Erm, exactly how did Shawn Michaels beat Ric Flair at 'Mania? Orton won clean, he didn't cheat in any way to win the match. Also CARLITO'S NUMBER 1 FAN, how do you know that Cena isn't the cash cow he used to be? Do you work in the WWE's finance department? I can't be arsed getting into the 'he gets booed' discussion because honestly, what does it matter if he gets booed? It's not as if he gets no cheers whatsoever. The reactions Cena gets give him a more unique dimension to his character. Also, this may shock you, but we're no longer in the age of the good guys always being cheered and the bad guys always being booed like it used to be in the 80's and 90's. Trust me, if wrestling fans were the same now as they were 15-20 years ago, Cena would be the biggest babyface on the wrestling planet. Also, the 'annoying fad' as you call him still held the WWE Title for 13 months and is unlikely to be on the list given the fact he's going away to shoot the '13 rounds' movie for WWE films. Obviously you didn't think about that. Cena will still be in the Title picture for the forseeable future, as he should be. When Ric Flair singles you out for praise in his HoF speech, you know your a big deal. I've seen the top ten releases on shopzone, a year ago John Cena's merchandise was not only the #1 top seller but it was also #2 and #3 all at the same time. Currently his 8 bit shirt is at #4, and I don't care that Flair mentioned him in his speech I still say he's nothing more than a fad. So his 8 bit t shirt is behind a HHH t shirt, a WrestleMania t shirt and some Jeff Hardy armbands? Big deal. Have you not thought that maybe the 'E' has decided there is no need for any more new Cena merchandise at the moment? Also, I'd say Cena is getting the same amount of action figures produced as The Rock and Austin were during the Attitude Era. Why would Jakks continue to put Cena in so many lines if his popularity was on the wane? The fact that he's going to be the lead role in the next WWE film project should tell you a little something about how he is viewed within the company. Also, to be fair, you must be an expert on fads, what with being a Carlito fan and all.

I mean, he's a heel and a babyface all mixed into one. The 'E' has rolled with the mixed reactions perfectly and it adds a great, fascinating dynamic to every match and feud that Cena's involved in.

When Ric Flair singles you out for praise in his HoF speech, you know your a big deal. Most definitely agree with you on that statement. Although don't expect many other people to; people's blind hatred for Cena will still allow them to somehow shoot down Flair's opinion as wrong, even though Flair knows a HELL of a lot more about the business, and what it takes to be successful in the business, than a bunch of wannabe armchair critics who spend 20 hours a day sitting at the PC thinking they know crap. Sad but true. Cena's not gonna be abolished to the mid-card or anything like that, don't be silly. It's simply due to the fact that he's not doing house shows at the moment because of him shooting 12 Rounds, therefore a WWE Championship feud/reign is out of the question right now. When May rolls around, Cena will be right back where he belongs, and where WWE knows he belongs - in the title picture. He's a main-eventer for life, get used to it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

Don't get too excited, when he comes back from shooting the movie, he'll be right back in the championship picture.

John Cena will win the title once his movie comes out. That way when he appears on dub talk shows, they could present him as "please welcome the wwe champion and star of the film 12 rounds, john cena". you get my point.

Currently his 8 bit shirt is at #4, and I don't care that Flair mentioned him in his speech I still say he's nothing more than a fad. joebaia: good point with michaels. i sit corrected lol. but still tho, he stole the pin, that aint cool lol. but to the main quite, The only "fad" i see with Cena, is the fad for hating him. big in 06, but dying down. i remember how relentless people here would be, and on tv. every other day was a Cena argument. I became a cena fan in like 04 when he started getting big exposure. but thats because hes a different guy, not the guy in tights or trunks, hes the guy doin his own thing. i would go on but this aint about me its about cena fans in general. so onto that: the sales are going down because everyone got theirs when it first came out. if it starts out at 1, then goes to 2, then 3, thats because the majority of fans got their shirt, and less and less fans are buying it, because more and more fans already have it. it levels out. that happened with the 8-bit t shirt. it went right to #1 but moved down fast. but I blame that on being not too good of a shirt lol. what i say is the only Fad for liking wrestlers, its the fad for Edge and Orton. they were the main guys the past two years facing cena, and everyone hopped on their bandwagon, because they were the dirty-fighting, cheap guys who actually stood a chance against Cena because of the way they fight. Like in 06-07, everyone had those "Rated R" sigs with edge spearing cena and holding the belt, then came the "Destiny" sigs. Now theres wayyyy less people backing them, because theyre out of cenas feud and already took his belt.

Randy Orton is probably one of the worst wrestlers ever i have no idea how he became champion...he's out of sync everytime he fights, he's slow for in good shape he is...i guess he looks good with the belt...wwe=dumb
Kennedy or CM Punk deserve the title in my opinion....
Cena is a nothing to me...he's strong as hell but he looks ridiculous as a champion you can't take him seriously as a champ in jean shorts...nobody wears jean shorts anymore and you sure as hell don't wrestle in them...so many praised him when he won the title a while back ago and cried after he was champ for a while...that's because Cena is like rap music he's here one day gone the next
Triple H is a good champion but once he gets it he turns heel and controls the whole company...oh that's right he probably already does since he's married to stephanie
Umaga is Jamal from 3 minute warning he's fake and stupid
Jericho could be champ but he's just not impressing me since he's been back...he looks out of shape for some reason...needs to do some more FOZZY anyway
JBL sucked when he was an Acolyte and he still sucks...clothesline from hell wow he's impressive
Big Show could be champion but it won't happen because they don't find him as a good champ...he's slow and big that's it
Kennedy and CM Punk the only reason WWE won't let them be champion is because WWE is too stupid to realize real talent...guys that have pushed their way to the top and they are still not being recognized which brings me to Cena who likes to cry so they give him a title shot

I don't mind Cena in the title picture, I'd rather have him with the belt than Triple H.
