Back around Survivor Series, we booked how the main-event would turn out, and fun was had by all. Now, let’s  test out your best fantasy booking skills on a match between John Cena and Hulk Hogan. To keep things a bit more even both guys are in their prime. So, yes, Hogan can perform a leg drop without catastrophic effects.

I’ll start things off...

Power: Hogan - While Cena has been given more opportunity to show off his strength, I will go with Hogan. His larger frame will help neutralize Cena. Hogan body slammed Andre the Giant!

Agility: Cena - He is not exactly quick as a cat but compared to Hogan, he’s The Flash. Also, on rare occasions has the ability to fly, which could be useful in getting Hogan off his feet.

Intelligence: Cena – Granted they are from two different eras, Cena has been able to use his environment much more effectively in matches.

Finishing Ability: Hogan – No one gets up from the leg drop.

Heart: Cena - Hogan has gone up against some evil men, but Cena’s battles have been much more vicious.

Winning 3-2, Cena would get the victory thanks to his ability to maneuver around Hogan’s power, and outlast the incredible onslaught, that is Hulkamania.
