Cena with no title

[mtg712]

now look what you guys have done. you wanted him to wrestle, he did, and screwed his muscles up. you guys know he cant wrestle and you pushed him into it and now look. i hope you guys are ashamed of yourselves.

note this is sarcasm.

I for one am truly ashamed of myself. Cena without a title is like a dog without a bone.

I was gonna say, everyone knocks John cena, and everyone rips into him for what? the guy goes out every night and gives it his best for us(the fans) and a lot of people rip into him, why? whats cena ever done? its not his fault that he has held the belt for so long? does he write the shows? does he write the paper views? NO HE DOES NOT, so guys no more hating cena, just show him the respect he deserves. I can see at no mercy it being Orton v Kennedy with vince screwing orton.

I couldnt agree more. I will never understand people h8ing on Cena. He DOES deserve to be a champion HE DOES deserve the fans respect and HE DOES deserve credit with the effort he puts day in day out for us fans especiall when HHH was injured.

I agree whole heartedly, and 'm actually surprised theres so many fans not riping on Cena right now. I did notice however that just about every fan that HAS ripped on Cena since monday was a noob to the foroms. I think that ripping on Cena wasn't about all of us disliking him, it was more of a group brainwashing. I know before I joined the forums, I liked Cena, but all of "you" made me look at him differently, at least for a while.

Anyone that says Cena ruins RAW, watch RAW in three week. I bet the ratings will be no higher than they are now. Then whos the ratings killer?

Thank god.....i hate cena....i like Jeff Hardy now he's the real deal......but i also like batista alot.......hes awsome. I would love it for a match to be like where all three world champs get together and battle it out
and the winner gets all three titles

John Cena is part of the reason I don't watch wrestling anymore. (In fact if Save-Us222 and Saviour_Self hadn't come along, I'd still be ignorant of it). He just reminds me of everything I hated about wrestling as a young kid (in the 80's Rock N Wrestlign era). He has one thing on the mic he does over and over again (the whole "I'm the tough guy, you want some come get some"), he soaks up beatings and bounces off them. I swear, the man is the modern day Hulk Hogan. Bottom line: He's not that good. Other bottom line: He was better as a heel. Maybe I'm spoiled. I came up through the Attitude era of Austin, HHH, and the Rock. Maybe it's unreasonable to expect the charisma and overall skill of those three men.

I think pro wrestling is in a lull right now. It reminds me of the time between about 1990-1995. It's waiting for the next big star (Like Austin was back them) to blow up and take thigs over. Orton is too self destructive. HHH is too old. To be honest, I don't know if we know who that guy is. The next big name that's going to put wrestling back on the map. And it may be too late. Most of those old wrestling fans have moved on to MMA. Who knows? I don't.

I think it was time anyways to let someone else be the Champ, he will get his spot again, let some one else shine in the limelight for a while. In my opinon Kennedy,Orton, Taker, Both Hardys, Umaga, and oh by the way it has been a while since we heard HHH as the champ. I see Kennedy turning face this weekend, we will have to see.

I really enjoyed this quote SD81. While I didn't agree with your entire post, I totally see where you are coming from. The fact is, Wrestling fans are super-loyal people who (usually) turn on the same program each week in hopes of something new, something to talk about. Lately, the only mainstream attention wrestling has gotten has been for injuries, steroids, and deaths. Wrestling fans try to carry that flag no matter what.

I think that's why I valued Cena so much. Bear in mind, I am a self-described Cena ambivalent. I neither love nor loathe the man. I respect him, his dedication, and his skills. Seeing him go down this way is a step backwards, not forwards.

To address the issue of who the "next big star is." That's a HUGE problem right now. Many of the last few "big stars" have used professional wrestling to catapult themselves into other careers (i.e. The Rock in movies, Chris Jericho in music). Some get injured (Austin, Edge) and some make stupid choices (Orton, Kennedy). You are totally right about Orton's self-destruction and HHH's age. So who is the next big star?

I say John Morrison. Young, talented, in great shape. Plus, unlike the Carlitos, Shelton Benjamins, and Chris Masters of the world, Morrison seems to have more dedication to his craft.

The next big "star" also needs to be manufactured the way Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, and Booker T were - start with a strong tag team presence and allow them to explode onto the mid-card scene, then to the major leagues. I still wonder if Lance Cade has it in him.
