look at all the kids in the crowd go crazy we cena wins
I know, right? But, like, why? What's the victory worth when he never fucking loses? At least they gave Austin some vulnerability. They gave him powerful heels to face, and they had McMahon as an enemy. Cena doesn't have any enemies worth a shit, with the exception of Punk, who they promptly turned face.
I think that is the point that WWE needs to get better at building heels long term rather than just building them up and feeding them to faces too soon. Ultimately the heel is gonna be brought down by the face but there is too many instances where the rug got pulled from under these heels and stopped them from being estblished.What fucking vulnerability did face Austin have? He bitched Rock. He did it to the hottest heel that they had in HHH, who only came out on top by what the announcers referred to as a fluke when he fell on him in 3 stages of hell. He bitched Taker in his different variations. He would have bitched The Big Red Machine Kane if not for the fact the finish was screwed up. HBK took it from him, Foley did as well, and he belittled the fuck out of Jericho when he was undisputed champ heading into No Way Out where the nWo struggled to take him down 3 to 1. Don't even get me started about Jim kicking Bookers ass all over a Lafayette supermarket for the hell of it. Austin was the most protected guy the company had even over Hogan because not even Hulk could single handedly kick two rosters ass like they let him do in 2001 on Raw before Invasion with nothing besides a pool cue.
Cena really has no high level enemies because no one left from his generation or the currect truly compares to him and what he has done. Orton had the resume but history shows people don't go out their way to watch him on top. There was Edge who he had many epic wars with and made his and mitbs name at his expense. Then you had Dave who really is the one guy he will be intertwined in history much like you hear Austin/Rock or Flair/Hogan. He and Jeff never faced off when they were both huge. There just are few who stack up from his era and he really hasn't had the luxury of a bunch of matches with people from the past generation either outside of HBK since his interaction with HHH and Taker has been kept at ver limited level so the company could theoretically milk them when they needed a buy and ratings spike.
