| I hope the bashing continues and am totally fine with it. Somebody (I forget who...apologies) wrote about how hot this was making Cena's character.
He's a face but he's getting heal heat, and the company are not doing the obvious "let's turn him" thing. Now this is probably just because they not a single jot of an idea what to do with him, however, let's be generous. Let's presume somebody is seeing these reactions, hearing how it's making people on the net talk, reading about how black and white people are in their thoughts about the the guy, and thinking "this is actually getting people talking about the Championship"....how good is that.
And it is. Everybody has their opinions on the guy, nothing is crystal clear. He has his fans, but most hate him, and he's a face and he's your world champion. That sort of situation doesn't come round too often and I like to think that somebody up there is seeing the reactions and letting it play out.
As for his in ring skills. I'm all down with the talented, athletic guys getting the push, but Cena is not (and has never been) flat out horrible. He's a very average wrestler, yes, but he's not Henry or Snitsky or something that just flat out sucks up a show. Factor in his mic skills and the way he plays his character (and also how fucking hard the guy worked over the last year or two, anyone who's seen his schedule should be impressed, the guy has worked and travelled his butt off. |
