5 Reasons why John Cena is the real People's Champion

#3 Quality of service

The US Title Open Challenge has dispelled any lingering doubts about John Cena’s in-ring dexterity

Few Superstars can hold a candle to the regularity or performance levels of John Cena in the past decade, and fewer still can empathize with the pressure that he bears in carrying each show. As Triple H mentions in the Stone Cold podcast, for the top guy of the company, there is much greater responsibility to shoulder than entitlement to enjoy.

John Cena has not just filled the boots left vacant by the likes of Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold, but he has done it with genuine appreciation of the grind that comes with being the franchise player for the company. The manner in which he has maintained optimal performance levels through this time, all the while managing to remain drug-free and largely uninjured, is a feat that none of his predecessors can lay claim to.

The previous few months that saw the emergence of the US Title open challenge have effectively silenced the “you can’t wrestle!” chants that the audience rather unfairly used to aim at him. Even in what might be considered to be his last legs, Cena’s matches are stealing the show each week.

Many wrestlers enthuse about performing for the fans, but the fact remains that few have performed consistently for as long or indeed, with half as much conviction as John Cena.
