Ranking John Cena's WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best
11. Vs. The Miz - WrestleMania XXVII
Eurgh, where to start. Well, I might as well start with the only positive thing that came out of this match, which was the glorious video package on The Miz beforehand. From then on, this was a mess. Miz was WWE Champion going into the bout, and although he still hangs his hat on being in the main event of WrestleMania today (as he should) it is undeniable that he was the third most important person in a two man championship match. This match, the biggest match of the year at the biggest show of the year served one purpose. That purpose was to start the build to the biggest match of next year at the biggest show of next year. It showed a remarkable amount of insecurity from WWE, and showed once again that making new stars wasn't something really interested them. The match initially ends in a double count-out just 14 minutes in, before The Rock somehow gains the power to re-start matches. One Rock Bottom later The Miz retains the belt, but nobody cares because John Cena vs. The Rock is on.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
