We are just hours away from WWE's latest pay-per-view, Hell In A Cell. As things are about to kick off for WWE, there tons of questions being asked around by fans, but the main question is "What the future holds for WWE?"
We've seen a lot of superstars come and go. Those who were once on top of the WWE mountain, they find themselves right back at where they started. Why? The answer is simple. Complacency. I've read numerous reports that the new superstars take things for granted. When you've been given the opportunity to shine, take it with your both hands.
I've been fortunate enough to witness how WWE started, moved on to the Attitude era (my personal favourite time) and launched to an even greater height with the current PG era. Yes, the PG era has its ups and downs but I personally believe that it opened a lot of doors not just to WWE, but also to a whole lot of wrestlers.
We've seen those huge, mass muscled men, who basically can kick anyone's ass at any time been given a lot of push. But what about the so called the "little guys"? WWE has made the right choice by giving the so called "little guys" a lot of push and on the other hand, opened the gates for WWE to tap into a lot of other opportunities.
Skeptical fans asks all this question all the time "Why does it always have to be John Cena?" In a recent interview with current WWE superstar, Dolph Ziggler, he had this to say : "He's been someone that I've looked up to, but also hated for the last five years, because he is the face, he is the franchise of the WWE. And there's been guys that have become World Champion and WWE Champion who are still second fiddle to what John Cena and whatever he has going on in his life. So this guy is the guy to be in the ring with. This is the guy to go toe to toe on the mic with. This is the guy to be in the matches with that you will be in the main event. And instead of everyone going 'Hey you had a great match. You should have been in the main event' people will be telling me 'Hey, it was a great match. There's a reason why you're in the main event out there with John Cena, because you do what you do better than everyone else." I have to admit, I am a Cena fan, but I do give credit where it's due and also critic when I feel I should. This is a guy who always comes to work first and leaves the last (as it was said by many superstars on numerous occasions). This is a guy whose work ethics can never be questioned. This is the guy that Stone Cold Steve Austin passed the Attitude era torch to (actually, he passed his signature beer on his Hall of Fame induction ceremony). Cena's been in WWE for 10 years or more now. He's one of the old guards now along with Undertaker, Kane, Big Show etc. You may also wonder why are these old guards are getting all the attention compared to the new and upcoming superstars? The answer is simple. Hard work.
As WWE heads to the future, current crop of superstars have a long way to go before they can be considered as legends. And to the WWE fans or now called WWE Universe, do continue to give the support. I believe WWE will take us all to another road of great wrestling matches and great tv.
