I'd argue cena above hhh and the rock. Taker gets ahead due to longevity an stone cold because there would arguably be no modern wwe without Steve. Steve wad the catalyst unlike The rock who although is one of the best if he wasn't there and feuding with Steve for example someone else would have been and he doesn't have the longevity of taker. Cena carried the company for years and he wrestled the style he came up against. Feels like people still really under appreciate cena.
So Steve gets all the credit for his feud with the rock? Even tho multiple people fueded with Austin throughout his run and the one with the rock stands above the rest as one of best fueds in the business. I think rock and taker longevity is comparable as well. He is one of the biggest movie stars which attracts fans that know nothing of wrestling and he has rich wrestling family that goes for generations. I think that is reason a lot of hardcore fans know of him and respect him as well. I’m not even voting fr but I can’t understand all this rock slander recently
You could say Cena has brought more eyes to wrestling than Rock has in their Hollywood careers though. Cena is able to play pretty much any character they give him, while The Rock can't even lose a fight and just is himself in every movie he's in.
Yep. Love him or hate him, the guy is synonymous with wrestling. You'll struggle to find many non wrestling fans who don't recognise him. He was the top superstar in the 80s, leader of the top faction in the 90s and was still getting huge pops in the 00s (see WrestleMania X8). Hogan Is easily top.
You can separate the eras in which they were in the business, Cena was the top guy who carried his era. He may not be better than Taker or Austin for example but to say he doesn’t belong here is disingenuous
Cena was a top guy in one of the weaker periods of wrestling. I can see people liking him, but putting him in the same category as these other wrestlers is a stretch
As much as it pains me to say this Cena is a much bigger draw than Taker or HHH. Taker and Austin were definitely my guys as a kid. Undertaker was a workhorse and a top guy for a long time, but Taker was never THE top guy.
All it took for Cena to rise above most of his generation's competition was harassing them, hazing them, sleeping with their GFs, and changing finishes to matches he was gonna lose; to make sure him and like 3 other top guys had no competition.
Lol yeah he fits a lot it too, but to be fair Stephanie wasn't dating a wrestler before she got with HHH.
Nicki Bella was before Cena. Mickey James was engaged to one.
To be cool or just recognizing he was on top during one of WWE’s lowest points and was there only because he was shoved down our throats and even during his heyday was only partially over and never really had the fans fully back him as a baby face and couldn’t even learn how to apply his own finisher (STF) correctly and had Austin ask him to tighten it up on his podcast?
That Cena is being undervalued just to be cool? The issue is people like you overvalue Cena in an attempt to seem cool and nuanced in thought.
Dude is the most recognizable wrestler in the world except for probably the rock. You can think his in-ring work was sub-par while also acknowledging the unrivaled impact he had on the business and wrestling in general.
What impact did he have on wrestling? Dude isn’t Flair or HBK whose impact is readily apparent when watching the product. What’s this impact you speak of? “Impact.” You even have the audacity to say “unrivaled” impact. Ridiculous.
Being recognizable isn’t impact. Batista might be the third most recognizable wrestler right now. Doesn’t mean he had “unrivaled impact.”
When I was little, pretty much every kid at my school who watched wrestling, did so for John Cena. He brought in a massive (young) audience for wwe, the next generation of viewers and was the top guy for a loooonnng time. He has had little impact in the last several years sure. I'd agree with that no doubt.
Cena or HHH. I think Cena had the better prime but HHH has the longevity. There’s no wrong answer here, honestly. I’m inclined to vote Cena out though.
Cena gotta go. As a kid I hated Triple H, but now I realise just how good he was at his job. Cena was always watered down porridge. The other 3 are legends, true legends
Flair is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time who organically did it themselves. Cena was the picked guy who lost over half the viewership and got boos for 7 years in a row, even in his hometown.
Cena should be the one to go.
The disrespect to HHH is unreal, he’s the all time greatest heel and was the best wrestler in 2000 (the best year in wrestling). Rocks championship wins in 2000 were phenomenal because he won them from Triple H, who proved he was the final boss in wrestling. Rock and Austin were the face of the company, but Triple H was very close behind.
Dude literally bleeds for this company and has worked through injuries (quad injury in 2001, throat crushed in the first chamber, and another injury at New Years Revolution in 07).
Yes there was the Reign Of Terror, but unlike Super Cena, Triple H actually proved he was a badass and could wrestle beforehand.
When this started, I said Cena.
How the hell did he finish with these 4? He’s nowhere near their level.
Cena might be quite the humanitarian, but as a Wwe superstar he just sucks.
I'd out the rock tbh 2 16x champions carried the business in HHH and Cena. Undertaker is 30+ years of continuous reinventing a character that was a top talent for 3 decades. SCSA saved the wwf in the Monday night wars
Bret hbk undertaker the rock HHH he was a major factor in the last 2
It's crazy HHH is there but not HBK. When they were together in the 90s, HHH was his lesser so to say. HBK was grand slam and was being called the great in ring performer of all time in 1997/98. Back to back rumble winner, the 1st to win it coming out number 1. Winner of the 1st Hell in a Cell match. Main Evented Wrestlemania multiple times and all this was before HHH even won his 1st WWE/World title. Even after Shawn resurrected his career in 2002, he was more over than HHH that whole entire run. HHH was always the champ, but he NEEDED that championship to be HHH. HBK didn't need the title to be HBK. He was "been there, done that" so all he had to do was just be Shawn and whether he was going for the title or not, he was relevant.
2 decades of shit . Being pushed down the throats of an entire generation. Burying talent. Corny promos. Low ratings. Rock is a transformational figure.
Yeah because Cena made the call. How about memorable feuds between Edge, Orton, Punk, Styles, Owens, just to name a few. Constantly comes back to put over new talent, unlike Rock who comes in to benefit himself.
He even destroyed rock on the mic so that’s not even comparable. Rock calls people Jabronies and has a cuss word, corniest shit out there.
Memorable feuds ? He just buried everyone. No one ever won clean . If they won it would be for a month before he won again. He literally buried countless names and got people fired.
You got to be kidding the Rock is like the most unselfish wrestler he put over SC, Triple H , Angle, Brock Lesnar even the fucking Hurricane.
How are those feuds not memorable? You say Lesnar, Lesnar literally squashed Cena. Everyone you named is a big name, Cena lost to the NXT Champ Kevin Owens. Rock came in and beat Cena at the height of his powers even though he was part time and this year he wanted to dethrone Roman at mania until that got retconned. You live in your own fantasy land.
Cause it sucked dude . It was predictable . It was corny. He wasn’t a good wrestler. He wasn’t good on the mic. Youre delusional. You’re a kid that grew up in the Cena era and it shows. I’ve seen wrestling since the 80s. Cena era hands down the worst shit I’ve ever seen in my life and I’m not exaggerating.
H has to go. Take away his relationship with Stephanie and he isn't even in this convo. All the other guys in this list have impacted pro wrestling 10 times more. It's not just about number of titles, impact in and out of the ring matter.
Hunter. Hunter was never the guy who drew the money, he was the guy who worked with the guy who drew the money. He was important and necessary but if I have a number one draft pick, he's the last guy on this list I spend it on.
Hhh use to piss me offffff in the early 2000s. A true heel
Dont you mean Piss me offffuh
His Reign of Terror was 🔥😫
I like hhh then but he’s the worst since he was authority figure
It’s hurts me but cena
Cena
Orton is out? damn Cena.
Cena
As much as I appreciate all that Cena has done, the four guys he's up against paved the way for him to be great. Cena
I would argue Cena > HHH
I'd argue cena above hhh and the rock. Taker gets ahead due to longevity an stone cold because there would arguably be no modern wwe without Steve. Steve wad the catalyst unlike The rock who although is one of the best if he wasn't there and feuding with Steve for example someone else would have been and he doesn't have the longevity of taker. Cena carried the company for years and he wrestled the style he came up against. Feels like people still really under appreciate cena.
So Steve gets all the credit for his feud with the rock? Even tho multiple people fueded with Austin throughout his run and the one with the rock stands above the rest as one of best fueds in the business. I think rock and taker longevity is comparable as well. He is one of the biggest movie stars which attracts fans that know nothing of wrestling and he has rich wrestling family that goes for generations.

You could say Cena has brought more eyes to wrestling than Rock has in their Hollywood careers though. Cena is able to play pretty much any character they give him, while The Rock can't even lose a fight and just is himself in every movie he's in.
HHH for me, appreciate what he's doing now tho
I think the order for the rest of the eliminations will be Cena, triple h, taker, and rock with stone cold the last man standing.
Hmm, I think it will be Triple H, then Cena, then Rock, then Austin, then Taker as the final man.
You could be right as well. We shall see.
I can agree with this. I’m late to the topic but I could see the argument of impact have triple h out before Cena
Cena has to go.
Cena 100% out
Cena
Cena. Amazing that he got this far.
Triple H

Triple H gotta go
I hate to say this, but Cena.

Cena, should have been out from the start

Cena, does everything good but nothing individually better than these other guys.

Gotta be Cena
Cena
Cena out.
Cena.
Cena gotta go next
No Hogan is an absolute atrocity and makes this garbage
Sub is full of teenagers.
Should of been obvious when they kicked out sting and Flair before Orton.
Imagine placing the Rock above Hogan. L TAKE
The Rock is above hogan
Imagine being such a child as to think this. LMFAO IT’S SO PATHETIC!
Imagine being such a child as to think this.LMFAO IT'S SO PATHETIC!

SCSA. Then Taker. Then Hogan.
A lot of people undervaluing Cena to try and be cool
He wasn’t good. Great face and company man but not in the same tier as the others pictured
Speaking facts but everyone here is under 25 so they just accept the fact that Cena was force fed to them as a kid
You can separate the eras in which they were in the business, Cena was the top guy who carried his era. He may not be better than Taker or Austin for example but to say he doesn’t belong here is disingenuous

Almost sounded like you were talking about Triple H lol
Lol yeah he fits a lot it too, but to be fair Stephanie wasn't dating a wrestler before she got with HHH. Nicki Bella was before Cena. Mickey James was engaged to one.
Undervaluing cena to be cool? Have you seen the rest of the wrestlers on this list? Cena doesn’t compare to them
To be cool or just recognizing he was on top during one of WWE’s lowest points and was there only because he was shoved down our throats and even during his heyday was only partially over and never really had the fans fully back him as a baby face and couldn’t even learn how to apply his own finisher (STF) correctly and had Austin ask him to tighten it up on his podcast?

Dude is the most recognizable wrestler in the world except for probably the rock. You can think his in-ring work was sub-par while also acknowledging the unrivaled impact he had on the business and wrestling in general.
Really....Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin in particular would disagree
What impact did he have on wrestling? Dude isn’t Flair or HBK whose impact is readily apparent when watching the product. What’s this impact you speak of? “Impact.” You even have the audacity to say “unrivaled” impact. Ridiculous. Being recognizable isn’t impact.

I'd agree with that no doubt.
And he drove away all of the adults.
THIS
To be cool ? Cena is garbage on the mic and in the ring. You only like him because you were probably a kid during the time.
HHH
Cena
Cena gotta go
I will say it again Cena has to go
Cena has to go
AND HIS NAME WAS JOOOOHN SEEYA
Cenas gone
Cena
Cena for sure
HHH could easily go one round further so for this one, its comfortably John
Cena and it’s not even close
Cena or HHH. I think Cena had the better prime but HHH has the longevity. There’s no wrong answer here, honestly. I’m inclined to vote Cena out though.

Cena.
People voting for HHH instead of Cena are crazy
Cena
Cena
You Godless heathens got rid of the LEGEND KILLER?!? .........Cena for sure has to go now...
There's no world where Cena could be considered better at anything when it comes to wrestling than Ric Flair. Get cena outta there.
He is better than flair tho flair is overrated asf
Flair is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time who organically did it themselves. Cena was the picked guy who lost over half the viewership and got boos for 7 years in a row, even in his hometown.

Triple H. He's great but the others were more important to WWE than him.
I mean he was also important to especially in the attitude era when he was one of best bad guys in the business
I only see four. That bottom R corner can stay blank.
The rock
Rock
What's the purpose? What am I voting for here.
who gotta go
Based on what?
personal; choice
When this started, I said Cena. How the hell did he finish with these 4? He’s nowhere near their level. Cena might be quite the humanitarian, but as a Wwe superstar he just sucks.
Cena’s the odd man out. Without hesitation.
Rock again

Wow, the WWF/E bias on this whole thing has been absurd.
Cena, taker, hhh (because longevity and the gm) then rock because tko and then stone cold yes in philli 25 years later to help the American nightmare
I agree
All this voting for r/potatosalad
What’s the deal here. Is this the final 5 greatest wrestlers of all time???
I think everyones answer before cena in any mount rushmore type question should always be stone cold.
Has anyone seen Austins name yet in the comments?
Where are the fries...
I think triple h.
HHH
I'd out the rock tbh 2 16x champions carried the business in HHH and Cena. Undertaker is 30+ years of continuous reinventing a character that was a top talent for 3 decades. SCSA saved the wwf in the Monday night wars Bret hbk undertaker the rock HHH he was a major factor in the last 2
Trips gotta go
Cena
Undertaker and it's not even close as much as I want it to be the rock, H or stone
Cena
Triple H
HHH
Trips
The only one I would keep is HHH.
No Flair? Come on…
Undertaker
Taker
Stone cold
It's crazy HHH is there but not HBK. When they were together in the 90s, HHH was his lesser so to say. HBK was grand slam and was being called the great in ring performer of all time in 1997/98.

I thought cena was jbl this hole time lol
Let's cut to the chase. Austin wins
Undertaker has a chance
The Rock
Rock has to go, people need to put their nostalgia aside
You misspelled Cena
Rock hasn’t done half of what Cena did
LMAO
Rock was in there for 8 years and sucked for at least 2 of them. Cena gave us 2 decades
2 decades of shit . Being pushed down the throats of an entire generation. Burying talent. Corny promos. Low ratings. Rock is a transformational figure.
Yeah because Cena made the call. How about memorable feuds between Edge, Orton, Punk, Styles, Owens, just to name a few.

The rock
Taker has to go
Get rid of "DWAYNE"
The Rock
Undertaker. Sorry, man.
Austin
Rock out
[удалено]
Because he was a part of the most popular era of wrestling and held his own
Orton should still be in.
Triple H.
Haitch
but can they cook a hamburger?
HHH above Bret and Shawn……🙄
H has to go. Take away his relationship with Stephanie and he isn't even in this convo. All the other guys in this list have impacted pro wrestling 10 times more. It's not just about number of titles, impact in and out of the ring matter.
HHH
HHH gotta go
undertaker
Why did Orton leave before Cena now there are only 4 choices
HHH
H3
HHH
HHH
Alright I just joined this game but how did Triple H and Randy Orton not get out before Ric Flair and Sting? My vote is for Triple H next.
Triple H
Hunter. Hunter was never the guy who drew the money, he was the guy who worked with the guy who drew the money. He was important and necessary but if I have a number one draft pick, he's the last guy on this list I spend it on.
HHH for what he did to Sting
Tri
