It has officially been ten years since John Cena made his WWE debut, as Cena's first televised match was on June 27, 2002.

Cena thanked his fans earlier today on his Twitter, writing, "Thank u everyone for this mornings well wishes. It truly means the world. #hustleloyaltyrespect"

WWE.com has published an interview with Cena at this link. During the interview, Cena was asked if he ever thought he would become such a role model for children.

"No, and that's the thing I'm most flattered by," Cena replied. "If you look at who I was four, six years ago, I was pretty racy. I was the king of 'pipe bombs' before 'pipe bombs' were invented. I consciously knew our product, I consciously saw our audience, and I made a decision that I'd live my life by a certain set of ideals, that I was just going forward in this direction. Whoever was with me was with me, and we'd go from there. It ended up being a good deal.

"I'm very flattered when I meet parents – whether it's Make-A-Wish or parents with their kids on the street – and they're like, 'Hey, thanks for letting us watch WWE. You're a very good role model. Just keep doing what you're doing.'"

Cena also revealed that he has Ric Flair's record of 16 world title reigns in his sights.

"I know the number 16 [Ric Flair's total of World Championship reigns] is put on a pedestal, and I'm quite a ways away from that. But that would be something to shoot for. And when or if 16 happens, or number 17 happens, then 20 becomes the number to shoot for. That's what I love about doing this."

I would like to thank him and wwe for killing my and a lot of other people's interest in the wwe by pandering to kids and being all goody goody on tv and for make a wish and humping anything that moves behind the scene. But eh, whatever. I had to stop wasting my time and not watching wrestling saves me 7 hours a week. So that is good.

Yeah I wish they could be more like Chikara......oh wait

it's hard to believe that 10 years just went by like that.

John Cena posted the following on Twitter about his 10th anniversary in WWE…

"Thank u everyone for this mornings well wishes. It truly means the world".

- WWE.com has an article up on Cena's anniversary, which you can read here. http://www.wwe.com/classics/cena-talks-10-years-at-wwe Here are some highlights…

On His Debut Against Angle: "Literally, I just needed to get through the curtain. I was in shambles that whole day. First, I was told I was going to have a match at 4:00 that afternoon. Then, I was told that I needed to get my hair cut, and I was sent offsite to get that done. I made it back just in time, and everyone was flipping their lid. Randy Orton had tied my boots to a locker in the Allstate Arena [laughs], and basically, I had a giant smile on my face when I got to go through the curtain … because I knew I could no longer be messed with [laughs]."

On His Evolution:"If you look at who I was four, six years ago, I was pretty racy. I was the king of "pipe bombs" before "pipe bombs" were invented. I consciously knew our product, I consciously saw our audience, and I made a decision that I'd live my life by a certain set of ideals, that I was just going forward in this direction. Whoever was with me was with me, and we'd go from there. It ended up being a good deal," he says. "I'm very flattered when I meet parents – whether it's Make-A-Wish or parents with their kids on the street – and they're like, "Hey, thanks for letting us watch WWE. You're a very good role model. Just keep doing what you're doing."

what was the stock market like in 2005?

and no idea what that has to do with Chikara and if your trying to argue that JOhn Cena has been bad for the WWE than your a fucking idoit

Anyone whos mad at someone whos done 300 make a wishes, cus they cant watch there favortie TV show anymore, is basically a peice of crap. Get over yourself, do something else for the 2 hours you used to watch Raw. This guy is spending his free time visiting children who are going to die. And all people can think about is boo hoo its not 1996 anymore. I don't see how anyone can watch Raw, and see the look on those kids eyes, and not have a ton of respect for John Cena and who he is and what he does. Hes out there making kids last moments enjoyable, and your on a message board bitching because you can't watch your fake fighting anymore. Get over it.

The Dow was 2000 points lower than where it is now.

So the Dow is up 19% and WWE is down 26%

I've always said that no matter what you think of his character on TV, the guy still busts his ass for that company. And hate the guy or not, kids ask for him and he shows up. Can't dis him for that.

Yeah Cena seems like a great guy unless you are trying to have a monogamous relationship with him. Two thumbs up in my book.

True that

Fair enough but be realistic, in 2005 WWE had a hell of a lot more going on, you had going back to USA, you had more star power, etc. 2008 to about now they've lost Batista, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Edge, and Chris Jericho. Thats a hell of a lot of star power. WWE has been rebuilding, but do I think WWE is not a healthy company? absolutely they are healthy its laughable to say differently. The stock market is not always a gage for how the business involved is doing

Anyone that's been in one company for that long of period should be given credit for their time there, especially in the WWE. There are many things that I can't stand about John Cena's character over the years, but he is a hard worker and does extraordinary charitable acts for fans. Congrats to Cena for lasting this long.

And to be completely realistic, the stock would most likely be even lower if they never had Cena.

I remember his debut like it was yesterday. No matter what you hear about him he is lives, bleeds and breaths WWE. Well done to him.

I liked him as the cocky heel, haven't liked him since. Nothing about that character is appealing. I'm seriously considering not watching RAW anymore because his presence ruins the show for me. I do like the new NXT so far though, so I'll at least keep watching that.

Why don't you get on your knees and suck him off then? As a fan of the wrestling, I could not care less about him fulfilling some sick kids wishes. Just like I don't care that he is banging everything that moves and cheating on his wife. I commented about how bad the overall state of the product is and he is one of the main reason for it because he has openly stated that he went to Vince and convinced him to change the product to pg to attract more kid viewership.

Again why is going toward kids a bad thing? TNA in 2010 proved the attitude era is dead you can say shit, bitch, bleed all over yourself, and show tits and ass, do all the crazy shit you want include run rape angles and no one will give a shit. This is the year 2012 not 1997. In 1997 there is a reason Jerry Springer was doing huge ratings because he was doing things we never saw before but in 2012 that shit doesn't fly with the rest of the Country. The public has moved on from shock tv, The reality is WWE is nowhere near as bad in terms of focusing on children as they were in the 80s, and quiet frankly if you need to see guys shorten their careers, and bleed all over themselves to enjoy wrestler you may want to seriously look in the mirrior

In the 80s, they didn't have television writers.... the talent pool was more experience and better at their craft... and the overall product was just better than today. The only comparison from that era to now is the emphasis on producing a product directed more to youngsters.

As for this shock tv nonsense, who here is mentioning bring that back?

_________________

I should suck him off because he grants kids with cancer there final wish? Is this really how you conduct yourself in life? Thats pretty pathetic.

Yeah that 80s product you love the mention how many of them survived? Let see....WWF and um....WWF and um well if you forget the fact JCP, AWA, WCCW, and the rest of the territories of any value killed themselves and you also forget that the only reason WCW was aroudn is because Turner kept it floating which outside of a 3 year period it was pretty much useless.

I have said before the WWE has always been a PG product except for a very limited ammount of time. Hogans run and im kinda guessing here. Was 1982 to what 1994? And when did Cenas era start like 2003-2004 to now? Before Hogan while the WWE wasnt on TV as much it was still smiling babyface Bob Backlund leading the show against evil doers of the day. And before that Bruno. Its always been the ultra goody guy vs the evil do'er. Shoot compared to Backlund(in his first run) Cena is a renegade. Backlund would shock the fans if he reared back for a closed fist!! I will say that during that time there was more blood, but there was no cursing, and no sexuality. It was pretty PG. So just averaging here and im sure someone will correct me 80-94 was 14 years of PG then 2002-2012 is PG. So people are fans of around 5 years of show thats been on for 30 years? Thats like liking the episodes of Mash were Klinger was the star, and saying your a mash fan

Cena being the soul focus would probably 2005-2006ish, I'd also say the Attitude Era really lasted from 1997 to about 2007 if your being fair. It peaked in 2002/2003 though and saw it go backwards afterwards. However your right a huge majority of WWE's product they were always PG and today they are probably less PG than back then its just magically people pretend like its not and I still haven't got an answer as to why PG effects the product in anyway

This is your post from another thread just from a few hours ago.



So in your bid to become a second rate cheap knock off of xt, you forgot something that you said just a few moments ago in another thread. Just because someone's opinion differed from yours, you called them a piece of crap. Is that how you life your life. Thats pretty pathetic. No one said anything about granting kids wishes. I gave my opinion that his and wwe's bs has really turned me off as a viewer and looking at the ratings, I am not alone. WWE portrays him as a goody two shows with his make a wish stuff, which is good for him. But with the new details coming on about how big a scum bag he is with his lying and cheating on his wife, would your opinion on him change? It should. I don't care either way. Cause like I said, I hate wrestling because of what it has been turned into. It is my opinion on the current state of wrestling and not his make a wish stuff and not him cheating on his wife cause we mostly discuss wrestling here. Fair enough?
