However, I honestly do feel that Cena is better in the ring. Sure, Rock played to the crowd more when in the ring, but Cena has a better ratio of playing to the crowd to good wrestling, thus having a more balanced Psychology style. Rock rarely had what I would call "good" matches. Cena, while it's true he's in the ring with people who can carry him, has more good matches on a monthly basis than Rock had on a yearly basis.

Rock was all show. Cena is more balanced and rounded, even in his current gimmick.
I agree with you on many points. Right up until the "even in his current gimmick." Even Rock's "stale" moveset got a reaction, for example, and comparably, it felt fresher, even to someone who complained that it was stale. The Rock was better paced, disaplyed psychology much better, and so on. And while I think a lot of that has to do with the direction WWE has given him, it doesn't change that Cena's worse currently, at the very least.

Cena's better overall in ring, but as far as his character goes...NO.
