Everlong wrote: He's in the position he is entirely because WWE wanted him to be, despite the fans pushing back for the majority of his career. The WWE was desperate for another name to be the face of their brand after Rock and Austin left, and they nearly had it with Brock Lesnar, but he couldn't handle the schedule and dipped early. So when Lesnar left, they forced the issue with Cena rather than waiting for someone to rise to the top naturally.

Daz wrote:It's not a question of talent. He's been on top for over ten years. He's been carrying the company for over ten years. That qualifies him for the top 3 at least, regardless of work rate. And if we're being honest, Cena's work rate should never be questioned. the amount he does for the WWE, regardless of whether you like his character and in ring performance, is absolutely insane.
DanielsonTHAGOAT wrote:You can't blame poor booking on Cena. Guys like Stone Cold and The Rock have taken the ball like Cena and have ran with it but I think Cena's ran with the ball longer than Hogan, SCSA, or Rocky ever have which is impressive. Cena is also played a huge part in two eras, the Ruthless Aggression era and PG Era(or Reality Era/Kayfabe 2.0 Era).
