>>16881993the problem is that Cena buries them from a shoot point of view but wrestlers can't shoot back from that point of view because they don't know how. They don't know the limits. They fear they'll step out of line if they go too far and they don't know where to stop. So they paralyze.
When his opponent has the weapons to defend themselves, Cena gets cooked. Look at all the promos he had when CM Punk was a face/tweener. Punk absolutely buried Cena because he had nothing to throw back at Punk. The only time Cena beat Punk was when Punk became a cowardly heel and therefore was a bitch in kayfabe. If Cena were to go against Punk nowadays, he would be absolutely buried because what can he even throw at Punk that isn't a tired joke by now. That he left? That he lost in the UFC? That he gets injured all the time? All could be very easily turned against him and then some.
Another that can easily bury Cena nowadays is Drew. He would kill him if allowed. Roman would get his win back easily as well. Cody might struggle a bit but he could also easily embarass John.
