

I'm not talking about just Wrestlemania.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

["Mr Wonderdick" Dick Dastardly]

Cena/Taker does not interest me in the slightest without The Streak as a selling point.

I also don't want to see Cena around.

Stay gone.

[Bub (BLM)]

I clicked the thread thinking maybe Cena was talking about WWE needing to take a gamble on the product. Nope, he's just talking about taking a gamble on his health again. That'll fix everything!

I like Cena, and I agree that he doesn't take as much of the spotlight as he once did, I have to say that most of the scaling of Cena is because anyone who main events over him is usually being propped up by the part timers or the Authority.
