Cena is the strangest guy on the roster. Some of the things he says are beyond weird.

From today's Wrestling Observer news update by Bryan Alvarez:
"- If you're one of the people who thought John Cena's promo last night absolutely sucked (I personally thought it was one of the worst WWE promos in a year or so), you're not alone. It was a topic among the wrestlers last night as well. The post-show dark match last night was Cena & Sheamus beating Big Show & Wade Barrett. "

The only explanation and excuse I can give to that promo/segment is that they are saving all their good writing/booking for Sunday..I can only hope

the only purpose of it was to bring everyone out for the Rumble preview

As brutal as that promo was, what I found weird was how many microphones were in use during that promo after everyone started coming out... there were at least 10 guys in the ring and they all came down with microphones. That's got to be some kind of weird WWE record.

Some of Cena's raps back in the day used to be funny and well performed. Did he write them? Did someone else? How about these days?
He is an awful comedian. The basic idea of this could have worked but in execution it was typical Cena; hammy and crappy.

I gotta say, (and I've been watching WWE since the dawn of Hulkamania), that was the most pandering, air headed promo delivered by anyone in a generation or more. I am at a loss for words to describe just how stupid it was.

I think what sold it for me was how he played the whole skidmarks thing. I dunno, like his facial expression and his voice. I just found it really really funny, lol.

One of the worst wastes of time I've ever witnessed - no hyperbole.
I think I'd rather see Khali attempt to chain wrestle Raja Lion while Mae Young gives birth to Bastion Booger Jr at ringside than sit through another Cena promo like that.

They should have had Rock do the same spot he did with Foley once that promo got rolling.

If it was anyone other than Cena I could see them changing their minds on any kind of push for someone giving that bad of a promo. That was 'Genesis of McGillicutty' bad, and maybe even worse since McGillicutty's promo was at least unintentionally funny, so it had some entertainment value. Cena's was supposed to be funny (I think) but just ended up being a giant waste of millions of people's time.

I actually remember liking the Cena Star Wars promo. The Star Wars promo had "No chance in hell have you." that alone is enough to save it from being bad.
