Many of you have asked if I thought that John Cena has “taken my place in WWE” or is “copying me” because of the “John Cena Sucks” chants that he gets from the fans.
Our careers are very similar. John Cena has the Cena challenge, as I had the Kurt Angle Challenge some 12 years ago, and the fans yell “John Cena sucks” during his entrance music which is very similar to the “You Suck” from my career 8 years ago, but I believe that the chants started for different reasons.
For me, I was a heel at the time, and the “You suck” chant started when Edge encouraged the fans to do it. They never stopped, even when I turned baby face. My opinion is that Cena was pushed from the upper management to be unbeatable, and he rarely lost. It wasn’t Cena’s idea to make himself unbeatable. It was the man in charge. A lot of fans were disgusted that somebody could win so much, so they started to dislike Cena. I believe that wrestling needed a superhero and Cena was the guy. To any wrestling fan that dislikes Cena, at the very least, you have to admit he’s really good. I’m quite amazed at Cena’s in-ring abilities and matches. He has really stepped up his game, especially this late in his career, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Cena consistently puts on amazing matches. He also gets the necessary time to create those matches. Twenty minutes on Raw is a rarity today, but Cena gets those minutes when he wrestles, sometimes even longer. He should get that time, because he is that good. Are there other talents out there that can do the same? Sure there are, but why fix what isn’t broken? When I was in WWE, I also got the proper time to put on the stellar matches I had, and Cena has earned that right.
So go ahead and keep chanting “John Cena sucks” during his entrance music, but know deep in your heart that he doesn’t suck. He sucks about as much as your Olympic Hero does, and we all know how good I am LOL! If you watch my matches from the past and wonder why they’re chanting “You suck” when I come out to wrestle, remember that I reveled in it. If there’s ever a day you hear my music again, and I come out to wrestle in the E for the last time, I will be ecstatic to hear the “You suck” chant. That is IF that ever happens, and that’s a big IF. Trust me, John Cena loves it too. He loves the lovers and the haters because he understands that you can’t make everybody happy. He’s a pro and he’s that good. No, he doesn’t “suck.” Cena is a class act. It’s true. It’s damn true.
