Yep wasn't interesting at all after 2005 lol.
John Cena's contract has quietly expired
- Thread starter Metal Face
- Start date
His presence alone killed the product. Corny all around. Guys trying put him on that Hogan Austin Rock tier..they actually elevated the program and the box office and ratings reflected that plus people actually wanted them on top. Cena was jeered in almost every town they went, the ratings declined almost every year he was on top.. so much so they had to resort to gimmick shows like celebrity guests host and giving away money..He is a C list talent more in line with a Triple H or Bret Hart than the top 3 goats..he aint sniffing that realm.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Im mad we never got that match wouldve been absolute fire. Have Cena heeling it up in the Tokyo dome.
Maybe a$$hole Tana come back if its in the states
Heel Cena being the new leader of the Bullet Club would make them beards explode

They could still put on a very good match but early to mid 2010's Cena vs Tana would've been otherworldly
a$$hole invader Tana in the US would be money no matter where and when. Why you making me fantasy book like this
I have to staunchly disagree
From about 08 - 11 yes the character was stale. But I can't remember anybody Vince hasn't left stale, because he's just not qualified to produce weekly television anymore. If you want to talk about the intangible "X factor", Cena has it. He's a clumsy wrestler who dresses like a 5 year old to the ring and has somehow made it work for 15 years, putting on more great matches than Stone Cold, Rock, and Hogan ever did. No doubt he was corny but he was an actor on a produced TV show, you can't only blame him for stupid shyt but then hold Vince accountable for all of the other creative shortcomings.
From 2012 after he was doing the best work of his career and turned into this mythical figure who defied conventional wisdom. Even from 05 - 07 he was earning stripes as a top guy and having great matches on the regular. Did he tune people out? Most casuals left in 02 and the internet beards who cared enough to pop blood vessels over Cena didn't actually go anywhere.
Cena made a career out of turning feces into gold. Stone Cold and Rock had success built in to their characters. Cena was a gimmicky rapper turned stupid Marine Superman who wrestles in jorts, and still carried the decaying product for 10 years.
Call the last transcendent star of the business a "C list talent". The ratings were declining for years before he became a top guy. There's also no logic in holding both the entire success and failings of the company accountable on one performer.

Cena ain't move no damn needles. He's not in Hogan, Rock, or Austin's class.

He did not put more great matches than Steve Austin..are you nuts? The Bryan match, Eddie match, the match with the Rebel, the first Rock, the first Owens match...thats pretty much the height of what he was in the ring. His promos are cutesy passive aggressive where he acts like he loves to get booed as a face. He sucks. Terrible top star. They sandbagged Nexus, Wyatt, Carlito, Zack Ryder, all kind of cats for this chump.I have to staunchly disagree

vince gave taker a lifetime contract because takers old dumb ass can’t stop wrestling like a fukking junkie and vince is sick of paying him on a per appearance basis. Vince would rather pay him in full now than pay him plus the cost of inflation when taker is wrestling in 2075.

i been away to long, my feeling died.
So who is? In his era you had Miz, sheamus, Umaga , Rusev Randy , Edge ,HHH, Carlito and HBK. He feud with JBL and Bautista. The man worked with what he had.
