Did Cena job left and right? I seem to remember him being frustratingly well protected. I'd probably make more of a case for protecting him now, because wins and losses do matter (and for those saying booking is a large part of the problem -- that is a large part of booking), if the timing of his elevation was right. He felt really jammed in there at the time, and I remember being off the Cena train well before he was originally given the title and had as long a reign as JBL.

He's always lost way more than any other face of the company. It started slowly around the time he went to Raw but then eventually he was losing more PPV matches than he was winning which is just unheard of for a top face.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the SOLE reason. His booking has been shitty outside of that. But having him job so much is absolutely the biggest fuck up.

Reigns jobs a lot for a top face, too. They made some mistakes early with him that fucked up his character but then it's like they tried to get people on his side by making him take a lot of "harmless" losses and it's just a retarded strategy. Your top face looking weak half the time and then winning a "big one" here and there doesn't endear people to him.

Basically, it's the 50/50 bullshit. The effects are just more noticable with the guys who are being shoved down people's throats as the major stars even though they lose about as much as they win.

I think the problem was them trying to have Babyface Cena against Heel Angle, right after the "Booing the Retard" Feud Angle just had. The fans refused to boo Angle, even after he did everything short of setting a bag of puppies on fire and stomping it out to get heat.

Then, from there, it was the Cena-only show. No one got to successfully be a decent star on their own. Anyone who comes close got their legs chopped out from under them, be it by Cena's ego, shit booking, or a combination.

Seriously, They didn't make Big Bossman look like an idiot during Hulkamania. They didn't make Savage look stupid (well, apart from those two Royal Rumble flubs he did). Foley wasn't made to be a complete buffoon while Austin was on top (he had goofy moments, but wasn't made to look like he couldn't beat his meat).
