I thought doubts of his wrestling ability should have been dispeled (or at least dampened) after his matches with Shawn Michaels at WM 23 and then "WM rematch" in London. Okay, so he kinda forgot to sell his leg injury in the former, but overall I thought it was quite good. The STFU isn't so bad of a finisher, he just has to make it look tight, and not act as though it does more pain to him than to his opponent.
What does irk me is the annoying Chain Gang/TEH MARIEN gimmick. It's too bad that he can't turn heel (he said he wanted to turn heel at last year's One Night Stand) because the WWE needs him to stay superface so they can continue to sell merch to groupies and kiddies.
True. Even if his wrestling ability has improved...I still don't like him. I liked it better when he would freestyle diss his enemies with his hip-hop gimmick he had going on. Vince said that bobby lashley and Cena is the future of WWE, so it's no wonder why they hafta be superfaces and winning almost every match. But either way, I hope after the draft, they start to take ECW seriously and make it into a 2 hour show and make it a bit more "hardcore." Its ECW for crying out loud, and i don't see the "E" in ECW no more....
