I definitely have to disagree, while I can understand not liking his gimmick, I can definitely say he still seems passionate about the things he does, and to hate on how nice he is towards kids is a pretty low blow IMO.
Passion is something scoffed at, in this day and age. This is the age of apathy, where people follow something, and the moment it no longer benefits them, they abandon it.
Cena is consistent. He seems to throw himself into everything he does, and this is mocked in today's society by the apathetic. You are not allowed to care too much about anything, anymore.
I mean, just look at this site. People, claiming to be fans, instead of talking about what they love about wrestling, instead criticize it, to pretend that they don't like it, so as to look cool to others here. Passion is seen as taking things too seriously, and being obsessed. We are told to be "laid back" and "chill out", not throw ourselves, heart and soul, into everything.
Maybe people here see Cena as obsessive because he is the ultimate fanboy. He talks about WWE and wrestling with the excitement of a little kid. You can tell that he was a fan as a child, and is living his dream. However, people here prefer people like C.M. Punk or "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who can take wrestling or leave it. They like people who put themselves before the company.
Cena is probably seen as the "teacher's pet", the boss's favourite, because he does whatever WWE want him to do. He sees this as being a loyal employee. The OP and others see it as being a "brown-noser".
The OP accuses John Cena of not being sincere. That's funny, because insincerity is what I thought was valued here. Cena's sincere passion is what you people criticise, is it not?
