Lets go, Cena! CENA SUCKS! If youre a WWE fan, youve no doubt noticed that the fanbase is split right down the middle when it comes to John Cena. The fans that love him consider him to be this eras Rock, or Hogan or Austin (delete as applicable). To them, John Cena is a paragon of charisma and virtue, a pillar of strength and dependability. On the flipside, the fans that hate Cena so rabidly tend to regard him as a mediocre wrestler who has never had the drawing power or it factor to hold the biggest belt in pro wrestling, to them, hes a travesty. Sure, its fun to listen to those duelling chants as perpetual babyface Cena takes on a despicable heel each week on RAW, but equally, it is very strange to hear that same heel being cheered like the Attitude Eras collective tits every time he locks Cena in a punishing hold, or beats his brains into the nearest turnbuckle. Those moves are designed to draw sympathy for the babyface, not adulation for the heel. Besides, Michael Cole can only shout Hes the most polarizing star in WWE history! over the chorus of boos that routinely greet Cenas entrance, so many times. Those boos, hisses and jeers simply arent going away. They are only getting louder. WWE booking has got to listen eventually. ...It is time for Cena to go bad. Not convinced? Heres 10 reasons why you should be.
