![]() As most of you know, the Pile Driver is an extremely dangerous wrestling maneuver that was banned by the WWE a few years ago. I'm pretty sure the two guys pictured above (Vince McMahon and Triple H) have the most control and power when it comes to what goes on in the promotion.Īnother recent example that proves that John Cena doesn't call all the shots in WWE came after his epic Monday Night Raw match against CM Punk earlier this year.Īccording to Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince McMahon was furious after CM Punk gave a Pile Driver to John Cena. ![]() These statements provide some proof that John Cena doesn't "call all the shots" in WWE. Word now is that John Cena was the one to speak out. We noted a few weeks back that a top WWE Superstar lashed out at Vince McMahon backstage, pointing out that WWE's product was in trouble, the ratings were bad and Vince himself may be out of touch. Not all of them are going to be instant classics.īack in November 2012, reported the following: He may not put forth five-star rated matches every single night, but the guy has wrestled over 1,500 matches. If that's the case, Cena has competed in countless above average matches. Regardless of whom John Cena was working with and where those matches took place, try your best to make the argument that he was carried through every single one of them, let alone a match that was rated five stars.ĭave Meltzer, the guy who gives out these match star ratings and is one of WWE's biggest critics, has only given out five, five-star rated matches in WWE history and one of them has gone to John Cena.Īccording to Meltzer's ratings, an average match is scored around a 2.5. CM Punk at Money in the Bank 2011: *****Ĭena has also earned a number of four star rated matches as well. Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012: ****1/2 ![]() Randy Orton at Bragging Rights 2009: ****1/4 That's it.įor more proof, here is a list of John Cena's top rated singles matches: The only similarity between John Cena and Hulk Hogan is that they have superhero-like powers. That may have been true back in the Hulk Hogan days when things were a little less fast-paced, but John Cena is no Hulk Hogan. ![]() There is nothing more ridiculous than fans saying that the face of the WWE, the top guy in a professional wrestling company can't wrestle. And no, people didn't buy both WrestleMania's just to see The Rock, they bought them to see The Rock beat up John Cena. Want proof? Check out the WrestleMania 28 and 29 buy rates. Once again, it all comes down to money and no other full-time wrestler draws more cash than the current WWE champion. That is the reason why Cena main evented six more PPVs than the Second City Saint back in 2012. But when it comes to Vince McMahon's WWE, Cena is the top draw, not CM Punk. With that being said, if I was CM Punk, I'd be extremely pissed off and would feel cheated. That may be unfair to Punk, but even he knows that John Cena is the most recognizable professional wrestler on the planet today, aside from maybe The Rock and Hulk Hogan. That’s just a cold hard fact.ĭuring CM Punk's historic 434 day WWE Title reign in 2012, he only main evented three PPVs while John Cena main evented nine. Cena is the top guy in WWE, even when he doesn't have the WWE or World Heavyweight Title around his waist. John Cena has been highly criticized for hogging the main event spotlight, but that's only because the majority of wrestling fans want to see him compete in that spot. A lot of Superstars have their own four or five moves of doom, so there is no need to single out John Cena. He would sometimes add a Snap Suplex and a Back Breaker as well.Īside from the five moves of doom, Cena also uses a Fisherman's Suplex, a top-rope Leg Drop, Drop Kick, Cross Body, Belly to Belly Suplex, Bulldog, Throwback and the STF.Įvery single wrestler on the WWE roster is limited to the amount of moves they can use in a match. Now you could say that Randy Orton uses a Back Breaker and has now added an impressive T-Bone Suplex, but if you can see that Orton has more than five moves, you have to notice the fact that Cena has more than five moves. Randy Orton: 1) Clothesline 2) Clothesline 3) Powerslam 4) DDT 5) RKO.īret Hart: 1) Bulldog 2) Russian Leg Sweep 3) Atomic Drop 4) Elbow Drop 5) Sharpshooter John Cena: 1) Shoulder Block 2) Shoulder Block 3) Side Slam 4) Five Knuckle Shuffle 5) Attitude Adjustment. Ah yes, John Cena is often criticized for always using the same "five moves of doom", but come on guys and gals, is Cena the only Superstar who uses the same moves in virtually every match?
