Well we dont have a choice its gonna be either of the two. Back to taking a break from wwe for me. 2015 is gonna be like 2006-2007 for Cena. Reigns overcoming dem odds. Ill take the devil I know rather then the Devil I know. Voted Cena but really fuck both.
Yeah this, Cena doesn't have enough in the tank for 5 more years as the top dog.
He will wrestle for another 5 years, but it'll be upper midcard/lower main event part time stuff. He'll maybe get 1 or 2 title runs in the next 5 years.
Yes I know Cena is more talented. But his character is beyond stale. I don't even think a heel turn can salvage him in that regard anymore.
At least Reigns brings a new era of some (any) kind. While things do not look promising now, at least there is some remote possibility for positive product change. Or at worst, new sorts of frustrations. With Cena it would just be the same old crap again and again ad nauseam. With John being put over virtually everyone of consequence on the roster and even arrivals from NXT.
you do realize their going make reigns the exact same guy cena is, Go back and watch punks face run when he was the wwe champion feuding with Jericho and bryan, He was john cena 2.0
mark my words reigns will be cena 3.0
if you hate cena you'll hate reigns
personally ill take the devil I know but that's just me
Never thought I'd pick Cena over Reigns a year or two ago, but damn, i gotta be honest. Craziness! Cena is better than Reigns at everything, as much as I dislike Cena. EVERY THING.
I wouldn't take ANYONE for 5 years because they'd all get stale eventually, even Hogan started getting booed in the early 90's. I'd rather have a rotation of 4, maybe 5 capable guys at the top and not a single figurehead monopolising the scene as a babyface.
From a business standpoint, Reigns would have more upside IF he gets over to that level because it'd at least be a new face with a different attitude and would make for fresh storylines that would compliment his character. The WWE did everything they possibly could with Cena as the top babyface and I don't want to see the same sh^t for another 5 years.
Cena will probably be in the main event picture as a heel for years to come if they decide to turn him, so it might not be an ether / or scenario.

Yeah Cena as a heel would be super refreshinh but doesnt look like theyre going there. Rumors are he,s gonna be a legends babyface similair to Sammartino in the early 80s and hbk 02-10. If he doesnt turn this year I doubt he ever will.
ATM, I'm undecided. I've seen so much of Cena, but nothing of Reigns. I've just recently found out about RR and the other stuff going on with him, so I'm not going to go off what everyone else says, since everyone hates him anyway. I'll check out Raw next week.
The last 5 years of Cena saddened my life to the point where I cannot even fathom another 5. I choose Reigns, thank you very much.
To put it another way - I think I've seen everything that Cena has to offer, and I don't like it, and never did. I believe that Reigns reeks of potential, but his shitty booking has painted him into a corner of boos for the time being.
Didn't I tell you all like 5 months ago that Reigns getting pushed was Vince's way to silence the "WWE doesn't push new stars" gripe from the fans? Vince doesn't care, if Reigns is a draw then Vince makes money, if Reigns flops then Vince can say he gave us a new star which we rejected and then push Cena more. By the time Reigns is done we'll want Cena back, I foresaw this months ago.
And this is coming from someone that HATES Cena but at this time Cena is better on the mic and in the ring, sure he's stale and phones it in but the guy can do 30 minute matches standing on his head. His character is stale and sucks but he's better than Reigns in all aspects, I don't even hate Reigns but given the choice between them both now? I'll pick Cena, Vince won.

It is funny how you said this. I can remember a few months back that I saw a thread on will we miss Cena when he is gone, and want him back.
By the looks of it people are voting for Cena because they don't want Reigns funny thought as on that thread people was just saying straight no, they wouldn't want him back.
Wrestlemania chants I can hear them now. "We want Cena!"
Cena is the lesser of two evils. He's far superior to Roman Reigns in every way and it isn't just the experience, The Cena early in his career was superior to the modern day Reigns.
Cena can be cringe-worthy, but at least he doesn't have to be overprotected in the ring or on the mic to the point where it's insulting to the audience's intelligence. Plus he knows how to play off hostile crowds to make his mixed reactions work. I doubt Reigns possesses that trait.
At this moment it wouldn't even be close. I'd still choose Cena if the option was for him to be on top for another 10 years over Reigns.
Look it isn't Reigns fault. Your not exactly going to say no to Vince if he phoned you and asked you to become the main man in the company potentially.
My issue is SO FAR he doesn't have the ability to back up such a crazy push. They have started to book him better especially the last Raw as they did well to cover up his flaws.
Compare Reigns to Rollins and that guy is everywhere. he has several promos every week on Raw so you would be forgiven for thinking he is and SHOULD be the main man.
Relax guys, we're gonna get both! Cena's recent high profile losses were for a very good reason and to troll the fans respectively. He will win the rusev feud, if he wins the us title he will vacate it without losing it and cena wins lol will still be the second most powerful force in wwe after da look
I can't wait for the day when Cena leaves and this forum starts saying how "Cena wasn't that bad" and "I'd take him over Reigns any day". Can already see some people are missing him since he went down to the feud with Rusev like he's gone already. People who have slated him for years are jumping on the Cena bandwagon now because its "cool" to hate Reigns now instead of Cena.
