Notice how the thread immediately went to to excuses and off topic character discussion. Cena's a good worker. And when he was a midcarder in 2002 no one was afraid to say it. In 2012 however........

that's my hero. 
Oh yeah..he NO fukkING SELLS. Anyone have the audacity to say he's a "good" worker and these matches are good when he no sells like motherfukker. Kicked out of Big Show's KO punch and that Ziggler finisher like it wasn't nothing. 
Nobody been able to answer the question yet.![]()

, and in the Ziggler match at the PPV, he did some awful transitions and the fans in Brooklyn, who are not pandering fans of the regular accord, let him know how terrible that bullshyt was. And like a 10 year old backyard wrestler, he tried to appease to a fanbase that knew he was phony. It was so damn silly. But then again..everything about Cena is silly and is a leading reason why people are so amped for names to return for WM season.Notice how the thread immediately went to to excuses and off topic character discussion.

Yep. Now you can't have get credit for a good match unless the guy is your same skill level or less, it's one on one and has no gimmicks![]()

This is where the IWC definition of "workrate" clashes with its traditional definition.
The goal of any wrestler is to get a crowd reaction. Traditionally, that's what workrate truly measures: the ability to get the crowd to react to your actions in the ring, regardless of what you are actually doing to get those reactions.
That's why names like Jerry Lawler get mentioned in conversations about the best workers in history. Even Hulk Hogan qualifies in that sense. And if you do go by that measure, Cena's workrate is pretty high.
The IWC cares way too much about technical ability when they talk about workrate. I don't know if Cena is truly bothered by "you can't wrestle" chants, but he shouldn't be, as long as he keeps getting crowd reactions during his matches.
