I think people have to get over the fact that Cena just isn't that good of a wrestler. He's very good to great at everything else. It's not like he's a terrible wrestler either. He's not a stiff he can move around, and if you put with someone who is good, and in the right situation ala Sunday Night everything is going to work out.
And it's fairly obvious that Cena is anything, but lazy. |

You can tell Chavo's bitter to a degree, but ultimately I think he wants the wrestling industry to reach it's potential. If that means calling Cena lazy in order to motivate him to improve in the ring, then so be it. Pretty much his comments have been fair and accurate about Cena. Sometimes having constructive critisizm is good for the top guys. It makes sure they do what's best for wrestling, which should matter more than "entertainment"... |

I think he more wants Chavo Guerrero to reach his potential, and unfortunately for him, I think he's already done that. Poor Chavito.

As far as his ring work being limited in WWE, so is everyone else's. Cena's too. I know I've enjoyed more Mysterio matches than Chavo matches, and now that I think about it, the same goes for Cena matches.

Unfortunately, since WWE didn't use him properly(as they did with several ECW, WCW and TNA guys), we can't say that for sure. It will be interesting to watch now that he can wrestle without as much limitation, to see if he can break through. To say he's reached his full potential would be like saying you have to make it in WWE to be successful. I'm sure plenty of ECW, WCW and TNA guys that flopped in WWE due to misuse would disagree...

In today's wrestling climate, I would say that you have to make it in WWE to be successful. It's the top game in town. He can be the TNA champion, and precisely no one will give a shit.

Sadly that's the whole truth right there. TNA champion is about the same as WWECW champion was.

According to that narrow minded kind of thinking, I guess all the wrestlers that don't make it in WWE suck??? That's a long ass list of former ECW, WCW and TNA wrestlers that WWE didn't think belonged on top either. Just being top dog in WWE doesn't make you great. Case and point:John Cena ![]() |

Chavo Guerrero is not a major player, OK? He's just not. That's what I'm trying to say to you right here and now.

How many of those wrestlers had open tweets telling Cena to man up? How many of those wrestlers think they are owed something because of their family?

Also, I think John Cena IS great. He can be lazy, but when he wants to be, he is great. He has shown it plenty of times, and I don't like that he's become the scapegoat for all of wrestling's problems. Lazy booking is what got us to the point we're at now with him, but the more I think about it, if Cena didn't have that superhuman run that he had for so long, things like this CM Punk angle would never have worked.

I thought the Kerwin White gimmick was racist. Terrible stereotyping like that.

Racist, yet the most interesting he's ever been. Playing a racist CHARACTER is OK...right, Shisen?

I enjoyed him very much with the Pepe gimmick, but I still knew that he wasn't a major player back then. If it were going to happen at all, it would have happened by now.

Also, I hope you ain't implying that I'm a racist character. My third favorite chick on saved by the bell was Lisa Turtle.

You have to wonder how much of that routine is his idea and how much he is told to do that, though.

Is he a major player now??? No, but to say he'll never be one is a very bold statement. And to claim his matches aren't as good as Cena's is laughable. Even limited, Chavo has had more quality work than Cena. Most all of Chavo's work on SD in the cruiserweight division was better than any Cena match. At least he occasionally does more than 4 shoulder blocks, Five Knuckle Shuffle, FU and STFU. Cena's routine and being considered a great worker is I think why most fans hate Cena. It's insulting to us fans to even suggest he's great. A great mic worker/entertainer? Maybe, but as far as wrestling goes, he has alot of room for improvement...

I think for the most part, they are given a time limit to work with and allowed to call it in the ring. If that theory is correct, then Cena himself would be to blame. If WWE tells him to do it, then they need to rethink their strategy(of course, that would be assuming they care). Then again, it's all entertainment now and not wrestling. If ever there was a statement that was fraudulent and misleading...

He is capable of being in great wrestling matches. Maybe he's not a technical wizard, but he's completely competent. He's just more of a 'brawler'. That doesn't make him worse than Chavo.
And I think that saying that Chavo WILL become a major player at this point in his career is a MUCH more bold statement, considering you're basing it on nothing at all. I'm at least taking the past into consideration. |

I'm not attempting to change your mind, as clearly you think he's a bitter has been. I disagree though, and think if he's pushed properly, he can be as good on top as anyone. There's a huge difference in saying he could be a major player one day and he will be though... |

Well give me credit for this prediction in the future:
Chavo Guerrero will never be a major player. |

People do know that Chavo is over 40, right?
His time is long gone, and again, he was only entertaining when Eddie was involved. |

Although Cena may not be limited in the ring, he sure takes the easy way out in most instances. I said it before and I'll say it again, he shows flashes of brilliance. His match with Punk and his one hour long match with HBK prove he can be great. The problem is, he doesn't perform consistently. So, I'd say Chavo saying he's lazy is fair and accurate. I personally don't think it's all Chavo being bitter. Sure, it is to an extent, but for the most part he told the truth about Cena. Nothing fans or even most wrestlers haven't said in the past. I do agree Chavo is pretty much past his prime, but he can still contribute to whatever wrestling organization he is in. Unlike Hogan, who's past his prime and can't contribute in a signifigant way. I also agree he isn't a major player, but he can be IMO if he's given the cnance... |
