2. Your Criticisms Of Him Are Not Unique
His move set is limited, he doesnt sell well enough, his move calls are too obvious, he doesnt 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. Lets face it, not everyone can be Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle, and the five moves of doom have been part of the repertoire of pretty much every professional wrestler who ever lived. In Hogans case (and Austins, for that matter), it was more like two moves of doom, and it didnt impede him from being the biggest superstar in the history of the industry. Why? Because a wrestlers skills on the mic have always been more important than his skills in the ring, and its 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 dont like to admit it, 90% of the wrestling audience doesnt care about a guy being a gifted mat technician. They want to be entertained, and John Cena obviously entertains the hell out of them.
