Ranking What Was Really The Best Wrestling Entrance Every Year 1990-2021

15. 2007 - John Cena, WWE WrestleMania 23

Austin Omega
WWE

This entry totally contradicts the introduction because there was no character-driven psychology to it whatsoever. There was car-driven psychology, but that doesn't count. John Cena was not Bob Holly.

It was simply a region-inspired thing that it was thought would look cool at an event where everything, whether it makes a lick of friggin' sense or not, has to look cooler. It was John Cena, in the motor city of Detroit, driving a car really, really fast and then smashing it through some glass.

Hollow high production values nonsense, but the good kind.
