Hmm…a camera indeed. Means that there’s more than just the word of the wimpy guy.

On the other hand…it does reveal with certainty that Sabrina WAS the one who struck first. While you might be able to argue that the three weren’t there for just some girl talk, somehow I wonder if that will work against her.

Hey Adder! I promise you won’t have to wait too long to see what happens with the Belles especially after we find out what’s wrong with Sabrina. And we’ll see just the higher ups think of this incident on a personal and professional level.

Thanks for breaking it down, James! I have to confess there was one instance where I was in disbelief with Cena. He just came back from neck surgery and fighting Jericho for the title and he came out backed by an army of kids. I felt that was overboard. Personally, I’d take Cena over HHH any day of the week but unfortunately, my hours at work got cut and one of the things that had to go was cable so I’m stuck to reading about the results and quick YouTube clips.

Amanda, I think we know that Gabrielle is going to have an opinion on this one way or the other and any involvement by the Commissioner is going to come out pretty quick.

Good points, GhostEraser! There is a security camera in the alley way and can be seen at the top of page 387 but looking at it again, it’s a terribly drawn camera. But you’re right, security is getting all of this. Gabrielle makes it her business to know everything so if she’s not aware of this already, she’s going to find out very quickly.

I think amanda has a point. Gabrielle seems to know an awful lot of what goes on behind the scenes (Brooke and her boytoy, Sabrina and Vincent, etc…). She’s using Krystin to get Sara Valentine, and she could be using the hell bellies to hype Sabrina even more, giving her an underdog back story.

One other note: a club like the Red Line must have security inside and cameras in the alley for just such an event as this beating. The hell bellies probably had to pay off the kid watching the camera feeds and/or otherwise distract him.

So how involved is Gabrielle in pulling strings behind all this? I’m curious since she seems to be such a puppet master.

Albone, it’s mostly to do with the character vs the man himself. No one with an ounce of sensibility can fault Cena the man, a genuinely good guy and truly an inspiration when it comes to work ethic and attitude to life in general. But people boo the character because it’s too contrived when he fights back against too incredible odds and is unabashedly presented as the shining paladin whom everyone is in awe of, friend or foe. The era of edgier WWE faces is still relatively fresh in most people’s minds, and besides it bespeaks a somewhat more mature worldview to be skeptical of shining paragons of humanity, especially when presented through the medium of WWE programming. You ever noticed the haters will tend to cheer Cena when his character shows a bit of an edge? e.g. when he goes into a dark rage. They like convincing characterization, not a kid’s version of an infallible superhero. And they don’t dislike the person himself unless they’re total assholes.
In any case, “Ultragirl” Sabrina already has a gimmick that makes her practically world champion material. So I already classify her in this “Super” character category. Not necessarily a bad thing, certainly I’d say her character has more depth than Cena’s… lol.
