I'm a podcast listener so I couldn't see what he looked like but he sounded like was having fun and opened up. He wax clearly localising some of his excitement because he's a pro and he's in the UK but I thought he was genuinely excited about a lot of stuff. Wouldn’t be the first time Quote
BrodyGraham Posted October 15 Posted October 15 There's a really weird false earnestness to Cena that I find really off-putting. It's the practiced warmth, filtered through High Performance talk. If Jimmy Stewart was on LinkedIn, he'd be John Cena. Quote

I can't bring myself to watch most of his media appearances because he comes across as so insincere, as if every answer has been workshopped to death to produce the most profound response to even the most basic questions.

Chili Posted October 16 Posted October 16 (edited) Again, you watch the Make-A-Wish stuff he does and you absolutely love the bloke. Because it's there where he's obviously not this fucking bizarre robot. He's aware how important and looked up too by kids he is, and he's perfect with them. To treat this as just a thing you'd do and not be emotionally swept up in that, you would have to be a psychopath, or able to compartment that aspect of you and only bring it out when necessary, which feels very performative and not real. I'd like to think John Cena isn't that emotionaless and doesn't just treat it as "well this is what the character of John Cena in this situation would do" Then you see his media appearances and it's just so fucking bizarre that I sometimes think it's all bollocks and he's a horrid fucker.

BrodyGraham Posted October 16 Posted October 16 This is fucking intolerable. Two people just competing to be earnest in the least sincere way. It's like a psychic duel. Quote
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted October 16 Paid Members Posted October 16 Aside from him being a big corporate robot weirdo, I have no idea how anyone can make it through an interview of his because he's just so fucking boring. I genuinely couldn't make it through 30 seconds of that Drew Barrymore segment without having to skip forward because he's just droning on forever but not actually saying anything. Quote
Chili Posted October 16 Posted October 16 What's happened to Drew Barrymore? I haven't seen much about her in ages. I'm not speaking out of turn when I say wasn't she quite cool and not weird like that clip. Quote

It's like a psychic duel. "I started going when I began participating as a performer in pro wrestling" Who talks like that? Fucking weirdo. I had to turn that off when Barrymore started crying because she's "never not worked". Quote

Drew Barrymore has always been a bit out there, but she was a Hollywood child actress who was in rehab at 12, and legally separated from her mother at 15. I can kind of understand it. Quote
The King Of Swing Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Yeah, a lot of people either forget or don't know how messed up her childhood was. Quote
BarryOVega Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Disappointed when I saw the name Barrymore and it wasn't Michael, watching Cenabot in interview mode trying to understand what 'Awight?' means would have been great Quote
Cocky_Pete Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Hi all, I'm a big fan of the WrestleMe, SCG Radio and Nuffink and Like It podcasts. I've got a fair bit of work travel coming up, so I'm looking for some new podcasts to keep me entertained. Can anyone recommend anything along similar lines that I might enjoy? Cheers! Quote

Obligatory plug for The New Generation Project Podcast. Still one of the greatest fan podcasts despite having finished nearly a decade ago Quote
