An era ended in WWE Saturday night, as John Cena, after 23 years on the main roster, retired following a loss to former World & Intercontinental Champion Gunther (Walter Stark). Fans were upset because it appeared as though Cena had smiled a little before tapping out.
Earlier in the night, a jealous Miz disrupted the proceedings, upset that he wasn't scheduled to appear on Saturday Night's Main Event, so he hijacked the show for a few minutes. Ignorant of the fact his main event win over Cena 14 years ago was tainted, Miz demanded respect.
R-Truth and a special guest had other ideas......
Yeah, Miz acts like Daffy Duck, who also never got a standing ovation. At least we know who Joe Hendry, newly signed with WWE, will feud with once he's officially on the main roster around the Royal Rumble......!
Across the Potomac in Baltimore, site of this year's Army-Navy game, president Trump was brought out for the ceremonial coin toss. Suffice to say, it didn't go well........
One reporter opined that Trump looked like a space alien who didn't know what he was doing. Reminds me of this guy.......
Flipping a coin ain't the same as tossing an egg, but, well, Mork was the first one I thought of.
Trump's poor attempt at a coin flip was, ultimately, the kiss of death for Army, as Navy escaped with a 17-16 victory, achieving back-to-back 10 win seasons.
In New York, Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the 1st Hoosier to win the prestigious award. ESPN moved the ceremony up to 7 pm (ET), in addition to being simulcast on ABC.
Mets fans are even saltier this weekend after first baseman and 2-time Home Run Derby champ Pete Alonso signed with Baltimore. 5 years, $155 million, absent the commission for his parasitic leech, Scott Boras Badenov. Just days after closer Edwin Diaz fled west to the Dodgers, another piece of the Mets' 2024 NLCS team has been removed. Signing infielder Jorge Polanco (Seattle) ain't going to salve the wounds right away, but it does indicate that the team plans to move Mark Vientos across the diamond to play first base to replace Alonso. Many fans on reddit have turned on owner Steve Cohen and GM David Stearns for letting Diaz, Alonso, & Brandon Nimmo leave in the last month. Boras represents Nimmo & Alonso, while Diaz is repped by another, lesser known agency.
The Rangers celebrated their 100th anniversary Saturday at Madison Square Garden, honoring some 2 dozen former players in a pre-game ceremony hosted by former announcer Sam Rosen. Then, the current team rallied from a 3 goal deficit in the first period to beat Montreal in overtime, 5-4. Current color analyst Dave Maloney was on the ice for the ceremony, then called the game with Kenny Albert. For Ranger fans, Christmas came early.
