But I feel like he's right. More than any demographic, the WWE is for children, and the way Cena resonates with sick children constantly gets overlooked.

yo he called Zeb "the bad guy from Sonic the Hedgehog"
and who did he call the WWE version of Dane Cook? Miz?

At least when Rey bonded with the kiddies I felt it was genuine.
But then Cena is so manufactured, it's hard to relate to anything he does as being genuine.

How is it overlooked when WWE makes video packages for it. The whole roster does that stuff but it isn't thrown in the spotlight.

Kids love roided up adulterers. They loved Edge too.
Ugh, Cena. That promo felt like classic Cena sabotaging the other person by diffusing anything the other person could say. He literally talked about helping a kid with cancer, how do you respond to that? He did the same thing with the Rock by making fun of himself so much it took all the ammunition away.

Did they? Last I remembered Punk informed everyone how much he respected Cena, the whole point of Bryan's feud is that he doesn't respect Cena but he's unable to actually elaborate on why beyond "You're not a wrestler!" because that will ruin the image of Cena that the WWE pushes down every-bodies throat.
It just annoyed me because it flat out killed Bryan's nuclear heat with the crowed. He wasn't allowed to point out why Cena's "I'm so special, I do everything for the fans!" stick is bullshit and it made him look like a selfish jerk who only cared about being the better wrestler.

Using Make A Wish kids in your promo constantly is like the babyface equivalent of cheap heat. That stuff should be kept out of promos. There's nothing anyone can comeback with without looking like a TOTAL douche. I call foul on Cena's usage of sick children.
Everyone remotely notable in WWE does work for Make A Wish and charities. Cena's work is the only one that gets airtime on WWE and video packages for it, thus I find it a hollow talking point. Especially Cena's story about the sick kid that only wanted to see Cena, when Bryan has done the exact same thing, with a sick boy that was Bryan's biggest fan and only wanted to see him.

But I think it means more coming from the face of the company. I remember reading a crazy stat from the Observer that said something like Cena works like 320 days a year, divided between rasslin and charity. I think that's something the marks tend to ignore when they're bitching about "5 moves of doom" and "same old shit" while clamoring for a world champion that does space flying tiger drops and rolling germans.

Someone will call Cena out on his hypocrisy eventually. I have faith.
The Miz could do that shit for 365 days out of the year. Doesn't mean I'd want him as perpetual champion, no-selling everyone, cutting his opposition's legs out from under them and it wouldn't make his figure four any better, either.

You're correct. This is one of those times where HHH against Cena could work as Hunter just doesn't give a fuck.

Does he have to eliminate himself when he's done?

I'm over battle royals. They're the laziest match to both book and work. Seriously, I dare you to find an easier match type.

Has there ever been a good battle royal?
Nope. WWE broke the battle royal concept when they created the Royal Rumble, which staggers entrants and keeps the action fresh while limiting the time where the ring is clouded with a clusterfuck of superstars.

A Kelly Kelly divas match where she flails around delivering weak-limbed offense and small packages her opponent to win.
Battle royals are a close 2nd, though.

See that's good, but it only works for a complete jerkface heel who's willing to dip into X-Pac heat territory. Daniel Bryan can't do that. Hell, NO ONE in the company can say that right now, but that's another topic.
It's just cheap. Cena's using cheat codes and his opponents can't even do nothing. There's no mods on the server, there's no punkbuster, there's no nothing.
