I can admit when I'm wrong, you seem to be right on the PPV buyrate situation.
And no, I wasn't attacking you, I was attacking your opinion. About your smarmy little comment that RAW wasn't around when guys like Marty Janetty and Tito Santana were around(even though they both were in the WWF when RAW started. Marty in particuliar has been on RAW many, many times) it doesn't change the fact that the best wrestlers are not always the one's in the top spots of a company or promotion. Steamboat and Funk are two glaring examples of that, and for that degree so was Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid.
However you haven't addressed the main concern of the entire Cena arguement---the man is a terrible wrestler. He is simply not exciting to watch in the least. You always know what's going to happen in every match within the first five minutes---THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING! When guys like Rock, Austin, HHH, HBK, Bret Hart, Diesel, all were champs you never knew what was coming next. Perhaps you can blame that on the booking, but it doesn't change the fact that his wrestling ability, quite simply, is shit.
That is the foundation for every wrestling fan's hatred for John Cena. He is one of the worst men to ever step into a ring and tell a story. He has yet to participate in a single feud even halfway memorable. The only notable one was with Edge where they had a good TLC match, one of the few times I'll give Cena props for a job well done. And let's be honest, Edge carried that match. Had Cena ever even been in a ladder match before that? Edge is a veteran of what, twenty ladder matches?
Bottom line is that Cena's wrestling ability is something you can't debate about. It's crystal clear: watch every single match he's ever done if you like, and then compare it with any other main event wrestling in the WWE and you'll see how utterly terrible his quality of work is. Cena will only be remembered as a hack who was handed the ball to run with and was able to achieve moderate success because of an influx of younger fans flocking to the wrestling product and bringing us back to the days of Hulkamania. Only one thing though--- Hogan could entertain you. Cena just can't.
