Your favorite John Cena match

I'm big on his match at the 2007 Royal Rumble with Umaga. That was one damn good Wrestling match. There was blood, length, action, ring demolishment and overall entertainment. One of Cena's best matches, it's just a shame about the ending. I think they could have made it abit more satisfying, although I understand what they were going for when they 'choked out the monster'.
I also enjoyed his match at the 2008 Great American Bash with JBL. It was a more hardcore Cena match and I admired that about him back then, not just because of the time period and that there were more rating-based oppurtunites at having matches as hardcore as that, but because Cena knew how to pull it off. Hardcore or Core, Cena's good in his matches.
His match against Randy Orton at Breaking Point 2009 was a great match too. It showed that Cena was not only portrayed as unbreakable and that he wouldn't ever give up, but the fact that he could legitematally take a real harsh beating. How many guys would you see handcuffed to the ring post and take shots to the abdomen with a kendo stick without serious injury? That match was one of the best I've seen, along with the following Bragging Rights 2009 Ironman match. That match, despite it's length, was action-packed, fun to watch and entertaining. I can't recall seeing Cena put on a match like that.
In 2004, the best of 5 series he contended in with Booker T for the Undisputed United States championship was a clinic. That series had me anitcipating the next match, time after time. Truly a spectacle to bare witness to. I applaud Cena here. Nothing more than he deserves.
Lastly, my favourite John Cena match has to be the match with Randy Orton and Triple H at Wrestlemania 24. Despite his loss, that match was an incredible match. A true Wrestlemania moment, I might add. One of the best Wrestlemania matches I've seen, and I believe it was better than his previous Wrestlemania 20, 21, 22 and 23 matches. Alot of Cena's matches are great, some of them aren't, but the good deffenitly outweighs the bad when it comes to a straight up Cena match. He knows how to put on a clinic, and fight through injury.
John Cena deserves to be where he is right now.
