Only way cena is even top 40 is if we talking about work ethic or kayfabe. The only reason anyone even gives him props is because the majority of people hate him.

I'm sorry but dude has been pushed to the moon for the past 15 years and people were sick of him 12 years ago. Had a spark when he started. Off top he is probably the worst face of the company they have ever had overall. He is bland, not entertaining, and has very average mic skills and personality. I can't think of another wrestler who fans have flat out rejected as much as him. I stopped watching as a full time fan in like 2009, yet whenever I come back occasionally to check on things it is always the same shyt with this dude. It's like WWE has been in this stagnant, shytty era since 2006.

Facts all the way. The only other guy rejected as hard is roman. It's the simple fact that he's never even attempted to change up what he's doing and has been stale since the summer of 2005. All the other top guys evolve and change both in the ring and in character. What's different about him today from what he was in 2006? What's different about him from 2002 besides his theme, attire, and finisher? His promos have never changed, he hinders everyone else from shining, his matches went from the awful hogan comeback style to spotfests with no storytelling, and the calling his spots audibly gets to me too. Lot of fans I know who stopped watching entirely did so because they were tired of him after his 2007-10 era. Change something up besides the ugly shirts already.

Kurt angle, Macho man, Bret hart, Eddie Guerrero, Flair, Sting, Taker, austin,The rock, hogan, Jericho, AJ styles, Foley, mysterio, booker t, Shawn Michaels, Benoit, terry funk, dusty rhodes, jushin liger, Kane, Scott Steiner, Jeff hardy, christian, rvd, rick steamboat, scott hall, etc

The point is once we start naming off wrestlers it's hard to say Cena gets a definite spot anywhere near the top 10.

Forreal. He has not done a single thing I can think of during his run that puts him anywhere near even top 30. Ratings have been low and fans have been unhappy, yet he is still pushed harder than anyone I've ever seen besides MAYBE Hogan. Difference is Hogan took wrestling to much much bigger heights and was much more famous. And the cena era has lasted like twice as long as the old WWF Hulkamania era.
