The insensitivity and callousness of most of the responses here hurts my head almost as much as my heart. Cena may have the money, the clout, the job he wants, etc etc but that has nothing to do with the way you are embraced or rejected by the fans. For a guy who has noticeably worked so hard to improve for the company and the fans he loves to receive such animosity with so little to warrant such a reaction gives a pretty pathetic reflection of the IWC. It makes you all look like stubborn children unwilling to admit you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
The kids like him so it seems you must reject him as a result because "That's not Cool". As a seething fire breathing IWC person you have to like the "Bad Guys" to be cool right? No. Give this guy his credit, he works as hard or harder than anyone else and deserves his spot. I was at one time the biggest Cena Hater of them all probably, but everything has it's expiration date and so did my dislike of Cena. All I had to do was watch with an unbiased eye over time. His work ethic, his massive improvements in the ring, and his loyalty to the company won me over. It didn't hurt that he is very good on the mic too. It took me a while but I warmed up to him and once the blinders were off I could see what Vince and the rest of the WWE sees in this guy; the embodiment of a champion.
The chants at F4W were shocking and unexpected. At one point you could hear all the kids chanting "Let's Go Cena" and then all the adult males chanting "Cena Sucks" back and fourth like a yelling match between 30,000 people. To be John Cena in the ring at that moment had to be "bittersweet" to say the least. Here was his most loyal fans and his greatest critics all letting him hear it at once. I would ask any of you to face the kind of hate that John Cena gets without warrant. I bet you'd be feeling pretty sorry for yourself when you've devoted your life to something you love and people hate you for it no matter what you try to do to win them over. Whether you become one of the most solid wrestlers in the business, one of the best and most entertaining on the mic, win championships, put people over, speak for the fans interests, devote most of your free time to your fans and critics, they still hate you without remorse. Try those shoes on for a while and see how you like it.
No amount of money can ease the pain of being rejected and hated, period. I feel pretty bad for the guy because despite all his efforts and improvements, contributions and sacrifices, many of you are so hell bent on "Hating Cena" you don't even take the time to think for yourselves and come to your own conclusion. You read the responses that say "Fuck Cena, he's got money and fame" So you follow suit like a sheep. He tries to give you every reason to like him, and you hate him for it, I don't get it. All I know is that you peoples reaction to him and your reasoning for this hate are cheap, vain, and pathetic much like most of you.
