I want to enjoy Cena's promos as much as I enjoy his matches, I really do. But it's like he goes out of his way to set new personal lows. As soon as he started talking to the kid and took a long pause before the unfunny reveal of his XBox Live name, I was thinking "Oh god, just please stop. Just move on to whatever your point is." And he goes on for another FIVE PLUS MINUTES of that with yoga jokes, dick jokes, girls night out jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes. And yet after all these years nobody has had the heart to tell John that {Spoiler}jokes are supposed to be funny.

I was with the rest of you until I remembered that WWE hadn't done the annual everyone runs down and into the ring to beat each other ass before the rumble spot.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone just went, "John we need to bs for several minutes in the over run before we do the rumble spot."

I thought the spoiler was going to be: {Spoiler} You're not funny and nobody likes you.

I hate his promos usually, there's that not funny part, then he goes intense and screams and it kinda makes up for it, kinda, tonight, there was the first terrible part, and the second part of his promo lasted 10 words, I have no idea what he was going for here, but this was really, really bad.

Well it certainly felt like Vince and Creative told him to go out and improvise for a couple of minutes before they can do the brawl to end the show.

I loved it. It was stupid but it's not like he's got a need to be serious right now. He's just out there having fun because come Sunday it's going to be a fight.

They could have done something more productive to kill time instead of having Cena go out there and attempt a stand-up comedy routine.

Personally I love it when Cena goes into "preacher mode" for his promos. I can't help but laugh at his hand gestures.

I have to wonder... is it us, maybe? Are the majority of our senses of humour just not compatible with what WWE's and their target audiences sense of humour is?
I mean, it's the only explanation I can think for not only continuing with what Cena is doing, but applying it to Sheamus and Miz.

I'm not a big Cena fan but I thought it was funny and effective. To me it seemed like he went out of his way to emphasize that this is an important, special event. Not your ordinary Sunday. I thought it was well done. It kind of reminded me of old style wrestling promos.

Just imagine if he and Sheamus form a comedy group Sheamus: "Well, John, it seems we've put together a baseball team, and I was wondering, who's on first, fella?" Cena: "Yes! Not the pronoun, but rather a player with the unlikely name of "Who" is on first!" Sheamus: "Well, that's just great, John! We've been out here six seconds and you've already managed to blow the routine!" *Brogue kicks Cena, mutters 'sexless freak' as he walks out*

I'll admit that I was half paying attention to the beginning of Cena's promo, but after a couple of minutes, I was trying to figure out what any of what he was saying had to do with wrestling. I wasn't angry or anything, more extremely confused. Also, why should we even bother to watch the PPV when he already spoiled the Royal Rumble match in his promo! {Spoiler}Cena wins lol

I hope video game kid, blow up doll guy, and Facebook woman all enter the Royal Rumble to prove Cena wrong.

I know it all led to the hype of the Rumble match, but it was a very odd closing segment to tease all night. Cena's feud with Dolph appears to be done since he beat him on the last two episodes of Raw. He's not feuding with anyone. They just hyped that he will be speaking. Cena comes out and doesn't have much to say other than he will win the Rumble and random (unfunny) interactions with fans.
