    No the reason why he has became "stale" is his current gimmick he has had for quite some time, and he is basically the "superman" of the raw show.

    It's the same for smackdown they have randy orton.

    The WWE creative writers are scared to play with these two faces or vince will not let them due to the amount of cash they are racking in, however it hurts the fans who want to see something new done with them.

    You raise a good point. He has been on top for far too long. However, I can also understand why Vince would want him to stay there. He draws.

    There are a few reasons why he became stale, among which are: lack of character change, limited/repetitive in-ring performance, constantly either holding the title or going after it, and the fact that we know how entertaining he used to be (Thugonomics, Chain Gang), compared to today. He's become a watered down, fan pandering, goody guy.

    I respect Cena for what he stands for and how hard he works. However, his gimmick is in desperate need of a makeover.

    I don't know why and how you got the idea that you could talk about Cena in this section. I am reporting you as abuse. This section is about the country Nepal which as nothing to do with Cena.

    The creative team knows that superman cena sells tickets, thus resulting in the overuse of his gimmick.

    You people have to remember that Hogan was still moving a lot of merchandise when he turned heel.

    Mainly because they still feel he's drawing a crowd. If people aren't talking about Sting then they're talking about Cena. Good or bad Cena and Orton gets a lot of attention.

    I think their ratings would actually go up if Cena suddenly went heel.
