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

2. Your Criticisms Of Him Are Not Unique

cm punk john cena His move set is limited, he doesn€™t sell well enough, his move calls are too obvious, he doesn€™t have a high enough workrate. These are the normal complaints leveled at Cena by his army of critics, but they also happen to be the exact same criticisms that were once directed at Steve Austin (post-neck injury), Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Triple H, and almost every WWE performer who has enjoyed a long run of main event-level status in the past 25 years. Let€™s face it, not everyone can be Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle, and the €œfive moves of doom€ have been part of the repertoire of pretty much every professional wrestler who ever lived. In Hogan€™s case (and Austin€™s, for that matter), it was more like two moves of doom, and it didn€™t impede him from being the biggest superstar in the history of the industry. Why? Because a wrestler€™s skills on the mic have always been more important than his skills in the ring, and it€™s not even a matter of debate. The guys who attain main event status do so because they have the right combination of physical appearance and bearing, acting and promo-cutting skills, and in-ring competence, with the latter being the least important. As much as the internet marks don€™t like to admit it, 90% of the wrestling audience doesn€™t care about a guy being a gifted mat technician. They want to be entertained, and John Cena obviously entertains the hell out of them.
