Only slightly greater than a month stays before John Cena retires at WWE Saturday Night’s Foremost Event, and fans now understand how WWE is determining who Cena’s final opponent will probably be. This past Saturday, on the newest edition of Saturday Night’s Foremost Event, Cena announced the “Last Time is Now” tournament, a sixteen wrestler field where the winner gets the respect of facing Cena in his swan song.
The announcement has generated each excitement, speculation, and a few detractors, including Bully Ray. On Monday’s “Busted Open Radio,” Bully revealed he was not in favor of WWE using a tournament to find out Cena’s last opponent, an opinion he feels can be echoed by disgraced former WWE Chairman, and Cena’s long-time friend, Vince McMahon.
“I’m not a fan of the tournament idea,” Bully said. “And…I’d be willing to bet a dollar that if Vince McMahon knew about this tournament, he can be destroying his own residence. ‘My god, a f*****g tournament?!’ Vince hated tournaments. Now I didn’t share Vince’s opinion on tournaments. But on this case, I’m not a fan of this tournament, unless there’s anyone involved on this tournament that we do not see coming. But they will need to wrestle in the primary round, so we will see them coming.
“I wanted this to be built up. I wanted the anticipation to be built up, especially in the event you already know who’s going to win the tournament. You may construct up the anticipation, because whoever loses in the primary round, second round, third round, they’re just going by the waste side. They are not going to find a way to say ‘Well, I used to be within the John Cena tournament.’ It is not like getting a bronze medal within the Olympics, where you continue to get to face on the rostrum, you continue to get a bronze medal, and your country’s flag still gets to fly high. It’s like ‘You lost in the primary round of the John Cena tournament. Brush your hair!'”
