I was never a fan of world champ Cena past about October 2005, it wasn't about le movez (originally marked for Goldberg), I just found him very boring in comparison to other guys. So a guy I found dull being pushed as the top guy for years wore thin. But Roman is something else.
Cenas promos were 99% of the time cornball hyuck hyuck pre 09 or post 09, "fine speech, here's a burial".
His matches were pretty repetitive and dull but that was more about being fed up him winning, the finish was always telegraphed.
But his feuds generally had heat and cool shit and even if I generally found whoever he was up against more interesting the builds generally had good stuff.
Roman is all of Cenas problems dialled to 2000.
He used to be a cornball promo, now he's just a slow, repetitive fake aura talker.
He's tediously plodding in the ring, the pace is somnifying and the repeat finishes makes Super Cena and RoT HHH look so varied in comparison.
His feuds basically have no heat. Just a rolling rota of faces saying they'll beat him while he holds up a finger, ACKNOWLEDGE ME, GOD MODE, buries the other guy with semi meta shit.
He's not even got a good look and I'm tired of pretending he does. Handsome but not remarkable face, physique and gear that just looks like any generic mixed race gymbro.
Walking and talking slowly with castlevania music isn't an aura
Commentary insisting you're Mt Rushmore and GOAT win machine while seething that you always cheat ten minutes later like an amnesiac is not an aura.
He's trash and it's an indictment of how bad AEW is that WWE is hot with Reigns on top. I can only think COVID, AEWs decline, and Stockholm syndrome is why people have accepted Reigns. He objectively never deserved to be higher than midcard solo, just like the Usos solo shouldn't even make midcard and Solo Sikoa is comedy jobber Umaga.
