WWE/Pro Wrestling Noah
John Cena has been WWE’s biggest star for over a decade, and he has done more for the company in terms of promoting the brand than anyone else. In fact, his contributions to WWE have been so profound that he’s now being billed as a ‘legend’ by the commentators.
Over the years, Cena has been compared to other wrestlers who have come before him, including Hogan, Austin, the Rock, and Brock Lesnar. However, there’s one person with whom John Cena shares surprisingly many attributes, and he’s someone that has been in the very spot that Cena has held for years now.
That man is Mitsuharu Misawa.
Misawa is what you’d get when you take Shawn Michaels’ wrestling ability and combine it with Cena’s popularity, Foley’s incredible tolerance for pain, and the Undertaker’s respect and reverence by his peers and fans.

Pro Wrestling Noah was formed by the legendary Mitsuharu Misawa in 2000, following a series of disagreements with Motoko Baba, Giant Baba’s widow and All Japan Pro Wrestling majority shareholder. Misawa, being one of the most respected and well-liked Japanese wrestlers ever, opened Noah alongside all of Ajpw’s talent and staff except for three wrestlers and one referee.
He also managed to get Ntv, the channel that hosted All Japan’s wrestling program, to go with him as well and to showcase Noah events instead of All Japan events. Noah’s peak years were its first six. From 2000 to 2006, Noah was arguably the best promotion in Japan, and filled the role that All Japan had in the 1990s as the promotion that showcased the best wrestling matches.
Some of the matches seen in Noah are truly amazing. You have the continuation of classic All Japan feuds in a new promotion,...

Here is a list of 15 of those wrestlers, tag teams, or factions that deserve to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Keep in mind that this list has been compiled according to WWE’s criteria for what constitutes a deserving addition to an “elite” group that includes Koko B. Ware but not Frank Gotch. There are going to be a lot of names not included that many will feel are more deserving of inclusion, and they should check out the list of the Professional Wrestling Hall of Famers or the Wrestling Observer Hall of Famers.
Here is the extensive criteria for those who will not make this list.

As reported on WWE.com after Raw, it was announced that John Cena had surgery to remove bone chips in his elbow. The recovery time that was given after this was four to six weeks, which would have taken up almost all build to the next PPV, Hell in a Cell. The result would be Cena having to work a less physically intensive program up towards the PPV. That was until the WWE would then release another statement, claiming Cena’s injury would take 2-3 weeks to recover instead, leaving him plenty time to get back for the inevitable match with Cm Punk in 5 weeks time. In the last of the series of statements released, they reconfirmed the 6 to 8 weeks of recover again for Cena. Plenty of conflicting reports on the matter.
Cena’s reduced recovery time does have similarities with the previous 2 times he’s been injured. In October 2007, during a match with Mr.
