John Cena's position at the summit of World Wrestling Entertainment guarantees his position as the most regular subject of death hoaxes in the entire business. As well as his own individual death hoaxes, the leader of the Cenation's name has been inserted into almost every bogus story on this list. He's a guaranteed bringer of website traffic. A prominent scam in 2012 claimed that Cena had died as a result of a neck injury sustained whilst practicing a stunt with The Rock. He has also been linked to the same fall that supposedly killed The Rock and the vehicle accident previously experienced by Ric Flair. Even more dramatically, another death hoax suggested that Cena may have been killed in a plane crash just outside Denver. Whether it's Cena's search engine potential or the fact that some fans take great pleasure in disliking him, it's clear that he inspires a rather unique sense of imagination in the internet death hoaxers.
