Posted February 20, 201510 yr comment_5655089 Remember the crowd reaction? Also, remember the fact that WWE loves to try and duplicate stuff with the intention of exceeding the original success. Cena's pretty much guaranteed to equal Flair's 16 world title reigns at some point in the not-to-distant future, Reigns broke Kane's Rumble elimination record, etc. My question is, is there anything WWE could possibly do, be it at a Wrestlemania or any even that could possibly come close (or even exceed?) to shocking the audience that Taker going down for the 1-2-3 at XXX did?

February 20, 201510 yr Author comment_5655092 They recreate the WM9 main event with Bryan as Bret Hart, Brock as Yoko and... Hogan as Hogan! That would be pathetic, yet hilarious. Imagine Cole and JBL trying to sell that shit on commentary, complete with Heyman throwing ceremonial salt meant for Bryan in Brock's eyes?!
February 20, 201510 yr comment_5655134 Even a Cena heel turn wouldn't shock as much as Undertaker losing and that's the closest thing I can think of in terms of today's television product.
February 21, 201510 yr comment_5655194 A violent, blood filled massacre with John Cena turning heel. Other than that, no. It is like trying to recreate Brazil 1 Germany 7. In terms of context and uniqueness it may never be surpassed, although the England cricket team did a fine job of replicating it last night.

February 21, 201510 yr comment_5655207 Cena goes heel is closest thing, but that wouldnt be nearly as shocking... Bryan winning the title - shocking because WWE might get something right!!

Imagine Cole and JBL trying to sell that shit on commentary, complete with Heyman throwing ceremonial salt meant for Bryan in Brock's eyes?! That's arguably the greatest thing ever. Anyway, I don't know if I'd be so quick to say Cena turning heel wouldn't be as shocking as Brock beating Taker. I'm not saying it would be, but I wouldn't rule it out either.

Completes depends on how it is done. If Cena turns heel forming a stable with Orton & Batista & Big Show type of guys being some kind of old guard trying to stop the new young guys from taking their place with a vicious beat down on the hot upcoming face. I think that would do it.

February 24, 201510 yr comment_5655979 It won't compare to Taker losing, but... If Rusev beats Cena again at Mania, that might be the second biggest shocker in WrestleMania history.
