WWE.com writes on why Cena is Super-Cena

They know...

Seventy-five years ago today, Superman — the original superhero — made his first appearance in “Action Comics #1.” Since then he has always stood for truth and justice. More than that, the Last Son of Krypton has become a symbol of hope and inspiration both in comic books and the real world. Although alien in origin, Superman represents the good in all of us, a red and blue example of what we should all aspire to be.

John Cena may not be able to fly, nor does he have X-ray vision or heat vision, but he stands up for what he believes in and always fights for the greater good. There is no amount of Kryptonite that could keep the Cenation leader from standing up to a challenge inside the ring or fulfilling wishes for young fans all over the world.

The WWE Universe often refers to the 11-time WWE Champion as “SuperCena” — a direct reference to the Man of Steel — for his seemingly superhuman strength and his ability to emerge victorious even when all of the chips are stacked against him. But the truth about “SuperCena” doesn’t necessarily lie in what he does in the ring; it is more about what he represents. Cena’s creeds of “hustle, loyalty and respect” and “rise above hate” are synonymous with truth and justice.

Although a polarizing figure among the WWE Universe, the closet parallels Cena draws to Superman are his unwavering resolve and his ability to inspire millions.

I noticed that all of the things Superman is that they said Cena isn't......they didnt say Cena wasn't an alien


..........We're through the looking glass here people

[Djm Doesn't Find You Funny]

At least they're admitting it.

Now, everyone just needs to accept that it will never change.

Superman is actually an interesting character in the hands of the right writers and has evolved as a character.

Umm, no. He started being called "SuperCena" exactly because of what he did in the ring. I swear, is WWE trying to take everything, misunderstand it, and then present it like something they're on board with?

[sunnytaker]

if superman stands for truth and justice shouldn't R-Truth and the Shield be representing him and not cena?

I think people started turning on him when he dropped his white rapper gimmick then more people did once their booing didn't result in a gimmick change and he continued to be booked stronger.

So, I agree with WWE.

That's a downright clever plan. Almost too clever for WWE to come up with.

Didn't the booing start more from him feuding with guys that like Jericho, Christian, and Edge that were way more loved than Cena was? Cena was still white-hot when he was drafted to Raw, but they really mismatched him feud-wise. Also, I'm legit curious if crowds that boo Cena even know why they're booing him.

I thought SuperCena originally refered to him just popping up like nothing happened and doing all of his moves and winning the match.

yes, but his personality is why people complain about him doing it. I mean read around. It's pretty obvious that people's favorites aren't criticized for doing the same things their least favorite's do

I think Cena's gotten better at the whole "no selling" thing. Aside from that one cage match with Ziggler, I can't remember any recent time when he was presented as indestructible in a match.

I see what you mean. I think it's more that people didn't like him for those reasons, rather than not liking his personality and thus criticizing him more harshly. It's probably a mix of both.

I don't think he was indestructible ever. He got up, but he was consistently knocked down.

Yup, you're right. Which is mainly why I never ever saw any threads or posts about SuperPunk.

Hrm.

SuperCena to me will always represent how he truly does come off as indestructible. The only time I've felt that he's shown that he went through a war/a physically grueling contest is after his match against Lesnar. If Daniel Bryan got the shit kicked out of him for 15 minutes and still won his match and acted like nothing had happened, then yeah. I'd cry foul instantly.

This is just me getting bent out of shape about the "IF YOUR FAVORITES DID IT YOU WOULDN'T COMPLAIN" thing, because until I see it, I won't complain. I've seen it with Cena. I'm going to complain about it.

Well even Superman got knocked down during fights. It didn't stop people from seeing him as indestructible (kryptonite aside).

[zeez]

It's because of his sidekick, SuperBooking.

[SEAN CARLESS]

Figures WWE.com wouldn't get that "SuperCena" is sarcastic. People don't call him "SuperCena" because he's heroic or inspiring, or any of that revisionist silliness. It's entirely because of his booking, and the fact that they (WWE) paintbrush him as this unflinching moral character, when in reality said morals are entirely predicated (or ignored) based on whatever story or direction WWE wants to go in.
