Hulk Hogan Says John Cena Is The Greatest WWE Champion Ever

Hulk Hogan's relationship with the WWE appears to still be in the honeymoon stages, as the former twelve-time world champion was glowing when asked about the stars in WWE's Summerslam main event. Hogan complimented both John Cena and Brock Lesnar, but particularly put over Cena, citing his tireless charity work and schedule as factors in his stardom. "Well, Brock is a phenom. His credibility is over the top, but you got to realize John Cena is the man. He's the foundation of the whole company. He's the guy that they bet on and his attitude is he loves the company. He loves being on the road, he's got wrestling in his blood. And for him to be so graceful when he's tired and there's no sleep, no food and these Make-A-Wish kids come to him even for five minutes, he'll spend a whole day with them. His priorities are in order. No matter what whether he wins or loses he's still the man." Hogan told Busted Open Radio this week. As John Cena rapidly approaches Ric Flair's 16-time world champion status, Hogan said that Cena is already the greatest WWE champion ever. To me, I've been around for a long time and I've done a lot to help this business, but it fails in comparison to what John Cena has done. In my opinion, John Cena is the greatest WWE champion of all time. If Brock Lesnar was to beat him, creative storyline wise yeah you have something there. I hope he knows he's got huge shoes to fill. I don't think Cena's going anywhere. I may go out there and hit Brock with a chair just so he doesn't win," Hogan said. This is high praise from one of the most successful champions in wrestling history. Cena, much like Hogan, received divided reactions throughout his career.
