5 reasons John Cena is washed up and 5 reasons why he's still 'Big Match' John

Washed up: He's become a caricature of himself

Many believe Cena is too cartoony for the modern era.

John Cena has been doing the Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect schtick for thirteen years.

Thirteen long, long, years.

While other wrestlers of his generation constantly re-invent themselves, John relies on what brought him to the dance and is essentially static in his development. Just look at Randy Orton. He's gone from Legend Killer to a psycho who 'hears voices' to the Apex predator to the Viper. While all of these personas are Randy Orton, they are all distinct enough to add variety to his career.

Meanwhile, John Cena is still John Cena.
