Cena on Some Fans Dislike of Modern WWE and Nostalgia for the Attitude Era

The Independent held a recent interview with John Cena and one of the topic discussed involved the dislike of modern WWE by some fans. Cena believes a lot of this dislike is due to people having too much nostalgia for the Attitude Era and not liking WWE catering to more audiences than the very specific male audience from the Attitude Era days.

“What I love the most about it – next time you watch – so they always shoot the ring in a certain way, it’s called the hard camera shot. Look beyond everything, look at the audience, that’s the perfect picture of what I love, it’s everybody. And that’s why – I mean you wanna go deep down the rabbit hole – that’s why everybody nowadays is polarising, because our audience is too big, so that’s one of the problems that we have to fix but at the same time it’s a great problem because if your audience is the world how are you going to please everybody?”
