I know people hate the burial style or the comedic style, but when it comes to good ones, which one were your favorites?
I personally liked this one:

The one where he talked like a southern lawyer.

The Sunday promo before Royal Rumble 2013 where he talked about playing Call of Duty, Facebook, and blow up dolls for approximately 3 hours

The one where he says "you may have beaten me but you're not a real man unless you beat me again"

I did like the promo he cut after a fan vote made him have to wrestle a handicap match against the Wyatts where he acted hurt, and asking if they thought he could take them, or if they were just trying to get him hurt for no real reason. He really did sell it like it hurt his feelings.

A lot of things that annoyed me about Cena on the mic are much funnier in hindsight
Like how he would make fun of people f***ing up their lines. 'You're jumbling your words. It's KALLISTOOOO!'
His utter burial of Roman in 2015, bordering on unprofessional levels of destroying him. It's very funny.
I also genuinely loved all of his righteous promos about Punk in 2011. That was one of the peaks of his character, where Cena was dying for Punk and the audience's right to mock him.

The old school RAW promo before Survivor Series where he was forced to be the ref for Orton vs. Wade.

The contract signing or whatever with Orton before the Rumble 2014 world title match where the crowd had hijacked the segment with chants for Bryan. Cena acknowledged the support for Bryan then led the crowd back to what he was supposed to be talking about. It was really masterfully done.

Cena slapped Randy across the face with that one and still expected a handshake at the end of it lol.

I liked the ones he and Ambrose cut on each other on Talking Smack. I still wish we could've gotten that match instead of the mixed tag and Ambrose vs. Corbin on the kickoff at that year's WM.

I get why people say they like it when the wrestler doesn't bury their opponent, but I feel like that approach is unnatural. Like have you ever been in or around a real fight? It's two people shit-talking each other until someone wins the fight not two people going "you have the ability to beat me but I'm really going to try my best to win"

Some people loved this promo. I was one of them. But the one in the empty arena, when he was sitting in the stands alone right before once in a lifetime was great too.

Cena acknowledged the support for Bryan then led the crowd back to what he was supposed to be talking about. It was really masterfully done. Absolutely this one. Not only did the crowd outright reject everything they were trying to do in the terrible "ascension ceremony", it got so bad that the ring full of active former champions all started going into business for themselves and sandbagging the segment, too. Then Cena locks in and does an astounding job turning the entire segment back around, almost singlehandedly saving what was looking like one of the most disastrous segments they'd ever done, getting the crowd back where they need to be for the wild brawl at the end. Masterful is right - I don't think the WWE version of Cena was ever this good before or after, and this is where we got a glimpse of what they might have been squandering all along with him that we're getting to see outside the company now.

Not sure about best, but I do think his most important, career wise, was his rap at the 2003 Rumble. He raps his entrance for 90 seconds. It's a bit dated now, but that was his first real big PPV appearance before casuals, and folk I know were like "Yeah, Taker, Kurt, Brock, and did you see that Cena guy too?"
He had better promos but that was his major audience audition one and he passed it flying.
