3. Should Cena Break Flair's Record?
This one could ruffle a few feathers: I don't think Cena should beat Flair's record, but I do think he should equal it.
For me, this would strike a balance between the two aspects of being a great wrestler - the Hogan archetype of pure entertainment and storytelling, and the emphasis on fantastic ringwork. Of course, Flair is known for both - but, particularly later in his career, so is Cena. He's been 'the other guy' in a number of fantastic bouts over the years, despite still being underrated by many.
But yes, primarily, The Nature Boy is thought of as an all-time great worker, while Cena is Mr. Sports Entertainment, so I'd quite enjoy seeing him equal Flair's record - if only for the symbolism attached.
Under no circumstances should he break it, of course, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
