Here is something I just don't get
Why does on screen/story line management hate John Cena? I mean I could understand Coach doesn't like him because Coach has been there since Bischoff. And Bischoff hated Cena, and since Coach was Bischoffs assistant, Coach could still not like Cena for any other reason than that. But what about McMahon? There isn't much reason for them to be hostile towards each other.

Also, I'm not so sure the characters really hate Cena. They've just seen him go through so much that they're trying to think of creative ways to dethrone him...I guess....I dunno...

His first title reign lasted 280 days, from April 3rd, 2005 (Won at WrestleMania 21 from J.B.L.) to January 8th, 2006 (Lost at New Years Revolution to Edge). Between his first and second title reigns the amount of time Cena spent without the gold around his belt was 21 days (3 weeks exactly.) His second title reign lasted just 133 days, from January 29th, 2006 (Won at Royal Rumble 2006 from Edge) to June 11th, 2006 (Lost to Rob Van Dam at ECW One Night Stand 2006). Between his second, and currently, third title reigns, the amount of time Cena spent without the gold around his waist was 119 days (17 weeks, or 4Ύ months exactly.) So far, in his current run with the title, John Cena has, as of today, held the WWE Championship for 344 days If Cena survives his WWE Unforgiven match next month, and makes it the next hour and 15 minutes or so until the following day (September 17th), it will be Cena's 1 year anniversary with the WWE Championship (boo!) As of today, John Cena has held the WWE Championship for the past 757 out of 861 days, or roughly 88% of the last 2 years, 4 months, 1 week and 4 days. Edge held it for 97 of those 861 days, or roughly 9-11% of that time period, and Rob Van Dam held it for an all-too-brief 22 of the past 861 days, or roughly 2-4% of that time period. Hope you found that insightful. |

Since Austin/McMahon, Vince hates the guy that makes him the most money I guess.

I don't really give a shit if you guys like Cena or not, but the fact remains he will go down as a legend. Call me a fool or a mark, whatever I like what I want to like. Cena is a solid wrestler who consistantly puts on the best matches on the show, if you say im wrong, well how about you look at every ppv he has main evented in the last nine months and prove me wrong.
Rumble 07 vs Umaga - best match aside from the Rumble possibly NYR vs Umaga - again, best match No Way Out w/HBK vs Batista and Taker best match WM vs HBK best match and so on and so on... And its Jordan, retard. |

You can say Cena doesn't have anything to do with his good matches, but if you look at all of the different people he has had good matches with, you have to figure that he's doing something right.

He's more than substantial for a brawler. It's not that he's not talented. It's just that he's not flashy. It's just not his style.
What I don't understand is how people didn't hate Hogan like this back in the day. |

He throws good punches, he plays to the crowd well, his offense looks believable , and he brushes his shoulder VERY clean before dropping fists on peoples heads.

A real sport? Hogan couldn't wrestle his way INTO a paper bag, and he was getting great reactions for the longest fucking time. He STILL gets great reactions, which is beyond me. Cena is FAR more talented than Hogan.
You're right, though. Hogan was losing his appeal before the nWo, but I'm pretty sure he had been around YEARS more than Cena. Do you guys think that a Cena heel turn would have the same effect on Cena that it did on Hogan? It seems to me people have already made up their minds that they don't want to like Cena, no matter what he does. |

If Cena became a superheel he could be the biggest thing. But they dont' want Cena to be a character.

I have no doubt Cena's only doing it because he's a professional. Though it's dishgeartening that a professional would smile and wave while fans were turned away in droves, but that's not really my call.
