Half-robot Cena? Sounds about right (Courtesy: goliath.com)

John Cena, ‘The face that runs the place’, would inarguably have been nowhere near the star he is today if WWE had gone through with his original gimmick. The original gimmick Cena was saddled with was a Terminator-esque half-human half-robot called The Prototype (yes, seriously).

A lot of WWE Superstars have overcome terrible early gimmicks like The Rock, Triple H and Kane overcame terrible early gimmicks to become household names, a half-human half-robot definitely sounds like a death knell to any career. Thankfully for Cena, his character got switched up to that of a rapper soon after his SmackDown debut and the rest, as they say, is history.
