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![]()
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.
