I always thought professional wrestling was fake, turns out I was wrong...

Seth Rollins holds both the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and United States Championship, thanks to Jon Stewart. The former Daily Show host hit John Cena with a chair while the referee was knocked out, helping Rollins to get the pin and win both titles.

There wasn't much serious beef here -- just two guys with titles who don't like each other too much. Rollins has gone on and on about how he's the greatest WWE Champion of all time since he won the strap, even though he's clearly less accomplished than Cena, a 15-time winner of world-level championships. Cena pointed out how thoroughly obnoxious Rollins is on numerous occasions throughout the last month and beat Rollins in a non-title match, setting up this fight for two titles.

Rollins stomped on Cena's stomach from the top rope early on after some "you can't see me" hand signal mocking, but Cena was up quickly and delivered an Attitude Adjustment less than two minutes later. Unsurprisingly, less than 10 minutes into the match, it wasn't enough for the win.

come to think of it, I was wondering what the hell wrestling was doing on sportscenter. Shortly after that, they showed some video game championship at Madison Square Garden. Maybe it's time we have another "what is a sport and what is not" thread.
