Yep, Cena's promos are awful when he strays from the topic point which is the match or feud. He's okay when he talks about the match and stuff but when he tries to put a joke in there it always backfires. The jokes are either about poop or gay bashing.
Cena just doesn't know how to tell a decent "story" in his matches unless carried by a superior wrestler. My issue isn't with his promos (they are bad) but the fact that the guy is a really shitty wrestler. People bring up Hogan but he was able to carry the Ultimate Warrior in WM6.
This has been mentioned a little but Cena's moveset is pretty weak. Attitude Adjustment doesn't look like it hurts that much. The STFU is a joke and I think part of that is because Cena just doesn't apply enough pressure and the move looks weak as a result. Even a guy like Orton has more moves that look like they hurt (punt kick, RKO).
Cena has headlined the main event at Wrestlemania the last 8 years (soon to be 9). That's a long time for someone to be on top. I wonder who will do the heavy lifting in the Rock/Cena match. I'm praying it's the Rock because I have seen no evidence that Cena can do it. The Rock got a decent match out of Hogan in 2002 and I don't think he wants to embarrass himself in his ring return.
