You pretty much said i'm delusional so you earned that comment. Hey, I think Cesaro got put over from the random encounters and he's made every one of those challenges good and by making the guy better than he was coming into the match, he legit had a 8 minute or so match with Zack freaking Ryder for you to think he's purposely going around burying everyone in sight is just doesn't make sense. Without Cena, that Punk pipebomb is worthless and the whole Yes Movement wouldn't have mattered either, Wyatt and Owens aren't midcarders and either is Rusev who was in line to win the IC title before he got hurt but we'll blame Rusev losing momentum on Cena and not the fact that he broke his foot and was used as fodder for Lana and Ziggler's failed storyline. To think Punk and Bryan got over on their own is hilarious because before the big Cena feuds one was losing pre show matches to Truth while the other was a tag team specialist. It's the cool thing to say Cena buries guys, and I do agree with his stuff from 2007-2011 was horrible but most of the guys he beat weren't really top flight main event talents they were elevated to fight Cena. Since the last Rock match he really hasn't been super Cena of old, and this run with the US Title adds to that point as most of the guys are either debuting from NXT or are fresh from NXT or guys who've been jobbing for months and he had long matches with all of them if the burying thing was true he would be WWE champion right now.
He didn't smash his momentum or credibility to pieces, he lost to Balor clean as well and that didn't hurt him at all so why would losing to Cena be any different, you would think losing to a guy in NXT would be worse than losing to a 15 time world champion. It's not Cena's fault creative flops for 90% of the guys on the roster, the top guy shouldn't be losing often and should be winning most of his feuds how many guys did Austin, Rock, Hogan etc put over clean in there careers? It's a very small number, heck Austin left WWE for a time because he refused to put Lesnar over when he first started on the roster. For a top guy Cena has put over guys who deserve it (Punk and Bryan), has made lesser names look better than what they really are (Rusev) and put a guy over clean in his first match on the main roster and within a few months of him to signing to WWE when was the last time they signed an Indy star and gave them a mega push like Owens has oh wait right never. Most of the guys they've fed Cena over the years were horrible and didn't deserve to be put over (Khali, Umaga , Kozlov etc). There's no company in Wrestling that lets there top guy lose feuds like people expect Cena to lose feuds, if he lost as much as everyone here wants him to lose beating him wouldn't matter. Tanahashi doesn't put everyone over and he hasn't lost a feud in years while Cena has put plenty of guys over that are good enough for it. They rushed Wyatt into that feud with Cena honestly, he didn't have many big wins at all so him losing was a lot worse but I think his character direction is what's brought Wyatt down to earth not Cena. I'm not going to agree with everyone for the sake of agreeing with everyone, we'll see if i'm proven wrong with Owens i'm fairly confident I won't be though. People bring up Barrett as someone who he should've put over, hindsight 20/20 the guy sucks and is hurt constantly and has had more failed gimmicks than any guy in recent memory.
I'm sure Stone Cold was made because of a loss to Bret Hart, there's been other cases where guys lost to top guys and became stars because of it. I don't agree with the submission victory, but to give up on Owens and saying that he's stuck in the midcard for his whole career is really silly. And with Cena he's gotten more guys over than any number one guy in WWE ever has. The only guy i remember Austin putting over was Jericho and that was because of plenty of outside crap, and Jericho was never a true main event guy until 2008 because he never got a clean win over the top guys. You can get a clean win, and then lose the feud and come out strong from it it's happened plenty of times and with the backing Owens has and the talent he has i'm sure he will. Wyatt has done pretty great since the Cena stuff, even though it's "pointless" to some he's still a featured guy and his feuds get top billing, I don't know what else they can do with Wyatt to please the fans but I think he's in the right spot currently his feud with Roman has been good.
