Wrestlemania Week Day Six: John Cena Is Better Than The Rock

Yeah, you heard what I said: John Cena is better than The Rock.

Here's why:

--Jim "The Rock" Kelly: The Rock main-evented Wrestlemania three years in a row and lost three years in a row. That makes "The Great One" the Buffalo Bills of Wrestlemania. Rock is 4-4 overall at the event while Cena stands at 6-1 and counting.

--I did it for The Rock: Is it a coincidence that the height of The Rock's popularity came when Steve Austin was out with a legitimate neck injury? And when Stone Cold came back Rock went right back to second string face? Cena on the other hand, despite Batista and Randy Orton nipping at his heels, has proven in this era he is the franchise.

If you smell what Cenation is cookin'.

--"The Scorpion King" sucked: One drawback to living in a dorm freshman year was a limited amount of channels, one of them playing "The Scorpion King" over and over again. Hopefully students at URI have been treated to "12 Rounds".

--Rapping is cool: While he doesn't really do it anymore, Cena's rapping skills made him one of the best with a mic early in his career. Rock may have millions (and millions) of fans but he only has his recycled catchphrases.

--The real People's Champion: Who appointed The Rock "The People's Champion?" Anyone who refers to himself in the third person doesn't give a hoot about the people. John Cena on the other hand, has a great bond with the WWE Universe, which can be seen in the children's faces all over the arena.

--The better champion: Both The Rock and John Cena are seven time WWF/E champions. Cena's first three reigns (280 days, 133, 380) all lasted longer than The Rock's longest title run (119). Apparently the writers felt "the most electrifying man is sports entertainment" wasn't long term championship material.

There you have it. John Cena is better than The Rock. If you disagree with me you're welcome to debate the argument. But before you do, keep this in mind.

Out.
