2) John Cena – MS Dhoni

Both of these gentlemen are have been the torch-bearers of the respective industries for over a decade now. While John Cena shook the WWE arena with his cocky ‘thug-life’ gimmick in the early 2000s, MSD captured the attention of the Indian cricket-lover with his long hair and even longer sixes.

Who can forget the ‘Ruthless Aggression’ of Cena in his debut against the veteran Kurt Angle and the whirlwind debut century at Vishakapatnam in 2005 with the trademark ‘gun firing’ gesture by Dhoni.

However, 10 years since, both of them have turned into hugely polarizing figures. Cena is greeted by raucous resentment among most of the adult men in the WWE universe while Dhoni has his fair share of haters who believe he always gets lucky.

In any case, we are slowly seeing the mantle shifting to upcoming stalwarts like Seth Rollins and Virat Kohli through careful nurturing by both of these men. As Cena would say “Love or hate, you cannot debate” that these men deserve all the respect for their amazing work ethic and impeccable service to cricket/WWE.
