Why do people want to change him? He's consistently the most over guy on the roster. he gets reactions from everyone, the people who boo him love to boo him or they wouldn't watch, wouldn't go to shows, and wouldn't want him to turn heel (which would make him cool to like).
He does great at what he does. If they turn the volume up, then it would get annoying to the general audience and become cool to the smarks.
No matter what he does, he's going to get a split reaction and he works it. It's fine. You wouldn't say "you know, that Dodge Viper is a fast car, let's rebuild it" would you?
Buyrates are in the toilet. Punk outsells him in merchandise.
2.9 anyone?
CM Punk would like to have a word with you when you get a chance.
don't be a quitter
"Cena sucks, Cena sucks!"
They hate it because they find it corny and are tired of it. Also because they can't change it.
To quote CM PUnk, Vince McMahon is a millionaire that could be a billionaire if only he would take some sound advice that didn't match his own opinion once in a while. John Cena is the poster boy for 2.9's. Freshen him up some. Why not?
I don't have to accept a damn thing. They can ignore the ratings, the buyrates, and the crowd begging to see something different. When the ratings finally nosedive off a canyon, they WILL change John Cena.
I'm just presenting a way to do it.
You're a fucking moron for saying ratings are in the toilet. I don't mean that as an insult, I mean it as a perfect abjective. They are STILL always near the top in their timeslot. The number doesn't matter. If you even consider comparing today's ratings to 10 year ago, blow what little brains you have in your head out now because you don't use them. read my sig. It makes NO SENSE for them to be the same. There are more options, market share is divided up more. Also, Punk outsold him in merch.....once. Punk has been hot for 3 months, let's see if he can do it for years at a time. This is coming from someone who knew of Punk BEFORE ROH.
Same thing with PPV buys. Why pay for it when you can watch for free? the only people who still buy PPVs, have a fairly inelastic demand and so the difference between 30 dollar and 60 isn't much to them, so WWE charges 60.
Do you not understand economics or business or even fucking logic? People who stream PPVs aren't going to stop watching for FREE just because the price is lowerd and you can only lower the price so much before it's not profitable.
CM Punk says John Cena is a great wrestler and would probably admit that feuding with John Cena is a huge part as to why Punk is as over as he is now. Punk has also been hot for about 3 months, Cena has been hot for about 8 years. Get your mouth off Punk's dick and think objectively and not like a smark.
Cena sucks chants. that's awesome, better than what John *flushes toilet* Morrison gets.
Here are the facts with cena. He draws a lot and he sells a lot of merch and people make a lot of noise for him.
So either the people who boo him love to boo him or they aren't as big of a segment as it seems and don't matter.
If smarks were so smart, they wouldn't watch cena's segment, they wouldn't make noise when he came out. they aren't though, they are worked into an emotional response just like anyone else.
Are you such a fucking mark that you quoted a PROMO? O wait, it was TEH SHOOTZ. So, CM Punk, the same CM Punk who was acting buddy buddy with HHH on Raw, the same CM Punk who, if you ever talked to him or watched on of his shoot or thought critically LOVES to work people and is smart (knowing his audience is smarks, what is he going to "shoot" about?), is also CM Punk who feels the exact way the IWC feels? That's bullshit. Punk is smart, he might have some of those feelings, but Punk also knows that saying stuff that the IWC feels would stir up shit.
They aren't ignoring the ratings, you are. You are looking at shit that doesn't matter. They are looking at the numbers realistically and from a modern perspective. 2.9 isn't bad. Name another weekly TV show that runs year-round and has for years and ALWAYS ranks in the top of their timeslot. there isn't one. You are a moron because you compare 2.9 in 2011 to 6.0 in 1999. Anyone who compares any hard business numbers from 10 years apart without adjusting for changes in the market needs to have their head examined. They aren't ignoring the buyrate, that's why they increased the price, because they realize that the cheaper buyers won't buy no matter what because free streaming is cheaper than anything they can produce. they aren't ignoring the audience because they are smarter than you and they realize that the reaction Cena gets, when people boo him with smiles on their face and continue to talk about him, boo him, show up to shows, and watch his segments, they realize that people LOVE to BOO him.
This isn't 2005 anymore. I believe it was all the way back in 2008 when bryan alvarez, one of the head smarks said "if you don't think John Cena is a good wrestler, you lose all credibility". Here it is 2011 and you're still spewing out the same bullshit IWC response? Get with the times and open your eyes.

O look, raw is 3rd on monday behind 2 non-recurring events (monday night football isn't yearly and a Yankee playoff game).
And really, if we're being serious. Even dumber than looking at the number, is using cable ratings in general as a gauge. I don't know of anyone except college students in apartment who have cable anymore. A lot of those don't even have cable, they're like me and watch everything online. So instead of using an outdated measure, why don't you count up the youtube, dailymotion, etc views, the cable views, and just about every other way to view it. By all means of media exposure the WWE is really really healthy and their balance sheet (yes you can actually find that, it's not a work, they really are a publicly traded company) and look at their real numbers. Or...or..you can go to WWE corporate and look at their annual reports. Or...or...you can compare the numbers to something relevant, like other episodic TV shows and see how they destroy just about everybody. Or I guess you could continue to pretend it's the height of cable like 1999 and use those measures. I mean you probably still have dial up, probably still have a big cell phone, probably still own a playstation 1. You must be some sort of late 90s collector or something. To compare ratings of today to then is dumb. To use ratings as the only means of judging popularity is stupid. Why don't people get that? Do you judge a car's value based on how fast the wipers are only? Do you think the Yankees would make as much money if they played in Lincoln, nebraska? That's essentially the same logic as thinking "ZOMG 2.9 they used to get 6s".
