The John Cena Appreciation thread

by DemonicTruthSpeaker Tue Jul 12, 2011 4:54 am

First topic message reminder :

So, in my time on this board and others, I've written the odd very controversial topic. From my assertions that Bret Hart and Chris Jericho are hugely over-rated, to my noted loathing of TNA... however, this one could be the most spectacular of all.

We can all sit here and list the things that Cena does poorly. The man has no idea how to sell. Or to bump. Or to wrestle. Or to apply his own submission move effectively. He can, however, do some things very well indeed.

From the evidence of last night's Raw, when he does serious promos, he does them very, very well.

He has the occasional good-to-excellent match - I've mentioned the match with Lashley before, his series with Edge was excellent.

He can take some punishment. His TLC match with Edge had some huge bumps, the beating Orton and Miz gave him with kendo sticks, he's bladed back in the days when this was allowed...

He never takes himself too seriously. The match at One Night Stand with Rob Van Dam and his reaction to the incredibly hostile crowd was perfect. he played his heel role with wit and clearly enjoyed it, as opposed to the almighty sulk that one D. Batista threw when faced with the same situation a few weeks after. That match alone has given me a very grudging respect for John Cena. And I cannot wait for the Miami reaction when he faces the Rock.

So over to the rest of the board: what do you like about John Cena?

Responding to a WUM in WUM mode is a right of passage, on topic, only an absolute idiot would believe WrestleMania wouldn't have a main event without John Cena, that would be and imbeciles view, the mod should have merged the topic

by **Crimey** Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:26 am

I don't think he's saying there wouldn't be ANY main event, rather than the main event of Cena vs. The Rock, which the poster clearly thinks is amazing wouldn't happen...which to be fair, it's true. Without Cena, The Rock vs. John Cena wouldn't happen at WM 28.

by Kay Fabe Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:31 am

How can you be so sure thats what he meant when no-one can even be sure its not a WUM

by HitmanOwl Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:32 am

But cena is reinstated so the point of the article void.

What about a post to tell you that you made a good point about my own off topic post? Could that be considered off topic?

I'll just ensure that I also make a comment relating to the topic in question.

For example.

I've deleted the above posts because you called the OP a poopie.
PS. What seriously was going on with HHH's ability to say the word 'duties'

by Kay Fabe Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:52 am

I still think Cena is a terrible Wrestler, I don't think he did that well on the wrestling front the other night, however I did think he showed he can be a very good worker, he played his role perfectly at MitB

by Mr H Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:54 am

I think gaffer has a 'David Otunga' level of charisma.

But staying on topic, i also agree that alot of people confuse being a good wrestler with being a good worker.

Bit unfair on Otunga there, Mr H.

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Tue Jul 19, 2011 9:25 am

I don't really care about whether someone is a good wrestler. Because it's fake.

It's all about the story.

That sounds all a bit PG

by Kay Fabe Tue Jul 19, 2011 10:43 am

Not a steel chair or at least a heel crowd look in sight

by **ADMIN** Tue Jul 19, 2011 10:47 am

Actually being that this is the John Cena appreciation it was a bit like John Cena getting fired.
Although that does mean I'm Vince and soon my doofus son in law Hobo will be taking over.

God help you all then.

by Beer Tue Jul 19, 2011 10:49 am

Does this make me CM Punk? Awesome.

No chance, you're Otunga

I think we've already established that you're Otunga. Although personally i'd say you were more like a cross between Eugene and Colin Delaney.

by Mr H Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:09 am

You can both f**k right off, I'm Punk, don't you remember my shoot on admin the other week.

Gaffer, your Otunga.
Clarke, your McGillicunty.

Yep. Completely unoriginal and devoid of any real talent or charisma.......... i could've swore it was some of Gaffer's work?!

by TopoftheChops Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:14 am

Wow, I started all of this.

by TopoftheChops Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:15 am

I was saying that "cena vs rock" would be better than "rock vs any other wwe superstar"

by Guest Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:33 am

Cena's major problem is every match he ever has will now be compared to the sensational match he had with CM Punk.

And that's what is wrong with Cena as a character. He'll pull out a damn good fight when he has to and the rest of the time just breeze along on the wind.

He and Rocky have their work cut out for themselves.

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:44 am

I don't think every match will be, or should be, judged upon the CM Punk match. Just as every Shawn Michaels match isn't compared to the Razor Ramon ladder match and every Bret Hart match isn't compared to Stone Cold Steve Austin one.

It's part of a body of work, and a part which represents one moment in time. A moment that might never be replicated by either man, because both were driven on by the occassion, the hype, and the reaction. If those three elements are not there when he next fights Kofi Kingston or The Miz then you won't get the same result, and the viewers won't enjoy it as much.

Doesn't mean it won't be a good match.

Yes but Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart put on consistently good matches throughout their careers and are remembered for that while Cena has put on many questionable performances not just on the weekly shows but also on PPV's which is inexcusable for a main event star

Haha. It was definately my own doing, I think Gaffer was too busy dreaming up one of his overated fantasy bookings, either that or agreeing with every Brady12 has to say?!

Don't forget referring to Hero as 'Maccs', seemingly forgetting that most of us know who that is but trying to show he's one of the 'boy's'.

You've changed man!

Prefer being called 'Maccs' to some of the stuff the rest of you call me! Wink

by Mr H Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:38 pm

Im guessing 'Maccs' is something to do with you being from Macclesfield you big crusty bag of douche?! Wink

by **ADMIN** Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:42 pm

Yep and that for many a year back on 606 I was known as Macclads.

by Mr H Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:44 pm

Does anyone remember good ol' JL from 606? Used to go by the name of Napalm too. He was good value, im guessing he hasnt signed up here?

by **ADMIN** Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:46 pm

Yeah remember Napes, he was in both 6WF and 7WF for quite some time, good laugh. He disappeared before the end of 606 though I recall (would be happily proved wrong).

by Kay Fabe Tue Jul 19, 2011 3:31 pm

Yeah its all a laugh mate, I like those roasts.

I didn't think calling Hero Maccs was seen as some kind of secret that everyone was in on, I Joined BBC fans forums in 2006 and we used some obscure board for Wrestling, my Wrestling account was Wrestling Fan (WF) and his was Macclad, he kept that name and when we went to the original Niceboard I used this username, he called me gaff on 606 and I continued to use his original username, I've got flesh and blood pals to be 'one of the boys' and I've got you lot to share this nerdy hobby that I hide from the real world Wink

by Mr H Tue Jul 19, 2011 3:45 pm

It was a guilty pleasure of mine, if my mates knew i liked wrestling this much i would have been murdered, but just recently ive joined twitter under my real name and my real mates have seen me tweeting wrestlers and revealed me for the geek that i am! Played footy with some of them last night and oh dear me did i get some stick! So my secret is out, im out of the closet, do i feel better for it? Hell no, i feel like a proper c**t.
