The 13th of December John Cena will have his last match at Saturday Night’s Main Event… My history with Cena goes back to the Prototype era with Road to Glory DVD. This was a compilation DVD filled with matches, promos, and a behind the scenes look from at the time current WWE Superstars like John Cena, The Miz, Chris Masters, and the reason I bought this DVD, for the Joe-Daniels match. I was hitting the dirt sheets hard around that time finding out indie promotions.

Gunther… I like this match. As I stated, Knight-Cena would be to “WWE Style” where with Gunther I can see Cena pull out a few indie comebacks. Pro Wrestling Guerrilla – BOLA 2017 is where I laid my eyes on Walter. He was a big guy who wrestled a Regal style. I then YouTube all his highlights and followed him ever since. You know the only way to get his action figure at the time was only through Ringside Collectibles. Now he’s in every wave of Mattel WWE figures. WWE’s top heel, if you will…

A lot of people don’t know this but John Cena did appear at WrestleMania 19 and as WWE likes to do, making WMXX his “first appearance” in ring. Cena came out rapping to two cardboard cutouts of Mini-Me and Austin Powers with Jay-Z and Puff Daddy’s faces on them. 

I been watching a lot of Cena interviews. CVV, Rogan, Simmons, etc anyway… I’m expecting Cena to tell these great stories about these matches and moments but all I’m getting is life lessons and ass kissing. At least CVV got a few good answers out of him. Undertaker’s Last Ride DocU series was excellent. A lot of questions I had throughout his career were answered. Where is the purple costume, Why did the streak end. I guess Cena will never sit down with HighSpots or Kayfabe Commentaries. Closest we ever got was with CVV in my opinion.

I watched all of Cena’s SmackDown! run as the Doctor of Thuganomics, watched him defeat Big Show for the US Championship and the rest is history. My favorite opponents from Cena’s whole run goes Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, and Edge. I got to watch Styles and Owens put on great matches with Cena, but with it Edge it was a blood feud. Cena AA’ing Edge off a ladder, Edge cashing in and getting the victory and becoming WWE Champion. The most recent Cena-Styles match was fantastic. So much call back and love in that match. 

He states, he will never wrestle again and he is fully retired from in ring action and do I believe it… Yes, I do. I do think Cena has had enough and he may be a little slower than some of the current NXT or main roster guys. And he sees that and he’s ready go. That’s cool. But your heel turn was terrible. Everything after that has been great.

Cena’s acting is okay. I enjoy Peacemaker and seeing the memes that come from those Fast and the Furious movies… Family… Cena’s later run like US open challenge, or with Punk and Nexus, Mania match with Taker, to me Cena was just there. I wasn’t enjoying seeing Super Cena and the same thing other and over. His work with Bray Wyatt was good even though I don’t understand it. AJ, Steen, was good. Anything with Brock I payed attention too. That story goes back to The Next Big Thing. Hated his matches with Big Show one on one but put Edge or Angle in a triple threat with them and I’m down. His slap promo with Danielson stands out to me the most. Both matches with the Rock could’ve been better. I don’t think Rock thought it through. He wasn’t ready. Cena was game, Rock broke like glass.

Gunther will go over, Cena is a company man and you always do the favor on the way out. Word is Cena’s match is up first so he can give the spotlight the NXT and main roster people. I think Cena will tap. Gunther has to beat Super Cena and history will be made… I enjoyed watching John Cena. He did good at One Night Stand, he became a Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold to a whole generation. His best work in my opinion is with indie or none WWE produced wrestlers. Word Life or as I remember the very short lived… Ruck Fules!
