I think that Cena should try to be more like 1990 Hulk Hogan AND WCW Goldberg. A little more no-selling and losing only via nefarious means would be a nice "Fuck you" to the smark crowd and I predict that a lot of the booing would be alleviated. I think the casual fan only wants to see someone that can kick the shit out of the bad guys.
From what I've seen Cena takes a bunch of punishment then shrugs it off after his Hulk Up moment. (You guys are telling me that's pretty much how he's always done this.)
A more successful model would be for him to dominate the beginning of the math for about 3-4 minutes, get poked in the eyes and beat up for a little before coming back and showing a strong finish.
Are we exaggerating how formulaic Cena's matches are though???
