All the guys who loved Cena as kids have grown up and are now adults. It’s nice to see him not get booed by sweaty marks now.

[@MKillBill]

He was booed for a reason. His character was (and still is) stale.

[@serieseditors6570]

​@@MKillBillEvery great wrestler has gotten some hate in their career. Cena, Taker, Austin, Rock, Hogan, Flair, Roman, Brock, etc.-were all booed at certain points in their careers.

[@davefarlow]

​@@MKillBillHes not being booed now.

[@wrestlingp]

​@@serieseditors6570agreed and I think nobody hated Cena himself but his poor booking

[@Samconery]

@@wrestlingp people hated Cena. None were smart enough to realize that he was being booked bad. People legit acted as if John owned the company.

I want him to become 17x world champion before he retires

Everybody wants 🥰

John Cena was my childhood hero. Him talking about hanging it up really soon hurts my heart but Im happy to have grown up watching this legend in the ring. His farewell tour will be bitter sweet and hopefully they come up with a story to satisfyingly end his career. THANK YEWW JOHN 🙏🙏🔥🔥

[@EMVPIID]

He’s the guy who should stay PG in the new era. Seems like we have moved towards a TV-14 product. But while he caught our attention as the Dr. of Thugonomics, he won our hearts as Mr. Hustle Loyalty & Respect. Let him retire how he should, as the guy who children look at as the superhero, the guy who always salutes the soldiers, the guy who always does community outreach. He’s a class act through & through. He’s the best career that I’ve watched from start to finish. Amazing guy, amazing heart.

[@glswenson]

Honestly I feel like if he comes back it'll finally be as a heel. They already had planned it, and he's lost how many matches now with his HLR gimmick? Perhaps in kayfabe he feels the need to change to win.

[@arjunj8776]

@@glswensontbh i think that ship has sailed now

[@henryowens396]

@@arjunj8776 Agreed, would of been cool a few years ago, but now that he's looking to ride off into the sunset i reckon it's better to just let him be the good dude he is and we can all enjoy it

[@dark20blade88]

Cena sucks

[@enigmatictrash]

Well he wasn't really what you'd call "PG". Idk what you're trying to refer to. John was never really that much of a kids baby face. He goes hard in some of his promos with mature themes, he always has. Just cause he works with kids and they look up to him dosent make his character pg. Plus the pg Era didn't begin until 2008 and cena had been this character since 2005.

[@LordLOC]

I love how we've gone full circle with Cena. From heel to super baby face. From being booed, to being loved for years to being booed incredibly loudly for years and then now just the crowds go nuts when he comes back.

[@jacobmccain8082]

Cena was never a heel. He just always won back when and fans hated it. But he stuck it out and won over everybody. I think his US Open Challenge Run was what did it.

[@LordLOC]

@@jacobmccain8082 He was a heel back in 2002 or 2003 or so with the thug life gimmick, though one can argue he was just a Stone Cold style face rather than a heel even then. But that didn't last long as we know, maybe less than a year?

[@michaeliser5747]

D butz with the low key “where is he” hahahaha

[@zatchiconbell8122]

10:58 where the crowd shout 17 that means they want john cena to win 17th world champion for one final run before his 50

[@mangotar0]

6:24 My favorite part. Hella deep. Cena showing experience and wisdom.

[@SaulAguilar.]

The thing is Roman set the bar super high lol. That’s why Cody said “I hope I can be half the champion Roman was” But great wisdom

[@Seahawkfan1108]

i grew up during the end of the attitude era and the start of the ruthless aggression era, john was that guy that made smackdown along with many superstars on that roster a must see every week. then when he got drafted to RAW, he just skyrocketed into the GOATED skies. all those years of watching him wrestle and not once did i ever think it would end but now...every second i hear those trumpets blaring and cena running down the ramp. i'm grateful for every single second he slides in to those sneakers and jean shorts, i almost shed a few tears when he came to cody's rescue. i'll be here waiting for cena's last ride and hopefully #17 before he hangs up the jean shorts. forever apart of the chain gang........ 🖐🏼🚫

[@Bunslightyear]

John Cena is and always be my favorite! Love all of his movies! He truly is a goat! I will miss him when he retires.

[@MisterGravelrama]

As someone who used to chime in live with the opposing response to the "let's go Cena" chants from the kids, I have come full circle on this man. Peacemaker is so funny as a show/character & John comes off as a very self aware human who is trying to make himself and the world a better place. Much respect to him for real. Thanks for another entertaining segment fellas.

[@thefertilemind]

No more jokes about not being able to see this man. See him and appreciate him ☝🏾

[@nastravis3316]

Gonna need that Randy vs cena match

[@nickpaulo5202]

He should beat flair and be superstar with most world titles

[@deliriouswhome1]

Why, winning one more title wouldn't make him better than Rick flair.. Flair also won 21 world titles, not 16, like WWE promotes.

[@presidentc4]

​@@deliriouswhome1Cena BEEN better than Flair

[@deliriouswhome1]

@@presidentc4the post was about world titles,,not your feelings. Flair has 21, the only reason WWE doesn't recognize the others, is because those matches , weren't televised back in the day.. That is a fact. So winning one more if world titles is your benchmark, wouldn't make him better than flair or technically have more titles. Why do Cena fans get so defensive... As if the idea of being the goat isn't a matter of opinion.. You say flair not better but alot these older guys made the industry what it is today.. They wrestled more, their merch sales are equal in today's economy, they carried companies, sometimes multiple in a career.. This why guys like Cena, rock, Austin and others pay tribute to these guys. The cycle will go on, and wrestlers will do the same to Cena, the Rock and Austin.. But it always it's easier for the generation.. Marketing changes.. social media .. accessibility.. My point is you can't really compare a terry funk ,Rick flair .. with guys in this era.. But if world champions is the mark, yes flair would come out on top.

[@presidentc4]

@@deliriouswhome1 not reading all that. They're both 16x champs and Cena is better than Ric

[@deliriouswhome1]

@@presidentc4 but you would be wrong.. flair again has 21 titles, not 16. You don't read anything .. if your ego is too big to know the truth. Typical Cena fan..,🙄 No wrestling intelligence..all mouth...

[@navtektv]

I definitely don't want any of the guys I saw Wrestling growing up go the Ric Flair route with one last match for the last ten ones. So if Cena wants one more run, he looks like he can still go so he should go. But not in a flimsy title battle feud. Make it matter. Write a good story, make us care and make us feel.
