3. John Cena
Believe me, I know the hatred the internet seems to have for Cena. But everyone else seems to love the guy. I love what he stands for, but I hate that he's not done much in terms of character and stories you can tell with Cena. Wounded Underdog vs. Monster Heel is getting old. But hey, it puts kids in seats. And kid fans become adult fans. I admit I loved Hulkster when I was a kid. I get it, I get his appeal, I just dislike that he's unwilling to do the turn he needs to do to get people watching again. He becomes Hollywood Hogan-style Cena? We've got a winner -- adults start watching, and we get compelling TV. Also, he's got the title match that night with Orton. However, Hogan won the World Title from Yokozuna at a Wrestlemania that Bret Hart had just lost. Hogan just slipped in and became top dog by 'saving' Hart. It's gonna be hard for fans to swallow if Cena loses to Orton, then wins the Rumble, but it might be the best way to set up Wrestlemania. I give that scenario 25 to 1 odds, given that the WWE's front office has basic crowd deafness. It's kind of nostalgic, like when the broadcast team would pretend they didn't hear the 'Rocky Sucks!' chants every time Rocky Maivia came to the ring wearing his pastels.
