Re: WWE

Yes but the reaction he causes isn't the sort of reaction you want, it's an eye rolling "oh god this again". People don't boo him because they hate him in a positive way like a heel, they boo him because he's boring and repetitive and it's just the same old same old. This isn't like Cena fans booing CM Punk because he took the title away, which is the reaction you want, this is people booing him because the very concept of Cena is boring, stale, and damaging to the whole of WWE.

I don't want to see Cena getting beat, I actually don't want to see Cena AT ALL, because I know exactly how it'll end up, Cena will win whatever blow off matches they have with some five moves of doom rapadoo superman crap because he always has to come out on top. The same as has happened time and time and time again. It's boring, it's stale, it's insulting to anyone with half a brain.

Other people might be getting "to shine" but there every time they do Cena pops up to remind everyone how he's the greatest and at the top of the company. The entire thing is built around him.

You can tell how bad things are with Cena when he ridicules CM Punk's claim to the title by going "why? because he beat me one time?" Yes Cena, that's EXACTLY why he's the one with the biggest claim to the championship, because he BEAT YOU in a CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH. In this entire feud CM Punk has done everything to put the WWE Championship over, to make it out like it matters, like it's important. For years now the title has been nothing but a prop, and Cena on Raw showed exactly why, he doesn't care that he lost the title, because the guy only beat him once, it doesn't matter, Cena's still the best.

I agree that no one SHOULD be bigger than WWE, but Cena is. Cena is WWE. I already said it's not his fault, it's the fault of booking, but Cena at the moment is so far ahead of the rest of the roster that reigning him in is actually damaging to the company. People say it time and time again, Cena is merch sales. When was the last time WWE's merch was build around one guy? Attitude era there were a ton of guys all shifting merch, no one person stood out along, not even The Rock, you had Stone Cold there shifting just as much, but now it's all Cena.

HHH is permanently over, he doesn't HAVE to put himself over, he's over just by being HHH. His job should be to put other people over, instead he buries people at the expense of himself. We saw it last time he had a major role, he buried the entire roster one 20minute promo at a time. He's doing it with CM Punk, making sure that he knows that HHH, someone past their peak, is better than him still and could destroy him anytime he wanted. Why? What do we gain from that? What do we gain from knowing that a wrestler who isn't on the roster anymore, can destroy the WWE champion? It's just pointless. Like CM Punk said, it's all ego. What exactly does the WWE gain by putting a part-time wrestler over at the expense of guys working on the roster?

Both guys need to go into SS looking strong, but Cena could do that in any manner of ways, hell Cena looks strong just because he's Cena. His promo on Johnny Ace was another fine example of him burying the WWE title, his favourite part of a title match, in which he needed to save the title from leaving the WWE, was punching a suit in the face. How exactly does that do anything to build up the credibility of the WWE?

Even when CM Punk did his "I'm leaving" promo, he put the title over at the expense of everything else, making it mean something, making it important, this is why he's doing his "it's not a belt, it's a championship title" thing, to try to get it to actually mean something. Cena doesn't care about it because it's a prop to him. If he has it or not it doesn't matter, Cena is still the best in the WWE.

Which is why I say that it would be better without him, because with a character like Cena you have the entire company hand tied. If getting rid of him meant a major burying act (which would severely damage their income, so I doubt will ever happen) or him leaving, I don't care, I just think the product would be a hell of a lot better with an actual competitive roster. Not one that's build around giving guys short pushes for the sole purpose of feeding them to Cena.

There should be several viable champions each one with crowd support, it shouldn't just be one guy, with half the crowd in love with him, and the other half fed up with him and just cheering for who ever he's against.

I just can't see WWE pushing anyone else to the level of Cena.
