Poll: Is John Cena Entertaining

[Jumpingbean3]

This whole thing started with a small argument on Youtube: me and another youtube user were having a minor argument about whther John Cena or Mike "The Miz" Mizanin is the better wrestler (and no it wasn't a heated argument it was just a simple disagreement). The other user concluded by saying something along the lines of "it's fine if you don't find Cena entertaining but Vince doesn't care what you think, he cares what the majority thinks and the majority thinks that Cena is entertaining."

This comment made me a bit curious; I thought the majority of people actually hated Cena. As I recall when he was feuding with Batista and Randy Orton he used to get the "You can't wrestle" and "Cena sucks" chants quite often, he got a lot of hate in London and I think his match with RVD at One Night Stand was probably the most hate Cena has ever received.

On the other hand these people could be in the minority; I see a lot of people with his merchandise, he appeals to kids quite a lot and he's probably more marketable than Hulk Hogan so maybe most people do enjoy Cena but I would like to start a poll to see what the people on the Escapist think. Do you think Cena is entertaining?

EDIT: I decided to remove the third and fourth options as, upon reflection, the majority of options were skewed against Cena. I have now simplified the poll to just "yes" and "no".

He's the bad guy in those chants and the bad guy gets as much attention as the hero.

Its been a while since I actually watched the show, but I recall jeers and taunts aimed at Triple H when he had a fued with Cena, yet to my knowledge, he is still wrestling.

I absolutely hate John Cena. He's like the hero in every video game, movie, and cartoon series. Throwing himself right into a battle so blindly and he always gets his ass kicked then when he's in the championship match he "miraculously comes back" and wins. He's the same as Rey Mysterio and I hate them both.

 

[Alon Shechter]

I find all wrestlers in there to be absolutely PATHETIC.
That is why i love seeing them beating the crap out of each other.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Meh, not to fond of him.

I kind of hate how for the past few years he is either the champ or fighting to reclaim it. Would it kill to have someone else be the champion? It staring to bore me.

Yeah, but with Rey its more of an underdog thing due to his size. At least he's different from all the others.

I can see that but when they milk the hell out of it every big match he's ever in it gets boring.

 

[ActionDan]

No, because wrestling is huge soap opera scam. It's painfully realistic to see how fake it is. Yet people still watch it!? Common sense or intelligence takes no part in this. Also, where is the plain "No" option in the poll?

 

[ActionDan]

Sorry, repost.

When you say he's the bad guy do you mean he's the heel because I'm pretty sure he was a face in the footage I showed (although I don't know of any other face who duct-tapes a guy to the post in a last man standing match and goes on to call his victory "intellectual") and I think he gets a lot of hate even as a face.

Ya, but after 5-8 minutes, they all get boring. Especially when they're "dazed" and are just struggling to get up. I gave up watching it because I was always tired of seeing that.

It's even worse when you've actually participated in this activity and thusly can tell when even these guys get things wrong and don't sell things right.

I suppose a better explanation would be that people like to watch him get the shit kicked out of him.

 

[OceanRunner]

John Cena is what TvTropes calls a "Boring Invincible Hero", which sums him up pretty well. He should be made heel, since Batista has left, he really needs a new angle.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Who's this John Cena fellow? I can't see him

So would you send them to a Wrestling school or an Acting one? =P

I'd send him to both.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Sorry, why is there a thread about fake wrestling?

Think of it more as a thread about a soap opera.

I'd send him to both.

I had a hunch you would say that.

I'm not a wrestling fan either, but c'mon... you're really confused by this? Wrestling is incredibly popular. Sounds like you're just being a dick. It's why the question is "Do you find him ENTERTAINING?" It's just entertainment, and everyone knows it. Even the fans.

Why not?
