At least at live events. They don't seem to be as vocal as they used to be.
The last 3 shows that I've attended (WMXXVI, RR 2011, and Raw the next night) Cena was by far the most over man on the roster. As big of pops Booker T and Kevin Nash received at the Rumble this year, Cena's was as loud, if not louder.
So where have they gone? Has Cena literally driven these fans away so they don't buy tickets anymore? Are they just a small minority these days as PG is in full swing (and may I add a big success)? Or has he actually won over these fans with his humor and charm?

Seems likely that you could eliminate this red herring straight away!

I think i'll cut him a little slack since he intends to WALK DIRECTLY INTO THE ASSES OF HELL to win a ticket to Wrestlemania

It seems to get much quieter the further away he is from the title.

Online calling him a dick? Cena's a dick!!!!! But so's CM Punk and Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. WWE has a lot of dicks! My wife has banned me from being a dick to John Cena at live events. She says it's grounds for divorce. So yeah. that's where I've been.

I think between the Nexus stuff killing off the Superman stuff to a degree and him embracing the haters, he won them over. I know that while he is nowhere near my favorite wrestler, my dislike of him has lessened a lot lately.

Simply put, Cena PWNed them.
Every single one of them.
He went and hung out on the rail with the "I Hate Cena" shirt guys, then did the "Yea ... Boo" promo when he "retired" (for about a minute).
And just that fast, it wasn't cool to be a Cena hater at live shows.
I've always believed that most people who boo Cena at live shows do so because it kinda/sorta somehow became the cool thing to do. Not because they really hate him (you online parents' basement types aside).
Every match I've ever heard him booed -- PPV, TV (I've seen him live but if there were boos they were so overwhelmed by the cheers you couldn't hear them) -- the boos are after the initial reaction of a tremendously huge pop.
So when he actually makes his intro, the reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Then a minority of I-wanna-be-a-cool-Cena-hater types realize, "Oooh, when the cheers stop I can boo and all my friends will laugh" and you get a minor secondary heat reaction.
And now you should really hate him, because he made you uncool again.

I'll keep on hating. Why? Because I always boo the main event face. comes from my time as an ROH fan.

We're wrestling fans, none of us have ever been cool.
I think you're putting way too much stock into this anyway. Hard to believe I know but some people genuinely just don't like the hideous goof.

They all stopped watching the WWE. That's what happened.
