John Cena has been in 67 pay-per-view main events, dating from his first in 2005, to his last (for now) in 2018.

He's been in the ring with nearly every legend in the industry of the last 30 years that you could poke a stick at.

In among a sea of matches, stats and records, sits a line on Cena's résumé he'd rather you forget.

It reads: John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis, Over The Limit.

That might have been an excessive build to get to the point, but the one time Johnny Ace headlined a PPV was the absolute dregs of one of WWE's worst ever periods of creative rubbish and booking blindness.

The sheer f**kery (that counts as a word) involved for not just the match, but the entire angle, was enough to turn fans away from the product for good.

The match went on last ahead of CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship, which is the most painful bit of writing I've ever had to type out.

Cena didn't take the match seriously against the 50-year-old Laurinaitis, playing around and even putting the commentary headphones on during the match to make jokes.

The fact that Cena actually lost the match after Big Show's 12,054th heel turn only made the whole disaster even worse.

The brother of Road Warrior Animal was a handy performer back in his day while in Japan, but not in 2012 as a main event wrestler.
