John Cena is usually the PG era’s poster child, a corny and campy WWE spokesman who makes unfunny poop jokes and generally fails in his attempts at comedy.
That’s the Cena I hate. That’s the Cena a lot of people hate.
Cena’s goofy promos come across as rehearsed and unrealistic, and instead of fans getting into them, they drowned him in boos despite the fact that he’s the top baby face in the WWE. That’s not how it's supposed to be.
He’s supposed to be showered with cheers, not drowned with boos.
More often than not, though, Cena gets the reception of a heel because we’re tired of him calling Sheamus “a human jar of mayonnaise.” Every once in a while, however, Cena stops with his not-so-funny comedy and delivers a gem that turns those boos back into cheers.
That’s what he did on last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
For the first time since I can remember, Cena didn’t grab a mic and try to be a stand-up comic. Instead, what he did was the same thing that made CM Punk the star of 2011: he cut a worked shoot.
It was a far cry from the weak comedy we usually get from Cena. He spoke from the heart, he meant what he said and we could see that in his facial expressions, his mannerisms, the tone of his voice, everything.
Cena was able to rip The Rock apart in epic fashion and as someone who was firmly behind The Rock before this promo, I’m now considering a switch from Team Bring it to the Cenation.
Why? Because this was a rare occasion when Cena wasn’t being a corporate yes man who toes the company line and does exactly what Vince McMahon wants him to do.
