10 Modern Wrestlers Who Embody The Spirit Of Classic Superstars

John Cena may never turn heel. Ever. Sure, there are rumors that he might finally become a bad guy once he returns from his hiatus. But those types of rumors are born out of frustration and misguided hope, and have been tossed around on the internet for years. It hasn't happened yet and it's possible it never will.

Therefore, in today's environment of antiheroes and constantly shifting allegiances, John Cena is a rare performer.

All-american and "good" as they get, to the point of being insufferably cheesy in the current WWE climate, John Cena represents the company's dedication to providing a PG-friendly face for their younger demographic to latch onto. Also, they want to sell as much merchandise as possible, and the do-gooder moves product as well as anyone.

Not unlike a certain vitamin-hawking, prayer-prescribing super babyface from the '80s.

Yes, the Hulk Hogan comparisons are certainly stale by this point, but that's only because Cena has thus far refused to do anything to nullify them. Cena is the new Hogan, and his character wouldn't be at all out of place in the classic Rock 'n' Wrestling lineup.
