Not sure how true this is, but something interesting to think about.

Hopefully, it will be his LAST PPV main event.

That's not an interesting fact at all.

If there's anything I dislike more than John Cena it's John Cena stats.

That's what happens when you main event for over a decade and have no other real outlets outside of wrestling.
With the exception of Sting and Undertaker, who went through different incarnations as main eventers and also took long hiatuses from wrestling, the other 3 became incredibly stale when they were booked on top for a consistent period of time without and real breaks. Hell, Sting and Taker at least give credit that they've been going for over 20 years. Cena and Orton are at a decade. And while Triple H has winded down, he still went well over a decade with a lot of it being just intolerable.

 INSANE stat! I know they tend to do more than 12 PPV's a year but that's almost eight years worth of PPV main events! Shows one of the major problems with the WWE that Cena has 100 and Orton has 76! The two of them have had far too many! |

Those stats, man...
I love Randy Orton and all, but the fact that he has amassed more PPV main events in fourteen years and one company than Sting has in over twenty years and five companies doesn't make sense. Complacency is a motherf***er.

Complacency is a motherf***er. Randy Orton hasn't been maim eventing for 14 years and Sting didn't work for 5 companies that ran PPVs to my knowledge. Crockett, WCW, and TNA. Unless he main evented that company that was between WCW and TNA tgat Henning main evented a time or two. |

I'm legit surprised it's so high. I would've guessed 60-70.
EDIT: on a really quick check, I've got his first PPV main event as the I Quit brawl vs JBL at Judgement Day on May 2005. Anyone got an earlier date? He was eliminated at the Rumble '05 but if you're counting that then that's a big bunch of guys 'main eventing' each year.
If JD '05 is the first one, that's about 9 and a half years between that and HIAC '14.
9 and a half years, 100 PPV mains. Doable? Still seems high to me.

If you count main events to solely be the last match on the card and don't include Rumbles, Cena has main evented 62 PPVs. If you include Royal Rumbles in that tally, you can count 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2011. Cena was in the 2013 Royal Rumble but that show was main evented by Punk vs. Rock. Even then, that only brings the total up to 68.
If you then include Cena world title matches that didn't go on last, you then get an additional 31 which does bring the total up to 99. However, this includes Cena's Elimination Chamber from New Year's Revolution 2006 as the main event of that show technically counts as Cena vs. Edge. It also includes Cena's Elimination Chamber from 2010 and the follow up match with Batista on the same show.
Basically, whatever way you look at it, Cena hasn't closed out the show 100 times.

It's crazy. Hogan was the face of the company for almost as long and he had a tiny fraction of that amount of PPV time (and probably an even smaller fraction of TV time). That's such an obnoxious amount of exposure.

Okay, when you put it like that, the numbers don't sound so insane. Still pretty high, though. |

OK kids here is a math problem for you. John Cenas main events equals 99 and if he goes does one more he will be at an even 100. Now heres the problem.
M = Number of main events Cena was in.
C = Number of main events where he was the challenger.
T = Number of main events where he won the title/major win.
D = Number of main events where he defended the title.
L = Number of main events where he lost.
M ÷ D - L + T · C
Yeah you hate Cena now kids? Making you have to do math to figure this out huh. God now he really needs to get pushed down the card and bring up new main eventers

Thanks for looking into this. That definitely sounds more in line. I think you're right about the two additional counts and how they came to 99, which personally I wouldn't do. I don't count Rumbles because otherwise that would mean guys like Scotty 2 Hotty or Maven or Headbanger Mosh main evented, so...no. And I don't count world title matches down the card because, c'mon, that's just a bit silly. Main event is what goes on last. Rock-Hogan was the most memorable match at WMX-8, but HHH-Jericho was still the main event slot. |

That's actually pretty sad. Um. Why? The guy who was the top guy for the longest time in history, during the most over-exposed time in the business's history, has the most headline slots. Doesn't that make perfect sense? |
