His promos are childish, plain and simple.  He can never do serious for more than a few seconds before he has to crack a joke and consequently you can't take his feuds seriously, did you ever get the impression his life was a living hell with Nexus?  He spent half the time joking his way through being a member.  I wouldn't mind the jokes so much if they were good but unless you are such or love loads of gay jokes, they aren't.

For those who think it is his rap schtick, its not since thats virtually vanished, that was actually pretty good back in the day.

Ever notice how some matches he goes into a match semi-popular and then half way through the crowd start to turn on him.  Its normally about the time he starts throwing the worst looking punches ever.  One of the greatest things about wrestling is being able to suspend your disbelief.  Cena makes it nearly impossible.

Now blame the dirtsheets, blame Cena, I don't know who is completely to fault, but his comebacks after beatings are often to quick.

Its not the same now, but a few years ago he never seemd to lose, it was an on going forum joke for any feud Cena was involved in SPOILER: CENA WINS!

Back to his character, with the "Rainbow Coloured" gear and his promos if you over 18, (Barring the odd exception - Gnrfan  ) he just doesn't have any real appeal.

One of his positives is his passion, although that can be a negative, its great he loves the company and the fans and the business and will never leave, but he seems to feel the need to tell us again and again and....

The best thing about him is he is over.  Cheer.  Boo.  He gets a reaction, he never suffers from pin drop syndrome like supposedly over guys like Orton can in matches (chinlocks). 

I remember him having good matches with HBK twice, HHH, Edge, Orton, Batista and even with Angle and RVD before they left.

2 good matches with HBK?? And good ones with Trips, Edge, Angle and RVD.... that's hardly epically difficult 

As for Orton.  I'll wager this.  For every good one he had with Orton they had 10 medicore to bad ones
