It's not everybody, there's enough "good" people here.

This is the paradoxical wrestling fan. They are smart to the way the business works but a mark for only certain "chosen" products, a popular is obviously CM Punk. CM Punk is by far one of the best WWE has, but come on guys when does he have a match you don't see him as clear as day call move by move to his opponent.
That reason alone is why I'd put Christian's matches with Orton far above Punk's.
Still though, I got much love for Punk, especially when he is pushed.
Didn't mean to rant about Punk but it happened.
Back to Cena. These fans are choosing what to mark for an what to dissect before they even watch it. They won't allow themselves to enjoy a Cena classic because they've turned off the ability too. Besides, it's obviously "cooler" to hate Cena than like him. I just respect him, and enjoy a good amount of his matches. Except with Sheamus, I really didn't like those, I don't want to see them wrestle ever again.
I've just turned off that critical part of my head when I watch wrestling lately. Although if WWE or TNA or whomever does something that insults my intelligence I will snap out of my kayfabe viewer mode and become a critic. That's kinda where I start to hold the product accountable. If it insults my intelligence or embarrasses me then I usually have some venom that's gonna spew on TPWW the next day.
