By booking Cena the way they did and never budging EXCEPT for the One Night Stand match (which was easily one of Cena's best matches) it completely killed his character for pretty much everyone but the kids. His gimmick calls for him wrestle as he does. He can wrestle, we know this. He used to put on entertaining matches. But now it all follows a blue print to a fault. He gets beat down for twenty minutes, fires up and wins the match. It's pretty much the Hogan formula, only Cena gets beat on for longer because he has the stamina to do it. In the end, I blame the inept writers and Vince McMahon for Cena's on-screen persona. Cena, the man, is a fine man and, given the right freedom coupled with the right direction, he could have easily been someone to lead the company into something big. Unfortunately, that ship may have sailed, at least for Cena as a face.

Everything that Xero said.
