Hogan Cena
Hogan had the Train,say your prayers,eat your vitamins Cena the more street updated Hustle Loyatly Respect
Both targeted kids as their audience, neither turned heel *while in WWE* both are huge draws, people question their in ring abilities but never seem to have a bad match.
Not sure Hogan ever got the mixed reaction that Cena gets but that may be a generation thing.
Personally i think Cena is great. Sure not Kurt Angle in the ring, but he gets the crowds going one way or the other.
I'm not sure that any FACE has ever got this sustained mixed reaction.
Hogan was a trailblazer for people like Cena and in that respect i can see the similarities, but i think Hogan was loved by everyone, and therefore i think his job was easier than Cena's.
I've always thought that Cena probably had the hardest era to lead and has done extremley well from where i sit.
Orton/Austin - Don't see it. Sorry!
