Fact: If Cena holds onto the belt for 7 more days, he will be the 14th longest reigning WWE Champion. Finally he will get the reconition he deserves

Both Batista and Cena could end up surpassing JBL's "longest reign in the last decade" thing. Then JBL will have one less thing to brag about!

Maybe they'll do like they did with Shelton Benjamin and have him drop the title as soon as they actually acknowledge that he's held the title for a long time.
Or not.

I can't say I'm really crazy about an anti-Cena thread. I really liked his heel work. I'm not a fan of him as a face, but he has his moments. He genuinely loves his fans, and the general fans seem to love him. The WWE is really in a slump right now, without an Austin or Rock to lead the way. Cena's no replacement, but if he can take wrestling to the mainsteam, and draw money that supports the paychecks of wrestlers I like, then he's okay in my book.

^If you aren't crazy about an anti-Cena thread, why read and post in it? Just wondering..

Truthfully, I really didn't read it. I just assume Slim started this thread to get rid of all the other Cena bashing threads.
Why post in it? Opinions are like assholes... everyones got them. I'm just showing you mine. In all reality, I have no idea why he gets bashed as much as he does. He's not a great wrestler, but he's not completely horrible either. People can bash him all they want to though, I don't particularly mind. But why wouldn't they at least be a little happy that there's a guy like him that's good for business?
Edit - please don't type around the filters.

He's good for the company, the kids love him and I'm sure if I were a 10-15 year old, I'd be going crazy for him myself, but his character is really geared towards youngsters. I prefer Batista as champion, because he carries himself like a champion, and he seems more serious in his role as champion. I'm not too crazy about rappers, especially those who are holding the WWE title, so yes I am very much looking forward to the day when he drops that belt.

No doubt children love him, but I would think that he's being marketed to hip-hop culture as well. Like them or not, white rappers like Eminem and Kid Rock are doing pretty good business right now and have been for the past few years. Whether or not Cena has any credibility among the urban crowd, I have no idea. But I would assume that is who he's being marketed to.

And Batista has really improved by light years. I remember people were calling for him to be released, especially when he botched moves against Jericho. I guess traveling with Ric Flair and Triple H will improve most people who's name doesn't rhyme with Morton

^Maybe so, but I still don't like him, whether he's marketable or not. Not every single face will be liked by everyone, and Cena's time seems like it's just about up, hopefully. I don't hate Cena, the person, considering I don't know the man personally, but the character annoys me at this point.

One thing about Cena...no one ever said that he was as good a wrestler as Kurt Angle. He is a limited wrestler at best.

I think Cena should've dropped the title to Angle at Unforgiven, then he could do the babyface beating the odds and overcoming the evil GM thing and have won it back at Survivor Series. But nooooooo...
I, for the most part, like Cena sometimes. He's entertaining on his 5 questions for the champ, but much less so on TV.

Hey, now, I wasn't Cena hating, I just love the image of the Incredible Hulk (green, not orange) doing a random run in and frisbee tossing someone across the arena. That, and I bet he'd cut better promos then Steiner.

I hate Cena's shoes...there I said it. He needs bling-bling shoes,with like little spinners and neon and stuff. No, the Reebok Pumps are cool. Semper Fi, Erik Majorwitz

That should DO be a gimmick - big brawny Mongo-like guy, fragmented but funny speech pattern, seemingly tiny brain, easily provoked rage... Hey, add a voice box and it was Kane.
