#4 John Cena – Ruthless Aggression/PG Era

*Cena’s unique gimmick was relatable and propelled him to superstardom*

Say what you want about WWE’s current top guy, but you know as good as well as I do that when Cena turned face before Survivor Series 2003, there was no turning back for him. Cena catapulted into superstardom and the rest was history.

He was good looking, has an incredible physique, and a gimmick that many fans related to. As the Doctor of Thuganomics, his raps were awesome at that time, which blurred the lines between insults and controversy.

I remember telling my brother before that Survivor Series “When Cena turns face, he’ll be up there with Stone Cold Steve Austin.” Thirteen years later, I was right.
