WWE Hall of Famer says Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena at WrestleMania 41 “missed the mark”

As seen during the WWE WrestleMania 41 Sunday PLE, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to become a 17-time world champion. While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff criticized the match…

“I have to believe when both those guys watch this match back, they’re going to go, ‘We missed it. We missed the mark because that match just didn’t create emotion…the responsibility is equal among the parties. The chemistry wasn’t there. I don’t think the story was there to begin with. The heel turn was soft. I didn’t say it’s bad, but it was soft. It wasn’t compelling. There was nothing that felt different than a million other turns we’ve seen before.

Yes, for all of you people who say I never criticize WWE, please pay attention. That story missed the mark from the get-go, and we talked about it here. And it just hasn’t gotten any better. I believe it had a lack of heat, just lack of a good story.” (quote courtesy of Fightful.com)
