The Love Child Of Amy Dumas And Adam Copeland 4 April 2005 06:31:38
Cena took JBL down with an early shoulderblock. JBL quickly took control with a shoulder tackle of his own and then some stomps. He hit a chop and a neckbreaker. JBL remained on sustained offense for several minutes. Cena made two brief comebacks including a powerslam of JBL off the ropes. He made full-fledged comeback at 10:00 including a flying shoulder tackle and sideslam. He then looked to the crowd and didn't seem to get much of a pop. He did the "you can't see me" bit, and then pumped up his shoes. JBL threw a punch, but Cena gave JBL the FU and scored the pin.
WINNER: Cena at 11:18 to capture the WWE Hvt. Title.
STAR RATING: *1/2 -- Below average and really way too short to be considered the least bit worthy of its semi-main event slot. Not a terrible match for second on the card, but a huge disappointment in that it was very very basic stuff throughout where the heel dominated the face until a largely mundane comeback by Cena that got the mediocre crowd response it deserved. He went for a bodysurf in the first few rows, but they couldn't support him and he sank nearly to the floor. There was really no excuse for that match not to be booked to be more special than that. Cena did not look like a star and the ending of JBL's long title reign should have felt like a bigger deal. It wouldn't shock me if they were running short on time and that match had to be sliced down because nobody is telling Triple H he has to shave even a minute off of his alotted match.
