You Can't See Me (until mid-2008)

Well folks, the odds finally got him. After 3+ years of winning handicap matches and damn near every other match he's been in, with such a stranglehold on the WWE Title that people remember the days of HHH wistfully, John Cena was injured last night on Monday Night Raw with a complete pectoral tear. The word going around right now is that he'll be out between 6 and 8 months, and the injury was so bad that he was rushed into surgery sometime TODAY after being examined.

Now I'm not the type of guy who wishes injury on anyone whether I like them or not, but I have to admit I'm more than a little giddy at the prospect of more than half a year without the Dr. of Thugganomics. It's taken quite a while to get to this level of apathy, believe me. I was one of the ones who thought Cena got shortchanged at WM21 when he won the title rather anticlimatically in about 8 minutes, but he's made up for it since by constantly beating the odds and playing superman for basically the last 3 years.

I hope the guy gets well and can return to the ring, but right now all I can think of is just what the WWE is going to do to fill his spot. There's a few guys due to come back from injury that could possibly fill his spot, there's always Trips, but if they really want to set the fanbase on it's ear...

There's Y2J. Pull the trigger, and let Chris Jericho SAVE THE WWE.
