‘It’s unfair’, former WWE superstar Ken Shamrock contradicts John Cena calling Roman Reigns ‘The GOAT’

Former WWE superstar Ken Shamrock could not agree with John Cena hailing Roman Reigns as the greatest of all time in pro wrestling.

New Delhi: We all know that WWE is one of the most successful wrestling brands in the world and there are many fights which reflect the WWE wrestlers’ future. Former WWE superstar Ken Shamrock could not agree with John Cena hailing Roman Reigns as the greatest of all time in pro wrestling. Cena, who has worked with Reigns for many years, expressed his admiration for the OG Tribal Chief on several occasions. He echoed the same sentiment during a recent chat with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay-Shay.

Ken Shamrock feels Roman Reigns is not the only WWE legend who deserves the “GOAT” stature. The ex-UFC star shared his thoughts about John Cena’s words. According to Shamrock, it’s “unfair” to brand Reigns as the GOAT despite his illustrious WWE career spanning over a decade. “I think it’s unfair. I just… how do you measure that? I just think there are so many great wrestlers,” he said on VLAD TV, as quoted by Sportskeeda.

The former wrestler Ken Shamrock also mentioned the names of some other WWE legends and even included John Cena in his list. “I would be able to Rock up there, no question, yeah, absolutely no question. I would put John Cena up there. I mean… I would put Shawn Michaels up there. I mean, there’s so many guys that you could put up there and make a great argument,” the 60-year-old added.

Talking about the modern wrestling era, then there is no doubt that Reigns has become a role model for wrestling fans of the modern era. His appearance in the recent Premier Live Events (PLEs) has helped WWE boost its business. The former Bloodline chief faced off against John Cena several times and emerged victorious on most of those occasions. The last encounter came at the 2021 edition of SummerSlam where Reigns successfully defended the WWE Universal title against Cena.

Roman Reigns recently responded to Cena’s comment while speaking at Bloomberg Power Players of New York. He said, “I wish I could say, ‘I’m Taylor Swift out there,’ but we have a great team. I have a Wiseman. Business has been really good. It’s one of those weird situations.” The 2015 Royal Rumble winner added,
