Love It CVVCLIPS Bro
"When I'm wrong, that means I'm about to learn something new which I will never forget." Great words.
like most grifters, they have good words. But they're a fake and fraud. And like in any grifter... you want to see his lying? Compare his actions to his words.
I won't go into the nitty gritty, but .... i'll use parts of this interview as an example.
He says your nice words. ""When I'm wrong, that means I'm about to learn something new which I will never forget.""
He also says... he almost turned heel in Cena vs Rock 1.
Well... that's a lie. because at sumerslam 2010, a whole 2 years before rock / cena 1, Cena refused REFUSED to put over the nexus, in one of the most infomous stupid endings. It burried the nexus beyond redemption. Cena has admited it was part of his call and that he was wrong.
He didn't learn anything, despite PUBLICLY admiting he was wrong. IN the Cena Rock feud , 2 years later, He continued to do his thing. unchanged.
Thus. His ""When I'm wrong, that means I'm about to learn something new which I will never forget."" is a flat out lie. Like Jordan Belfort or Grant Cardone. Like Andrew Tate. These people find a market. And MILK iT DRY. Twisting and swirling their words, to ensure they always SAY what's right for that market, despite their actions.... being garbage.
Why? because Cena is a sociopath. He's a cunt who only cares about lining his pockets. He developed a persona that sells merch to kids, and NEVER CHANGED IT. Because to him it didn't matter of the product he delivered was good or bad. he sold merch. It didn't matter than in the course of his career the very same kids he initially made happy turned on him for never changing..... he had a brand new generation of todlers to appease.
Even hogan did a heel turn.
Cena? Never. He'll always say the right thing to achieve his goal. He'll lie to your face. He stood in the middle of a wrestling ring and turned his ankle making fun of fans who just begged him to turn heel. Can you imagine? All pretence of storyline dropped, and fans just begging him to deliver something new, something different... and his message was "Fuck you i sell t-shirts to kids and use sick kids to promote my image to the casual viewer".
Fuck cena.
The "yay I'm from Toronto" is dead on... 🤣
"That's where we live. We live in Toronto, yay... Shut up!!"
"He said Toronto that's where we live" I love that promo. My fave
stronger than a bear faster than a buck
I thought he was from Pickering Ontario
@nikhilhalbe the biggest thing to hit Canada because the maple leafs SUCK
Why is john speaking in riddles lmao
Yup. He's been getting some media training. He's speaking like a politician.
He hesitates too much whilst his brain summons a thesaurus. Sounds uncertain and disingenuous in this segment. Cyborg Cena searching for algorithms.
It really does feel like that lmao. But I guess he feels he has to be like that in interviews.
Cena takes himself way too seriously now
@@miket2215 this is just a prototype
Cena low key saying Cody needs to wait longer for the title😂.
offcourse comid don't deserve
Cody crybabies ruined wm 😂
@@2high4eso You guys are really a bunch of mindless sheep, that repeat every word, that The Rock says, huh? "He called them Cody Crybabies, now I´m going to use that, too. hahaha meeeeeh"
He promoted on his instsgram right after he gave Rock his spot to fight Roman. Cena immediately supported the Rock vs Roman match. He didn't think twice about it.
Well this has been Cena his whole career. He's the guy who refused to turn heel even with an entire arena demanding it, so why would he say it's good for Rock to turn heel because of the crowd? He's all about staying the course.
Cena sounds done with life in some of these clips.
I was just about to say the same thing. Like he tired of talking about wrestling and really just wanted to talk about his film career.
This popped me pretty good. 😂
He probably was in on what vince was up to. So he probably realises it’s a matter of time before his career is over 😂
Lmao. My boy sounds so sad. And raspy ass voice
Nope. Incorrect perception.
Cena was heel during his "Thuganomics" rapper days. The problem is that, just like the Rock, it was a ton of people who just like the characters of Cena and the Rock in general, it didn't matter if they were face or heel, but it made their life better as a face, just like the Warrior. Warrior was never a heel.
@@TheTonyF True, but they didn't think that deep. 🤷🏽♂️ When Rock was on his prime, I loved his persona and character overall, I actually never knew that he was either a heel or face, until his first return to the WWE (the time when he wore his catchphrases on his shirts, 2010's). When he was in it, before pursuing a movie career, I honestly was confused about his storylines or never seen it altogether, because there was points in time when I didn't have cable growing up. When he showed up on SmackDown, he was obviously portrayed as a face and how he moved to leave for Hollywood and come back to WWE was "mostly justified" except for the fans and wrestlers who said it was BS. Enter: John Cena's storyline about criticizing Rock about how Rock wasn't a mainstay and Cena fought to stay relevant and good, etc.
I think Warrior with the hat on should count as heel lol
@@sialiasialis2920 That was weird with all that hair on his head. Definitely heel. Lol
Zhong Xina is soo inspirational
Haaaaa hahaaaaa got em
Bing chilling
Cena sounds like McMahon
Starting to look like him too.
😂@@DoubleO88
@@DoubleO88damn bruh😂😂😂😂
YOU. CAN'T. SEE. MEEEE!!!!
@@DoubleO88cap
i swear if john will ever return as a heel he needs to do a politician gimmick
He should do something similar to what The Rock did with Hollywood Rock, but obviously do it his own way
@@cluezybluezalthough your idea is good and he touched upon his plan for his supposed heel turn, I rather him do a pseudo politician sell out gimmick. Boy will that sell like heat cakes
Cena should’ve turned heel in late 2012, after losing to Rock to go against CM Punk as a babyface.
Cena turned heel a long time ago by never turning heel, and fans have hated him since.
Nahhh then he would be just another JBL. Now granted, JBL promos were fire as a heel, so he was qualified but Cena original idea sounded way more entertaining. I wanna hear that Heel theme song now and plus since Cena has the "Superhero" gimmick, him being a Heel would be like "Dominion Superman" where he just dominating superstars constantly, talking sh**, and just Muscle, Royalty, & Disrespect 😂😂😂
Annnnd this is why I appreciate The Rock's creative input and overall response to fan feedback over Cena's. This is the route Cena should've taken when he was getting hate during his babyface run. But it was all about staying the course since a reaction was just that, a reaction to him.
I think John Cena still has the past regime mentality of just going against what fans want.
I'm all aboard with the new direction have more exciting and we all the Roman vs Cody match is going to be a lot of interference but, it's way better then what they were giving us and it makes way more sense and has layers the other story didn't make sense or have this kind of depth and intriguing under plot. Is Rock going to do a double turn is Seeth going to turn? Who knows where is Jay?
Cena was going to turn heel in 2012, but WWE scrapped it for business reasons.
Who had been babyface to fill Cena's role. Cena said interview that he was going to go full blown heel wasn't going to be cool heel selling merch stuff.
When Cena was in WWE it was Vince making the decisions. Cena can't do anything about it.
Chris I gotta give it to ya, not many interviewers can go nearly 2 hours conversing with no one 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣
You can tell Cenas still a company guy. Hes refusing to acknowledge that Rock and company made a mistake. And johns wrong about the patience thing. If they dont crown Cody at 40, watch the backlash thats gonna come out of it.
Patience is when it didnt happen at 39, fans stuck with it an additional full year. If it doesnt happen at 40, thats not asking for patience from fans, thats treating us like idiots.
False, cody was irrelevant up until he won the royal rumble again, he wrestled nobodies, he's only relevant when he's against roman reigns
@Therealvielo ...you didn't even disprove his comment at all, regardless of you saying Cody is supposedly irrelevant lol.
Audience reaction says differently my friend. The people have waited patiently for this pay off and I'd say Cody worked hard to get to this moment. If he isn't crowned champion, WWE probably just slapped all those patiently waiting fans in the face.
But if that's what you fancy, have at it I suppose for one more year of Roman as champ. May as well be the Jeff Jarrett of WWE.
Nope WWE will be just fine
Exactly
@@Therealvielodamn Brock a nobody news to me
Yea man, I was a big fan of Hollywood Rock - played as him in Here comes the Pain love the animation of the running forearm to the opponent then him pointing at his head as in "use your brains"
wow dude, you just unlocked a very awesome memory.
@@RippinToons Rock gotta do that taunt - it's such a heelish move. Insult to injury.
Cena stayed the course through all the boos he received and never gave the audience what they wanted to see, which was a heel turn that would've elevated and given more depth to his character. It's no wonder why he's ambivalent about seeing The Rock actually listen to the fans and adjust course.
I don’t think it was completely up to Cena though. You gotta remember how out of touch Vince was (and still is), and how Cena was his golden boy. I’m pretty sure Cena brought up the prospect of turning heel, but that would have interfered with a lot of revenue coming from kids buying all his merch.
Of course because Cena makes the script
You're right, being a yes man to Vince had a lot to do with it. And that's where Cena and Rock differ. Rock has the power to call his own shots, Cena doesn't.
Cena is a watered down rock that's why
@@mr.j410cena actually succeeded in being a DC Superhero while Dwayne didn't.
John basically saying wrestling fans stupid for not wanting Rock vs Roman
Because that's the truth
Its just facts
Cody Crybabies ruin everything. Just like the Daniel Bryan fanboys
@@nunka34ify but Daniel Bryan got one of the best moments in one of the best WrestleMania endings ever. This could be just as good, hell bigger than that cuz the heels are bigger and way more invested
They are!!! WWE fans have the same mentality as a bratty child who get whatever they ask for, the moment they don't, they throw a fit. Let these people tell the story before you criticize it
Hollywood got this guy. Have a nice Trip
Cena looks so sad the interview is just wrestling instead of the movie
roman really did him in with that "missionary for 20 years didn't work for nikki"
He knows Chris is a wrestling focussed interviewer
I walked by you at the Raw Anaheim I had the blue yeet sweatshirt with the blue universal belt…I was like that’s CVV clips
Being wrong is erroneously associated with failure; when in fact it elevates two parties to a new understanding.
When you have to give a book report in front of the class but you haven't read the book
Fans were patient. The "be patient" moment was when Cody lost last year. Sometimes you just have to do the obvious thing, because it's the right thing. Lex Luger is a perfect example. They didn't put the title on him when the time was right & he never got it.
Rock and John are literally polar opposites, even today
how so?
One has the vince McMahon school of thought while the other being the rock will listen to the fans rather than fighting against them. No wonder rock is a bigger movie star than cena can ever could be.
@@Khader1093 I think they are more alike than different. Both became what they needed to be at their respective times. Rock enjoyed many of the luxuries Cena never did. Cena became a poster boy for WWE's make a wish campaigns and became a hero for the kids during the PG era. While Rock always resonated more with the more adult mature audience as he was present during the peak of attitude era. Vince never allowed Cena to turn heel to not dissappoint the PG kids.
@@Khader1093bigger movie star yet he's worst actor of 3 doing jungle movies all time. Cena has a successful DC superhero project while Dwayne flop so hard that listen to fans brought Cavill still failed. So yeah there not same people.
@@raidenskywalker3702how can you admit he’s the bigger movie star and then go on to say he flopped? Im a bit confused here friend.
Hearing Cena talk like this is so draining.
Cena sounding like he wants a seat on the board of directors lol. Imagine he finally turns heel and we get corporate cena!
The Rock can still kill it like he never left all those years ago I don’t think Cena could replicate his 2003-4 run again.
It took Rocky a single solitary second to recognise he needed to turn heel, and he did it. John take note, you should have done the same to keep yourself fresh and relevant.
dude, he was so ready to do it, even recorded a new entrance song for his heel turn. go watch another clip of CVV clips where he talks about it. It was not his fault at all he couldnt turn heel.
@@user-se6vl3vg4d I saw it. He said he was gonna do it before Cena/Rock 1. That's far too late, people had lost interest in his character and were calling him boring way before then. He should have turned a long time before that.
@@DamonSlaterif he did end up turning heel in 2012. Who would be babyface to go up against heel Cena. Was there someone in that roster that could be able to handle work schedule Cena had as a babyface.
Bro with the rock coming back and turning back heel i be watching like it was the 90s again and i was a lil kid
John cena is so truthful and so positive
Cena is like, "Time is a flat circle."
I can definitely see John retiring one day which will be so heartbreaking for all of us but at the same time deserved and grateful for everything he did in the wwe as a wrestler. I can’t see him not being a part of the wwe like backstage or helping in some way. I still see the passion even if he doesn’t wrestle. 16 time world champion 😎
Blah blah blah
I've said for the last few years that Cena is a "You won't miss me until I'm gone" personality.
1:55 well said
I like cena but he’s such a robot, same with rock in interviews it’s like watching a corporate spokesperson talk in circles.
Your high as f bro wot r u smoking arse crak?
Swear to god I’ve seen the guy in Iraq in a chow hall line during their Christmas show in Baghdad. Big show and HHH eating like normal people ok with taking pics with everyone…meanwhile unless a news camera or public affairs person was there cena sat there scowling into his fucking food not looking at anyone. When the camera was on his fake face lit up like a light bulb and his smile came out. He’s so fake it disgusted me. Big show funny as shit and chain smokes id hang out with him over this phony pos any day
Rock interviews are darn intresting. You see rock is different character when he is in Hollywood
John Cena is so good with words and providing a neutral standpoint on things
This mindset is why Cena doesn't believe he hogged the spotlight at any point when he absolutely did, he buried numerous up and coming guys all in the name of him being the face of the company which is why the fans have gotten so unruly because its time for someone else to have the torch
his character got so boring cringey & stale. it was the same shit over & over again
I love guy giving gems on business
I don't agree with John. Turning Rock Heel has made this story 100 percent more interesting... Rock is igniting an already amazing story.
Sorry John, keeping you Super Cena while being polarizing didn't help the product.
He was stilll over and still successful who cares what u think toxic hater !
@@simenzewedlamini360 I love Cena. But you're insane if years of your baby face drawing boos and reliving the hogan's 80s era in the 2010s was good for the product.
@@simenzewedlamini360 No one's hating. It wasn't Cena's abilities that sucked, it was the atrocious booking
@@unclefred3128absolutely agree, abd I am a huge Cena fan.
Super Cena huh but no one is complaining about Romain holding the belt four years with the same gimmick please shut up …..
Wrestling fans are ANYTHING but patient
John: They are patients...
ARE THEY!?!?
😅😅😅😅
"Yay, Toronto! That's where we live!" 😅
Remember it like he just said it!
See This Is Why It's #Cenation 4Life 🤼💪🏿💯😎🎼🍾🌟💙👑🤘🏿
No John that's not it all. What they were going to do would have sucked. What they are doing now is what's up.
Was looking forward to seeing John cena speak but it was just the interviewer and a recorded voice of cena, because U CANT SEE ME
I cannot stand cena interviews man lol
I cannot see cena in his interviews. All I see I see is a floating suit and a tie
Come back in the wrestling ring.❤❤❤
i liked the interview but i cant watch it fully cause the audio sux
I like John but my god more i watch him does he come across as overly serious and contrite but i do love him!
"I'd have to see the end result, I love being surprised." If that ain't foreshadowing, i don't know what is
Cena and CM Punk are the best talkers that make sense when they cut promos in the history of WWE.
Cena still has a chance to turn heel❤
I agree with what he says here, but I think the thing with Cody is that you're gonna see people stop believing in him if he loses to Roman again at Mania. The thing with good storylines is to always be ahead of the curve with people getting tired of what you're doing. That's not to say there's NO scenario in which him losing again makes for a good storyline development, but I really struggle to think of what that development would be that wouldn't leave the character irreparably damaged.
With that voice, Cena needs to run for President lol
Rock is amazing as a heel or baby face. It makes the most sense considering bloodline story.
even Rock got surprised he turn into heel, but he got adapted pretty fast and good
This is why his fucking career was garbage 2008-2017, because we don't love no fucking long term pay off especially when there was never a pay off in the first place! It was more of you doing what you want, while we the fans scream wtf we really wanted. This is why Rock is different. I actually wanted Rock vs Roman, because this would have been the first WM Rock ever won the WWE title in a main event of WM, and that story of who is the real tribal chief has been set for years. Instead Rock actually listened to the other fans, and gave them Cody's storyline with Roman again. Rock has been selfless by putting people over since his early days. The man just keeps giving, and he gives even more by still being so damn entertaining while trying to be hated. They chant Rocky sucks when he's gone, but when he's in that Ring it's a different story lol. True people's champ
Damn good luck getting a straight answer from Cena nowadays. Hes still great though
That’s what we said last year Cena 🥹 that’s the point
Lol why is this lowkey mad deep tho
John Cena needs to run for president.
I hear what hes saying. He doesnt disagree with The Rock turning heel, he just thinks that the substance of such a strong story shouldnt conclude this year, and rather take its time to develop for next WM. Business wise thats more of a long term investment but imagine having this much engagement for 12 months vs 2.
"How many WrestleMania ticket refunds you've seen?" MEAAAAAAAAN SMFH that's a BAR.
I miss you Mr.John Cena.🌹🌹🌹
For the record Ricky staticky was hilarious lol
Wish you did it Cena.
1:45 pretty sure he was hinting towards Rock vs Roman at WrestleMania 41. Which I think is what they're working towards now. The Rock turns on Roman in the Tag match maybe.
when Cena tries to talk serious I just can’t take him serious anymore after I seen him in a dress Lol Maybe it’s just different to me cause I grew uup with Cena.. In 05 I was a child watching him rap battle everyone on the mic
Imagine what a heel Cena would be like today. He already destroys people on the mic, he would be scary as a heel lol
Why does this have zen like vibes.. It's like a mild echo in a white noise background that is so quite.
I don’t see anyone but I do hear someone talking with the interviewer.😅
When did John Cena become Plato ?
I can see a heel Cena philosopher.
This would be an amazing Heel Cena for 2024
Why is Cena sounding like a politician?!? I want this heel Cena!!!
He’s right about the Daniel Bryan thing. And as soon as it pays off the fans will get bored w Cody like they did w Daniel Bryan.
Yup, same with Sami Zayn as well.
They booed D. Bryan later on? Wow! Stopped watching WWE a year after the yes movement took over
John Cena still thinking in that old mentality of "Yeah the fans are not happy with the story, buy just stay the course". This is the whole stupid Vince mentality of "I know what's best for the fans".
Cena was a one trick pony, he had no range, and could never change his character the way Austin/Rock/Jericho did.
And cody? Lol he had the thuganomics persona to hustle loyalty and respect gimick
He went from the prototype to thuganomics to the marine to super Cena. Your comment is very inaccurate and it sounds like a personal dislike rather than actual facts.
@@smokegames1179Cody living in your head rent free lmao😂😂😂
@@smokegames1179 My case in point. He had two gimmicks and both had very limited range. Thuganomics was simply "let's hear what he will rap this week", but the character had no longevity, it had no vested interest. It was one of those "cool" new things that is no longer interesting after a year. And the hustle gimmick was great for the kids and the PG era but it was the same thing for 10+ years. If it hadn't been for Austin, Rock, Brock and Angle leaving the WWE all within the span of 3 years, Cena would never have gotten as high and for as long as he did.
@@BlagoPAustin was never going to be there long term because of his injuries. Rock wanted to do Hollywood, Brock wouldn't had been long term face of company because he's not PR guy that likes to do interviews and such especially when Benoit stuff ends up happening, and Cena surpass Angle when he was there and Angle at the time was addicted to painkillers aka Perc Angle. Cena showed on the mic that he can destroy Dwayne. So once again you make no valid arguments.
I can see you, cena
He sounds like a bad phone reception call
Either Cena means Cody might have to wait until next year for the title or the Rock vs. Roman Reigns fight will be next year. If the latter were to happen it would have to start this year and what better place than at WM when The Rock costs Roman his title? Awesome
If John comes on board to fight the bloodline with Austin then the winning odds are going sky high
Sounds like Cena’s skeptical about Rock’s Heel turn- Probably because he’s skeptical with HIS OWN heel turn. I think he’s waiting to see if The Rock’s able to win the fans BACK after ‘Mania.
Vote for John Cena as our United States 2032 president. "U can't C me"
It's easy to stay the course until it gets to the main event rock vs Roman fans in Philadelphia would have hi Jack the main event, wrestlemania is never a Casual crowd these are marks from all round the world
Specially in Philly that place will take over fast
This is one of the things that's hard to see. For me, sometimes I'll hang in there even though I'm not really enjoying it anymore. I already gave them the benefit of the doubt last year to not have Cody win at Wrestlemania and it worked out, but if they try to do that again this year and string me along for another year then it just won't be as enjoyable. Especially because of the significance of 40 as opposed to 41. And not doing it at a Wrestlemania also feels like such a waste. If I'm made to wait until 41 it won't be enjoyable, it'll only be expected. Then if THAT fails I'll tune out. Still, expected isn't the emotion you want me to feel, and feeling bad for 3 years of storytelling is a bit too much.
John Cena 🐐🐐🐐🐐
💩💩💩💩
"Fans love that long term payoff." See, he GETS it! Barely anyone else in entertainment does these days and it sucks!
Mid life crisis hit John hard
Good movie
It was just bad timing because for the past year we have building up to Cody finally getting another shot and actually doing it this time. Then he wins the Rumble and has that moment with Roman. It just wouldnt make sense to just put all of that to the side and just have Cody vs Seth. At the same time, The Rock vs Roman certainly would have been epic. At least we have heel Rock, which we not have had otherwise. And the tag team match on night 1 is a decent compromise that allows the Rock to be involved.
I just hope the Rock sticks around just a bit longer even if its just for Backlash, so he can continue a rivalry with either Cody or Roman. I'm assuming thats not going to happen and that he only signed up for Wrestlemania, but he stuck around for a brief rivalry with Goldberg after he returned to face Austin back in '03 so why not? Surely he has made enough movies and enough money and he can see just how much of an impact he is having in the wrestling world that a part of him truly does want to stick around.
The people saying Cena sounds disingenuous etc.. No he is thinking before he speaks because he has intelligence and wants to give a educated opinion
Bing Chillin!
He indirectly hinted on the Rock turning on Roman sooner or later. And this, the WWE Universe has already been speculating about. And this will eventually be a good pay off for everyone to witness The Rock vs Roman although it is also true that the Rock is obviously not as agile as he once was. But it’s still going to be a great match to see.
Poor John, he wants to go heel for sure
No he loves being a a fake hero for kids. That’s why he ain’t got any 😂
Cena should come back as a heel and become tag champs with rock lol
Freakin part time Rock turns heel before Cena. What a world we live in.
(Come to think of it, Vince was the main obstacle of the idea. Maybe Paul Levesque can make it happen)
Please come back John , to dethrone Reigns because Cody is not yet ready
HLR, hustle, loyalty, respect 🔥❤️
Cena sucks
@@omarsherif2302 Cody crybaby 🤣
We know that u are going to help Cody ❤
Some of these wrestling fans aren't as patient as you think john.
the most realist thing ever said in the history of wwe is when daniel bryan said wrestling fans are fickle...fickle fickle.. fickle..
So, we're supposed to wait ANOTHER year for someone to dethrone Roman? Jesus Christ, he's held the title since 2020 and has fought everyone there is with the exception of Lashley or maybe Seth (their matches ended in a DQ so the RR match doesn't count.)
Oh I know you're not talking about patience with Cody fans. Cause if you are, then you're dumb as a brick. Cody fans had to wait 1 entire year for this rematch and you're saying their patience hasn't been long enough? You want to extend it to 41? 2 years is what you call patience? What if The Rock wanted a rematch at 41, would you have said wrestling fans needed even more patience like WM 42? 3 years would be enough patience for you now?!
Cena slowing down his speech and annunciation sound a lot like Vince
I get what john is saying, wwe fans want cody but we also wanted the rock and roman, we dont know how long the rock will be around in wwe till he goes back to movies and then it is a schedule issue all over again, so he is saying do the rock and roman now before you lose the chance to do it and then do cody and roman and give them the cody win for the payoff.
I said the same thing, let Cody “finish his story” next Mania, now we will never see Rock and Roman while Roman is the true head of the table and that’s a damn shame.
rock was mostly heel when he was facing cena who was the face in his first return i think..u cant shee me
