The Undertaker is wrestling since John Cena was a 10-year-old child. The ‘Deadman’ has wrestled the who’s who in the pro wrestling business. Despite his huge stature, The Undertaker was very agile in the ring, even in his last years as an active performer!

John Cena started with the WWE in 2002 and it was Biker Taker who gave young Cena a rub in a backstage segment. Cena is regarded as one of the safest workers inside the ring. He has consistently delivered classic matches, even in his movie schedule!

Analyzing their move set, delivery and its efficiency – The Undertaker is the better performer of the two. Why? The Undertaker’s arsenal has a plethora of moves, while John Cena has a very limited move set. Not that Cena doesn’t try new moves, remember the Sixth move of Doom? We neither.

Cena’s wrestling style is more power based than The Undertaker’s. The ‘Phenom‘ has everything from flying moves, mat wrestling, submission moves, and of course The Tombstone. Both are great wrestlers, but the ‘Deadman’ is in a league of his own.
