You know someone is not a gifted wrestler when they admit they only use five moves during an interview!

John Cena might have been the face that ran the place for much of the 2000s in WWE, but when it comes to wrestling ability he has always been sorely lacking.

Cena possesses a lot of strength and a finely chiseled body, both carryovers from his previous career as a bodybuilder. However, he lacks agility, or speed, or endurance, making his matches short and spot-heavy.

In spite of this, he is unquestionably one of the biggest modern wrestling stars still working today. Though he has mostly focused on his movie career and only wrestles part-time, he is still a multi-time world champion and wrestling legend.

Why he was so successful anyway: Much like Lex Luger, Cena was so physically impressive looking he landed a lot of opportunities others did not. Also, Vince McMahon was ardent, stubbornly invested in Cena, pushing him as the ultimate good guy unstoppable force even when a majority of the fans over twelve booed him relentlessly. Finally, John Cena is simply amazing with a microphone in his hand, skills that have translated well to his acting career.
