Arn Anderson Talks Why John Cena Was On Top Of WWE For So Long

John Cena was a very divisive face of WWE for a very long time. He was essentially the most heavily pushed guy on the roster for a decade. That is longer than Steve Austin or The Rock. From 2005 until around 2014, Cena was the man.

Now, long-time WWE producer Arn Anderson has discussed why Cena was on top for so long. On the latest edition of ARN, Anderson goes into detail about what an accomplishment it was and what went into that success. Here is the quote, courtesy of Wrestling News:

“I think he does get credit and it pisses a lot of people off to admit it. A lot of them are there to see John and his opponent. God knows the kids are there. One thing that is crystal clear is that in an era that this is an adult male sport, the kids will still come out to see somebody that is their hero and John is definitely that guy. That’s for sure. It is incredible that for 10 years, he can sit atop a company that has that many stars and runs that many shows.

10 years is a hell of a run consecutively. A couple of things that play into that is John is very dependable. John never missed a match or a house show. He is durable. He never got hurt very often. If you bought a ticket to see John, you didn’t get there and say he was injured at RAW so we are going to make a proper change to the card. You didn’t have any of that and that means a lot to the fans.”

Anderson was dismissed from WWE in 2019 and now finds himself as the coach of the Nightmare Family in AEW.

John Cena continues to make sporadic WWE appearances, while he has primarily shifted his focus to his work in Hollywood.
