Cena sucks! And thats the first time they haven't turned the volume down on that. Is there a chance that they'll just let it be known that the whole wrestling world doesn't blow him?

Blah...is it just me or is WWE kinda uninteresting? I mean yeah they actually hid the return on Cena, the Elimination Chamber is no surprise...and it just sets up the HHH vs. RKO for Wrestlemania that was originally planned.
I'm going to stand firm and say that Santino Marella is the best thing going for them! And if you don't agree then you can lick my nine.

If I had the time, I would start re-writing the WWE right now, so I could send it to them in the hopes of getting work as a creative writer there. I've sent in my application and resume, but they like tv and film experience...I do live theatre.
Anyway, the storylines are just so shameful. They shoot themselves in the foot with every move. No Way Out is meaningless, because all they ever talk about is Wrestlemania. Taboo Tuesday, should be moved to February, and let that be the only thing that goes on in February.
Look at the Elimination Chamber match. In the match: Triple H, HBK, Umaga, JBL, Chris Jericho, and Jeff Hardy. That leaves who exactly in the Undercard? Kennedy vs. Flair, Santino vs.....Hornswoggle?
So the undercard will be something stupid involving Hornswoggle and McMahon, a useless Women's Match, and the Kennedy-Flair match which lacks any drama at all because we all know he's going to go out at Wrestlemania.
At any and all times in wrestling these feuds should be going on: World Champion-#1 Contender, Undercard Champ (IC, US) - #1 conteder, Tag Champions - #1 Tag Team Contenders and a singles grudge feud....this is bare minimum. You can also spice things up with a strong women's division, tag grudges, and additional singles grudges. The singles grudges then give you the chance for the gimmick matche...even better!
But, right now Stephanie and her team are writing the I.C. champ into the program with the World Champion...and putting all their other biggest singles draws in a ridiculous number one contender match. Here's a news-flash: WRESTLING MATCH WINNERS ARE PRE-DETERMINED They know who is going to win in the Elimination Chamber, why waste 4 of your top superstars for no reason. There are other, more creative ways to come up with a number one contender match that creates an excellent build up to the PPV and then makes the match meaningful...without a belt involved! Just for a chance at the belt, the match becomes meaningful, therein making the belt worth even more, because a chance at getting it means so much more!
Remember back in the old days whenever it seemed so natural? The last minute of the Royal Rumble INSTANTLY got you excited for Wrestlemania. It was brilliant. The Rumble now gets the champion " a shot at any champion whenever they want." How ridiculous.
I predict JBL to come out winner of the EC and face John Cena at Wrestlemania. HHH will face and defeat Flair before hoisting him on his shoulders as the ring fills with the superstars.

The Elimination Chamber WOULD be cool...if the winner wasn't so obvious. And if it's anyone BUT HHH, then I will stand corrected. But it's going to be HHH. End of story. They've been getting him ready for Mania all this time - they won't just stop that now.
If they're smart, they'll book Cena over Orton, turn Cena heel, and have HHH going after the heel Cena's title at Mania. With Cena being booed, HHH being over right now, and wrestling needing a change of pace (seriously, how many times has H been the heel in the main event at Mania?), it would work welll. Plus, nobody wants to see a face champ defending against the heel challenger.
Or, shoot, make them both faces and have Cena turn heel during or at the end of the match at Mania. That'd have people talking. Although, with another movie lined up soon, who knows if marketing would even think about turning Cena. We'll see.
The reason I say it's perfect for Cena to go over Orton at No Way Out is because for Flair's retirement match, you put him against Randy Orton. His gimmick for the past few years has been LEGEND KILLER. Come on. He has to be the one to retire Flair. It wouldn't even make sense for anyone else to do it. Not unless Hogan, Sting, or Arn Anderson showed up and did it. But those aren't happening.
So for Mania, you'd be rocking...
Cena vs. HHH
Flair vs. Orton
Taker vs. Edge
Money in the Bank
DMD's fingers crossed on a Hogan match
And, according to some, perhaps a Mick Foley match (maybe with Vince)
That is a great, solid start to a good Mania card.
I do totally agree with Ninja, though, that the I-C Title does NOT need to be wrapped up in the World Title picture. And I agree with Diggs that Santino is the best new thing they have. So drop the I-C Title to Santino! Come on, WWE!

With the strain on the Hogan-WWE relationship, I highly doubt Hogan will be at Wreslemania.

Hogan will be there.

I think as far as Flair's retirement goes, Richard Morgan Fliehr wants Paul Michael Levesque to pin him for the last time in his career. Flair and HHH are incredible friends, and Flair has numerous times, in and out of kayfabe referred to HHH as the best in the business right now.
When it comes to retiring, the wrestling world gives you what you want. When its Ric Flair, you'll definitely get it. I can't see anyone else finishing Flair off.
Orton's gimmick is, of course, ready-made to take over the duties if they do push HHH towards the championship.
You have to remember that the biggest flaw of the WWE writing team right now is that they are not thinking in the long-term. I don't think they're pushing Triple H for the championship, because I think they weren't pushing him towards anything. The Flair - HHH retirement match has probably already been known for a while. The program HHH has been in for a bit since his return has just been the only thing they knew what to do with him. SO MUCH of their storylines come from this "we don't know what else to do with them" idea.
JBL vs. Cena
Orton vs. Hardy
HHH vs. Flair
Some other crap just used for stuffing.
