Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 24, 2019 Awards Moderator 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! 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.

Yeah, 's what I was referring to in the last post - I realised that's what he was saying. 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.
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted April 24, 2019 Paid Members 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. ) Edited April 24, 2019 by Onyx2
Keith Houchen Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Babe Ruth played for the Yankees biggest rivals for 5 years, by rights Cena should’ve started in WCW.

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.

cobra_gordo Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Not sure if this has been posted in here before but just spent most of my lunch break scrolling through https://twitter.com/AEraSigns. Some absolute belters in there.
CL Punk Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) On Instagram, Vin Diesal revealed that he has cast another WWE star in Fast Nine...but I can't see who it is. Edited April 30, 2019 by CL Punk
Paid Members Statto Posted May 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 3, 2019 This account has tweeted a few lovely Mean Gene outtakes recently. I notice the location is given as UK, so it's probably one of you lot, isn't it? Also, #thread as the kids say.
