I see what you're saying, but at the root of the argument I still think Rock has no substance to his anti-Cena argument.
His whole point seems to be "John Cena is lame and he sucks, he's nowhere near as entertaining as people from my era were."
He's not offering any alternative, though. He hasn't pointed to anyone on the roster who would be better, or (better yet in Cena's eyes) showed Cena up by actually coming out even semi-regularly and being the entertainer he claims to be.
That's the whole crux of Cena's "at least I show up" rebuttal. He's never once denied anything Rock has said about who likes Cena and who hates Cena and why, he just says "Hey, it is what it is, but at least I'm out here doing the best I can."
If you say you care about the fanbase, and you think they deserve better than John Cena, and you have the stroke to do something about it, but you're not willing to do anything about it, you come across as just a big complainer who's just out there sucking up to the anti-Cena fanbase for ****s and giggles.
