9--Like his gimmick it was very original at first.. Now it is getting stale.

[PorkSoda]

Gotta love it when your TV is acting like a fuggin moron and your missing Smackdown. Stupid TV :foc: :foc: :mad: Ima throw it out the window :lol: :love: Hopefully it'll fall on Col. Mustard :naughty: So I guess I murdered Mustard in the Consorvatory with the TV :|

8.5. He is very entertaining on the mic and his in ring work is impressive.

[asphyXy]

7.3

You must do Alex Wright on Sunday.

[KayfabeMan]

Could I nominate one of my faves Marc Mero, or perhaps good ole' Arn Double A?

Also, my rating for Cena is 5.5

[KayfabeMan]

Also, as far as the poll goes, who exactly would we be rating if 'Doink The Clown' wins? Would it be Apollo, Borne, Lombardi, Keirn, or who? Thanks in advance.

Jim Neidhart never donned the Doink mask....:wtf: ;)

[John la Rock]

last year at this time he was 9. but he's become so stale and his finishing move is looking crappier and crappier every week.

[Savio]

Yers Glenn is in the top ten......
-------------------
8 Will be the future of the WWE...not there yet.

[Hardkore Kidd J]

You know it's kinda funny because all day I was wondering when they would do John Cena for this. Anyways I find him a very talented superstar I give him an 8.5. Now, if I was judging him just for his promos/workrate he would be given a ten. But what this guy needs is more of a moveset and It wouldn't hurt if he got a new finisher. I think the finisher he has is kinda lame and the name should be changed but other then that one of my top favorites on Smackdown today. :y:

[Lara Emily]

Overrated to the max.

[The Answer]

8.5

How 3/4 of these guys are ranked higher than RVD I'll never know.8.9 for A.J Styles over guys like Hogan,Steamboat,Flair is just sad.Personal Bias plays so much into this it ain't funny.Only thing styles has is that styles clash which is a pretty innovative move

Name:John Cena
Real Name: John Cena
Age: 27 Year Old
Finishing Move: FU
Years Pro: 3 Years
Archivements: WWE United States Champion, OVW Heavyweight Title


Overness: The Man has started a craze and has became one of the most over superstars in the entire WWE, and he's done it in a short amount of time. Cena made his WWE debut, taking on former WWE Champion, Kurt Angle, just 4 days removed from the 2002 King Of The Ring, who made history by making Hulk Hogan tap out...Cena answered Angle's open challenge, in what I figured when I watched it, was going to be a squash match...however the youngster who I was totally unaware of at the time, suprised me, and actually took it to Angle, in what I still figure to this day is Cena's best match to date, Cena came close many times to defeating Angle but fail, however he earned the respect of the Undertaker backstage...Cena would get into a fued with my favorite wrestler, Chris Jericho and came close to defeating the Undisputed Champion, several times, until Cena at Unforgiven in his first PPV, pulled out a upset victory over Jericho. Things would slow down for Cena, until he finally turned heel and began his rapper gimmick, He didn't really get much anywhere. however he was slowly beginning to get some heel heat with his raps. Cena would face WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a above average match on Smackdown that gave you the hint, Cena was on the verge of greatness, but he fell to the Internet Hater, and saw Cena getting injured after taking an F5 into the ringpost. Cena would cut raps towards Lesnar until he returned, which saw him, lift the 400 lb. Rikishi onto his shoulders and hit a Death Valley Driver, Cena would be entered into a Tournament to crown a number 1 contender to the WWE Title, and defeated Eddie Guerrero in the first round, then the Undertaker in the second round, before pulling an upset and beating Chris Benoit in the finals...He would challenge Lesnar and would push Brock to the limit once again in a great *** 1/2 star match in the Smackdown Main Event at backlash...After challenging for the title, Cena would be taken out of the title picture and wouldn't do much for a few month, and ended up losing in the first round of the US Title Tournament to Billy Gunn, Cena would once again get into the thick of things once again, Fueding with The Undertaker and Kurt Angle, which saw Angle score a upset win over Taker, and battled Angle at the next ppv before falling once again....It was around this time, Cena would begin to slowly turn face. He would take part in a 5 on 5 Survivor Series Match, which saw him and Chris Benoit being the only survivors and even saw him lift the 500 point Big show up and hit the FU....Cena would slowly get more over and over, and getting the biggest pops on Smackdown on most nights, he would fued with the Big Show for several months, before finally at Wrestlemania XX, won his first WWE Title, beating The Big Show for the U.S Title....Cena to this day continues to be over with the crowd, and seems posed to be a future WWE Champion in the years to come.



Score: 9.5


Look/Character: What can I say, Cena has the Wigger look for the gimmick he plays, and plays his gimmick to the Bone with the throwback Jersey's and such...While his character is getting lamer and lamer with each passing moment...He still plays it well

Score: 7.5


Talent: Cena is a decent wrestler, and has a wide ranged movelist which fits his somewhat Old School Style, His FU is unique to say the least and looks flashy, but it doesn't look strong enough except when he does it on much bigger wrestlers, He doesn't have terrible matches, then again, he doesn't go out there and have great matches all the time...He has had a few very good matches, with Angle, Lesnar, and Undertaker...If he could only pull out great matches more often then every now then again, he would of scored a 8.5, but he'll have to settle with a 7.

Score: 7


Mic Skills: John is confident and Cocky on the Mic, no doubt about that, He can be funny and pull out great promos, but like I said before he is beginning to get quite Stale, his Heel stuff last year was Pure Gold, and even some of his stuff earier in the year, but he is struggling, but not enough to drop him below a 8

Score: 8


Archivements: He hasn't done very much in the WWE, he has won a WWE Title Tournament, which will earn him a few points and has Main Evented a PPV and has gotten wins over Taker, Angle, Jericho and Big Show, who are WWE Champions, if I was only counting his US Title win, he would only have gotten a 6.5, but because of theses wins and other things, I'll bump it up to a 7

Score: 7


Potential: Cena is going to be a big part of the WWE in the future, he is over, Charismatic, is a good wrestler..I see him in the next 5 or so years, having a Triple H v. The Rock like fued with Randy Orton....Cena is going to be a WWE Champion in the future, he just has that feeling about him...So i'll score him a 10

Score: 10


Finisher: Like I said, The FU is caught a unique looking finisher, but it has a draw back of looking weak...But in a few encounters, has proven he can pull the FU out of nowhere, like he did against Benoit in the year....However because it lacks the devasting power...It score a 7

Score: 7


Overall: 8.0</center>

[Mr. Nerfect]

7. He used to be about an 8, but he's really toned down now. I guess his gimmick rose him to a higher level, and now he's a face it's lowered him again. I think Cena really needs ot reduce his "rapping" or turn heel again, soon.

[Mayo]

Hes got the 'it' factor, big time, and hes mega over. That's why he gets an 8.2 from me, otherwise it would be lower.

[Gouda]

Ring ability: 7.5
Overness: 10 (He is way over)
Work rate: 8.5
Charisma: 9
Finisher: 6 (God the FU looks so pathetic. It used to be cool. When it was actually a DVD)
Mic skill: 7.5 (Would have been higher but his work as a face really blows)
Memories/Potential: 10 (He's got plenty of potential, and will be a major player in the days to come)

Overall: 8

I suggest Kanyon for an upcoming day.

[BigDaddyCool]

8.73
He is really talented, but has yet to prove his greatness. Once he wins the world title, and branches out a little more than being a white rapper, I think he will rise even further. I just would feel guilty giving him any higher than that.

[Azriel]

I'll give him an 9. I like Orton better, but Cena is much more polished than Orton.

[The Fugitive]

He gets a 7.5 from me. Great character, but I think the FU is kinda lame.

My suggestion, if there is still room for it, is Harley Race.

[LK]

8

A lot of potential. Decent in the ting and good on the mic particularly when he is a hell. The future with Orton

[Aussie Skier]

Ring ability: 8
Overness: 10
Mic Skills: 9
Finisher: 7
Entrance music: 10

Total: 8.8

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

8 - He isn't that great a wrestler, but he knows how to work a crowd.

Can I nominate HHH if it's possible? I wanna see what everybody will rate him

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>8.6

Also, I'd like to nominate La Parka for a future WOTD</font>

[Afterlife]

Cena's not a bad wrestler, but I think the only reason he's so over is b/c he's young, good lookin', and has an attitude toward authority. Nobody has a reason to dislike him right away. My big anti-Cena problem, tho, is his rhyming. I don't call it "rapping" b/c he doesn't rap. He takes ten minutes to make three rhymes, and it's boring. Then he gets all cocky, like he's a friggin' genius. Bugs the crap outta me. Basically, decent wrestler, good look, crappy verbal presentation.

6.5

If he didn't bug me so MUCH on the mic, it'd be higher.

[Sephiroth]

8.5

[123 kid]

8.5

[HankScorpio]

Used to have A little "edge", but has since been toned right down - 8

In the next few days, could we have Jamie Noble?

[Blue Demon]

8.5...good all around worker...has mega potential.

[Xero]

8

[Prettyboi-2k]

I say we rate Chris Benoit..but i give Cena a 8.5, he is maad over, the in-ring skills are ok, and dammit, he has ALOT of charisma..and i am a charisma dude...if you are gonna get something outta me in wrestling you gotta have charisma (with the exception of Lance Storm b/c he is niice as f*ck....damn WWE..)

[Sickboy]

8.2

[Eunos]

8.9

[DaveWadding]

7.7

[MRAT=VEGETABLES]

8.8413

Only thing keeping him from being any higher is the lame finisher.

I think he only needs to work on bringing his in ring skill up a bit more before he becomes a pwrmanent main eventer.

[tucsonspeed6]

7 for his overness and drawing power only. His ringwork is dull and all style with no substance.

Big cena mark

[CosaNostra]

7 for his overness and drawing power only. His ringwork is dull and all style with no substance.

Wouldn't it follow that if he has some style he has substance? I thought "style" was an important aspect of being a WWE Superstar.
