Iv often thought that had the WWE kept John Cena in a midcard position (or just on smackdown for a little but longer) maybe until 2008 when they lauched the pg era, then there might not have been such a big backlash against him from the adult fans. All those title matches he had, especially for the wwe championship, against the like of umaga and others, could have been for the us/ic titles.

This would have made Cena's rise to the top of the card more significant, and would have added some much needed weight to the midcard feuds. WWE still had Triple H, HBK, The Udertaker, Jericho and others to be in the main events. Imagine if the Cena-Edge feud from 2006 had been booked for the us title or the intercontinental title, it would have been amazing imo.


I think there was an element of too much too soon for Cena. He should never have gotten near Flair's record in the first place.

If he backed away from the title for a bit it would be fine, even when CM Punk has his 434 day reign, it didn't seem like Cena was away from the title long enough, he should be in Punks position now, going against midcarders or MEs in non title situations to strengthen the card as a whole.

Some people say HBK is the GOAT, but he is probably known more for his NON TITLE matches than his title matches, Cena is in title matches way too much.
