Tim Tebow is one of the most polarizing people in sports (if not the most) and he could find a kindred spirit in John Cena. I made the comparison between the two way back, but since Cena never changes his character and won't turn heel even though we're all begging for it, let's take a look once again.
And with Cena's name still a hot topic, thanks to his title shot with the Rock, we're going to find out just how similar he and Tebow are.
| Category | John Cena | Tim Tebow | Give it to ... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height: | 6-1 | 6-3 | Tebow |
| Weight: | 251 | 236 | Cena |
| Hails from: | West Newbury, Massachusetts | Makati City, Philippines | Tebow. What happened to the guys who were hailed from 'parts unknown?' |
| Current job: | Professional Wrestler | Quarterback (sorta) | Push |
| Overexposed? | Yes | Yes | Push |
| Any chance of it getting worse? | Of course. | You bet. | Push. And yes, I recognize articles like this are part of the problem. |
| Is he technically proficient at his sport? | No | No | Push. I'd say Cena is a little more proficient, but his flying shoulder block angers me more than it probably should. |
| Would he be a better fullback? | Probably | Yes | Cena |
| Was he ever punched in the mouth by Brock Lesnar? | Yes | Unknown | Tebow |
| Guy who took his job, or made him do the job: |  The Rock |
 Peyton Manning |
Cena |
| Does he defy all odds to win? | Yes | Yes | Push |
| Most prized individual title: |  Nine-time WWE champion. |
 Heisman Trophy winner. |
Cena. One's a fake, made-up title nobody takes seriously. The other is the WWE title. |
| Biggest competition: | The Rock | Mark Sanchez | Cena |
| Overbearing boss: | Vince McMahon | Rex Ryan | Push |
| Does he wear jorts? | Yes | Unknown | Push. Tebow did go to Florida, so we shouldn't be so quick to assume he doesn't wear jorts. |
| Bad haircut? | Yes | No | Tebow |
| Signature move copied by others: |  You can't see me |

Tebow |
| Most embarrassing toss: | Fans throw back his T-shirt on "RAW." | No way to narrow this down. | Cena |
| And never bring up: | "The Marine" | His playoff loss to the Patriots. | Cena. Nobody saw "The Marine." |
| Merchandise claim: |  "Rise Above Hate" T-shirt best seller for WWE. |
 His jersey was at one time the No. 2 seller for the NFL. |
Cena |
| Fan base: | Cenation | Tebowmaniacs | Nobody |
| Most of his fans are ... | Children | Children | Push |
| But his biggest fan is: | My wife | My wife | Not me. In fact, I've been sleeping on the couch since Wrestlemania. |
| Fan chant: | "Let's go Cena ... Cena sucks." | "We want Tebow ... Sanchez sucks." | Cena. I'm just imagining that's what Jets fans will be chanting. |
| Refuses to turn heel: | Yes | Yes | Push. Both handle their haters the same way, with a smile -- which makes them more hated. But come on, a heel turn for both would be epic! |
| Often derided for: | Dressing like a Fruity Pebble; being a good guy. | Being a good guy. | Tebow. I was going to make this a push, but Cena's new T-shirt looks too similar to Celtics' logo, so he's dinged here. |
| Guy you should be cheering for: | Daniel Bryan | Tebow | Tebow. Seriously, why don't you like this guy? |
| Musical taste: | Thuganomics | Singing hymns on the sidelines. | Tebow |
| Scandal: |  Kissed his best friend's girlfriend. |

Push |
| How New York fans feel about him: | MSG fans were among the first to turn on Cena. Can't wait to hear the boos at WrestleMania XXIX. | Cautiously optimistic. | Tebow |
And the winner? I knew it, they are the same guy. It's deadlocked at 9-9. Although, I still won't root for Cena.
If you remember The Rock from his days as a defensive tackle for the University of Miami (or if youâre a huge CFL fan), then youâll probably enjoy this Who tweeted it: RG3 or The Rock?
