They keep pushing WWE champ John Cena as a good guy even though everyone has been booing him for months, which is becoming just plain awkward. The announcers have to keep making dumb excuses for him like, "Don't be surprised if this Chicago crowd cheers for Triple H, they've always liked him here," and "Those aren't boos, the crowd is actually chanting his nickname, Moose." Come on, guys, don't insult my intelligence. I already feel inadequate enough that I just spent $50 on a wrestling pay-per-view when I'm in my mid-30s.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the WWE Champion, John "Moose" Cena???!!?| Promote this thread! |           | CANADIAN BULLDOG

| #6 Posted on 12.4.06 1809.39 | I'm with you Phantom; I'd been enjoying Cena all along, but I like his new schtick even better.
But I don't agree that it's that similar to Kurt Angle getting the "You suck" chants when babyface. Those crowds are 100% behind Angle, chanting to his entrance music is just fun. While I'm sure that Cena's detractors are having lots of fun trying to drown out his supporters (and vice versa), unlike in Angle's case they really are rooting against him.
That's what makes it so fun. You aren't just booing or cheering Cena; you're picking a side, and supporting that side and opposing the other one.

Don't think it will work...
I can see Cena in next week promo saying, "Yeah they're not booing me they're booing you". As the boos get louder.
Not the same thing as the entrance chant because we're all chanting "You Suck" at his opponents or so Kurt says. :-D

| #8 Posted on 13.4.06 0935.51 | Instant Rating: 4.01 | I don't think I saw anybody mention in the Raw thread that during one backstage interview this week, Cena completely and inexplicably dropped his utterly ridiculous blaccent. I was confused -- yet intrigued. I thought he came off as immensely more likable when he wasn't, well, being a total phony. Maybe that was some sort of trial balloon to see if it would work and how fans would react.
