I don’t know if Braun has that posterboy superstar personality/look though. He’s great at what he does but he’s more in that diesel/Kane/undertaker top guy role but not quite the rock/Cena/Austin larger than wrestling personality they tried to make reigns
Drew McIntyre is the reason WWE went downhill

Nah....yall can hate all y'all want but Cena did too much for WWE. Y'all won't appreciate it until he's gone completely.
shyt just look how flat and bland everything is now that he's not there. It's not that he sucks it's that we got too much of him

Y'all can't really sit here and tell me the Snitksy/Kozlov/Festus/Finlay/Hurricane/Maven/Umaga era was any good at all
Maybe we were supposed to have the two headed monster of Cena and Brock as main guys
Or trifecta of Orton, Cena, Brock...sprinkle Batista
Maybe too much pressure on Roman plus he won't be seen as the guy cuz he can't pin Brock in big moments...he has become a long drawn out Lex Luger...but at least Luger still had face pops
Also Roman doesn't begin to get hated on if Daniel Bryan wins or at least is final 2 of first rumble Roman wins and DB was never a part of...I remember poor rey mysterio got booed at that moment being number 30...that's where it all went down hill for Roman
Year before he got major pops when he almost won the rumble

to be more specific..I read that Vince and Dunn generally wont put the crown on the head of a guy with a thick accent ( i guess for marketing reasons) we dont have a large sample of foreign high mid carders who can be viewed as Vince Macman top dogs (im sure TCS will drop a few names of guys im missing)
if Drew didnt have an accent- Vince wudda gave him the World Title, Universal title, US, IC and the Raw womens title as soon as he signed the contract
It's not even that we hate dude... okay, I do a little but it's gimmick hate more than anything.
It's that Cena's Main Event push, despite it coming about because Brock left, was the last time that they got behind a push that was Organic from the start. They had Cena test the waters as a Main Eventer in 03, had him do dirt in the Midcard where he got super over after realizing he wasn't ready yet, then finally struck when the iron was hot at Mania 21.
But immediately after? They did to him what they're doing to Reigns. They stripped away everything that made Cena who he was little by little except the ring gear and music, had him going up against more established, more beloved wrestlers that exposed a lot of his shortcomings in the ring and (thanks to them watering down his promos at the time) on the mic, tried backtracking to re garner sympathy like a year later and it backfired in record time.
Only difference is where they halfway book with Reigns and get cold feet if they don't get the reaction they want? They stuck with Cena, for better or worse. Dude was front and center with a World Title, even if it was the wrong decision at the time.

More important is that the crowd picked him, which means cokeboy is likely to be against it. To go along with his push would be to concede that the crowd is right and to let them dictate who is the star. That goes against Vince’s entire pathology.

he is probably the only one in recent memory...even then- I never saw him as the torch carrier for the WWE.
