i do not respect him at the moment because all he does in pander to women and children. i respect him when he is being himself, that is, the heel rapper. that’s who he is as a person and that works for him, but when he is giving tim tebow-esque apology speeches and wearing a shirt that says never give up!, he just comes across as lame and phony. in real life, Cena is not this dorky guy who wants to be the Barney the dinosaur of the WWE (rap career notwithstanding). He is actually kind of bad.

And the WWE became a publicly traded company in 1999 and the McMahon family retains 96% of the voting power in the company, and he gave the idea to Vince to make WWE pg

Disagree.

I think everyone respects Cena, even the haters. There are differences between liking a wrestler and respecting a wrestler. I don’t like Cena’s character, I think it *****. But the CHARACTER *****. Cena has earned my respects (and many others) because he never backs down and has a lot of determination and because outside his crappy gimmik, he IS a good wrestler . Watch his debut match against Kurt Angle. Fantastic match!! Thats the Cena I’d love to have on WWE. Ruthless Agression worked fantastically well.
He needs to turn into a similar gimmik, and a heel turn would be great.

But not give up and retire. He has it inside, just trapped in a crappy gimmik,

another cena hater?? lol u guys are pathetic, you dont have anything better to do at this time of night then to diss cena, damn that’s pathetic

do you know how much worthy is cena to the wwe? they make big amount of money because of cena….sure he can’t wrestle….maybe in US u guys **** him but he has millions on fans all around the world!

Hahaha. Yes, he should get another job, and retire from wrestling. lol

Firstly, I don’t agree he should retire from wrestling, but rather change his gimmick back to the rapper and turn heel.

Secondly, the Cena Haters, of which I am one are a much bigger group than the ‘Newbie Cena Fans’ would think. We don’t **** him for doing his job, but rather because he’s not doing it well. It doesn’t matter how a match outcome is booked if the wrestlers give a great match. Take Undertaker vs. HBK at WM25 for example, Cena has never come close to that level of greatness because:

1 - he undersells every move he takes.
2 - he has about 7 moves and that’s it
3 - he ends every match the same: he’s down for all 20 minutes then comes back at the very end
3b - its he wrestlers that choose how the match is played, the writers just choose the ending, so its cena and his opponents fault if a match doesn’t work well
3c - His matches never flow well because he’s boring, doesn’t have any form of a skillset and can’t wrestle.

Just look at the greats:
Austin
Rock
Taker
HBK
HHH
Hart

They all put on great matches, not just because they love wrestling as I’m sure Cena does, but because they use their skills and their brains to create great matches.

No Cena shouldn’t retire, he should just change his gimmick greatly and stop pandering to the Newbie Fans that have only been watching wrestling for 5 years.

And FYI, he has only gained respect from those newbie fans, he certainly hasn’t from veteran fans from the attitude era. Remember when he was booed out of the Hall of Fame?

i don’t agree don’t be hating on his because he is a great wrestler,stronger, and way HOTTER than you I’m sure
HUSTLE LOYALTY RESPECT

He’s earned my respect even though I do get tired of him.Why should he retire? He’s a great performer all around,he’s got the moves and everything.I don’t think I have to explain how good he is.Cena shouldn’t leave,all he needs is a character change/heel turn.Then maybe more people will get behind him.Seriously,Cena shouldn’t retire yet.That won’t help WWE from a business standpoint either.

I don’t agree with either statement.

First, Cena is the top face of WWE, he sells the most merchandise, he sells out arenas, he brings in the most money and probably makes the most money of all the WWE wrestlers, not only that, but he has a passion and love for the wrestling business, it is something he has always wanted ever since he was a child, he is living his dream, no point in giving that up.

Second, that just isn’t true, he has earn most fans respect, there are only a few Cena haters out there, who just **** Cena for doing his job, most fans love Cena, and the others, don’t have anything against Cena personally, they respect how hard he works, and many other things about Cena, they just don’t like Cena’s Character. Truthfully, this is a good majority of wrestling fans that respect all wrestlers, for the bumps and risks they take just to entertain us, the fans, and, if you was a major WWE star, would you give all that up just because some one on Y!As told you to, I don’t think so, and if you did, well, that wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do.

I disagree. I respect John Cena and he definetly doesnt deserve the crap most idiot wrestling fans dish out towards him. Sure he is no Shawn Michaels in the ring but with the right people he can put on awesome matches. The issue is the way he is booked which he doen’t have that much control in. He’s doing the best he can in the position he is in. Its not his fault WWE are pg. When cena bled in the iron man match he pushed the medicos away.

WWE are pg because they are now a publically owned business. WWE is not owned by the Mcmahons anymore. Anything they want to do has to be discussed with shareholders etc. I dont want to get too complicated but if vince wanted to make wwe pg 14 again it isnt as easy as a lot of people think. Vince doesn’t have that major a say anymore as he isnt the sole owner of the business. Point being Cena is only doing what he is told and should not be blamed for the **** position the wwe is presently in.
