I hope video game kid, blow up doll guy, and Facebook woman all enter the Royal Rumble to prove Cena wrong. Blow up doll guy had a bad night. First he had to hug Rollie Fingers' illegitimate son, then had Cena clown on him an hour and a half later. I'm sure if Simon Dean was still in the WWE, he would just point and laugh at him for about 20 minutes.

I liked the idea behind it but it just went way too long.

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*

Ha, I knew when I watched it that there'd be a thread about how awkward it was.

I was fine with it...until five minutes later and he was still ranting on about Call it Dudy, hangovers, and blow up dolls.

I didn't have much of a problem with it other than it seemed to go on for far too long... and his big announcement was that he was going to be in the Royal Rumble and win it... Something that he said a few weeks ago... I'm thinking something ran short and they just told Cena to go out there and say something before setting up the annual Royal Rumble cluster.

I think you guys are overthinking it. I've watched for close to 20 years and I had it on and enjoyed it.

I laughed at the jager bomb comment because I could relate. That's why it was funny. I'm not defending Cena but you guys find the most obscure and ridiculous reasons to bash anything on the shows. As they say, we're not the target audience anymore and if you can't find something on the show to enjoy even to the slightest bit, it's simple. Don't watch, find something else you guys will enjoy. /rant

It sucked and it felt like it.
I hate Cena promos but I can tell when it at least works for the crowd.
This was a swing and a miss...something Cena doesn't do. Worst I've seen him do maybe ever. Dude has been solid on mic since Day One. But if one of his promos deserves a depreciation thread, it's this one.
I wasn't just not laughing (as usual) but actually cringing. Sounded like San Jose found it as funny as I did too.

I agree, I'm tired of Cena and to a lesser extent, most of the show being the same each week but luckily, I get to read the raw results and the smackdown spoilers and pick what parts I watch. Although, I do order the pay per views each month, crappy cards or not because there's usually always at least one match worth watching each month.
Anyway, back on topic, it was a throw away promo that led to the inevitable brawl we all saw coming. They, the wwe, probably figured that 95% of it's audience watching who does order would probably be ordering regardless of what was thrown out there because of not only Punk vs Rock, but the rumble as well because it's the Royal Rumble for goodness sake.

I don't hate Cena like some do here. But holy hell that promo was brutal, absolutely terrible, and the absolute definition of why I get why people detest him.
It was seriously one of the worst things I've ever heard from him, and it kept going on and on and on and on and on.

Was reading the recap and the whole thing read like a heel promo. I can understand why people are confused.

I stopped paying attention as soon as he made his obligatory poop reference.

Yeah, it was bad enough until the "skidmarks" comment, which you knew was coming in some form. It was just a bad promo, especially in the same show where the Rock and Punk gave really good ones. I can understand why 12-year-old boys like him, but I think even they might be getting tired of his act.
