And I mean that as a compliment.
The brightly coloured hats, the t-shirt, the shorts..he was on a clip of some other show and he just didn't look like a real person. This larger than life but relatable character standing there taking photos with kids and doing "You Can't See Me" hand gestures, he's the closest thing to an actual super hero character since Hogan. It's easy to see why kids love him, and continue to love him despite it being "cool" not to.
It's something they need more of, really.

He looks like Donkey Kong, kinda. Short legs, big chest and legs, ape face. All he needs is a haircut and necktie.

I never got the appeal of a wrestler looking/acting like a real world athlete. With something as theatrical and lowbrow as wrestling, shouldn't the default look or essence of most of them be something out of a Saturday morning cartoon?

He should have a cartoon.
It would follow 80's rules and have his nemesis almost never get even the slightest bit of a leg up on him.
Who would his Skeletor be anyways? Would they go with a legion of doom style council of wrestling heels approach or just have a single inverse Cena that follows the principles of laziness, disloyalty and disrespect?

If we follow Rockin' Wrestling Rules it would be a contingent of random heels... and there would be a group of faces that hang around him... |

My only addendum would be that we get a Starscream type character that flip flops over the course of the program. ADR maybe? We already know John has the cheese to deliver quality 80's cartoon hero lines. |

So we calling Hanna Barbera on this? |

Yeah, Big show makes more sense I don't see how we'd be able to explain Monster Kane randomly being a good guy ... Someone should... but I'm at work an lazy... |

He acts like a cartoon character too, so I think it fits.

Certainly saw it when both John Cena and Hulk Hogan were in the ring at the same time. Honestly, it suits him well.
WWE needs some colorful individuals or stuff can get generic like the mid-2000s were.

Hogan and Cena are both larger than life cartoon characters, but Cena has a lack of consistency that Hogan didn't have
You knew what Hogan stood for. What does Cena stand for? Nothing except Vince's increasing fickleness.
The only major exception in Hogan's initial WWE run was the Royal Rumble 1992 where he just came across as a bad loser.

He looks like a caveman to me. A neanderthal looking lug who if put 2 and 2 together would get 3.

Would they go with a legion of doom style council of wrestling heels approach or just have a single inverse Cena that follows the principles of laziness, disloyalty and disrespect? I am going to base this off of today's WWE. HHH would be the evil overlord but he should be more a behind the scenes person. Orton makes sense as main villain who they fight most of the series but who joins them at the end even though he is still as evil and sadistic as before now he just uses it for good. Batista and ADR should be the other top henchmen with the Wyatts as another perhaps more evil force than HHH. The Shield work as the top henchmen who get things done with Rybackaxel as the top henchmen who never seem to win despite some great fights by Ryback. Christan rounds them off as a guy who exists solely to show off how bad ass the good guys are. Cena is the lead, Sheamus works as his badass best friend who takes no gruff from anyone. Daniel Bryan is the guy who gets things done Show is great as they guy who really works for HHH. The Rhodes Brothers work as guys who the top three need to save at times and Miz can be the guy the bad guys beat up to show off how badass they are. I think this show would work. |

I just saw him as a cartoon character in that Scooby Doo movie last night.

I prefer him looking like a neanderthal in those many freeze action pics of his.
