Which is impossible. I don’t care who you are, if you’re in sports or entertainment, you need stars. Stars are what draw. The NFL is nice, but without Patrick Maholmes or Tom Brady, they’d be in trouble. I love the NBA, but without LeBron, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, CP3 or Giannis, they wouldn’t be able to draw ratings or sell tickets. TV and web shows are like that-you need a name or a hot star that draws viewers. Wrestling is no different. That’s why you need someone like Austin, Rock, Ric Flair, Undertaker, or even John Cena-names draw in that business. Not brands. This isn’t clothing or men’s or women’s wear, it’s entertainment. If you don’t have stars, you won’t draw jack. WWE by itself will never draw like they would with big stars on the marquee. And that’s why they’re struggling now. The only ones on the main roster who have gotten any kind of outside exposure lately are Roman, Ronda Rousey (if she ever comes back) and Sasha Banks, and maybe Becky Lynch. But outside of that, mainstream viewers have no idea who these other people are. No stars, no viewers.

I think there’s a crucial element here that not talked about enough. Mic work. John Cena, The Rock, Austin all had great work on the mic that captivated the audience. When I was a kid, John Cena would literally inspire me and impress me with his weekly long tangents and verbal beat downs that only He could deliver. He the best on the mic since the rock and you just don’t see that passion and skill with the roster today. There are other ways you can become popular of course but look at CM Punk he was very close to that level because he had the mic skills and the wrestling ability. Everyone in the WWE today feels so bland IMO.

Imagine how big a star cena wouldve been if he had had proper feuds with stone cold, Goldberg, Rock, Sting or Hogan in the mid-2000s. He was left to start from scratch. If all the build that was given to Lesnar had been given to him, all of Orton, Punk, Edge and the rest would've been so much bigger because of him. No disrespect to the veterans that did put him over, but at that point, they were B+ players. And he still did a hell of a job!

But as far as Americans, the next US megastar is most likely HANGMAN PAGE , hes only 29 but is on the path to have a Austin esque breakout year in 2022.

Refreshing? Lol there's sooo many channels doing these type of videos. Good job getting noticed tho.

I first found out about John Cena in Smackdown vs Raw 2009, by late 2008 (I already knew about wrestling before getting this game because I had played other games and watched a match here and there). His high rating, realistic clothes, easy to remember name, great theme song and buff physique made him look really badass. Instant favorite. After that I would always buy WWE games, watch the NXT (only show available at that time), would start watching PPVs on the internet and learning about the past of the product. Issue is that it got repetitive and videos about the late 90s and early 2000s era made me feel like I was getting scammed for watching such a boring, safe, repetitive and shallow show, and John Cena was also a main reason for that. He started to represent everything I didn't like about wrestling. He was too OP, the storylines were boring and matches were predictable. Once I learned how wrestlers performed the moves, I got more critical of the product and could no longer waste my time watching wrestlers who didn't bother making the moves look real and somewhat violent (WWE is also guilty here). Anyway, yeah, John Cena is arguably the last megastar. He was easy to like and somewhat famous even among non-wrestling fans, then mid 2010s memes and movie appearances made him famous worldwide. You knew John Cena even if you didn't know WWE. Now he's even playing a memorable character in a great TV show called Peacemaker and had some blockbusters appearances too. Vince is really trying to make Roman Reigns have that appeal but it's not working. WWE just doesn't have the same power/influence anymore, maybe even if The Rock and Stone Cold were to debut today, WWE still wouldn't be able to create a megastar. I think it's just over for them... wrestling won't ever get as mainstream as it once was.

To be honest, i think WWE Universe dont deserve another JOHN CENA...... He carried the entire franchise for nearly two decades yet even his hometown people dont give the respect he deserve. Its a shame that we are even discussing this topic.

@Big Daddy Rikka Yes Roman scores better than John in some areas but he can't carry the WWE like Cena did. He just doesn't have the same appeal to a wide audience, does not have the same level of charisma and is not good on the mic. He's not terrible on the mic or cutting promos but the very best in the business and those that were the face of the company in the past were always so good in front of the camera. Nothing against Roman and I wish him well, but I don't think he has what it takes to pick up the baton from Cena and keep running.

I doubt it. WWE doesn’t make megastars anymore because they’re afraid of losing them to Hollywood and their writing makes it hard for people to get over to that level now.

Unpopular opinion, I don’t think wrestling can ever have another megastar. guys like Hulk Hogan, Rick Flair, Stone Cold, the Rock and Cena are already for the most part once in a generation; it takes a special mix of a bunch of different factors for somebody to breakout in that way. But the most important thing, even moreso than characterwork and persona-is Market. The fact of the matter is today’s world just won’t allow somebody to break out I. That way. There’s too much competition in other fields for your eyes. Even as far as combat sports the UFC has become far more individualistic and Star driven. Not to mention stream shows and videogames which have essentially killed cable as a whole. I think even if the Rock and Stone Cold were in their prime, wrestling wouldn’t be as big as it once was. It’s sad, but I think it’s the truth. Hopefully they’ll prove me wrong, I can’t imagine a world where WWE doesn’t exist. Even if I don’t watch it anymore

Off topic a lil but this video made me realize that Cena and Orton feels just like The Rock and Stone Cold and Batista and Brock Lesnar. One face, one heel that were the biggest people in the company. One goes off to pursue mainstream success through movies, the other dedicates their life to the business. I think Roman and Cody will be the next ones to keep this trend with Roman going off to pursue movies. Or maybe I'm looking too deep into it lmao.

Your videos are always on point but this one is the one right here! It’s honestly a sad indication of where the business is headed. It took Roman this long to get where he’s at…but who knows how long he’ll stay there? WWE can’t rely on the past forever. Even though Cena is my all-time favorite (I was one of those Ruthless Aggression Era kids you mentioned), he should NOT be the last megastar. Only time will tell what happens next

A lot of my friends at school don't watch wrestling but they only know 3 wrestlers: - John Cena - Randy Orton - Roman Reigns So, John cannot be wrestling's final megastar, but however he's without any doubt the biggest megastar

I think its gonna be harder for any wrestler to be a megastar in today's generation as there's more entertainment / distractions and this shows in lower viewing figures as mentioned in the vid.

Not only was John Cena the face of the RA Era and the PG Era, he was one of the only 4 men known in the Reality TV Era. On the show Total Divas, while the women's division became popular, he was the main man being pushed, next being Daniel Bryan, the Usos, and the Miz.

This situation kinda reminds me of Lex Luger trying to become the next Hulk Hogan but never being able to fill those same boots. Roman has been sent to fill in Cena's position but it's just not working as intended.

It’s really sad to see the hate he gets now because of that whole mishap with China. He’s done so much damn good in this world that the minute he made a mistake, people want him off the face of the earth. One of the truly good people in this world and my Goat of pro wrestling.

I'd say yes, cena is the last megastar but not the last megastar in the history of pro wrestling. Wwe built cena organically that's why he was so popular in his 6th year but for roman, he was being booed partly because of cena. Cena left wwe but cena v2 was still there. Roman was green but wwe was too hasty to put roman in cena's shoes. Roman finally got his character after 6 years and let's not forget that it's still thunderdome era. The Head of the Table is yet to have any big fued in front of the crowd. Imo Roman has potential to be a bigger star in Hollywood than cena. Logically speaking Roman will be the last megastar because wrestling is dying and the next generation won't have legends like hhh, taker, cena, lesnar, rock to compete with them in the ring.

Yes, John Cena is the wrestling’s last big megastar. He got me, and a lot of other people into wrestling. My mom, who isn’t even a wrestling fan (and I doubt she ever was), knew who he was back in the early 00’s.

John Cena may possibly be WWE’s last mega star to be honest. There is no one today who’s fresh and new that could align with John Cena’s presence and popularity. There will never be another poster boy for WWE, that can compare to John Cena. The pro-wrestling audience and our world has changed drastically, to the point where it’s kinda hard getting someone over to a high level due to critics. The way John Cena got over will never be duplicated, especially since he got over in a different era, the Ruthless Aggression Era. Like what most people are saying here, Roman Reigns is close but not that close to Cena’s caliber.

Theres no mega-megastar after Cena sorry to say

You were spot on with feuds and the talents. Also you have to acknowledge the fact that WWE never actually cared about what fans want and the creative direction sucked from 2016. people were more exposed to the "competition" due to the social media also AEW is also hitting it out of the park with the talents that were never pushed by WWE. Sure AEW has some drawbacks but you have to pull the trigger when a talent got over with audience. Which WWE miserably failed to do so but AEW pulls the trigger when needed.

John Cena is an example of a superstar with a, at the time, legendary status. From character development, beloved gimmicks, memorable moments, to all-time best world champion of this generation. I do believe there will be another version of John Cena eventually, but there's no one in WWE right now that can step up to his level

when I started watching WWE in 2011, Cena became my favourite instantly. I stopped watching WWE somewhere around 2016. I still think he is the biggest star WWE could ever produce, to the point that he IS WWE. I watch it sometimes only when he comes back.

John is special. He always knew how to rile up the wwe universe no matter who he was wrestling against.

To be fair, yes he’s a top guy but not a top guy on John Cena’s level. Randy’s one of my favorites and he’s one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. But if you’re gonna make that argument then you’d have to add Brock Lesnar too since he’s a top guy as well. Now my comment connects to *SuperkickStudios* previous video on how under-appreciated Brock Lesnar is. WWE will never have a guy like Brock Lesnar again, just like how they’ll never have a guy as popular as John Cena. If they do, it’ll take a long time to come into play.

Randy orton can be considered as a megastar i guess due to his star power and almost everyone knows him...but his name is not mentioned because he don't do movies and he wants to remain as a wrestler and he himself doesn't care about his popularity nowdays

"It's just the cycle of how things go, especially in pro-wrestling." That line alone ensures there will be another Megastar. I was young, and now I'm not so young lol. And I remember when Vince thought guys like Hellwig and Macgee would replace Hogan. I remember when the Monday Night Wars began, and the "F" needed new blood to bring life back to the company. Dunno if it's gonna AEW or some other catastrophic occurrence, but there will be another mega star.

That’s a great point is the viewership over time. Even the rock and stone cold we’re getting bland, and then the new guys came in and picked it back up in 2004, but the product was already set in motion.

The only way I think that we can get a new megastar or making Roman have the same popularity as Cena (which is possibly impossible) is by changing era cause if we look in the past most of the megastar defined a era and we still in the PG era that's why everybody thinks of Cena when they hear WWE

Love or hate Cena as a wrestler you cannot dislike him as a human being. This guy has granted over 650 wishes via the make a wish foundation. You must respect that effort no matter what.

(coming from someone who hasn't watched wrestling since 2013) I think the only problem is that Reigns needs rivals who are also big/loved in the community. Roman can't grow alone. Like you said earlier, John Cena had people like Randy Orton, CM Punk, Batista, and much more. WWE needs to build up more of the stars so that they can shine together.

I watched each and every show of wwe from 2003 to 2013-14... after that it was a part time for me... in last 4 years it has been only Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania... last week durin MITB i realized I'm not even subscribed to a channel which shows wwe here in india... i just heard about comeback of john cena in MITB... and damn i watched a whole wwe event after a long long time... i never realized how big fan i am of John Cena...

The main difference between John Cena and Roman Reigns is that Cena drew to the fans organically while Roman just got shoved down our throat‘s forcefully which was a recipe for disaster. Plus Cena had charisma and a good character which Roman didn’t have at all.

Stop the nonsense hell Roman lost more then he won during that time especially when it came to that title picture. Like (OTRS CENTRAL) said on their channel if anything during that time seth was shoved more then Roman yea we all viewed Roman as the bigger star because of presentation. However Seth was the one who won everything during that time from the MITB to 8 1/2 month title reign. Up until his injury but during that time Roman was most beating midcarders and the occasional main eventers. Just to stay in that picture and when he finally got back into the picture with the whole Sheamus situation. Fans were being hypocrites then because they started cheering Roman over Sheamus. But that was short lived until Triple H got in the Picture. Which in theory it sounded like a good idea but with today’s fan it wouldn’t work. Fan’s didn’t stop their BS until it came out that he had leukemia. And even some fans were still jackass’s to him. It’s just fuckin weird. Not to mention that you have all of the Wrestling social media influencers with large KZread channels and other platforms constantly burying the guy to because he didn’t fit a Certain Indy narrative.

There are no other current wrestler in the world much more recognizable than him. I was never his fan as a kid but after a few years, I just realized he carried WWE and he did it brilliantly.

It's nice to see a more reasonable take than just saying WWE should go back to the ruthless aggression era and that it's 100% their fault that it's not as popular as it used to be Only thing I can hope for WWE is that they can somehow claw their way back to the top and become as popular as they used to
