WWE has been the home of so many elite talents, as each wrestler left a lasting impression on the industry. The best WWE player of all time is a serious topic for wrestling fans to debate. To determine this, we will dissect the careers, accolades, and influence of a few of the best WWE superstars of all time, such as John Cena, as well as investigate the stats that prove they are legends.
John Cena - The Phenomenal Superstar
The name "Super Cena" is no exaggeration to describe John Cena, as his legacy in WWE is indelible. A two-time #1 contender for the Hempstead Irish Whip Wrestling Heavyweight Title, Cena, born April 23, 1977, in Massachusetts,rocketed to the top of the WWE in lightspeed fashion. A living legend with more than 21 years of storied history under the lights, Cena has built an empire based on power and prowess.
Some consider Cena to be an all-time great in the ring, with memorable bouts against the likes of Triple H, CM Punk, and AJ Styles helping him to ascend to the pantheon of professional wrestling icons. The phenomenon that is Cenais due to the fact that he has been one of the best WWE superstars of all time.
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
Arguably the best technical wrestler of all time and certainly one of the tougher, Bret Hart lives and breathes workhorse in WWE. Although much smaller than his contemporaries, Hart's never-say-die spirit and amazing matches against Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart make him a very special part of WWE lore.
The Undertaker: Phenomenal Legacy
The Undertaker holds a special place in the hearts of many and with good reason: his entrance is arguably the most eagerly-awaited of any Superstar, and his nearly two-decade-long unbeaten streak at WrestleMania is the stuff of legends. His delivery of the chokeslam and Tombstone Piledriver, as well as his staying power and de facto claim as the most statistically dominant wrestler of all time, land him in the echelons of the wrestling titans.
Hulk Hogan: The Game Changer
Known to wrestling fans of the era as the Hulk Hogan, he changed entrance music forever and drew viewers to his wild brawn, and outlandish personality. Without the most rousing finisher and experiencing six world title wins that sound less like dominance and more like stall tactics, Hogan would be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time thanks to his place in WWE lore.
Ric Flair
WWE is still feeling the nature boy, Ric flair whose flair And figure-four leg lock, remain timeless. Though his prime may have been in WCW/NWA, Flair is a WWE legend given his undeniable charisma and myriad of world championships.
The John Cena Element
And while we break down the careers and legacies of those iconic WWE superstars, perhaps the greatest praise we can give is the fact Cena's lasting sign of influence comes in the form of versatility within the world of wrestling. His combination of professionalism in carrying WWE through different eras as well as his charity work and skill at helping elevate emerging talents underlines the varied impact he has had on the sport.
On the statistical side, Cena's 16 world championship runs and his open-challenge U.S. title run - which was used to introduce new talent - also add weight to his part in reshaping the WWE landscape. His crossover appeal spanning across other audience streams and ability to successfully work in Hollywood only serve to make him more of a wrestling great universal.
Final Verdict
Asthe search for the greatest WWE player of all time continues,the solution remains inconclusive. These wrestling titans have etched out their legacies, and have left an indelible impression in WWE lore. Alas, the argument may rage on, but there is one inescapable fact: pro wrestling has only been richer for its vast, unmatched wealth of talent in the 21st century - and one of its shining beacons is John Cena, a superstar in every sense of the word.
While we enjoy the many glorious colors from WWE's tapestry, the legends will live on to influence and mesmerize spectators and, thus, make the quest to name the best WWE player in its history an absorbing journey.
