WWE: Wrestling Would Die Without John Cena as WWE's Main Man

The WWE has put so much into the furthering of John Cena’s illustrious career that if for any reason the star’s time in the company was cut short, the WWE would be in shambles.

With every championship that the great John Cena wins, the WWE is turning him more into what Hulk Hogan was for WWE in the '80s.

While Cena is drawing in the fans like crazy now and for the foreseeable future, what will happen if he and the company have a falling-out later on and the 27-time champion takes his talents to whatever federation is around then?

The WWE doesn’t have the talent to draw the casual fans in that John Cena does every week, and as much as diehard fans want to think that the WWE cares what they think, they do not.

With the reassurance that diehard fans will never go away, the WWE has been hopelessly trying to spread the WWE to the mainstream by pushing the people whom non-wrestling fans could get behind.

John Cena is cut from the same cloth as guys like Triple H, Undertaker, the Rock and Stone Cold, but the problem for the WWE is that they don’t have the next guy to take those reins—unless they believe that CM Punk is really the new way of thinking.

Newsflash, fans—the WWE doesn’t like CM Punk that much.

The only reason he got this push was because of his shoot promo all those weeks back and the contract dispute that became oh-so-public.

While CM Punk’s star burns bright now, will it go the way of the Miz’s momentum after a year?

No matter what people say, week in and week out, people tune in to WWE to see John Cena. Kids and adults line up every show for John Cena gear, and at the root of all of the decision in the WWE is money.

John Cena makes the WWE money.

You want to know why he keeps getting the belt back? It’s because he pays the bills for Vince McMahon.

Without him running the show, who will casual fans come to watch? The ever-boring Randy Orton? Mark Henry? Alberto Del Rio?

That is why Cena needs to be in the title picture at all times, and that's why fans just need to come to grips with what is going on in the WWE.

So next time you go to complain about how John Cena is the downfall of wrestling, take a second to stop being a jaded wrestling snob and look at it truthfully—WWE is John Cena, and without him, the company dies.
