    Cena's rise in 02-03 was nice to watch again. You can see why WWE valued him outside of the ring and why the fans loved him inside the ring. His babyface character around WM XX is my favorite of his because of how unpredictable he could get on the mic. He would have the fans on his side and would offend anyone regardless if they were a heel or babyface. What did you think of heel John Cena?

      It was fun. Watching him vs Kurt at no mercy was arguably the greatest live experience I've ever experienced. Almost made up for the most uncomfortable moment of my life when I saw Vince vs Stephenies live snuff film. That match alone is why I stopped watching wrestling.

      Yeah it was great and really pushed the boundaries of what could and couldn't be on TV at the time. Aside from the money they would lose in the foreign market, turning them heel post ruthless aggression would be kind of bland. He couldn't say that stuff on a PG show. Cena roasting people will always be funny though. I talked to Paul Bearer. I spoke to him often. He told me him and Undertaker share the same coffin. Lita's a s*** run away when you meet her. I shook her hand last week and I got gonorrhea.

      Cena was pushed. The rappin gig was his idea 2 use. But creative push’em hard. Really hard. Like undertaker graveyard incident that is classic wwf creative. I wouldn’t doubt a freestyle rapper was hired 2 write his raps. My guess is spanky was hired 2 write raps 4 Cena then eventually written on TV as part of the agreement 4 him writing Cena’s raps. The crowd liked the roasts Cena took off. I was fresh outa high school first year of college n called it. They r gonna push this poser as new face of the company following his rap gimmick they r using gettin him over.

    Cena's rise was very similar to Rock's.
    Both started as bland white meat babyfaces with zero personalities that fans tuned out on.
    Both had heel turns that gave them a personality.
    Both slowly gained fan support over the months despite being heels.
    Both became mega stars when they became faces again.

    Nice vid. It was a spectacle, original, entertaining I'll give it that. His wrestling has always left more to be desired but even he admitted that. He always knew how to freshen up, how to reconnect and stay relevant. I admire the hell outta him for that. That and what he has done as a goodwill ambassador for the company that made it possible, rarely slighting them and when it has happened it was never malicious and had a moral highground. Yeah, rumors and locker room banter about no sells, killed runs and disrespect I cant say anything. Pure speculation there, that aside he's an alright dude. I just wish he didn't host Wipeout. That was my shit before they traded out the old hosts John Anderson, John Henson and Jill Wagner. No disrespect Cena and Byer

P.S and by the way edge and rey mysterio ended up winning that tournament and becoming the first wwe tag team champions. i can't remember who they beat though for the belts i think it was kurt angle and chris benoit.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

    2003 would be Brock lesnar's year with John cena as the runner up
    Randy orton and Batista barely had a chance to compared to the Lesnar and Cena and it's not their fault
    John cena had quite a smooth Path in 2003 while Randy orton had quite the opposite
