Although word has been out on this for a while, I thought I'd take the time to comment on the proposed main event for One Night Stand 2.0 today.
Can't say I'm overjoyed at the prospect of RVD vs. Cena. When it originally broke that it might be RVD vs. Triple H, I wasn't the happiest grape in the bunch, but with a little time to digest it I thought it could work. Triple H, although he is like the anti-Christ among most "smart marks", could have had a decent ECW-lite match with RVD (remember, pull your kicks Robby Boy, even the long arm of The Game can reach over to ECW). And imagine the chants from the ECW faithful...
But RVD vs. Cena? That just isn't doing anything for me. The ECW RVD needed a landing pad for an opponent. Although most opponents of a lower caliber ended up looking good opposite RVD (Balls Mahoney etc.) those lower caliber opponents were always in the right place at the right time. Cena isn't exactly Johnny on the Spot when it comes to being in the right place at the right time. It doesn't seem like this is designed to be a great match (more of a War of the Worlds "Pro Wrestling vs. Sports Entertainment" type match), but in ECW it's was all about what happens between those ropes. It's being done at the expense of having a great match to cap off ONS.
In closing I'd like to give a quick shout out to my old Mark Out compadre, hb2k_buzzsaw. What's up biotch?!?!
