    Happy New Year. I'm ready to give you guys more content, this is the start. I might drop the collection video for today but for this, I really wanted to do something different and talk about Cena's character. We often talk about his stories but never about this character in detail

    John Cena in later years after his loss to Lesnar and the death of Super Cena at SummerSlam 2014, were very fun. The amount of great matches he had with lots of future stars during his U.S. Championship title reign were amazing, and it truly made you feel some respect to him more, even if you hated him during his prime. Truly an underrated time of his career👍

    I'll always hold the opinion that 2015-17 is a top 3 Cena run alongside 2004 and 2007. Once he stopped acting like an underdog and actually carried himself like the top guy we all knew he was it was so refreshing. It made people like Owens and Styles beating him actually feel massive because he gave off the feeling that if you want to get to the top in WWE, you have to go through him.

    I still remember those FIRE promos John Cena did on AJ, Miz, Ambrose and Reigns around that 2016-2017 run. He put those guys in their place and had them in silence, this character of him definitely underrated

    My favourite run of his. He still had his aura but was finally able to lose. Killer matches and programs throughout. Cena from his loss to Lesnar up until his last 2017 appearances was special.

    Heel or baby face cena with a spinner belt custom designed doing opening challenge would be great I can imagine the design on the belt hope it not like the older one with just the company logo I know a idea on what they should do.

    "But a guy like you can stand in this ring and call me a sorry excuse for a wrestler. Why? Because I didn't put time in on the Indy scene? Here's a spoiler alert: I wasn't built for the Indy scene, I was built for the WWE, for SmackDown Live, for the Royal Rumble, for moments like right here, right now! So I'm on a level with you, homie. Regardless of how good you think you are, you're not on my level, you're not even on the level below me".

    I watch these promos from Cena during this time in his career over and over and over again. Before this none of us would have categorized Cena as someone who would verbally disintegrate people in promos. Now every time Cena touches a mic you know he's going to say some out of pocket shit to his enemies. Hell Cena be spitting more bars now than he did during his rapping days.

    John Cena from 2014-2017 was also very special as he was delivering a lot of bangers while put over new main event stars such as Roman, Rollins and Owens while his feuds with Lesnar and Styles were entertaining to watch.

    That moments when he did promos with Roman, Kevin and AJ styles was amazing

  • @ChrisHoops305
    @ChrisHoops305 17 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    To me, this was the "Grim Reaper" version of John Cena.
    He was absolutely a grave digger on the mic, could build up any heel to be a powerhouse against him or just drop an anvil on them, he drew attention toward his feuds, was honest about his character, and forced his presence back into the main event scene. The weird thing the wrestling community hates about Cena, is his facet of nuking another talent on the mic & legitimately giving them no chance to rebuttal.
    I genuinely dislike that sentiment by fans, him being ruthless on the mic plays well into the "franchise" role, if you wanna be the MAN, you have to beat the MAN. If you couldn't hang with Cena for more than 1 minute, that's on YOU as a performer for not improvoising. Sure it's a great rule of thumb to always ELEVATE another performer & never go into the business for yourself.
    He definitely did during this run but I genuinely don't mind it, because it allows other performers to really showcase who's up NEXT. He was safe in the ring, passionate, had great pacing, good selling & had great high spots in matches!
    His promo on Roman is one of the greatest future shocks to another performer I've ever seen. The guy completely went paralyzed & at that very moment, fans knew Vince's experiment wasn't even close to ready. It was ruthless, honest & had a good element of "shooting." However, it was for the best.

    John Cena was great but boring because he was too much of a good guy always being the top Babyface and because of that steamrolled everyone and Batista in 2010 wasn't no more of threat than Orton was in his 2009 feud with Cena Cena definitely should've turned heel at some point

    • @Slick5150
      @Slick5150 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's more on Vince and creative than Cena himself. if they gave them a chance he would have been a fantastic heel

    • @MontrellPitts
      @MontrellPitts 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @Slick5150 true I blame the creative for Cena's lack of a heel run and his steamrolling of the top level stars who only beaten him clean once or not at all when creative should've booked them with more clean wins over Cena
