Welcome to my first column here on OWW. A little about me before the main event, I am a 23 year old wrestler in training. I was born and raised in Southern California, and have been a wrestling fan since the age of two, when some of my first memories are of excitedly watching Hulk Hogan's Rock N Wrestling, in between showings of Thundercats and He-Man. My youth consisted mainly of WWF TV such as Saturday Night's Main Event, whatever the Saturday morning squash show was, and the Sunday mid-day recap show that was used to lead into the next week's programming. By the mid-Nineties I had access to a video store that ordered each and every WWF and WCW pay-per-view tape specifically for me to rent, as they were released. But enough about me, lets get to my first column's main topic - John Cena.

Now before you assume this is another "Cena sucks!" rant, read on. This column is probably going to get me a lot of heat from the smarks and some of the bandwagon fans. I truly believe John Cena is one of the best Sports-Entertainers in the world. There, I said it. One of the best technical wrestlers in the world" Not so much. And that's where the "CENA SUCKS!" chants come from.

You see, Cena's style is one that quite honestly is more suited to a man the size of Kane or Abyss. He uses a classic big man's style. Power is the key with his style, something he has in spades. I mean, how often do you see someone pick up Big Show on their shoulders and deliver a Death Valley Driver (the FU), not once but TWICE" Cena did it at WMXX. He has power beyond his looks and uses it in his offense. Its not easy to use a finisher like the FU for very long because a finisher is a move that has to be applied to anyone, big, small, short, tall, or otherwise. But Cena has the power to use it all day long no matter the opponent. His entire moveset is power moves - belly to back into a Powerbomb, shoulder block off the Irish Whip, Stalling Suplex, and strikes from any direction. Not very technical, but then again how many power wrestlers are"

"The Champ is here!" How the hell does someone have the balls to say that on TV" Simple, someone with mic skills does. John Cena has great mic skills. A lot of people complain about his mic skills because of his raps from a few years ago. I don't know about you, but I loved his comedic raps. The key to a great face is comedy. Look how it worked for the Rock (oh I'm gonna hear it for that comment). And look at his interviews now - I recall an interview by Maria on July 24th where John Cena made fun of the whole situation on RAW including this comment- "Edge, the Rated-R Superstar, we all know you're rated PG-13! Now Lita on the other hand, is rated NC-17, No Cold-sores for 17 days. Just a reminder folks, there is no cure for Genital Herpes. You can suppress it, you can't stop it." Now tell me, with his facial expressions and mannerisms how could you not laugh" I sure did.

And last but not least, Cena does his part to put others over. How you may ask" In one year, Cena has dropped the WWE Title to two of my favorite wrestlers, Edge and RVD, and made sure they looked good in the process. Edge and Cena had what was arguably the best feud this year, along with the most shocking title change in the history of wrestling at New Year's Revolution. No one expected Edge to challenge right after the brutal Elimination Chamber Match, let alone win the title. And on top of making all the Edge fans happy, Cena had the job (no pun intended) of going into ECW One Night Stand to drop the title and put RVD over in front of the most Anti-Cena crowd I've ever seen or heard. There was even a sign in the crowd that said "If Cena Wins We Riot". And Cena dropped the title graciously. No bitching, no moaning, nothing. Hell, he even picked up a loss in the Champion of Champions Match, where I'm sure everyone assumed he would be the winner by virtue of being the champion on the flagship show, RAW.

Now, I wholeheartedly support everyone's right to their own opinion. As such I hope that you understand mine when it comes to the "Doctor of Thuganomics". John Cena is a well rounded, POWER wrestler, with mic skills and the professionalism needed to be a great Sports-Entertainer. John Cena says "You can't see me", but I see him. Open your minds and you might, too. Until next time.
