Were talking two entire different eras though. Funk is a legend because he helped pioneer an entire subgenre of wrestling. His offense was believable only because his stuff looked real (aside from the piledrivers sometimes). Theres a major difference between a Terry Funk and someone from XPW like Xtreme.I've been saying this for a while. Best PPV performer in the company this year
Reigns still has ways to go, but this has been a horrible year by Cena. Dude went full retard with his PWG spoof.
There's waaay too many amazing wrestlers that aren't crisp to say that's a factor when judging the quality of their work. shyt Terry Funk might be one of the least crisp motherfukkers ever and he migh legit be the GOAT wrestler.
Control of the ring I completely agree. Making you shyt look believable (regardless if it's a punch or a 450 splash) is more important than crispness imo, and that's something Cena has always struggled with and this year is on an all time low.

Believability is absolutely key, this i agree with. Cena is in an era that ring work matters. He didnt introduce a new style or anything he copied from other more talented wrestlers and did not come close to executing. He can cut one hell of a money promo. In those ropes outside of backstage politics what makes me believe he can beat the other guy?
Swagged on the crowd with the say my name shyt too. Was saying it all last year and this year. Guy can be a huge piece for them if they don't ruin him. Good in the ring, a great interview (not promo), and he looks like he belongs.He might have more charisma too

"Sufferin succotash son!"Reigns is better than Cena ringwise, everything else Cena is top notch than Reigns by far.
Not to mention Reigns has the tone and looks of a anti-hero/heel, so it's not like he needs to talk much, unless Vince forces him too then he will look like a goofball.
Cena is the best wrestler in the company and has been since Bryan has been on the shelf and Punk left
Look how natural this is compared to the promos they had him cutting.He might have more charisma too

John Cena can cut a money promo? Why hasn't there been any money made from any of them for his entire run? Fans have turnred on his promos over and over and over and over and over again...lol. He's a joke.
