Cena hate is so 2006. Come join us in 2022. Noting reality isn't hate. There are no shortage of WWE stars that I love that I would mock their movie careers. Edge is both a better wrestler and has been in better movies than Cena. His movie career is trash, despite him being one of my all time favorites. Kane is likewise a favorite of mine. Claiming that his bit part in McGruber makes him a Hollywood star is stupid. Cena has yet to have a hit. He never will have a hit. He's a great wrestler but a terrible actor. His best role was in Trainwreck where he was a gay dude pretending to be straight. I haven't seen him in any other movie where I haven't sighed after. I was a Cena fan before he even had a gimmick. But he is one of the worst actors to ever "Grace" Hollywood. No one in the world thinks he is even a competent actor, hence why he gets crap bit parts in bad movies and shows. Acting like the Suicide Squad and F9 weren't hits is just wrong. Those movies were huge whether you want to admit it or not.

“These hits weren’t hits because I didn’t like them!”

WM38 was the highest viewed WM in India apparently, it got around 56 million viewers.

“These hits weren’t hits because I didn’t like them!” Suicide squad wasn't a hit because it wasn't a hit. You liking it does not negate its poor performance. The movie cost over 185 million to make and made 168 million. That's a failure. If you disagree with facts, it doesn't matter. It lost 17 million dollars. That makes it a failure. My point isn't arguable. Noting that Cena is in F9 does not mean that F9 is successful because of him. Daddy's Home was a great movie. It had nothing to do with Cena's two second line at the end of the movie. The F&F series popularity provably has nothing to do with Cena. If I made the same claim about 5? because of Gina Carino, you would call me a moron, making my case because I liked Carino. You make the same case on 9, 4 movies later, and it's still wrong. Facts are what they are.

I watched fast 9 & suicide squad with Cena, both were good plus they made a killing at the box office. Suicide Squad lost money. No one, including the studio, claims it was a success. It was a dud. F&F 9, like all of its predecessors made money. It made less money than 6-8. It made less than Hobbs v Shaw. Cena is provably not the reason F&F made money.

I just checked and yes you are right, I enjoyed suicide squad but I didn’t know they lost money from the budget. I’d still say Cena has a really good movie career going on and he’ll progress every year. I remember Rock taking a long time for the fans to really consider him a big time Hollywood success.
