The Leader of Cenation was not always interested in becoming a professional wrestler and certainly had a long journey ahead of him before he could realize his potential as a professional wrestler.
For the vast majority of his professional wrestling career, John Cena was almost always criticized for his skills inside the squared circle. In fact, that perception only changed towards the tail end of his active pro wrestling career.
While speaking with Cafe de Rene, a fan asked former WWE Superstar Maven about his opinion of Cena. Maven stated that John Cena was a bad wrestler and it was painful to watch him.
“He fell into the category of like the Lugers of the world that just couldn’t… I mean he couldn’t, as middle of a ground of a wrestler I was, he was bad. It’s painful to watch him run. It’s painful… Here’s the best way that I can think of describing him. Have you ever had a dream and in your dream you’re trying to accomplish something athletic and for whatever reason you just can’t do it? You know that feeling? Like you can’t run or get to or swim or whatever. Like to me, that’s how he just lived life. He just was like constantly just couldn’t move the right way.
Then again, like I said, the son of a btch was more over than anybody ever could’ve imagined. He’s a good entertainer. He could talk his a* off. Talk cirlces around everybody… And again, John was one of those guys that I knew in passing. You know, we never hung out. I don’t even think we never went out to eat together. But always just could not have been more polite to me. So, another guy that I could not be happier for his success. That said, he walked around like he had two left feet.”
