3. Worst. Spot-Caller. EVER

Anyone who watches a John Cena match with a somewhat critical eye has seen (or heard) this on multiple occasions, so we’ve got to call attention to it at some point.

John Cena is a horrendous spot-caller, perhaps the worst in WWE. During his matches, Cena can clearly be seen barking out the next sequence of moves to his opponent. Sometimes, the ring mic picks up the sound, and you then don’t even have to worry about lip-reading. Monday night, you could see Cena telling Seth Rollins to get up after a move, then later telling him to duck a clothesline, and later to jump into a crossbody.

For everything that Cena does well in the realm of professional wrestling, this is one aspect where he fails miserably. And for that, he deserves to be mildly chastised.
