I've been a long time Cena basher. I still don't want him anywhere near the title picture, but I've been thinking lately, my problem isn't with John Cena the worker at all. I actually used to mark for him when he did his comedy raps. They were hillarious. My problem is with the way he is booked.
Cena the worker comes out and gives 100% effort every single night, even though he is getting booed as a babyface (which has to be spirit breaking). He's not all that great in the ring, but he's not as bad as Batista. And half the time Batista doesn't even look like he's trying to improve. Cena looks like he is putting everything he's got into his matches. He got booed out of the building at One Night Stand and WrestleMania (three times actually) and took it with stride. He didn't let it affect his match like Lesnar and Goldberg. He does the same thing he would have done if he were getting cheered.
The problem is the way he's booked. Now that he's meant to be taken as a serious rapper, his character becomes ridiculous. He has boring, boring storylines where he continually over comes the odds. He is stuck with terrible scripted promos that have Nickelodeon humor in them. He's just trying to make the best of what he's given.
Anyway, discuss. What do you think about this specific point (don't start a fight about how much he sucks. It's just old).

I agree , its not the man`s fault if he is paid to preform a promo written by some bad writer. I was not into the "Rapping " Carreer either. I liked the freestyles but it was kinda getting boring when he started attending VH1 Hip Hop shows and started hanging out with Snoop.

i agree for the most part...i don't personally hate cena, it's just that he's always doing the same thing, like you said - overcoming the odds, blah blah blah, etc. etc., almost everything wwe has him do is boring.

**Waits for all the grown men to come in here and say words like "Cena sucks"**
I like Cena too, what he does outside of wrestling for charity work is 2nd to none. good guy.

I don't hate Cena, he's a great performer and from a kids point of view, a great role-model. I think WWE ruined him to be honest.

I agree that his problem is the way he is booked. Also, whoever writes his promos should be shot in the kneecap. He used to be superb on the mic, and I used to anticipate seeing him every week. Back on SD! that is.

I like alot about Cena, the guy has prooved alot to me, but as previously mentioned it's his booking that's the issue. I really think that should Cena ever turn heel it would rival Hogans Bash at the Beach turn. I don't think WWE is willing to ever do that though because their cash cow might not make as much money as heel, and there in lies the problem, Cena's success is his fault.

I don't know, I change where I stand with him, inside the ring, about once a month. Outside the ring, I hear he's a great guy, and like most wrestlers, I would enjoy meeting him.

I actually enjoy some of Cena's work from time to time. My only issue with him is that typically his storylines that he is involved in are rather bland which isnt his fault.

I agree, when Cena came to Raw in 2005 I really liked him until his feud with angle. I saw that part of WWE as such a boring and terrible time. It made cena sooooo boring and annoying. They had a chance to make things cool with edge winning, but then took that away.

Cena just needs to go away for about 6 months, and never mentioned again.
'Til he returns with a new gimmick, something to make him fresh. Give him new entrance music, that he doesn't sing himself, make him wear long tights to make him more WWE'ish....I don't even know what I mean there either. That's all he needs is a good refreshment (maybe some Hogan energy drink)

He would look dumb if they made him look WWE`ish. Thats like if The Undertaker started going with like Batista tights... A change of gimmick .... yeh , he is not THAT much entertaining as he was in 2002 - 2005 .

It seems as though more and more people each day are starting to like Cena.
And more and more people each day are starting to hate CM Punk.
But I've never liked Punk, and i've always liked Cena.
