What was John Cena's best match?

Cena at his best is a mediocre wrestler, with a mediocre moveset and terrible executions to his moves. Him and "good" doesn't fit in the same sentence. Cena has never had a great match without a five star opponent.

I know that his haters says things like Cena is the worst wrestler ever, can't wrestle and etc. In a way they are underrating his ability. But at the same time, people who defend Cena (maybe to go against the grain?) goes the other way and overrate him by giving him credit to the good matches he has had.

From what I see, for Cena, if his opponent is a great wrestler like a CM Punk, Shawn Michaels or Jericho he can help to make the match good. Because while the opponent do most of the work, Cena can keep up and contribute on his part as well. But if you put Cena against another mediocre wrestler like The Miz, JBL or Ryback the match isn't going to be very good unless you add a hardcore stipulation to it. Also, this is my opinion but I think his matches with The Rock are awful as well, because The Rock was away from the ring for a long time and Cena had to do more work. To sum it up, while he needs to be carried to make a good match he certainly contributes to it as well and is not like the broomstick his haters describes. But he can never be the one who got to carry the match because his ability is limited.

I see this thread as a way to stick it up to the haters but that's just my two cents. But yeah, I certainly don't want to go off topic and turn this into a giant Cena argument.
