Cena is fine in the ring. The guy does his five moves of doom, but then all the top guys over the past twenty years have only ever done five moves of doom once they've reached the top. Cena's problem, as someone else has said, is the booking. Predictable, superman overcomes the odds stuff is only going to entertain the young, and even that wont always last.
"Sigh"
In my opinion, Cena's only problem is not in the ring, and it isn't even the booking.
It's creative.
See, pro wrestling is an illusion. Just sometimes they are good at projecting the illusion, and sometimes they are not. Case in point: "5 moves of doom". You said that all the top faces have done it once they reach the top. This is not true. It's an illusion. The truth, is that every single babyface does it period, weather they're on top or in the mid-card. It's how well you hide it or how bad you don't.
Every era has a flagship that has been the top guy for a company for an extremely long period of time without loosing much, it's just what era of fan you are and when you came up in the business. Because it's going to take a long time to catch on, and when you do, you think that the guy you're currently watching is the one that the rule is applied to, but it isn't.
It dosen't matter if Cena won x amount of matches in x amount of time. The only people that get sick of it are the people that watched y amount of matches for y amount of time without ever counting, then decided to start counting.
Cena's problem is creative. They give him something to get him over, and when he's over, they just take it away friguring that he'll just stay over anyway. It is this indeed that make people pay attention to the stuff that they do pay attention to now, because they're looking for things, things that everyone that was ever in his position or not has also had, but they see it in him because when you tke something away, people will now look for something else. They will find both negative and positive things, but they will still find them, or atleast see what they think they see, even if it isn't true. Things will remain hidden in the ones that aren't being held under a microscope.
I agree 100% with this man. Thank you sir, thank you.
