I guess so Lara, I fight on it because I am really enjoying WWE right now, in basically every way and I wish other people would as well. But you know everyone has an opinion and it's the right one for them so I'll just let it go. I'm enjoying WWE the most I have since I was a kid at the moment, and I felt if I could say how I feel maybe others might think the same way.

Cena matches are consistently entertaining and deliver, and he doesn't win at every PPV anymore.
That's just something people say. I'm pretty much sick of hearing those complaints. He's by no means my favorite performer on the show, but he doesn't bother me at all. I find most of what he's been doing over the past year or so to be damn good. His joking is forced sometimes but not enough to really upset me. Honestly, some of The Rock's later promos have started to seem that way to me as well, when watching them again. The attire and stuff doesn't bother me at all. |

People don't give him enough credit for his athleticism. He's quick for a guy his size. His biggest problem is he just looks awkward in some of the moves he hits. He's definitely not the excellence of execution.
His matches always have the ability to captivate an audience, that is what I like about him. And he works hard out there for the most part. I dunno I just can't get past how fucking corny he is hahaha, it honestly kills me. I think my problem is I love guys who seem more natural in their roll. Cena's promos don't seem natural, sometimes it doesn't seem like he believes what the hell he's doing, he's just doing it because he was asked to. In one sense I commend him for being a company man, in another sense it leads to some horrible promos. |

I agree about some of the promos, but the storylines and matches allow me to live with it.
This fall I was ready to pull my hair out with Orton as champion. His matches and feuds just bore me more and more by the month. Especially when he's "on top." I couldn't wait to get more Cena/Barrett, or now Cena/Punk. |

He's won or been made to looks strong in every PPV since. Fuck he even got fired and came back the next night looking awesome, he also looked awesome getting fired. Let's review 2010 Lost at RR, last eliminated Won title at EC lost to Bats Won title at WM Beat Bats in rematches in April and May Lost in June and July cause of Nexus Won in August as the sole survivor of the nexus match Lost in Sept due to interference but totally got booked to be even stronger and more annoying the next fucking night Won in Oct and got to screw over Barrett making him look kinda stupid Got the last laugh in Nov getting fired but screwing Barrett over and looking even stronger and more annoying the next night. Buried all of Nexus for a bit in Dec fighting all of them off and then literally burying Barrett. So in 12 PPVs he lost cleanly once and that was in a Royal Rumble Match. So let's not pretend the SuperCena thing is dead, it isn't, even when Cena loses he wins. |

He's the top guy. He's being the booked the same way Austin, Rock, and Triple H were in their time. What I'm saying is that the storylines are more flexible now and it's not (to me) anywhere near as bad as 2006-7.
He's definitely the strongest on the show, and the centerpiece of the roster, but I don't feel like it's as unbearable as it may have been at one time. At all. |

His storylines are much better, he just needs to quit the cutesy crap. It completely takes the steam out of the heels he's working with. I mean really, chances are they're losing anyways, the least he can do is pretend like he may be worried.

Maybe I've just learned to deal, or changed my tune as a fan a bit. I've been pretty thrilled with a lot of the writing and direction lately, and Cena has been the least of any concerns.
Perhaps I'm easily pleased right now, but I am content with him going over Punk or whoever, as long as the match and storyline deliver. For the moment. It also helps that there are a lot of other players on the show that have me very interested. |

The CM Punk feud will be great no matter what happens. Both guys are too good for it not to be, and it seems like Cena has a lot of respect for Punk, and gave him A LOT of respect in the ring when they worked together.

This, his attitude killed the post fired portion of his fued with Nexus, I mean he almost single handedly killed Nexus. Mostly through his goofy miw work, and stupid booking.

The aftermath of the Nexus war/firing definitely was blown off too easily/quickly. I don't disagree at all.
I think bringing Punk into the mix was key to getting past that mistake without it feeling too abrupt. |

The problem is that this Superman needs a credible Doomsday.
A Steamboat to his Flair, if you will. He needs a credible threat to make him have to reel in some of the sappy silliness. Those 10 year olds aren't going to stay 10 year olds forever, and they'll start thinking he's cheesy, stale, and stupid. He could be the same basic character, just *tweak it a little. Give him a bit of serious edge. Grant him an opponent he has to fear and respect, and knows to beat this guy, steady streams of poopie and gay jokes aren't going to get the job done. That was the appealing edge to the heel Cena and rebel Cena. He needs another moment like his feud with Lesnar, where he first used the That one pale "fella" could have worked, but then they dropped him into the chicken-shit heel role instead of continuing the ruthless monster angle. Miz could have been that, but they derailed the feud. Nexus could have served that purpose, but... yeah, we see what happened there. They went from beating him down en masse to becoming Cena's comedy relief. As for the attire, it works for him. The problem here is he doesn't really switch anything up. He gets another color scheme for his merch, so his hat/bands/shirt look different for a year. Same shorts and shoes. He just needs to *tweak. He's "shorts guy" who doesn't wear long pants even in places with snow on the ground. Maybe, wear black jeans or something with the design stitching. Switch up his shoes a bit. Something a tad different. He doesn't have to go back to wrestling shorts, or switch to tights or start wearing a singlet. *Thank you, Mick Foley! |

It's also much easier to keep on top when they book you to make everyone else look like a retard.
But wait I forgot you don't listen to reason and you troll the wrestling forum. Would rather you weren't even in this thread because you annoy me. |

Wrong. It's only annoying that he wears a t-shirt and shorts and that he uses a script. Other than that, he's a good worker.

I have not raised any points regarding John Cena's in-ring ability.
I was merely pointing out the idiocy of Newstead's contradictions. |

It's more what he CAN be. I've seen him go hold for hold with certain guys, and I've seen him be really lame, awkward and lazy. I've seen him tear the house down with a promo, but I've also seen him be completely unrelatable. At the end of the day, you're a GDN hater, so what you say has no merit. |
