Which do you think was the better champion, John Cena or JBL?

Question

I know, to some of you it may be like picking between the electric chair and a firing squad, but I just wanted an honest answer.

Answer 1

JBL,HE WAS MORE CONTROVERSIAL.

Answer 2

John Cena for sure. JBL was Just a Big Looser. He was a coward. After the end of APA he just turned into a big coward from a furious compatitor. But things are different with John Cena. Fake or real,i don't know about that but he has taken on almost everybody in wwe in the last 4 years. He is interesting. He respects the crowd unlike JBL & he respects his opponents also that too is unlike JBL. John Cena & JBL are the two opposite turns of a coin. There is no comparison between them. Cena is far better than JBL

Answer 3

Definitely JBL, for me one of the main things I look for in a world champion is that they spent a long time as a mid-carder first (working their way up) like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Edge, Christian, etc.

Bradshaw had been around forever. He had been fighting since 1992, capturing the European Title, Hardcore Title, and Tag Team Titles a number of times before becoming a world champ.

Cena just came in beat a guy with a broken shoulder to win the US title, then cheated against Kurt Angle to become # 1 contender for the WWE title.

In my opinion it's no contest: JBL is the better champ.

Answer 4

JBL because he was the good WWE Champion. He was also better as the tag team partner of Faarooq (Ric Simmons) . I want to see them as the tag team of "APA Protection" once again. I like his quote when he was appeared as the champion in the ring and always said in his promo " I guarantee you , I guarantee you that at (PPV name e.g No mercy), I will be victorious" .

When he lost at wrestlemania 21 against John Cena, I felt really bad because he deserves that WWE championship better than Cena because JBL's promo were always entertaining.

Answer 5

John cena

Answer 6

Looking back at their successful title defenses, most of JBL's were very believable, but the same can be said for John Cena's.

To me, the difference is whose unbelievable title defenses were closer to the realm of reality. JBL's defense against Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, and Undertaker was a Fatal 4-Way (first pinfall or submission wins), not a 4-Man Elimination match (everyone stays in the match until pinned or forced to submit, and the man who remains unbeaten in the course of the match wins), so all JBL had to do was cover one adversary for 3 seconds (thanks to Heidenreich's interference, JBL had his opening). Meanwhile, Cena's least-believable defense was against The Great Khali at One Night Stand. What WWE wanted us to believe is well-documented, but how can any 240-pound athlete wear down a 420-pound athlete enough to be able to lift said 420-pounder for an F-U, then have enough energy for an immediate cover to collect the win?

Since I can't (or refuse to, since I am a Great Khali fan) believe the events of One Night Stand, I have no choice but to consider JBL the better champion.

Answer 7

Dude, JBL is a Wrestling God- just ask him. Though his reign may have been somewhat too lengthy, don't ever blaspheme his name again. Cena's reign is the worst we've had in at least fifteen years, in all seriousness.

Answer 8

JBL all the way ,at that time he saved smack down from being cancelled because he has a natural heel feel and the fans would tune in to see him lose the title ,great feuds.

Answer 9

John Cena,

Way ahead of JBL.

Answer 10

JBL. At least with JBL you could have some fun watching him. With Cena I could care less if he wrestles.

Answer 11

Cena, JBL had went through to many bad gimmicks, was getting old, and his finisher was a clothesline.
A CLOTHESLINE
and you talk about your overcoming the odds unrealistically JBL beat Eddie and The Undertaker repeatedly, now that my friend is overcoming the odds, and thats the bottom line, because Cena is the better champ
