Genuinely curious to how old you are. 

That's absolutely not a criticism or piss-taking. That just means something very different for a 14-year-old to a 25-year-old.

No I get you, I’ve recently turned 33 so would’ve been 17 back in 2005 when Cena was rising to prominence. Maybe it says more about me and my mates being so uncool but he was the only wrestler they always asked me about, it was around the time his CD came out, and whilst I didn’t personally like it, the fact it was a rap CD drew them in and even the hand gesture was used a few times. I dunno, I think he was fairly decent around this time, but that was just the vibe from the few non wrestling fans I knew and talked too.

No fucking way any non wrestling fans in 2005 ever in a million years thought John Cena was cool. No chance.

You're confusing popularity with coolness.

Are they not linked somewhat? Not always of course but generally if you’re really into someone and like them a lot, especially a genre you otherwise have no interest in, then you generally think they’re cool to like them.

I’ve never been the coolest cat myself and neither were said mates so like I say it probably says more about us but Cena was the man back then.

The minute I hit puberty around 98 I grew my sideburns just like The Rock - that's how cool he, and subsequently I, was.

I think Summer 1999 Rock is peak.

Ah yeah, sideburns and trackies Rock was the coolest fucker ever. Far cry from the shit John Cena version of the last several years.

Has Ernest "The Cat" Miller been mentioned yet?

Some things go without saying.

He lost cool points in my school for wearing 2 stripe Aribas from the market.

[Cannibal Man]

yeah the grandad trackies knocked the Rock down a few points here too, still comes up sometimes.

[Max Power]

That knocked him up a Cool Point. The fact that he sported the two stripes and still looked cool.

Although having Samoan Man Tits probably cancelled it out.

Sod that. My definition of cool doesn't stretch nearly far enough to include "Make A Difference Fatu playing dominoes with Henry Godwinn".

You would literally give a limb to be in that crew & you know it

[FlushFunk]

Rick Rude was cool as they come and I still think had the best body in the business bar none & of course Mr Perfect. Can you get cooler than the chewing gum swat & the towel throw/catch with Heenan?

Warlord could have been all sorts of bad ass cool too. How he never became a mega heal I’ll never know, oh yeah the steroid trial wasn’t it?

Think we’ll all forgetting Johnny B.Badd & 2 Cold Scorpio as well

That and having the charisma of an empty cardboard box that's been left out in the rain for a day.

How's this thread gone 7 pages and no one has mentioned Johnny Swinger?

Seriously though, at least outside the ring, Edge is a damn cool guy otherwise its blatantly Big Kev and Batista

Fair point actually. That sliding Peoples Elbow scored over 40 mega-fonzies on the cool-o-meter.
