10 Reasons Why It Took John Cena 16 Years To Get Good At Wrestling
He's finally honed his craft.
After 16 years as a performer, John Cena's finally a really good wrestler on the cusp of being truly great. No, this isn't meant to be some sort of grandstanding knock against Cena, but rather a nuanced criticism of a guy who's done what he's asked with the tools he's been granted and actually made chicken salad out of chicken s**t night in and night out for almost a decade of being "the face of WWE." There's numerous reasons why John Cena hasn't necessarily excelled to the level that should be demanded of every legendary WWE performer. Cena's been WWE's "lead dog" during an era where WWE has transitioned in numerous ways, and now has finally seemed to settle on a new progressive vision for wrestling and entertainment. Having to hold the metaphorical flag aloft without having a pole to attach it to is hard work, but a job that Cena's accepted and done as well as anyone could. Here's ten logical reasons why it took John Cena almost two decades of wrestling to really get "good" at it. Again, this is not meant as a jab at the man, but more a reflection of a man installed in an amazing position at an incredible time.
