Thuganomics John Cena would have been major in the attitude era

[GoddamnyamanProf]

I want to say he wouldn't have been shyt, but I still don't know how he's made it even in this day and age. Just an entirely unappealing wrestler and character.

On that same note, there were certainly less kids and "family friendly" bullshyt back then, so yeah...wouldn't have been nearly as successful.

In what way?

As wwe guy, since I've started watching in early 80s I'd say he's probably top ten.

So u have him ranked higher then WWE? When they are Cena Biased. What are u basing this on? fake wins and losses? Please post your top 10

A KAYFABE TOP TEN if say the shyt was real and wwe omitted nobody because of business reasons would be (rock n wrestling era on)

1. Hogan
2. Austin
3. Rock
4. Undertaker
5. Savage
6. Hbk
7. HHH
8. Andre
9. Cena
10. Bret Hart

But that shyt dont matter cause thats NOT what homie was talkin about

Missed Savage, but otherwise that list is pretty much spot on..

As for the thread title, the thuganomics Cena would have been a joke compared to the other guys in the Attitude Era... Now if he was "poked and prodded" like Austin said with a new gimmick and the right competition, he could have easily been #3 . Wasn't passing Rock/Austin though...

I had him there but somehow i deleted when editing order. He's pretty equal to undertaker in kayfabe terms maybe just below or above.

Realistically he was booked as equal to hogan and equal to flair or higher unless he was putting someone over clearly (crush, yoko, etc)

Nah..if you had Lying, Cheating, Stealing Eddie? Cena still would be below him at whatever is considered his best. Even when Cena was coming up in 2004 and 05..fans cheered Eddie over him in several tag team and face off situations.

Eddie was jobbing to JBL who then jobbed to cena....sorry breh eddie in a kayfabe sense is not in cenas league. In ring hes 1000x better but he wasnt at his peak as over as cena at his peak, nor does he have the high profile wins that cena had

Real life, you're absolutely right. Eddie is light-years ahead of Cena

WWE history/Kayfabe? They're not on the same level. Cena's gonna easily be "WWE" top 10 when he's done

 

[Grifter]

The rapper gimmick would never be World Champ outside of a Russo booked show. But the effort he put in 03-05 could've been better in 97-00.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

The fact that he got a wigga gimmick over in any era is amazing. The whole thing basically had MIDCARD FOR LIFE stamped all over it and somehow he ran with it and became the face of the WWE. It'd be like Jinder Mahal taking off from 3MB and ending up on the cups and programs.

JBL was pushed because of Eddie Guerrero going to bat for him. He was seen as a midcard nothing. Period. And he never beat Eddie Guerrero....he just escaped matches from him and basically won the title from a complete bullshyt ending.

Kayfabe sense? Eddie beat Cena clean over and over again in 2003 and main evented WM XX while Cena was an opening match chump.

LOL@him never being as over as Cena. The most goofiest thing written at this forum to date. Eddie winning the belt at No Way Out is is a bigger title pop than Cena has ever gotten. Bigger one than Cripple H has ever gotten. Bigger than Michaels has ever gotten. Bigger than Bret has ever gotten. They cheered Eddie over Undertaker at Armageddon 2004. Good luck EVER seeing a situation where Cena gets cheered over Taker

That is winning.

Youre debating the kayfabe ranking of cena and eddy and citing mania main events?

No. It wasn't.

 

[Tres Leches]

how did this turn into eddie vs cena ?



obviously eddie was the better wrestler but cena moves more merchandise for cokeboy.. like odb said 'cena is for the kids'




and as a non-cena fan I actually agree with the thread starter

Wrong on EVERY account, and I am one of the biggest Eddie fans on here.
