Yeah it was one thing to go out there and do that promo, which was not very good. It was very rambling and you could tell it was a very forced prelude to everyone coming out to brawl at the end. Like I don't think I can recall anything else that ever felt so forced and hamfisted in recent memory. But what really pushes it over the top for me is that the show was hyping Cena talking up the ENTIRE night. Only for him to basically go out and say "hey I'm winning Sunday" and stretch that into 10 minutes. Just feels like a complete dropping of the ball all around, but hey I guess they have to have that go home shot of everyone brawling every single year, right?

Even as a Cena fan I thought it was terrible, of course the sheer amount of promos that preceded it didn't help matters.

I never thought I'd be standing alone in the Cena section. Cronant? Radio Clash? Honeydew? I still think it was pretty funny.

Hogan's WrestleMania IV and VI promos made more sense than Cena's last night.

Hogan's WrestleMania IV and VI promos made more sense than Cena's last night. I think that was why I liked it. It kinda reminded me of those insane rambling Hogan promos. But then I thought the audience was into it, and that it did a good job turning around and making the Rumble sound like a big deal in contrast to a typical Sunday night.

To be honest, neither did he. I have no idea what he was on about for those first few minutes.

It was awful... what did it have to do with anything at all?
Couldn't he have just come out here, cut a promo about how 2012 was a bad year for him mentioning the matches he's lost and how he wasn't performing at his best then say 2013 is going to be different and he's going to prove that by winning the Rumble.

The part that bothered me was John Cena insulting the random fan in the first row. What did that guy do to deserve that kind of public humiliation?

Felt so sorry for that guy in first row getting humiliated on public tv like that. Way to go "face".

I enjoyed it.
I love "Give No f***s" John Cena.

He even compared himself to that guy and said they did the same things. The guy even played along! It's not like he said: "Look at this fat ugly guy. Gee whiz! Phew! God damn! You stink too! ANYWAY ROYAL RUMBLE!"

that promo was terrible. he took forever to make whatever nebulous point he was trying to make, and beyond selling the Rumble match I have no idea what the hell that was. and it's not like the Rumble needs John Cena rambling on about sunday to sell it.
it didn't even really feel like a John Cena promo, it felt like something a corporate mascot like Poochie would say.

That fat guy was regretting the ringside seats.
It was dumb, but harmless

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. I highly suspect ypu where watching a different promo.

It was awful and boring, I ready hope he doesn't win on Sunday. He will though I am sure, that makes me not want to watch the RR.
