It's about the smack talk and deceit and the shifting alliances and all the other factors that go into good drama.

It's predetermined. It's corny. It's simple. Often, the matches and promos are boring and predictable. It's pseudo-violent, and takes a real physical toll on its performers. It appeals to the lowest common denominator.

But when everything lines up for a great match or promo or skit, it is magic.

The night before Stewart took a chair to Cena. Although with as stale and boring as the character John Cena is, Stewart should have hit him harder.

But even if you dislike John Cena's tv character or politics, he does a lot of good as evidenced by having recently completed 500 make-a-wish visit.

I also think he has a good sense of humor based on some of the other things I've seen him do like playing himself on Parks and Recreation.

What are his politics?
