Is it me or Cena can't cut a decent promo?

Sure when there's someone else with the mic helping him out (like the Rock or Punk) Cena is ok, but he can't cut a promo alone without any help. For a top guy you'd expect more.

And Cena used to be a funny guy too.







Guy got over and became face through his mic work. Legend on the mic, who is better than Punk. WWE just script him too much. Honestly don't get how people could think, that WWE just randomly picked Cena to be the next face of the WWE.

I'll admit I stopped watching wrestling for a long time, started back up during the summer of punk, and I have yet to see Cena cut a good promo. Some decent ones, but the fact that the guy is supposed to be the top baby face and he acknowledges the majority of the crowd doesn't like him just seems awful on a lot of levels.

Not only that, but it makes it tough on the top level heels because Cena gets so much heat that the heels automatically are cheered in many of his feuds. Most of the time it seems like they only time he gets a positive reaction is if he mentions the name of the city the WWE is in that night, or if they bring in a legend to help him get over.

Its all down to his stale character and his goody to shoes behaviour. Dr.Thuganomics Cena was a bomb on the mic...he used to make me laugh and I loved him back then.Ever since this Hustle, Loyalty and Respect shit, its down the hole and it keeps going deeper. Its not that he lacks charisma or anything, hell he is a half decent wrestler but his character is causing all sorts of downfall for him

I have the feeling that, in the grand scheme of things, Cena is going to be viewed as the biggest flop ever. 8 years as the face of the company, the vast majority of which he's been getting a majority of boos in most cities. Think about that. He's the face of the fucking company. Compared to any other top babyfaces in wrestling history, Cena is an inexcusable flaming debacle.

And in those 8 years, there's also times when he was getting Cena chants. Even in 05-07 when the hate began, guy was still popular, and entertaining.

The thing is Cena can cut a good promo, he's probably one of the best mic workers in the WWE right now, but unfortunately his stale character and god awful material make him unbearable. Give him the right material and he can do pretty well. I just hate his current crowd pandering. Maybe a heel turn will make him worth listening to I dont know, we'll have to see :)

I just dislike when he stands there smiling at the "Cena Sucks" or "boring" chants, it became stale years ago.
For the rest i think Cena CAN cut a decent promo, the scripts just force him to talk too much, no space for improvisation. His promos sounds like preaching now.

Cena is good, confident on mic, but that means jack shit because he's a flat out terrible promo man. He makes me sick.

Cenas problem is that he try's to be funny but he is not. He also makes out to be an underdog which he is not. So he looks a bit fake in his promos for my liking. CM Punk was right when he told cena be has turned into everything cena hates
