Let's be honest, he was never a draw.
Since he became the top guy in 2005, ratings have steadily declined and he never become a cultural icon like Hogan, Austin and Dwayne. The best he could achieve was a few internet memes.
Idiot

Nice bait faggot

The reason ratings increased in 2006 was people thinking "is this really happening? Are we really witnessing the fall of WWE as we know it or will they just fire him?" The moment they found out it was the former they stopped watching again.

Nah, ratings increased in 2006 thanks to Edge.
Cena killed wrestling, anyone thats not a cenation mark knows this

This
Vince never tried to make new stars and fed everyone to Cena. Now that Cena is in the tail end of his career things are going to fall off a cliff.

Cena didn't kill wrestling because marks and kids bought his merch. You really think the average wrestling fan watches Bullet Club matches and knows the lore behind the Cueto family?
Vince failed to build a new cash cow, I agree. But Cena was a success in the ways that mattered to Vince and Dunn.
>tfw wootists and redditors try to be so contrarian to fit in that they started hating BMJ

>Cena killed wrestling
Cena sells merch to kids like a motherfucker, but he was never over. The anti-Cena crowd has been here since he started, its not new. The fact he and Triple H rarely put people over hurt the business a bit, but they weren't the death nail.
Going public, going general audience, wellness policy, failed showbiz writers, MMA and a variety of other distractions killed wrestling.

all tv viewership is down since 05

The problem is that Raw ratings is falling at a faster percentage rate than the average. It has been for a while

The fact that chances are no one will break as many wishes as john cena has speaks volumes on how over he is.
Its not late 2006-2014 Its been established at least the past two years that the tides have turned.
There is legitimately not much reason to hate john cena anymore. If hogan was a draw where did all his money go why does he whore himself out to whoever will pay them.
Bruno was the kind of draw that retired and lived off his earning.
Something hogan really can't say he has.
Why do you think he attacked gawker.
Nigga had no money
Saw that money was to be made.
Sued them.

Divorce

Really since pastamania?
Since every side movie part he took?
A crappy reality show
How many wives did he lose one?
Flair lost almost as many wives as king Henry the 8th.
So flairs prettt broke from 8 wives but he manages.
Seriously think about it.
If you made all of this money why would you still work when your 60s 70s.
If i made ten mil after taxes after like four years worth of work id literally never work again.
And id live hella comfortably
