>>7255825As an adult I understand how truly great he was now more than ever before.
The Make A Wish visits, the softspoken and humble interviews, the sheer difficulty of being an over the moon topguy face of the company babyface, everything.
After seeing Roman's reign, I appreciate not having a boring charisma vacuum for a champion. John Cena is probably the best good guy champion in WWF/WWE history: not an egomaniac like Hulk Hogan, good on the mic unlike Bret Hart, penetrates the mainstream unlike Steve Austin (leaving aside moral ambiguity), there is legitimately no one on his level as the total package. Randy Savage could have been all that but was sabotaged by Hoggin' and Crince.
I don't miss John Cena per se; I think it's a shame that he has no true replacement / successor. RR sucks more impo.
