The idea for the finish is just so goddamned retarded that it HAD to come from a McMahon. Instead of taking an undefeated monster and pushing him to the moon AS SUCH, they blow it to stroke Cena's ego. I mean, this is getting almost as bad as Jarrett's stranglehold on the TNA title. Common sense would dictate that Umaga beating Cena and holding the belt till Mania would be the way to go with this. If you're gonna end the guy's streak, end it at a PPV that MATTERS, while at the same time giving Cena some sort of motivation and direction (and lets face it, Cena works better when he's chasing the belt, not holding it in a deathgrip). Another misfire by the McMahons. Good post. In related news, Umaga's streak has signed with TNA. It is expected to feud with Sting.

I thought it was a good way to end the match. He couldn't overpower Umaga, so the element of suprise got him off guard and as they say it only takes 3 seconds. I was quite impressed with the way they went instead of just making it DQ or some such BS.

The streak will ultimately capture the NWA World Heavyweight Title in the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary, where it will hang the belt over Christian Cage, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, and Abyss. It will, however, drop the belt on the following Impact to a returning Jeff Jarrett.

It was a lame ending to a pretty good match. The whole Cena can't lift up Umaga was really stupid too. Well yeah when Cena's highlights include FU-ing the bigger Big Show and Viscera. I guess it was selling of the savage beating he took the whole match. IT was cool though Cena using wrestling to beat him instead of going head strong...to take you on...head strong to take on anyone... I think a 30 minute match between the two stripped of rules would go over better. It was sorta like the JBL match at wrestlemania 21.

It's always disappointing when a long undefeated straek is ended especially by someone who seems undeserving (Ludvig Borga ended Tatanka's two year streak.) Yet, the build wasn't for nothing. They took the former Jamal who most WWE fans felt like was just a jobber into a credible threat to the title. He wasn't titlewortyh but a good match against Cena in the main event can't hurt his credibility or career. I predict a face turn to follow.

RKO vs FU, WM23. My vote for best possible Mania main event at this point. And with H's out, it seems... where else are they gonna go? Undertaker vs. Batista Undertaker vs. Cena

I get that everyone can't stand Cena. But can everyone really be so blinded by hate, that they would rather have Freakin' Umaga as champion? Yes I would've loved to seen Umaga take the title from him. I simply cant stand Cena, he gets on my nerves so bad, mainly because he's a white rapper, and for most of my life I've held a huge grudge against white rappers, as stupid as that sounds, I just cant freakin stand them, screw Cena. One Night Stand was one of my favorite moments ever, just because of how much the crowd hated him... seriously Cena can go to Hell

Fact remains that WWE UnCreative pissed away a great chance to do something surprising and went with the status quo yet AGAIN. I'm glad you're impressed with being spoonfed the same goddamned result for a month of Sundays. Me? I'm not, and I stand by my original post, which wasn't simply "smarky complaining" as you've painted it, but was intended as MY OPINION on the match, which I do believe I'm entitled to. So Cena won with a rollup. How in the blazes is that different than him winning every other time? The end result is the SAME. Whether he gets them with an FU, a schoolboy or whathave you....Cena still pins them. I fail to see where that garners ANY sort of praise. But as I've said, you're entitled to you're opinion, as I'm entitled to mine. But just because I don't agree with you and worship the WWE for handing me the same ol same ol, and I call the WWE on it, doesn't make me a whiner.

He'll probably get shipped off to Smackdown or ECW by the time WM rolls around.
Umaga vs. Lashley
Umaga vs. Batista
Umaga vs. Undertaker
Armando vs. Little Bastard

Unbe-frickin'-lievable. The beginning of the end for Umaga. An unstobable monster is toppled by a roll up from John Cena Superman! Seriously, why are they trying to shove this Super-Cena image down our throats, it DOE'S NOT SUIT HIM!!
