That's really the reason I don't despise the guy. He's playing the role he has too. He's shown versatility, and ability to me. He's carried the torch well for the last few years. I see change coming though at some point.

The Hurricana thing was abysmal.

He has absolutely no versatility at all. He can't sell any personality but the one where he's cracking stupid jokes (and usually when he needs to be serious). And I realize you don't watch much, but he's been delivering absolutely horrendous promos lately. I'm not looking forward to 6 weeks of "yo mama" jokes between him and rock.

The problem is he has played that good guy role for 10 years. And he doesn't have any depth to it. He has always been bland. Kids love him though, so he really hasn't needed to change unfortunately.

Cena is a flat character. Most wrestling characters are flat, but when you play one without any change or alteration for nearly a decade, adults will view it as an exercise in drudgery.

No, he's not some juiced up monster, and I watched his bio. Clean living and all of that jazz. His spot he did last May or whenever it was, was hands down the most captivating promo I've ever witnessed. "Breaking the 4th wall" or whatever it was, it was just incredible. His in ring skill is really 2nd to no one I can think of. I'll bet he and Jericho have had some epic matches. I remember the one I saw a couple of weeks ago was a ****ing clinic. This is the first time I've marked out like this on a wrestler in the better part of a decade. I'm starting to believe he is the best in the World, and maybe the best of all time. He would've killed it in the Attitude era, and he may be the only guy on the roster who you could say that about. |

And he's done it with hard work (he's not a natural athlete, and you can see that awkwardness sometimes, although rarely in the last couple of years), being unique (he's literally not like anybody else in WWE, which is part of his appeal) and by basically being an arrogant asshole who wouldn't let anybody tell him he wasn't the best. Obviously I'm not behind the scenes, but I get the sense that he's this generation's Shawn Micheals, a guy who doesn't fit the prototype of what Vince McMahon wants, can cause all kinds of trouble backstage, but works his ass off, is convinced he's great, and makes himself a star.
Now if Daniel Bryan could drop the comedy act, we could really be on to something. |
