You can't really silence Cena "Critics", they just find new reasons to hate him or go back to the old "He Buried X wrestler therefor he can no longer do any right".
But what the hell does he need to do to fix something thats creative's fault? hmm... Maybe he can do back flips. LOL most of those "burials" happened 7-8 years ago. I say "Burial" in quotes because loosing = Burial apprently hahahaa
that's one instance, some of the most beloved wrestlers have done it on more the one occasion, yet most people still love them and don't hate on them for it, he made 1 mistake, how long are people gonna hold that shit against him
He's earned my respect. I think the singing "John Cena sucks" song/chants has put him right up there with the Kurt Angle chants, where it's different than the original actually vitriol chants, now turned into a playful embrace. I'm a genuine Cena fan because of 2015.
Pedro Gomez In Punk's reign he couldn't barely get out of the midcard, in 2012 Punk wasn't even in the main event of wrestlemania 28. It was Rock vs Cena. Same as Wrestlemania 29 it was Rock vs Cena not Punk vs Undertaker
Punk already had a 5 stars match way before with Samoa Joe in RoH. And it baffles me to this day that the Punk-Cena match got a 5 stars and the Punk-Brian at Over the Limit didn't....
I miss Cena tbh. Amazing on the mic, never uses scripted lines, gets involved in amazing rivalries, good at selling and wrestling. Once hes gone people will definitely miss him including myself
Incorrect, john cena didn't wanna throw edge like that off the ladder that's why he had that look on his face after he won the title. How do I know? Because I own the john cena DVD "it's my life"....
I mean, WWE sometimes makes up shit, like triple H complaining about getting squashed by warrior on one DVD and saying the match was an honor on another.
Cena is the kind of guy that nobody will truly appreciate until he's gone. Even with all the awesome young talent that's coming up, it's obvious WWE is lacking a bonafide star to put them over.
Hell Blazer people like you are so dumb, you don't have a fantastic match with one guy doing all the work, besides and this is a common complaint with John but you hear John calling spots which means that John is the ring general which means John's the one really carrying the match, let's just piss you and all the internet marks off
Dalee2488 that Cena calls the moves doesn't means nothing, obviously is more expirienced on a wwe ring, but he still looks heavy in every move while AJ (and other talented wrestlers) makes him look strong
none of what you just said makes sense how can you call the moves and be carried at the same time and saying he looks heavy, hes bloody 6 foot 1 and 250 lbs of muscle, i am so fucking sick of this indie mark bullshit where if you cant do a fucking tope it means you cant wrestle john cena arguably has been the most consistent wwe performer of all time who always puts in his all and with the hundreds of amazing matches hes had over the years its you marks that have the mentality that every opponent hes faced has carried him, thats just absolutely bullshit.
I've been thinking since around the mid-to-late 2000's that the main problem with Cena wasn't Cena, but Vince McMahon. McMahon is notoriously risk-averse (excepting perhaps the Attitude Era when WCW gave him no choice lest his get beaten in the Monday Night War, and even then Austin was booked at least as strongly as Cena has been), typically having one guy dominate the roster for an extended period; Sammartino, Hogan, Hart/Michaels (arguably the period that was the biggest exception), Austin, Cena and now Roman Reigns (even if the final word on this is yet to be written). On top of that, he likely wanted Cena to avoid injury as much as possible in order to maximise profit on him, leading Cena to usually only take risks in his matches and stray from the general script when absolutely necessary such as Wrestlemania or a blow-off match to end a major rivalry. Cena always deserved to be the guy to carry the company. Should he have had a heel run? Should he have been sharing the spotlight more with other wrestlers? Should he have put over more guys? Should he have taken more risks and had more variety in his matches? I'd say yes. I'd also say that he would have done so had the ones directing him told him to instead of, as I strongly suspect, guiding him to limit the risks he took. He is genuinely one of the all-time greats and only poor and boring booking can make it seem otherwise.
Markus Flydd I wish Cena would stay for at least one more year, maybe more, because I want to see him do three things: 1. I want him to turn heel. I feel like it would be historic seeing Cena being a heel. 2. I want to see Cena win the intercontinental championship. It’s the only one he hasn’t one and I wanna see him treat it like he did the US championship. 3. I want him to beat Ric Flair’s WWE championship record. Od rather him end with this feat, then we could have him have a bit of a long reign with it, then we can have some mid-card wrestler challenge Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. It could be a classic underdog story, someone who really looks up to Cena and then has to fight him to become champion, then, when Cena loses and this underdog becomes champion, Cena gives him a respectful handshake and raises his hand. Then Cena can retire from WWE with the beautiful send off he deserves
I'm a firm believer that John Cena carried the WWE through some rough times. People sometimes forget that from 2005 to about 2008 WWE was going down any way. A lot of stars were leaving or had already left and some had multiple injuries. John Cena was one of the only wrestlers during that time who 1. Was for the most part not injured and 2. He was over with the fans. Plus you can't blame all of WWE sucking on Cena. Please remember that people gave exactly zero shits about the US, IC, and Women's titles during that time. There is no fucking way that is Cena's fault. Yea after 2008 it went overboard but besides the Nexus and Alex Riley a lot of blame should be put on the WWE itself.
yes he does, cena always sucked and will always suck, its just hes getting old and doesnt appear much anymore and now ppl miss him cuz ppl always want smothing they dont have anymore, i still realize he sucks tho
You can chant John cena sucks if you don't like him, but DON'T chant it because you actually think he can't wrestle. Seriously he's put on a lot of great matches over the years with punk, Michaels, KO, Aj, Cesaro, etc. Respect the man whose been here over 15 years and does everything for the company and its fans
The 2 biggest stars over the last 7 years John Cena put over Cm Punk and Daniel Bryan. The Nexus was not good or interesting until CM Punk took over. Wade Barret was extremely boring with everything he did in WWE.
why do people still think Cena gets to decide on who he puts over? He's a company man, and if the company tells him to put someone over, he'll do it. Same goes for when they tell him to go over
it ain't the 80s anymore, the last person to have control over what happens to his character was the Undertaker, and they did it because they trust him in not misusing it. If creative control was related to merch sales.. a lot of people would have had control over their character and the company would be in a constant rehash of Hogan's Hulkamania ego trip.
I agree with you, but I think most people's misgivings about that come from the way Cena acted with the whole Nexus thing. I could be wrong, but that's what makes sense to me, and goodness knows John Cena has himself admitted since that was a mistake.
What John did to help launch Kevin Owens' career was amazing. From the moment Kevin first entered the ring totally without fear, even stomping on the US title belt, to eventually defeating John for the title, I'm sure John realized, as the fans would too, that a star was being born that night.
I'm glad you mentioned Cena/Umaga at the Rumble '07, because that was actually the first thing that popped in my head once the video started. Very underrated match, in my opinion.
plus to be fair up till recently due to out of wwe work cena was one of the hardest working guys in the company showing up before everyone and leaving after everyone at every show televised or house
I started watching WWE during the ruthless agression era, particularly in 2002 during John Cena's debut. So I've seen almost everything he did in his career and he became one of my heroes. He's one of the most resilient workers and you can definitely see his love for sports entertainment.
The US Title Open Challenge was one of the best things to happen to Raw in years and years. It was legit exciting to know every week you were going to see a pretty good-to-great match with someone often unexpected who was gonna get a chance to really bring it. It gave you a reason to watch Raw, which there are very few of.
US Open Challenge, best moments of Raw each and every time it happened, I remember waiting and waiting for one random mid-carder to come and just maybe, win the big one. That's the effect of buiding a Mega-star.
I wouldn't say eithet of them are ring generals. That's a term that gets thrown around too often nowadays. Ring generals are MASTERS of constructing a match and could pull out a 5 star classic with a pot of spaghetti if they needed to. Example: Bret Hart dragging a drugged up Davey Boy Smith through a 5 star classic when DBS was barely even aware he was wrestling. That is the mark of a ring general. Two 50 year old men (Taker and Shawn) putting on a 5 star classic in the twilight of their careers is another great example. An argument coule be made now for Edge and Cena being on that level but I wouldn't give them that label as early on in their careers as those mstches took place.
Cena gets a lot of heat, but in the end he’s been in a lot of quality matches and he really knows to make his rivals look good. I mean, he knows the spots where he is not good and makes his rivals exploit them. And in the end, that makes him credible as a wrestler.
What are you talking about? He's done a bunch of videos this week like RAW ups and downs and at least two Why videos. He wasn't able to do the Backlash ups and downs, but that's all he missed.
Their are people that hate on John... They say that he should retire... But c'mon John has one of the best careers of all time(in my opinion) He deserves respect... He has it all... just take a look at his career. He is an amazing wrestler...
As an early 90's kid (30 now) Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker were our heroes. I only got back into wrestling in 2014 since I lost interest in 2001, but I can appreciate John Cena's value to the industry, and how important he is, and I was one of many that would've liked to have finally seen that Cena vs. Taker match at Wrestlemania this year. I would've been happy to see Taker give it up to Cena, cause at the end of the day, he's earned it. I don't hate Reigns, but I still find it hard to find such a legend fall to him.
Johan Hoekstra well that's true but why there promoting jinders Punjabi heritage and not just him as a indian is odd since Punjab is no we're near the most populous region in India but yeh you're right.
I used to HATE Cena, but in recent years that's kind of cooled. Partially because of things like on this list. He's put on much better matches and is more willing to help up-and-comers get over. Now if only they could use him to fix Roman Reigns...
I've said repeatedly, Cena/Michaels is not talked about enough. Beautiful psychology, great story and turning point in Cena's career. He went in as a star guy and walked out as THE star.
he doesn't suck. do i miss the dr. of thuganomics? yup! are we stuck with pg john cena? yup! cena himself doesnt suck, he's still cena, it just sucks he can't go back to his original gimmick which was pure gold
Literally 7 FUCKING YEARS AGO! He's done so much for the company since then, including make stars out of Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayne, Kevin Owens, and AJ Styles to name a few. Even greats like Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair can't say the same. Not to mention, the man is full time wrestler that puts on fantastic matches REGULARLY! Face it, Cena's always been an amazing performer, and as of the last two and a half years, you have absolutely no excuse to dislike John Cena outside of personal preference. Right now, he's arguable the best in ring performer the WWE has.
His promos in recent times should've been on this list as an honorable mention! John Cena has definitely improved A LOT over the years. As much as people will disagree with me, I'm actually looking forward to John Cena actually breaking Ric Flair's 16 world championship record, he definitely should do it before he leaves WWE for good (with a lengthy reign tho)
Hes had good matches, doesn't make up for all the people hes buried, tried to bury and backstage politics and general douchebaggery and never will He only puts over a wrestler when he knows he gets the upper hand on a later match and dont give me the make a wish bullshit, all wrestlers do that stuff
stawg007 I think your still stuck in the past bro. He beat bray Wyatt but lost clean to Him later on 2 times. He lost to AJ 3 times clean and only one once. Lost to Ambrose clean. The dude has basically tried his best to fix what he has done.
I agree that hes been better than hes been in the past(although maybe thats just because hes not on the show as much anymore) but theres the problem Before the last year or so it was burial after burial and even now in his later years he still not doing what he should Bray Wyatt should have been him clean at Wrestlemania, killed his momentum Rusev should have beat him clean at Wrestlemania, killed his momentum and Miz really deserved so much better after the last year he had but no, Cena had to go over for his shitty fake as hell proposal As for AJ, yeah he lost a few times, only to beat him in the last encounter for his record breaker and i have no doubt he only lost to The Rock because he knew he was going to come out top the following year The guy could put over guys in every match he has for the next few years and it still wont make up for all the harm hes done
If he loses every match like anti cena fans want him to them he desnt really put people over, he would be a jobber. He needs to win to have some credibility so when people do beat him it means something
stawg007 You Cena haters will never be satisfied will you? You judge Cena for abusing his power when you would have done the exact same thing if you were in his shoes.
Cena doesnt decide when he wins and loses. At most he decides how they end like the Nexus (Whiche he even later admitted was a mistake on his part.) So I dont even know why you up and decided he doesnt deserve respect.
Sub - Zero i not necessarily talking about who he "beat".. I'm talking about guys like Mr Kennedy/Anderson or Alex Riley where his influence backstage basically ended there careers and that nexus thing shows the influence he had..
Over an ending he regretted doing, which a selfish person would not care about..Also he didnt hurt Kennedy that was Randy,and the Alex Riley thing was more a matter of Alex not being respectful backstage which every veteran is pretty much supposed to call out. IF your going to cal out one call out all of the vets whos issues with others have screwed them not just Cena.
Sub - Zero have you heard what Kennedy has said on the situation? he and Randy where good friends they use to ride together, he spoke to Orton after the match and apologies a number of over and over again then after he left the locker room as Cena walked in and next thing he knows he's been released.. as for hurting him, he toted as the next Stone cold and was about to giving a major main event push.. and had it happen he could of been one of the biggest names in wwe. (That is clearly Cena protecting his spot) and with Riley it was him standing up himself after hazing jokes if Cena got offended by that, that is extremely pathetic and not to mention Riley was also toted as a future huge star.. I just find it awfully convenient that a group of guys (A-Ry, Kennedy and Nexus) who could of potential have as if not bigger than Cena all had there WWE runs halted by a decision that Cena made that he supposedly thought was right..
Masood Gilani Simon isn't necessarily better, he's just as good and has the plus of being ready for whatever Whatculture wants him to do. Personally, I like Simon, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and is very hard working.
Masood Gilani Easy to be a work horse when you have no other job there. Also, reading a script and putting minimal to no character behind what you're reading, gets no easier than that. If he isn't on screen while reading, he puts in minimal effort
Cena was really awesome to the point of 2008 (except for ECW fans), really good matches, good feuds, when he make his return at 08 rumble people was popping out the building for him, but something had changue, Cena returned as super cena and as the years go he never let go that gimmick, i´m glad he´s earned a lot of respect in the last years.
Almost all these matches were nothing but kick out matches, that's lazy storytelling and bad selling. John cena is bad at selling, he is sloppy in doing moves, does nothing for the majority of the match and can only have a good match when they kick out of three finishers though out the match. John cena has not silenced me, the only match he had that wasn't a kick out fest was cm punk mitb 2011 and the reasons why are highly obvious. During his reign the ratings have decreased, he may be a draw but that's due to longevity, he has basically caused millions of fans to become quote smarks and look for alternatives in the indy scene. He is the most overrated top guy wwe have ever had. He has never draw near he amount that and 16 time champion should have gotten. The fact that he is compared to austin, flair, hogan and sammartino is a travesty he is a lex luger who can talk well that's all.
It's not John Cena's fault for the run long runs he had, I put Randy in the same basket. After most of the top wrestlers retired or left the company during the period of 2009-2011 I think, there was a lack of top talent and WWE instead of giving other people a chance they left Cena and Orton as champions which led to making the product less entertaining. WWE should have push tguys from the Nexus and a couple more guys to the top card which would give more diversity to the card. The only 2 they gave a chance was THe Miz, he was always good but people only now are realising( and the push failed because of that) it and Cm Punk although he had already won the World Heavyweight champion he wasn't considered by the company a top guy.
10 Times Roman Reigns Silenced His Critics 10. The Year 2014 9. vs. Kevin Owens 8. vs. Braun Strowman 7. vs. Sheamus 6. vs. Rusev 5. vs. Seth Rollins 4. vs. Bray Wyatt 3. vs. Daniel Bryan 2. vs. AJ Styles 1. vs. Brock Lesnar
I remember his match against Michaels. It was amazing, and that was more than likely through the eyes of a teenager who was slowly drifting away from wrestling. Been years, can barely remember shit nowadays. lol
You can't really silence Cena "Critics", they just find new reasons to hate him or go back to the old "He Buried X wrestler therefor he can no longer do any right".
jazzmaster909 maybe because he did
But what the hell does he need to do to fix something thats creative's fault? hmm... Maybe he can do back flips. LOL
most of those "burials" happened 7-8 years ago.
I say "Burial" in quotes because loosing = Burial apprently hahahaa
that's one instance, some of the most beloved wrestlers have done it on more the one occasion, yet most people still love them and don't hate on them for it, he made 1 mistake, how long are people gonna hold that shit against him
jazzmaster909 Not many people that think the same way you do. The hate on cena is purely childish idiots that don't understand the wrestling business.
they hate him cause when ever hes wrestling they cant see the full match
theres only one guy in the ring
He's earned my respect. I think the singing "John Cena sucks" song/chants has put him right up there with the Kurt Angle chants, where it's different than the original actually vitriol chants, now turned into a playful embrace. I'm a genuine Cena fan because of 2015.
If you remember the punk-Cena feud started over a bottle of soda
aaron gonsalves can diet soda
aaron gonsalves "He spilled my diet soda!"
aaron gonsalves it ended before WM 27 but started again when Punk won a #1 contenders match
aaron gonsalves "John! John my diet soda!!"
aaron gonsalves I thought I was the only one...
Forgot to mention that in addition to the feud with Punk, both ended up having a 5 star match under their belt
Pedro Gomez In Punk's reign he couldn't barely get out of the midcard, in 2012 Punk wasn't even in the main event of wrestlemania 28. It was Rock vs Cena. Same as Wrestlemania 29 it was Rock vs Cena not Punk vs Undertaker
LDBrock 729 That was some BS. Cena hogged the entire main event that year and all it took was for him to get hurt for him to not do it all year
Pedro Gomez Yep
Punk already had a 5 stars match way before with Samoa Joe in RoH.
And it baffles me to this day that the Punk-Cena match got a 5 stars and the Punk-Brian at Over the Limit didn't....
Nicolas Frasson That match is criminally underrated but the ending could have hurt it. Either way it was great
raw is red
smackdown is blue
cena silences his critics
by kicking out at 2
jumb0 this has made my morning. Thanks mate.

Stole from sports entertainment
This comment wins the Internet for the day :P
You hypocrites say Bradshaw should be fired for bullying but say nothing about Cena bullying Alex Riley and others.
I don't care what people say John Cena made the US title more important then the WWE Title at the time 😂
Sean Whovian I fully agree with you on this one
_T R U E_
Seth Rollins was a garbage champion
I completely forgot who the WWE champion was in 2015 because of the U.S. Open challenge I won hundred percent agree
True and yet Seth Rollins was the Champion who had great character work and had a nice match with Sting
4:44 Cena didn't have a TLC match in 2016, it was a No Mercy Match.
Aryan Bhattacharya I'm glad someone else noticed that because when I first saw it, I was like 'wait a minute...'
Aryan Bhattacharya yea I was about to point that out too
Aryan Bhattacharya don't worry i am sure that king rose will punish who ever did that mistake.
Q MAN rocks its king Ross u idiot
Taylor Jackson u stopid idiot i called him king rose cause he is going to Arouse from his wounds and kill that bloody JBL agent!!.
I miss Cena tbh. Amazing on the mic, never uses scripted lines, gets involved in amazing rivalries, good at selling and wrestling. Once hes gone people will definitely miss him including myself
Zack krohn Good at selling? I hope you're talking about merch.
Michael Rivera John Cena I'd actually a pretty good wrestler dude. Yeah sure he's overhyped as fuck but the guy can definitely sell a good a match.
kickin29 He can't sell moves for shit now.
Char Aznable yeah that 5 star match with punk was terrible.....
Char Aznable so zack ryders better than him?
Incorrect, john cena didn't wanna throw edge like that off the ladder that's why he had that look on his face after he won the title. How do I know? Because I own the john cena DVD "it's my life"....
I mean, WWE sometimes makes up shit, like triple H complaining about getting squashed by warrior on one DVD and saying the match was an honor on another.
Triple H has changed over the last 10 years. In 2006 he was still pissed at Warrior for not wanting to do business correctly.
Cena is the kind of guy that nobody will truly appreciate until he's gone. Even with all the awesome young talent that's coming up, it's obvious WWE is lacking a bonafide star to put them over.
thats cause the audience cant see him and their tying to WATCH the match
Got that right
Damn man right on the money
"awesome young talent" lmfao no.
Spot on
Cena Vs Styles at Summerslam was awesome!
oh shut up
MrWazzup112 Aj carried that matches against Cena.
Hell Blazer people like you are so dumb, you don't have a fantastic match with one guy doing all the work, besides and this is a common complaint with John but you hear John calling spots which means that John is the ring general which means John's the one really carrying the match, let's just piss you and all the internet marks off

Great strategy Whatculture, make John Cena video with Plumpy Voice, they get automatic 1+ Million views
Matt Kron this video, as of 8/21/17, still has under 500k views...
I'm a firm believer that John Cena carried the WWE through some rough times. People sometimes forget that from 2005 to about 2008 WWE was going down any way. A lot of stars were leaving or had already left and some had multiple injuries. John Cena was one of the only wrestlers during that time who 1. Was for the most part not injured and 2.

There is no fucking way that is Cena's fault. Yea after 2008 it went overboard but besides the Nexus and Alex Riley a lot of blame should be put on the WWE itself.
Yeah there was the whole Benoit tragedy too, WWE had tons of bad publicity.
John Cena doesn't suck anymore honestly. Those chants are already *OBSOLETE*
shut up obselete mule
DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!
When did Matt Hardy become a Cyberman?
yes he does.
He has been an amazing wrestler for years now. And he actually outshines AJ a lot during their feud.
yes he does, cena always sucked and will always suck, its just hes getting old and doesnt appear much anymore and now ppl miss him cuz ppl always want smothing they dont have anymore, i still realize he sucks tho
Other criticisms aside....
Saying Cena can't wrestle is dumb
Look at his debut match against Kurt Angle....
The relief of hearing Adam's voice is orgasmic
Evan Lambert Adam? Isnt this Plumpy?
Adam Plumpied
who's adam? plumpy was doing the video not adam pacitti
Some Dude I think you should probably get help
Some Dude He needs Mike pence shock therapy
You can chant John cena sucks if you don't like him, but DON'T chant it because you actually think he can't wrestle. Seriously he's put on a lot of great matches over the years with punk, Michaels, KO, Aj, Cesaro, etc. Respect the man whose been here over 15 years and does everything for the company and its fans
Gotta give Cena respect
Tim theStormtrooper Nah
LDBrock 729 why?
The1whofights I mean if I don't like him I don't need to respect him but it's just my opinion
I do respect him, but he did stonewall a lot of up and coming talent. Even cena admitted him beating all of nexus for example, was a bad thing.
The 2 biggest stars over the last 7 years John Cena put over Cm Punk and Daniel Bryan. The Nexus was not good or interesting until CM Punk took over. Wade Barret was extremely boring with everything he did in WWE.
why do people still think Cena gets to decide on who he puts over? He's a company man, and if the company tells him to put someone over, he'll do it. Same goes for when they tell him to go over
I'm pretty fuckin certain, for all the merch he's selling, he gets to decide what happens to his character.
Simon Lindner he plays backstage politics
it ain't the 80s anymore, the last person to have control over what happens to his character was the Undertaker, and they did it because they trust him in not misusing it. If creative control was related to merch sales.. a lot of people would have had control over their character and the company would be in a constant rehash of Hogan's Hulkamania ego trip.
Simon Lindner Exactly
I agree with you, but I think most people's misgivings about that come from the way Cena acted with the whole Nexus thing. I could be wrong, but that's what makes sense to me, and goodness knows John Cena has himself admitted since that was a mistake.

I started watching WWE during the ruthless agression era, particularly in 2002 during John Cena's debut. So I've seen almost everything he did in his career and he became one of my heroes. He's one of the most resilient workers and you can definitely see his love for sports entertainment.
my top 5 favorite cena feuds are :
1. Edge
2. Aj styles
3. cm punk
4. hbk
5. kevin owens
@Juste Khiro Orton and Cena is an all time rival but their feuds I think still great but not so much Like those 5 (plus The Rock Feuds)
The US Title Open Challenge was one of the best things to happen to Raw in years and years. It was legit exciting to know every week you were going to see a pretty good-to-great match with someone often unexpected who was gonna get a chance to really bring it. It gave you a reason to watch Raw, which there are very few of.
*hears adam*
*hits like *
marilena fintani Do you hear voices in your head? Who's Adam?
Right? Adam was definitely not in this video, this was Plumpy.
Zachary Shade his full name is Adam plumpy
marilena fintani same lol
Sun's Gunchucks I think it's bamplied but ok
CENA>ROMAN
Syklone they have been teasing a Cena vs reigns for a long time
The same bullshit criticisms that were once aimed at John Cena are now being aimed at Roman Reigns.
But, they're still bullshit.
Joseph Schmoe Roman is way worse than cena WAY WORSE
Yap, yap yap.
"He can't wrestle." He sucks on the mic." "he's being shoved down our throats."
Same old shit, just aimed at a different target.
Fuck both of them.
US Open Challenge, best moments of Raw each and every time it happened, I remember waiting and waiting for one random mid-carder to come and just maybe, win the big one. That's the effect of buiding a Mega-star.
edge was a ring general. He planned everything. cena even says the reason their rivalry was his favorite ever is because edge made their matches
He helped make John Cena. I agree.
I wouldn't say eithet of them are ring generals. That's a term that gets thrown around too often nowadays. Ring generals are MASTERS of constructing a match and could pull out a 5 star classic with a pot of spaghetti if they needed to. Example: Bret Hart dragging a drugged up Davey Boy Smith through a 5 star classic when DBS was barely even aware he was wrestling. That is the mark of a ring general. Two 50 year old men (Taker and Shawn) putting on a 5 star classic in the twilight of their careers is another great example. An argument coule be made now for Edge and Cena being on that level but I wouldn't give them that label as early on in their careers as those mstches took place.
these suits cost more than your channel lmao
L
Claude Akel Dumbest comment of 2017
Claude Akel Still mad Plumpy doesn't like Gender Myballs?
Those suits are worth less than 1/8 of what they were sold for.
so if someone sells you shit cover in glitter for $1000, you will buy it because it's expensive?
One of the best and honest videos I have seen from Adam the Plumpy in a long long time.
Cena gets a lot of heat, but in the end he’s been in a lot of quality matches and he really knows to make his rivals look good. I mean, he knows the spots where he is not good and makes his rivals exploit them. And in the end, that makes him credible as a wrestler.
Where is Simon ? We haven't seen him in a while.
He probably got enough of a bashing over that stupid ghosts video to sideline him for a bit.
Dhruv Trivedi slapping his head in the void
What are you talking about? He's done a bunch of videos this week like RAW ups and downs and at least two Why videos. He wasn't able to do the Backlash ups and downs, but that's all he missed.
+Jeremy “Emerje” Crocker This is called sarcasm .
Jeremy Crocker plumpy is better
Their are people that hate on John... They say that he should retire... But c'mon John has one of the best careers of all time(in my opinion)
He deserves respect... He has it all... just take a look at his career.
He is an amazing wrestler...
its like he says The same reason they can love him is the same reason they condemn him
Haha!!That Cena face at 3:11 is priceless,haha!!PLEASE!!Someone,please make that into a meme!!
There will never, ever be a video like this about Reigns.
As an early 90's kid (30 now) Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker were our heroes. I only got back into wrestling in 2014 since I lost interest in 2001, but I can appreciate John Cena's value to the industry, and how important he is, and I was one of many that would've liked to have finally seen that Cena vs. Taker match at Wrestlemania this year. I would've been happy to see Taker give it up to Cena, cause at the end of the day, he's earned it. I don't hate Reigns, but I still find it hard to find such a legend fall to him.
plumpy is back
"Maybe... just maybe... sometimes Superman DIES" that shit had me laughing
SuperCena got killed by Lesnar in 2014.
Pacitti is right, Cena is kinda underated
Im so happy adam is doing this video! Like simon a lot, but this video is perfect for adam
Plumpy is back!
I love when WhatCulture makes positive videos
JOHN cena is the 🐐🐐
Cm Punk Fan mmm John Cena is a goat comment,cm punk fan,display pic... aj... ok your pass
Cm Punk Fan U Do Know Goat Means greatest of all time
Crazy Football Videos John Cena is the goat goat
That rick and Morty reference just earned my sub plumpy.Keep being schwifty
Rusev vs jinder mahal vs randy orton with rusev winning the WWE title would be great
Bendaman FUCK YES
Cm Punk Fan why they didn't let rusev interrupt the Punjabi celebration il never know it would of been Genius
Because they want India to continue liking WWE and disrespecting their heritage isn't something that helps with that.
Johan Hoekstra well that's true but why there promoting jinders Punjabi heritage and not just him as a indian is odd since Punjab is no we're near the most populous region in India but yeh you're right.
Bendaman Yeah I think they're gonna give Jinder a fair reignlength first
Those Styles matches though... Phenomenal.. No pun intended
"prepares fuck simon comment"
"plumpy"
never mind
Macho Pony still a fuck Simon comment though?
Macho Pony Wait why did you use quotation marks? Lol
The rick and morty reference made this an instant like and share for me lol
whatculture pumping out the videos lately for that sweet $$$$$
Based Big Match John working the smarks
The sign guy, Cena, and the "WE HATE CENA" guy at 5:17, lmao
I used to HATE Cena, but in recent years that's kind of cooled. Partially because of things like on this list. He's put on much better matches and is more willing to help up-and-comers get over. Now if only they could use him to fix Roman Reigns...
Rusty Steele they tried
Right. Just look at what he's doing right now with Elias. I have a feeling Elias will win a title someday, and John should get some credit for that
The US Open Challenge was what got me into wrestling.
He also silenced millions of viewers that stopped watching. 😂
they cause they cant see him
*clicks on video*
"Hi Simo...SWEET CHRISTMAS ITS THE VOICE OF PLUMPY! LISTEN IN MAAAAAANNNN."
I Always pray to god before clicking on whatculture videos
I've said repeatedly, Cena/Michaels is not talked about enough. Beautiful psychology, great story and turning point in Cena's career. He went in as a star guy and walked out as THE star.
he doesn't suck. do i miss the dr. of thuganomics? yup! are we stuck with pg john cena? yup! cena himself doesnt suck, he's still cena, it just sucks he can't go back to his original gimmick which was pure gold
He's too old for that gimmick.
Even his song was catcher.
Finally... someone agrees on the mania 23 main event,
It's so good. Very underated
Where is plu...
Those Cena v. Cesaro matches are amazing.
Hating on Cena is so old and stupid. He's made up for his mistakes and we're lucky to have a guy like him in pro wrestling.
John Cenas open challenge match against Cesaro was one of the best I've ever seen
"Please be Simon. Please be Simon. Please be... NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
(Will still hit like because I love Whatculture)
Usman Adil I can understand your sentiment. But Adams voice is pure honey. He could talk about anything and I'd listen.
Ieuan Hunt it's not Adam it's plumpy
Plumpy >>>>>>>>>> Simon
THANK YOU!!!! WE NEEDED PLUMPY!!!!!
#DontHinderTheJinder
Bryce Kooyman No one cares. #FuckJinder
I'm in the middle so we can have a diverse set of opinions. #GiveJinderAChanceButAlsoWhyUNoWait4MoreRightTimeWWE
jem due as a WWE Champion you already should be good so he doesn't deserve a chance
Ugh, fine.
#GiveJinderAChanceToProveThatHeIsWorthyOfHavingTheWWEChampionshipButAlsoWhyUNoWait4MoreRightTimeWWE
#HappyNow
jem due No he had his time to prove and he still sucks
thanks for bringing up Cena & Wyatt's Last Man Standing Match. I thought I was the only person that thought that match was great.
plumpy!!!!!
That fact about the summerslam losses is very interesting and very much a good way to pay back for burying the nexus
I just bullied Rusev
He will not be seen in Wwe Tv
don't be a bully
Bully other
"Don't be a bully"
"Bully other"
What
That Rick and Morty reference was amazing, thank you Plumpy.
John Cena = GOAT!
Thank you whatculture, I no longer feel bad abut cheering when I hear John Cena's music.
he sure did silence his critics when he buried the nexus in 2010
And has lost at SummerSlam EVERY YEAR SINCE...
james paul bitch please, only wade barrett and maybe ryback had an actual potential of those 7
bryan dator Barrett and Gabriel were the only two had potential.
how many of those were clean? because when cena is involved the only important wins or losses are clean
Literally 7 FUCKING YEARS AGO! He's done so much for the company since then, including make stars out of Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayne, Kevin Owens, and AJ Styles to name a few. Even greats like Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair can't say the same. Not to mention, the man is full time wrestler that puts on fantastic matches REGULARLY!
Face it, Cena's always been an amazing performer, and as of the last two and a half years, you have absolutely no excuse to dislike John Cena outside of personal preference. Right now, he's arguable the best in ring performer the WWE has.
WWE really needs to bring back the weekly open challenge for all it's Raw, Smack Down! and NXT titles.
These are Facts. Legit facts and i fucking hate cena.
Sharqy LBJ
Gonna tell us What's wrong with eating ass?
Roman is worse.
Step off, gal
The US open challenges really made me appreciate John Cena
PLUMPYYY
His promos in recent times should've been on this list as an honorable mention! John Cena has definitely improved A LOT over the years. As much as people will disagree with me, I'm actually looking forward to John Cena actually breaking Ric Flair's 16 world championship record, he definitely should do it before he leaves WWE for good (with a lengthy reign tho)
Hes had good matches, doesn't make up for all the people hes buried, tried to bury and backstage politics and general douchebaggery and never will
He only puts over a wrestler when he knows he gets the upper hand on a later match
and dont give me the make a wish bullshit, all wrestlers do that stuff
stawg007 I think your still stuck in the past bro. He beat bray Wyatt but lost clean to Him later on 2 times. He lost to AJ 3 times clean and only one once. Lost to Ambrose clean. The dude has basically tried his best to fix what he has done.
I agree that hes been better than hes been in the past(although maybe thats just because hes not on the show as much anymore) but theres the problem
Before the last year or so it was burial after burial and even now in his later years he still not doing what he should
Bray Wyatt should have been him clean at Wrestlemania, killed his momentum
Rusev should have beat him clean at Wrestlemania, killed his momentum
and Miz really deserved so much better after the last year he had but no, Cena had to go over for his shitty fake as hell proposal
As for AJ, yeah he lost a few times, only to beat him in the last encounter for his record breaker and i have no doubt he only lost to The Rock because he knew he was going to come out top the following year
The guy could put over guys in every match he has for the next few years and it still wont make up for all the harm hes done
If he loses every match like anti cena fans want him to them he desnt really put people over, he would be a jobber. He needs to win to have some credibility so when people do beat him it means something
stawg007 you know Vince is the one in charge right?
stawg007 You Cena haters will never be satisfied will you? You judge Cena for abusing his power when you would have done the exact same thing if you were in his shoes.
Dude...your awesome!
Do a list of all the careers Cena ruined already.. he ruined careers out of selfishness.. he doesn't deserve any respect
Cena doesnt decide when he wins and loses. At most he decides how they end like the Nexus (Whiche he even later admitted was a mistake on his part.) So I dont even know why you up and decided he doesnt deserve respect.
Sub - Zero i not necessarily talking about who he "beat".. I'm talking about guys like Mr Kennedy/Anderson or Alex Riley where his influence backstage basically ended there careers and that nexus thing shows the influence he had..
Ryze Cyanide Mr Kennedy was Randy Orton's victim.
Over an ending he regretted doing, which a selfish person would not care about..Also he didnt hurt Kennedy that was Randy,and the Alex Riley thing was more a matter of Alex not being respectful backstage which every veteran is pretty much supposed to call out. IF your going to cal out one call out all of the vets whos issues with others have screwed them not just Cena.
Sub - Zero have you heard what Kennedy has said on the situation? he and Randy where good friends they use to ride together, he spoke to Orton after the match and apologies a number of over and over again then after he left the locker room as Cena walked in and next thing he knows he's been released.. as for hurting him, he toted as the next Stone cold and was about to giving a major main event push.. and had it happen he could of been one of the biggest names in wwe. (That is clearly Cena protecting his spot) and with Riley it was him standing up himself after hazing jokes if Cena got offended by that, that is extremely pathetic and not to mention Riley was also toted as a future huge star.. I just find it awfully convenient that a group of guys (A-Ry, Kennedy and Nexus) who could of potential have as if not bigger than Cena all had there WWE runs halted by a decision that Cena made that he supposedly thought was right..
Almost every match cena had after his first one with KO was amazing
Simons Better!!!!!!! He's a Work Horse
Masood Gilani Simon isn't necessarily better, he's just as good and has the plus of being ready for whatever Whatculture wants him to do. Personally, I like Simon, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and is very hard working.
Masood Gilani Easy to be a work horse when you have no other job there. Also, reading a script and putting minimal to no character behind what you're reading, gets no easier than that. If he isn't on screen while reading, he puts in minimal effort
vids2002 doesn't really matter, if Simon enjoys his job, than that's what matters.
work horse? lol they just read off of a script. wow tough gig
you've clearly never read off a script before -_-
Cena was really awesome to the point of 2008 (except for ECW fans), really good matches, good feuds, when he make his return at 08 rumble people was popping out the building for him, but something had changue, Cena returned as super cena and as the years go he never let go that gimmick, i´m glad he´s earned a lot of respect in the last years.
Almost all these matches were nothing but kick out matches, that's lazy storytelling and bad selling. John cena is bad at selling, he is sloppy in doing moves, does nothing for the majority of the match and can only have a good match when they kick out of three finishers though out the match. John cena has not silenced me, the only match he had that wasn't a kick out fest was cm punk mitb 2011 and the reasons why are highly obvious. During his reign the ratings have decreased, he may be a draw but that's due to longevity, he has basically caused millions of fans to become quote smarks and look for alternatives in the indy scene. He is the most overrated top guy wwe have ever had. He has never draw near he amount that and 16 time champion should have gotten. The fact that he is compared to austin, flair, hogan and sammartino is a travesty he is a lex luger who can talk well that's all.
It's not John Cena's fault for the run long runs he had, I put Randy in the same basket. After most of the top wrestlers retired or left the company during the period of 2009-2011 I think, there was a lack of top talent and WWE instead of giving other people a chance they left Cena and Orton as champions which led to making the product less entertaining. WWE should have push tguys from the Nexus and a couple more guys to the top card which would give more diversity to the card. The only 2 they gave a chance was THe Miz, he was always good but people only now are realising( and the push failed because of that) it and Cm Punk although he had already won the World Heavyweight champion he wasn't considered by the company a top guy.
John Cena vs Cesar is a fucking barnstorm of a match. Almost every one of their matches from 2013 onwards have been brilliant
10 Times Roman Reigns Silenced His Critics

I remember his match against Michaels. It was amazing, and that was more than likely through the eyes of a teenager who was slowly drifting away from wrestling. Been years, can barely remember shit nowadays. lol
Adam simply prefers to hear "how come you don't come so often" while Simon prefers "why have you come again?"
John also said that Shawn taught him that if you can't be your best in a big match environment, "you will sink very quickly" to quote John.
Not gonna lie I laughed my ass off outside when you sang the miz theme
