WrestleMania 41 is now in the books and it's uncertain whether the history books will be kind to the Night 2 Main Event, Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena.
In the match, Cena defeated Rhodes after interference from Travis Scott, as well as a shot to Rhodes' head from the WWE Championship. Cena picked up the win and his 17th world championship, but many fans online are dissatisfied with the way the match went down.
Eric Bischoff is one of those people. Bischoff sat down with Conrad Thompson to discuss the main event as part of his 83 Weeks podcast, and the former Executive Vice President of World Championship Wrestling had a lot to say about the story and the execution of 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," Bischoff said.
