I was just surfing wikipedia and I realized that Cena is on his 4th world title run. I could have sworn it was like his 10th or are his reigns just that long?

The reason people hate Halo is because it was terribly over hyped and is in fact, quite an average game. The only reason Halo made it to where it was is because it came out on a system, that at the time, had no games. Thus it was championed because it was just a little above average.

They're only long cause the WWE has gotten us used to these crazy short title reigns. I'm way more pissed edge's last reign was only 30 days than I am Cena held it for like, 11 months or so.

I would say he's bland only insofar as he's pushed in a very bland fashion. The guy's charismatic and very capable of wrestling; he's just being asked to play a guy who doesn't sell and knows five moves. He showed variety and psychology early on, and I doubt he's forgotten all that recently.
So I would say his bland, but that relates to the obnoxious way he's been pushed. |

I'd blame Cena just to see Destor's head explode. I wanna look inside and see what meth does to your brain.

WWE Title first reign 280 days (9.5 months) second reign 133 days (4.5 months third reign 380 days 12.5 months number of reigns 3 - 793 days (2 years 2 months 3 days) World Title Won November 23rd - 44 days given the length of his other reigns, he will lose it at Summerslam (my guess) |

My problem with Cena is his lack of any kind of real, intense edge to his character. He's said it before in interviews: nobody writes lines for him - they give him the basics of what they want him to say and he goes out and does his own thing. That's the problem. His "own thing" is often vanilla white icing. Yeah, it's good - tastes good, looks good - but it's bland as all fuck, and god damn it, it's on top of the cake and that's what we're going to get.
For example, "Cena is Poopy" is still fucking unforgivable to me, and I'm willing to bet that it was his fucking call to write that shit. Just awful. Austin had edge - Rock had edge - Triple H had edge - Sting had edge - hell, even Samoa Joe has more of an edge than John Cena. I don't truly blame the guy for this - I think that edge and that "cool factor" are part of who you are as a human being, and Cena simply doesn't have that. |

If cenas gimmick was the same as it was on smackdown with the "freestyles" and inuendos it would have had more steam. It seems that around the time he won his first world title he got toned down to generic grinning good guy.
Vinces's "bag o' gimmicks" must be getting pretty thin on originality, if it ever had any to begin with. |

I will say again, I do not have any problem with John Cena as a person. He's a good worker with talent and has respect for the business. But, his storylines are boring, his gimmick is bland, and he needs freshened up like nobody's business. They've spent too much time making him Stone Cold 2 instead of Cena 1.

I see Cena as a hybrid of Austin, Rock and Hogan. He's got the "edge" of Austin, the "snappiness" of Rock and the "wholesome image" of 80's Hogan.
Unfortunately, it's not a good recipe. As I've said in the past, Cena has everything he needs to be over at around an Austin or a Rock level but the writing and general image of the company is keeping him back. |

I like the bad ass characters, but Cena I just don't buy as one of those. Back before he won the title he was that character. And here I thought it was just UPN that was toning him down. Things were supposed to be different when he was moved to RAW, it just didnt pan out that way.
