Why this must be read: because being the nicest guy on the WWE's roster can't always be a good thing.

For the past few months, the WWE has been pushing Zack Ryder, who, up until recently, appeared on television mostly as a low-card jobber. Ryder's push was helped along by Cena, who even went as far as giving up a shot at the WWE Championship so Ryder could have a chance at the US title -- all because Ryder is his friend.
This character-based story (meaning it keeps kayfabe) explores a potential downside of Cena's predilection for always seeing the good in people -- he never considers that others might have ulterior motives.

AuntJackie does an excellent job of keeping Cena in character (his in-ring persona is particularly tough to get right), and her twist on Ryder's goofy character is fantastic. The story clips along nicely, too, with just the right balance of drama and porn.
