WWE: 5 Reasons Why Booing John Cena Only Makes Him Stronger

4. You Used To Love Him, And You Know It

john cena If you think this statement is inaccurate, go back and watch Wrestlemania 20 the next time you get a chance. John Cena was jerking the curtain in a United States Championship match against the Big Show, and he was arguably more over with the crowd than any wrestler ever has been who had yet to win his first title belt. Throughout the match, the €œLet€™s Go Cena€ chants were absolutely thunderous, and unaccompanied by the now-obligatory €œCena Sucks€ chants to which we€™ve since become accustomed. This was without a doubt the only time in Wrestlemania history that a guy in the opening match got the biggest positive crowd reaction of anybody on the card, which is made all the more remarkable and noteworthy by the fact that Cena was barely one year into his WWE career and had yet to work a main event or win championship gold. After that night at Madison Square Garden, it was a foregone conclusion that Cena would become the face of the company, and in very short order. If you can€™t stand him today, you shouldn€™t have cheered him so loudly back in 2004.
