John Cena started with the WWE in 2002 and it was Biker Taker who gave young Cena a rub in a backstage segment. Cena is regarded as one of the safest workers inside the ring. He has consistently delivered classic matches, even in his movie schedule!

Cena’s wrestling style is more power based than The Undertaker’s. The ‘Phenom‘ has everything from flying moves, mat wrestling, submission moves, and of course The Tombstone. Both are great wrestlers, but the ‘Deadman’ is in a league of his own.
