Do u think letting Cena defeat Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26 would put him in the same league with other icons?
Like Hogan, Austin, and Rock? Or notable legends like Flair, Bret, Michaels, or Triple H?
http://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/wi/2009 /1118/462610/john-cena/index.shtml
With the rumors circulating everywhere and the possibility of Cena facing Taker at Wrestlemania 26 (source above), anything could happen. And logically, although I believe The Streak will never end, no one is fitter than Cena to end The Streak at the moment.
Some people have been saying that the honor should go to a young upcoming superstar who will be big in the future like John Morrison, CM Punk, Ted DiBiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, Evan Bourne, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, or Kofi Kingston…but is it right to do so? How do you know the young upcoming superstar would last longer than Undertaker in WWE? A lot of fans believed Kennedy would be a future HOF-er and legend, but look where he is now. There’s no guara*damn*tee at all that the young upcoming superstar would be that great. Not to mention they got no credibility at the moment, and defeating Taker’s Streak will always overshadow every damn thing they did in their career. And I believe, no matter how people cheer for it, Ted DiBiase Jr isn’t nowhere near the class on ending The Streak after a match for ages.
What about giants? Taker faced many giants such as Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, Big Show, A-Train, and Mark Henry, right? Yes, and those five matches also have one similarity, they are all bad boring matches that successfully lessened the credibility of The Streak. And since Vince seemed to stop putting giants against The Undertaker because of the big time failure against Mark Henry at Wrestlemania 22, I guess the chance for Kozlov, Jackson, Drew, Knox, and Sheamus are pretty much zero.
That leaves one last contender, the big names. Frankly speaking the big names which have fallen to The Streak would be Jimmy Snuka, Jake Roberts, Diesel/Nash, Sycho Sid, Kane, Triple H, Ric Flair, Randy Orton, Batista, Edge, and Shawn Michaels. In current WWE, only Jericho and Cena left to face him as the big names. But like Samoan Roots explained in one of his answers, regardless of his amazing skills, Jericho’s credibility to end The Streak is far lower than Shawn Michaels. Heck, maybe even lower than Edge!! Anyone who believes Jericho will end The Streak if he faces The Undertaker at WM 26 must be daydreaming. The match would be an epic, yes. But the anxiety? Slim to none.
A different story with John Cena. Cena’s wrestling skills isn’t half as good as Y2J’s, but who is the top star of the rosters? Who is the biggest name in the company? Who has never lost at singles title matches at Wrestlemania? Who consistently overcame the odds and came out victorious? Who is the face of the corporation? Who is the Icon of WWE? Who is Vince’s Poster Boy? There’s only one answer : JOHN CENA!!!
Over the years since becoming the Champ, Cena has been consistently built as the unstoppable superman. In his first year in SD!, he pawned Mysterio, Big Show, and Booker T. And during his first days in RAW, he owned Jericho, Christian, and Angle. Then he went on to defeat HHH, HBK, Edge, Umaga, Khali, Lashley, Orton, Sabu, and many other top challengers. Sure, he isn’t undefeated at Wrestlemania anymore, but he never lost in singles matches at Wrestlemania. Whenever anyone wants to get some, he’ll give them some. Practically, he has defeated almost every top stars in WWE but one, The Undertaker.
They had a match back at Vengeance which occurred in July 2003, back when Cena had only completed one year in the WWE and was still a mid-card heel in the white rapper gimmick, Cena has come a long way in those 6 years and I believe the WWE has purposely kept Cena and Undertaker apart from each other to save them for a huge main event which only seems Wrestlemania worthy in my opinion. Cena has been a Raw fixture the last 4 years with the Undertaker serving on Smackdown ever since late 2002, however they rarely have come into contact at any joint function involving the rosters. They got a little brawl at RAW’s family reunion in 2006 and Taker owned Cena last monday, leading many fans to believe these two would square off at the grandest stage of them all next year.
By putting Cena vs Taker at Wrestlemania, WWE can hype the match like Andre vs Hogan at WM 3, with the high possibility of the face of WWE ending The Unbeaten Streak of a legendary giant. The icon versus the legend. The unstoppable force versus the immobile object. The Champ versus The Deadman.
Believe me, just by announcing this match WWE would get all the attentions from both younger and older generation fans. Just by hype only, WWE would make millions, let alone if something ‘controversial’ in the match (ending The Streak, I mean). Don’t believe in me? Look for yourself, one Tombstone and the rumor has been spreading all over the world!!
Vince is a good businessman, he knows if he really makes Taker vs Cena at WM official he would
make millions of money and gains tons of attention. Just by the announcement and hype only, WWE would have gotten billions of attention.
Either way, we still don’t know if the match will really happen at Wrestlemania 26 or not, but believe me. No disrespect to other great athletes in WWE, but the very second WWE officially announce the match, that very momenmoment, this match has already taken at least 80% of the hype, attention, hope, anxiety, and promo from the rest of the cards.
And hell yeah, Taker vs Cena at Wrestlemania is Andre vs Hogan in our time. Whether it’s Jericho or Cena, prepare yourself for a classic!
Answer my question above. Best response will get 10 points.
This is a tough, tough call, and man, regardless of what eventually happens between the two (and mark my words, like you said, they WILL eventually square off), it will be a very difficult decision for Vince to make. Does he allow one of, if not the, greatest superstars of all time ride off into the sunset with one of the most hallowed streaks in wrestling history intact, even though The Undertaker only realistically has two or three years left? Or does he risk further alienating and angering his hardcore fan base (which, to be honest, Vince has never really cared that much about anyway) by ending said streak but launching his biggest current superstar, who will presumably be the face of the company for the next decade, into the stratosphere by accomplishing one of the last truly unique moments in wrestling? No matter which way you slice it, it’s a pickle for Vince.
I really liked some of the things you said above. After all, you’re right, if you look at the situation objectively, who’s better suited to end the streak than John Cena? You’re point about Mr. Kennedy fits perfectly. Many people, myself included, thought that Kennedy would wind up on the same level as guys like Austin and The Rock, but less than eight months after I thought that, look at where he is now. On the "do not call" list. That’s how fast things can change, espcially with guys that aren’t already established in the main event. Much like how he chooses who wins the Royal Rumble each year, I really don’t think Vince will be comfortable with any of his mid-carders, no matter how promising they may be (again, look at Kennedy) ending the streak. There is just too much at stake. Plus, you brought up another good point by saying that if someone like Jack Swagger ends the streak too early in his career, that is all that he’ll be known for, and that defeats the whole purpose of him ending it in the first place.
But with Cena, that wouldn’t be a problem. Cena is at the perfect stage of his career to end the streak in the next two or three years. He’s the face of the company, but unlike guys like Shawn Michaels, Batista and maybe even Triple H, he probably will be for the next ten to 15 years. He’s already accomplished so much, from headlining every Wrestlemania for the last five years to winning a number of world championships (with very good reigns I might add) and winning the Royal Rumble. He’s made the biggest star of the generation, Triple H, and one of the biggest stars of the 90’s, Shawn Michaels, tap out in back to back years on the biggest stage of them all. He’s forging his own streak at Survivor Series. He’s competed in every major match type WWE has to offer. Basically what I’m trying to say is that ending the streak won’t define John Cena’s career, it will only enhance it.
The big drawback that I’m worried about though is the obvious one. By ending the streak and almost by default "retiring" The Undertaker at Wrestlemania (which is the only place The Undertaker’s story can end), I’m nervous that that will put John Cena past the point of no return with a lot of fans. Now, to be fair, 95 percent of wrestling fans aren’t the ones like you and me who are online talking about wrestling. Most just watch WWE and just watch it for pure entertainment, and couldn’t care less about what goes on backstage, and those are the fans WWE cators to, because they make up the bulk of their audience. So while a number (and it’s probably a high number) of hardcore fans would be mightily pissed off, I really don’t think it would bother the average fan that much. Plus, it would just result in the online community complaining some more, and let’s be honest here, is that really anything new?
But to the casual fan, yes, having John Cean break the streak, which in all honesty I would say is a very real possibility (and from a personal standpoint, something I would like to see, even though The Undertaker is one of my favorites), would elevate him into the same level with the normal fan as Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Triple H.
Clark W-Sheppard LOST | Nov 19, 2009
Taker vs Cena would be a great match for WM. But Cena beating Taker will NOT be a good idea. If you’re concerned about Cena not being up there with all those legends, believe me, HE IS!
undertakersymbiote | Nov 19, 2009
Cena is already an icon,just like Hogan,Austin and Rock,like him or not.He has sold lots of merchandise for his fans,has kept WWE going and has fought Triple H,Shawn Michaels,Chris Jericho,Edge,Batista,Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton - all big names.Thus I don’t see why Cena shouldn’t be facing Undertaker.
But Cena beating Taker is a no go.Taker is what he is mainly because of the Streak,and the Streak should be kept alive.Also Cena wouldn’t be in the same league as Bret Hart and HBK.
Captain Thinesh the ABU Killer | Nov 19, 2009
it wouldnt all it would do is take the undertakers biggest achievement taken away and piss the millions and the millions of the undertakers fan off
[ndc]new kid | Nov 19, 2009
I agree that Cena vs Undertaker would be a very good match, and a very big draw for Wrestlemania. However Cena gets enough crap he doesn’t deserve from fans at the moment anyway. I he were to end Undertakers streak, he would get more heat than Vickie Guerrero as WWE Champion.
ASK HIM | Nov 19, 2009
All i have to say is this…. If Cena ends the streak of the Undertaker.. I and thousands of the wwe fans in attendance and at home will RIOT and then stop watching
PWF Chairman | Nov 19, 2009
man oh man..that would be some real juicy stuff right there..could you imagine that..a 17 year legacy down the drain within an hour..cena would be legendary
Elle | Nov 19, 2009
I can appreciate that Cena is a very charismatic and popular wrestler, and does know his way around a ring quite well, but I would rather see a match starring Jimmy Wang Yang or Charlie Haas. I, like many people, do not particularly like Cena as a wrestler, given my general discontent for Powerhouse wrestlers, who have a rather repitive match pattern (Cena starts offense with punches, hits some powerslams, has opponent have a go, riles up and then hits the FU, or locks in the STFU). Really, if Cena broke Taker’s streak, I would probably turn away from that company forever.
Honestly, there are very few people who deserve to have the honour of breaking Takers streak. Chris Jericho is the only person in the WWE at present who I believe is the only person qualified to break it. Floating through over companies, Sting has the credentials, and, if he were alive, Mitsuharu Misawa would be a top candidate; But Cena- If that happened, my faith in Vince McMahon would be shattered.
And really, after I have endured Chavo jobbing to a midget, Brian Kendrick and Mr. Kennedy’s releases (upon internet-searching, I am annoyed that I didn’t see the latter wrestle as much), The Khali Kiss-Cam, Shelton Benjamin and Christian going nowhere, Jeff Hardy winning a world champion, while Jimmy Wang Yang hasn’t won a match since the Cruiserweight Championship became redundant, and Triple H inevitably breaking Ric Flair’s record, I am really getting sick of his shit.
ACC-R-Truth edition (YINPW) | Nov 19, 2009
Wow interesting point. Are you sure Cena will be a face? If they go the Face - face match, I could easily see a WM 17 swerve, and Cena becomes the biggest Heel of all time. Especially if McMahon was to screw Taker out of the match and join forces. Not completely out of the realm of possibility, but that will definitely put butts in seats.
Plus, Jericho has a built in feud with Edge and if Edge doesn’t come back in time, then he has the Big Show to feud with.
They are also planting the seeds for Kane - Taker 3 which I believe is a viable way for Taker to lose. kind of a passing of the torch like Rock and Stone Cold… Finally
Y_Isaac | Nov 19, 2009
nope be it should be a good match the fans will be abt 50-50 as many like cena and many like undertaker
kane 316 | Nov 19, 2009
Yes, it will be Cena’s life’s biggest achievement ever.
WWE RULZZ!!! | Nov 19, 2009
clown i got to be honest with you john cena is already there i mean he is the hulk hogan of today but do i think going to wrestlemania against the deadman will help yes i do
Happy 19th anniversary taker(X) | Nov 19, 2009
I am a Taker fan but Cena should not end his streak yet no one should/
CenaTM | Nov 19, 2009
That is way too much to read. It all comes down to this…of course not…Cena will be in the league of stone cold. except, I already consider him to be in the league of Stone Cold, just like Kahli and Big show are in Andre’s league. And Orton is in The Rock’s league. etc.
but Austin is still a cripple. And despite being crippled, would dominate every wrestler in a handicap match. just because he brings in the money. cena is the same thing, he makes the money cuz of little kids, and for that reason, he will always win, without skill, without reason, just..because he makes the money…
cena IS Austin. Period.
But maybe I’m biased. Because I already know why Cena wins, I havn’t gotten to see what he can do without all that support. so, it’s not yet fair until Cena turns heel. If ever.
