7 Times John Cena Did Actually Give Up

It seems like he actually gave up a lot against Kurt Angle!

Much to the chagrin many a fan, John Cena is nigh on invincible. Aside from the SummerSlam trouncing from Brock Lesnar, it€™s difficult to remember the last time the 15-time world champion actually lost clean, thus making him one of the most protected WWE Superstars that we€™ve ever seen. But for every hardcore fan who winces at the sight of another SuperCena rally, there€™s just as many youngsters€”if not more€”who are clamouring for their hero to do what he does best and Never Give Up. Those three words have become the basis for Cena€™s mantra, his gimmick, and essentially his entire brand. The phrase has dominated on-screen storylines and company merchandise for years and years on end now, and given the nature of the current PG product, it€™s easy to see why. But for all the preaching that Cena sends our way, all the propaganda that Michael Cole feeds us, and all the hype that his myriad colourful t-shirts create, can the leader of the Cenation really say that he€™s stayed true to his mantra throughout his career? This article takes a look back at Cena€™s career, identifying seven moments that call into question the validity of his slogan and the very essence of his character. Marks and minors, look away now.
