Alright, since people are talking about Cena, let me post my thoughts on him.
John Cena has been the face of WWE for a while now, though I think it's clear to everyone that it isn't going to stay like that for too long. Once Roman Reigns develops mic skills, Cena is going to turn into next-best. But right now, he is still their face, earning them the most money and doing most of the out of the ring charity to promote WWE. And of course, whatever is popular, people are just going to hate on it. In this case, Cena is arguably the most popular wrestler in WWE history, behind only Hogan even if he isn't #1. So of course, he is going to be hated. Although it wasn't like this ever since he showed his face. Back in the early 2000's, he had a more gangster/rapper gimmick, often wearing chains and jerseys to the ring, heck, he even had a rap song he sung and published as his theme song. The 'Doctor of Thuganomics' as was his nickname back then was pretty liked, maybe because it appealed back in the day when rap and being gangsta was a fad, or maybe because he was a good wrestler. But either way, he started out as a mid-carder, but his first iconic moment imo was at WM20 I believe when he hit the FU, or AA for you PG fans, on Big Show to win the United States Championship. This was similar to the Hulk Hogan bodyslamming Andre The Giant moment at Wrestlemania 3, appealing to both fans of WWF back when that happened, and newer fans because back then, the underdog gimmick was still very much liked. This was the start of Cena's climb to becoming the face of WWE, though we didn't know that then. Soon, he got into the World Heavyweight Championship run, thus beginning a feud with JBL. He won this championship, thus being a main event wrestler, and he has never dropped from that position unless he was injured.
Yeah, I'm not going to list his entire Wiki page here, so let me get to the point. John Cena currently holds the record for most WWE Championship reigns, and is 4th in combined days in holding the belt. His World Heavyweight Championship runs were not as impressive, but still nothing look away from. Overall, he was given a lot in WWE, and many argue he doesn't deserve it, as he isn't a good wrestler, and was just in WWE for entertaining the kiddies.
What do I think.
John Cena is a good wrestler.
Yes, I find Cena to be a good wrestler who is the perfect face for a kid-friendly organization like WWE, who can still entertain older fans. Before you shit on me or whatever, let me say this. Cena isn't my favorite wrestler, nor am I just a kid who likes the Superman character, no. I am 15 years old, hardly the age of a kid, and I have been watching wrestling for years, about 10 years ago I started watching. My memory is a bit foggy about my thoughts of wrestling back in the day, so I can't say what I thought of Cena back then. All I remember is that I loved Rey Mysterio, and even now I still shed a tear from when he was the underdog and won his first World Heavyweight Championship from Orton and Angle at WM 22-23. But as I grew on, I think my parents bought me a John Cena poster because I liked WWE, and I didn't really oppose. Soon, we got rid of that poster for whatever reason, and not long after that, I started to dislike Cena, since I was at the age to follow the cool kids and hate on whatever was popular. But a few years after that, I went to neutral on my thoughts about Cena, just bashing him on the outside since my little sister was a diehard fan of his and still is.
But now, I can say I find Cena to be entertaining and what a wrestler should strive to be. A fit wrestler who doesn't get injured much, can put on a good show, does tons of charity work, and very charismatic on the mic. Some of his recent matches have gotten me to the edge of my seat, and he can put on a promo whenever he needs to. He doesn't deserve all the hate he gets, and I hope he continues this streak of being good in the ring, as well as keep being great as ever outside of it.
