So, it's coming up on ten years since John Cena first won the WWE title from JBL at WrestleMania 21. Since then, he's more or less been the face of the company and has won a total of 15 World titles, taking on and usually defeating everyone that's been put in front of him, mostly as the main event or in a featured storyline, with very rare exceptions. There's no doubt that he has earned it, despite what some may think of him or his wrestling ability. My question is, thinking back to when he won the title for the first time, did any of you ever think he'd be where he is now? Did anyone honestly think that he would ever be on par with or perhaps even bigger than some of the biggest names in wrestling history. I realize that so much has changed over the years, and the days of only defending a title once every few months or so are long gone, but jeez, it's only taken the guy ten years and he's only one World title reign from tying one of the best ever in history, Ric Flair. Honestly, who could've seen that coming? I know I didn't.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. What do you guys think? Did any of you look at Cena back then when he first made it to the top and say: "He's got what it takes to stay there for a very long time."? Or did you possibly believe that despite his getting over that he may have been a flash in the pan? Either way, I'm almost certain no one could have predicted that he would be where he is now. Was it the right move by WWE, in your opinion? I now leave it open to you guys.
