Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 24, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just now, Carbomb said: Ah, yeah - I guess that would make him WWE's Babe Ruth, rather than wrestling's in general. Cena's been with WWE proper for about 16 years, I think - debuted on the main roster roughly around 2003? That is what Vince called him in the tweet!Ā Cena debuted on Smackers in July 2002 against Angle. Got a brief mini-push that summer, droppped down the roster until he rapped at Halloween, got an attitude change and the F-U (named to annoy Lesnar in storyline, I think) just before Mania XIX (but only rapped on Heat on that show), and by summer 2003 was the full-on Doctor of Thuganomics.

Often forget to differentiate "WWE" and "wrestling", which shows just how successful McMahon's been. 23 minutes ago, HarmonicGenerator said: Cena debuted on Smackers in July 2002 against Angle.

Yeah, I remember the whole "Your finisher's the F5, well, mine's the F-U" rap. I knew he didn't get his first WWE title until WM21 against JBL, which was in 2005, and he got the US belt on the WMXX card.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 24, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Cena worked a Smackdown dark match in January 2001. (if you've never read them, daprice's Observer Rewinds are outstanding. Perfect work poo break stuff. Go demolish the back catalogue. And then your own back catalogue. )Ā Ā Edited April 24, 2019 by Onyx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocuous looking spot, ref trapped in the corner gets superkicked. Well done to all involved for what I assume was on the fly, Drake taking a heel kick bump to set up the reworked finish. Footage in spoilers if I can get it to embed. Ā Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
