Too bad your hatred is no different than the fanboys who love him.

See just john, you actually made a point there. However, I wouldn't take Cena v. Big Show as a prime example. When you're wrestling somebody that big, you HAVE to pull out different moves. He can't just toss the Big Show around like nothing, and it wouldn't look right for Show to be floored by a clothesline. During Cena's championship tenure, I think he was mostly just repetitive on Raw, but his PPV matches were as good as they'd ever been from him.

I kinda meant the end, considering Cena wasn't as over then as he is now, just an FU would ruin the match, no one would buy that, but the part with the brass knucks and the chain distraction was pretty damn innovative, at least when he isnt expected to win all the time you can see some pretty cool shit on his behalf, I just think Cena needs to step down and heel it up, he needs the equivilent of Hogans' nWo turn.

He can't have that now, though. When Hogan did it, EVERYBODY was a Hogan fan. Now if he turned heel, he'd probably get the same mixed reaction, only the people that booed before might start to cheer and vice versa.

If Cena would've turned heel as SOON as he won the title, I would've loved that.

Yeah, he needs a fued with someone the marks and possibly 'smarks' detest, then just snap it up and get them to join forces in some kinda plot twist.

I really don't think there's anybody who could do that for him at press time.

The major problem I have with Cena's character is that they haven't booked him to lose clean in so long, I actually can't remember the last time that occured. Let's look at some of his opponents within the last year or so:
Chris Jericho Kurt Angle Edge HHH RVD All of these are arguably Hall of Fame wrestlers/superstars. Cena's character is booked as "unorthodoxed", "not technically sound", "street fighter", etc. Would it really kill him to lose a fucking match and, oh...I don't know, admittedly learn something from these ring veterans? The fact that he's booked OVER and OVER again in superman fashion over these calibur opponents is bullshit. All the opponents I have mentioned have lost clean within the time frame Cena moved to Raw, why can't he? That would make him more human and give his matches a hint of realism that he's sorely missing IMO. "Same old shit" sums it up perfectly. |

Yeah, sometimes I hate smarks, they complain about wrestling but dont do anything, at least marks are buying shit, which keeps WWE alive.
I think WWE tried to appeal to the smarks when they thought "Hmm, smarks like technical wrestlers, lets give him a submission hold to use alot" when really, it just doesnt fit Cena. If Cena was such a brawler that he's made out to be he should use it alot more, people would still cheer him, and it would make his character seem more real. Cena fighting dirty doesnt automatically make him a heel. |

Actually, you know that Vis thing got me thinking, You know he wears that big PVC coat thing, is that even allowed? I mean, there is restrictions on attire, guys like the hardy boyz and the undertaker have bypassed it because it helps their image, but Vis doesnt really have an image, and if he does, is it important enough to be allowed to wear it?

OK, what the fuck are you talking about? If you mean the dress code, that only applies to being in public. You can wear whatever you want in the ring.

The more I think about it, all Cena would have to do is kick the shit out of Lilian for the heel turn and team up with Vis/Haas. "Yo, quit dissin' my niggaz Mexitease!" Then after Lita costs Edge his title, he could beat the botch out of her and join with Vis, Haas and Cena. They could be a wife beater faction. See, this is practically writing itself! (I better add a... )

I don't think Cena would be getting a mixed reaction had they turned him heel. He was already essentially a heel, and they went on to cheer him for it, because he was entertaining. Even as a face, it didn't bother people that much, until they decided to ram him down our throats.
It really is the "force fed" phenomenon that everyone hates. The fact that he's gone from being a brilliant heel to a boring face doesn't help matters much, but I don't think it matters much either way anyway. The WWE fans said, "we like strawberry ice cream." WWE said "We're giving you vanilla." WWE fans said, "Oh well, ice cream's ice cream." So they ate, and then WWE proceded to take it and shove it down the fans' throats. Now the fans are sick, fat, and in jeopardy of losing a foot to diabetes. |

Because it is Cenas image to wear that stuff, same with others, there is more in the acceptable range than in the unacceptable range

And the WWE is FULL of characters. Are you trying to say that you must dress the code unless it fits your character? That's silly. Anybody can have a character and make a case for wearing whatever in the ring. In that sense, there are no restrictions. It sounds like you're saying there's a dress code for people who have no personality whatsoever.
On a side note, remember Goldust back when he was in his REALLY weird phase with Luna? He wear the most cracked out shit of all time. |

Sure, but he doesn't even wear metal anymore. He wears pajamas. It is a part of his character, though.. The World's Largest Love Machine.

There's no real dress code. You wear a costume, but a costume can be anything from jeans to S&M. I'd imagine some things are banned, but don't tell us that jeans are banned or that there's a strict code of dress, when it's clear there is not. |

John Cena picked up his 100th victory in 2006 by defeating Viscera on Monday Night Raw. For those who really want to get detailed with this, Cena's record is 100-14-1 in 115 matches.
^---That's what I dislike. I hate supermen. Wether it's John Cena, Triple H, Hugo Fabuki or the Man in the Moon, I can't stand indestructible people. |

You can't tape butcher knives to your attire unless your gimmick is a chef.

That loss to Edge at NYR was clean....techincally. I mean sure it was following an Elimination Chamber, but the decision in the match that started immediately afterwards was untainted.

But they kept pushing it like Cena was supposed to lose. How Angle was more talented as a wrestler. How Triple H was the same way. They were TRYING to make him an underdog, but they just did a shit job of it. |
