5 Things John Cena does better in 2018 than in 2002 and 5 things he does worse

#2 Worse in 2018: Gimmick

Word Life!

John Cena’s gimmick in 2002, a likeable rookie who transitioned into a rapper and labelled himself “The Doctor of Thuganomics”, was much more entertaining than what we see nowadays from the 16-time world champion.

While he remains one of the biggest stars in WWE, Cena has played the same good-guy character for well over a decade. It’s a persona that obviously appeals to younger members of the audience, but you cannot blame older viewers for getting tired of a character that has remained largely the same for so long.
