  • In late 2007, John Cena was injured during a match on RAW. He then would later return at the 2008 Royal Rumble. Seems normal right? A lot of wrestlers return at the Royal Rumble, if anything it is a tradition. However this was different. This was something special. A moment I will never forget. Lets go back to 2007 and 2008 and see what led to the epic return and what made it so special

      No it's doesn't wtf? That's just ignorant. I can dislike someone and still be happy they are healthy and working. I despise Roman Reigns as a wrestler. I was still really happy to see him return cancer free. Just because I dislike his wrestling doesn't mean I want him to have cancer. I have never enjoyed Cena. I always preferred Michaels, Edge, Triple H, Taker. That doesn't mean I want Cena to be injured for a year. Just because I don't like his character doesn't mean I want to see him cripple.

And then he said we’re leaving because there’s no cena then all of sudden #30 is counting down and we got up from our seats and then boom the rest of history.

Third Stone Cold never had a death grip on the title what the fuck are you talking about? He had the belt 6 times and for a total of 529 days. Hulk Hogan had 6 reigns for over 2000 days. AJ Styles held the belt for twice for 500 days. Cena had the belt 15 times for 1200 days. Austin never held the belt long and constantly lost it. You are completely ignorant about what you're claiming. People are allowed to dislike characters you like you fucking mark.

    I was following the Pro Wrestling Boards / forums on GameFaqs and reading NoDQ at the time and I was SURE he was out for months.
    When that music hit, I was like NO WAY, THIS is a troll. When he lifted his head, I was like bfdjneuejdff1o19198eeieu63iehh!!! 🤯🤯🤯
    I didn't even mind that he won the Rumble: I wanted him to!

    I've never hated John Cena. But I did get bored of him and wanted him to at least go down the card a little bit. But I never understood the hate he got. His work ethic was fantastic, and regardless of the people who say he can't wrestle, the guy always delivered in big matches regardless of who he was in the ring with.

It was a nice surprise & I always wished that stuff like that would never get leaked nowadays.

    If you look up Bryan Alvarez and Vinny's original review of the 08 Rumble on CZcams. You will hear one of the most hilarious Triple H rants ever from a buddy of theirs that they had on the show. The sad part is that 08 Triple H match was just as tired, needless and overexposed as he would be EIGHT WHOLE YEARS LATER when he actually won another Rumble and the WWE title. To cap it off, they all predicted Triple H would somehow be inserted into the title match and guess what? Triple Threat at Mania 24😁
