You can't judge a wrestler's ability based on his accomplishments...since these accomplishments are pre-determined. You can only have opinions and stack up how good of a match they put on, which will be based on opinions. Cena is pretty damn good as sick as many might be of him, but he's far from the best.

Ricky Steamboat
Ric Flair
Eddie Guerrero
Chris Benoit
Macho Man Randy Savage
Daniel Bryan
Bret Hart
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Shawn Michaels
CM Punk
Kurt Angle

Those are some of the all time great "wrestlers." If you want to add charisma and mic skils to the story, you can add Cena and The Rock to the list

I can't believe the number of slack-jawed, yokel, WWE marks we have on this board.

Cena is not the greatest. Actually no one in the WWE era is the greatest of all time. You have to rank Ric Flair, Gorgeous George, Lou Thesz, and of current wrestlers Cena isn't as good as Adam Pearce.

Haven't watched wrestling in a reallllly long time, but Rock/Stone Cold are on GOAT status. Cena is a lame Hogan cuck.

This is where the rankings should focus on...


Your list is A real good one... People LIKE BIG HUGE guys, But I would rather watch smaller guys that can put on a show....

They brought the most people. Which made the most money. Which makes them the goat in WWE


By far the most entertaining.

Not the greatest but pure staying power in a business that is damn hard on your body impressive. Stone cold, Goldberg, rock, etc all I'm business for significantly less time.

Cena had the luxury of wrestling for a company that had TWO World Titles for a decade and a half. That inflates his and everyone else's title numbers.

I do like Cena, though.

No he is not.
Hogan and the Rock are the WWE icons.
Cena's has just been consistently there for them. Had they found another Rock, he would have been pushed aside.

If we're talking about guys who can actually WRESTLE and be entertaining at the same time, it's still Ric Flair by a landslide.

From the entertainment standpoint, it's still Hulk Hogan. No matter how tainted he is still currently.

Cena isn't close. Despite WWE positioning him to replace Hogan as that sort of icon. Especially after Hogan's racial tirade.

Stone Cold may have been an incredible draw, but he was far from a legendary worker. He also had the benefit of being gifted one of the greatest gimmicks in the history of the business to play off the greatest heel.

His era was short and he had to share it with The Rock. Stone Cold also didn't exit the business doing the honors. And putting over an already white hot Rock at Mania isn't exactly doing the honor. He acts as though he comes from this old guard of Superstars protecting the business but he never really used his star power to build new stars on the way out.

Stone Cold is undoubtedly one of the biggest merchandise movers and memorable characters from a memorable time, but he isn't Cena.
