Notice how the thread immediately went to to excuses and off topic character discussion. Cena's a good worker. And when he was a midcarder in 2002 no one was afraid to say it. In 2012 however........

Yep. Now you can't have get credit for a good match unless the guy is your same skill level or less, it's one on one and has no gimmicks :russ:

Yawn cena is the main reason the ratings/buyrates have gone down drastically from 2006 till now. One of the most boring wrestlers of ALL-TIME (that's why he gets booed) he talks like he is some robot teacher giving respect lessons to kids every promo and then will start raising his voice and screaming to get a reaction because half the crowd fell asleep lol It's the world wrestling ENTERTAINMENT and the only entertaining thing about him is the CROWD shytting on him all across the country despite him being the "top guy" for the last 6 years. Look how he rolled out of the ring at WM 28, the divas sell better then yawn. Kids like :to: that's my hero. :umad:

Dude looks so fukking hurt with those "U can't wrestle" chants. Trys some weird different shyt and the fans shyt on him. Why? Because he can't even do his finisher correctly. And he throws HORRIBLE unbelievable punches that you can't help but shake your head every time you see it. I mean..Jeff Hardy level. Just ridiculous:laugh: Oh yeah..he NO fukkING SELLS. Anyone have the audacity to say he's a "good" worker and these matches are good when he no sells like motherfukker. Kicked out of Big Show's KO punch and that Ziggler finisher like it wasn't nothing.

But like I said, those U can't wrestle chants burn the soul because he got all of those sick kids that cheer for him and they can't run from hearing that. Tragic.

Only ones I can think of are The Ambulance Match with Kane earlier this year, the match with Johnny Ace, and the match with Cole on Raw with him pouring barbeque sauce on him.

Cena can wrestle,. I don't hate the guy, dude is just kinda...stale.

This is where the IWC definition of "workrate" clashes with its traditional definition.

The goal of any wrestler is to get a crowd reaction. Traditionally, that's what workrate truly measures: the ability to get the crowd to react to your actions in the ring, regardless of what you are actually doing to get those reactions.

That's why names like Jerry Lawler get mentioned in conversations about the best workers in history. Even Hulk Hogan qualifies in that sense. And if you do go by that measure, Cena's workrate is pretty high.

The IWC cares way too much about technical ability when they talk about workrate. I don't know if Cena is truly bothered by "you can't wrestle" chants, but he shouldn't be, as long as he keeps getting crowd reactions during his matches.

No. That's called crowd psychology. Not workrate. A worker is what Bret Hart, Eddie, Rey Mysterio, Stunning Steve Austin, Bam Bam Bigelow, Dynamite Kid, Ricky Steamboat, etc..what they all were. Cena has botched clothelines....couldn't even RUN THE fukkING ROPES@ WM 27:laugh:, and in the Ziggler match at the PPV, he did some awful transitions and the fans in Brooklyn, who are not pandering fans of the regular accord, let him know how terrible that bullshyt was. And like a 10 year old backyard wrestler, he tried to appease to a fanbase that knew he was phony. It was so damn silly. But then again..everything about Cena is silly and is a leading reason why people are so amped for names to return for WM season.

Dudes act like it will psychically hurt them to give props to a wrestler they don't like. :what:

It's funny because everyone talks about they should just turn him heel, for what? He is a heel to most of the posters on this site anyway. I think the real reason they want a Cena heel turn is because they want to cheer for him. :mjpls:

Crowd psychology is part of workrate to the wrestlers themselves. Distinguishing between "workrate" and "crowd psychology" is something that the IWC does.

The point is, even if you think Cena's "workrate" is bad because he's not a technical master, how does that matter if the live crowd is reacting in a big way? A match can be sloppy as hell in a technical sense, but if the crowd is reacting, it's a great match.
