I don't mind Cena giving up. The way I took it, John Cena would never give up (except to the ankle lock sometimes). But, at that point he was no longer John Cena. That was the end of that character. The person John Cena knew he couldn't be the character John Cena anymore, which has been kind of clear based on the smoke and mirrors that have been used during this last run. It was time to just accept that.
And that could have been the perfect way to end John Cena's career... except that this last run was so scattershot. The whole iffy heel run culminating in a loss to Cody, getting dominated by Brock, getting kicked in the balls by Liv. Cena's had so many high profile losses lately that you just wanted to see him get one last really big moment.
Overall the whole John Cena retirement was kind of mediocre. There were some really fun moments, but some really puzzling choices made. And with this being the retirement of the biggest star in the past couple of decades, I get a lot of people feeling a bit deflated. Royal Rumble's around the corner, so hopefully a good opportunity to get out of the little slump WWE has been on.
