I don't know why I just did that. Sarcasm plays poorly everywhere and even worse on the web. I guess I just had too much coffee this morning and I'm feeling a little goofy. Not true. I'm possibly the most sarcastic poster here and I'm universally beloved.  |

Cena's STFU is a tricky one. I have two thoughts.
First, the hold itself : the idea of locking the leg *** I think*** is to prevent the opponent escaping or moving to aleviate the pressure from the neck vise rather than to cause the submission itself. The neck vise is supposed to be a pulling back on the face to compress the back of the neck and hyper-extend the front neck muscles, it's just that Cena doesn't apply it as forcefully as perhaps it could be. I think it is intended to look just like the crossface (by the way, why did everyone sell that as being a shoulder move ? It's the neck surely ? Similarly, Bret would often set up the Sharpshooter by working on the legs...doesn't most of the pressure come onto the back when he leans back like that ? )
Second, the choice of move. I can't believe nobody has had a larger reaction to this when they talk about Cena's limited move set. It is an obscure move that was available to CAW's in Smackdown games for years, which normally means someone uses it in japan somewhere. It is no less believable than the Gory Lock for example. If it was anyone else than Cena, probably Senshi or someone, applying this move they would have been hailed for using some obscure move and if only "Cartoon wrestlers" like Cena could apply moves like that blah blah blah...

I don't know why I just did that. Sarcasm plays poorly everywhere and even worse on the web, except for when Havoc posts because he gets "IT"®.

No need to convince me. Kevin Nash is the be all, end all.
He can roll dice faster than any machine ever created. Ain't seen nothing like him.

All we need is Kevin Nash. |

Actually, Kevin Nash doesn't use the dice to play COTG, he simply uses his divine booking skills to determine how the matches should go. Massif and Exo-King were said to be nearly unseatable champions in the early days, while Thantos never rose above "curtain jerker" status because he's a complete vanilla midget.

Is there anything Kevin Nash cant do ? Actually, there is. Kevin Nash is known to have tried (on several occasions) to have a bad match. Sadly, his in-ring excellence prevents this from being possible, and he's never been below the 4-star range. |

Ok guys, if you want to make a Chuck Norris-like Kevin Nash thread, then do so. I think this thread's more than outlived its usefulness.
