WWE's chief content officer Triple H has revealed why John Cena has been successful in his legendary career. Cena is in the final stretch of his retirement tour, which is set to conclude this December at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Speaking to Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco on the Nightcap podcast on Friday before WWE's major announcement regarding WrestleMania 43, Triple H was asked by the NFL legends about the secret to being a successful WWE Superstar.
The Hall of Famer revealed that athleticism is not the biggest factor to have in a WWE Superstar. It's charisma, mentioning the likes of the late Hulk Hogan and The GOAT as examples.
"In our business sometimes, I can make you a list of the guys, Hulk Hogan, love him to death, biggest star of all time, not the most athletic guy on the planet, correct? You know, John Cena, not the most athletic guy on the planet. A lot of those guys, the list of people, they have incredible charisma, incredible crowd presence, incredible ability to control a crowd and tell a story, that's more important. Charisma is king in our business," Triple H said.
