Wait a minute: John Cena KILLS The Rock and it gets ignored?

Whatever man, Cena still might be the only man in history to actually one-up The Rock on the mic, give credit where credit is due.

OK in all honesty I'm still giving this one to The Rock for a few reasons, first of

Its one thing to "diss" someone in a rhyme scheme its quite another to lay into someone by just talking which is what Rock did it takes a certain quick wit to have clever put downs in casual speaking format. Not saying rapping is easy, putdowns (or at least Cenas) arent as jarring as they would be if he was simply addressing the crowd.

Second ALL of Cenas material is predictable and lacks any real creativity

example a typical Cena putdown goes like this (in deep wigger voice) blah

blah blah homosexual joke blah blah blah rhyme referencing my balls/and or anus blah blah blah something that rhymes with you cant see me.

the only point that actually stung was the "seven yrs we couldn't see u"part
the rest was Cena by the numbers IMO.

Oh yea as far as films go Rock could always point out that Cenas Films make sure that straight to dvd bin is at least half full.

Seriously? I couldn't be laughing any harder right now.

First of all, using a rhyme scheme is much harder. Maybe you're slow witted, but throwing out one liners and otherwise laying into someone just by talking is painfully simple. Jesus, go to a junior high school, everyone there excels at it.

Second, you're accusing Cena of using formulaic promos? Rock is probably one of the worst in those regards. He had 14 catch phrases, and his promos were the most formulaic wrestling promos I can ever remember watching in roughly the past 20 years, week after week. The Rock, simply put, is boring. And yes, he always was. There was virtually no diversity when he spoke. His charismatic delivery is the only thing that saved him.

Now, I understand full well the promos are written and approved, but the problem is this -- you're criticizing one man for his promos being A - B - C when the man you're defending is one of the worst formula-based promo men there is.

You can't honestly tell me Rock's promos weren't painfully predictable before he left 7 years ago.
