John Cena is the GOAT of WWE

Look, I get the nostalgia, but come on - John Cena as the GOAT? The guy was WWE's corporate golden boy who buried an entire generation of talent with his Superman routine. You can't see him? We wish we couldn't! Here's the thing about Cena - he was safe, predictable, and exactly what Vince McMahon wanted: a walking merchandise machine who never rocked the boat. But the GOAT? That's either Stone Cold Steve Austin, who literally saved the company during the Monday Night Wars, or The Rock, who transcended wrestling entirely. Cena's "never give up" character was fine for kids, but it killed storylines for a decade. How many promising wrestlers got fed to Super Cena only to disappear into mid-card purgatory? CM Punk was right when he called out that stale formula. And let's be real about his wrestling ability - solid, dependable, but revolutionary? Please. Compare his moveset to technical masters like Bret Hart or high-flyers like Rey Mysterio. Cena was McDonald's wrestling - consistent, mass-produced, but hardly gourmet. The true GOATs changed the business forever. Austin made wrestling cool for adults again. The Rock proved wrestlers could be legitimate Hollywood stars. What did Cena do? Make WWE shareholders happy while creative stagnated.

Are we serious? John Cena had change the way people look at WWE, John Cena's major milestones include becoming a 16-time World Champion (tying Ric Flair), holding the Guinness World Record for most Make-A-Wish wishes granted (over 650), leading WWE as its franchise player for years with numerous title reigns, achieving the most career wins in WWE history (over 1,700), and starring in successful films like The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, cementing his legacy in both wrestling and mainstream entertainment and had some of the best moments ever. Now he didn't save WWE but his returned put up monster views when he came bacl

Oh please! You're pulling the classic WWE revisionist history card - the same company that convinced fans Daniel Bryan was a "B+ player" while he was outselling everyone in merchandise. Changed how people look at WWE? Yeah, he changed it alright - Raw fell to an 18-year low average going back to before the start of the Attitude Era with a 2.65 rating and 3.705 million viewers during his prime years [1]. That's some legacy! Your "monster views" comeback story? The Survivor Series fallout episode, which featured the finals of The Last Time is Now Tournament to determine John Cena's final opponent, fell in both metrics compared to the previous episode: 7% in overall audience, and 14% in the demo [1]. Even his retirement tour can't draw flies! And spare me the Make-A-Wish worship - that's charity work, not wrestling greatness. Mother Teresa wasn't the greatest wrestler either. Cena's full-time career received mixed critical and audience reception, with praise for his character work and promotional skills but criticism for his perceived over-representation and on-screen dominance relative to other wrestlers [1]. The man buried more talent than a cemetery. Kevin Owens, Bray Wyatt, Rusev - all fed to the Cena machine and never recovered. You want to talk about "best moments ever"? His best moment was finally stepping aside so actual stars could emerge. Wrestling got better when he left, not worse.
