The John Cena problem

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

So before we get into the Cena bashing, which will eventually go down, let's get one thing out of the way... John Cena is actually a good worker. That has been proven on multiple occassions. Sure, some of the stuff he does isn't technically sound (aka all the stuff) but seriously, he can go hold for hold with ANY worker in the company, latest evidence of that is CM Punk.

Now this doesn't mean I look forward to Cena matches because they can be pretty yawn worthy. They follow a formula an it's a lot of smoke and mirrors and part of it is lazy booking, part of it is lazy Cena. But he consistantly gets the crowd into his matches more than anyone other than probably the undertaker right now, and when need be, he works pretty hard.

His problem is two things, at least with our demographic... it's his lame ass attire and his lame ass jokes. Seriously I wouldn't imagine two things so minor could ruin such a talented guy for me. But seriously, I don't know if it's him TRYING to be funny and make the 10 year ols love him, but noone can sap the starch out of an intense promo like John Cena. Seriously, does he want to be the next Rock?

When a heel is out there like the Miz, laying the goods down in a promo, and Cena comes out there talking about bad breath and bowel movements... has it EVER WORKED? Really? Has it? I just don't understand the point of it. He's always so damned smarmy and unrelatable to any normal human being. Also what kills me about it, is he is one of the most competent guys on the mic in the whole company, he has the ability to captivate an audience like very few do, and he chooses to squander it on these weak jokes that don't really make sense.

Seriously if he had the most mild edge in his promos and avoided the shitty jokes that he seems to feel there is this undying need to tell... would you like him? I honestly think I would....

......Apart from his attire. He is a grown ass man in his 30s, well I think so at least, yet he dresses like I did when I was 13. Or MMA forum mod Kris P Lettus (for those who don't know Kris P, it's not a good look)...so I just don't understand. One can still maintain the urban flavour he looks to keep, without dressing like he's barely hit puberty. I just don't get it. He can appeal to kids without dressing like a kid and telling fart jokes.


So tpww, Gorgeous Dale Newstead asks you, if Cena did away with these 2annoying nuiances in his character... would you like him more? Because seriously, I wouldn't mind "Cena Wins" AT ALL if he wasn't such a smarmy jackass with terrible fashion sense. 2 very simple things to change are they not?
