"Most successful WWE Superstar of all time" - Wrestling Legend on John Cena's legacy

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has opined that John Cena is the most successful superstar in the history of the company.

The Cenation Leader has had a very decorated wrestling career, as he's a record-tying 16-time world champion. He has headlined numerous events, including WrestleMania, multiple times. His debut match in WWE was against The Olympic Gold Medalist in 2002.

During a recent interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Kurt Angle was asked what he thinks John Cena's legacy is going to be. He stated that he doesn't think Cena is the greatest of all time, but he accomplished what no one else has ever done in WWE.

"The most successful WWE Superstar of all time. He has won 16 world titles, and they are all WWE world titles. Nobody else has done that. John was able to accomplish that. I wouldn’t say he is the greatest wrestler of all time. There are a lot of great technicians. John was the most successful," - said Angle. [H/T TVInsider]

The WWE Universe was first introduced to Cena on the June 27, 2002, episode of SmackDown during a segment with The Olympic Gold Medalist. He uttered the famous words "Ruthless Aggression" before striking Angle in the face.

Kurt Angle spoke about getting to know the 16-time world champion over the years following their encounter.
