Guest converge241 Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 ok i will be the first to admit ive chuckled at some of the antics in a good way, but in no way does this make me want to fork over cash, and i cant imagine it does to anyone else.. and that should be at the forefron for gimmick changes so he was Vanilla Ice at Halloween..how does Vince decide this is gold? did he even review his OVW stuff?? granted its strangely somehow better than the whole "this rookie" gimmick cause that was pretty dismissive but jesus on an aside hes doing the Vanilla Ice and SK pointed out he seemed like Donnie Wahlberg, but i see total Marky Mark if there going to do this at least make his group called the funky bunch..that laughter may make me forget the waste of Cena
Guest dreamer420 Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 The gimmick is certainly better than what Cena has been doing. I think it could be pretty funny if played out right.
Guest DragonflyKid Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 He definitely needs a gimmick change, he has more charisma and mic skills than Brock which is what will eventually make him a bigger drawing power. The Marky Mark wigger gimmick makes him a joke, on top of that he is made to look bad to Rikishi constantly even though Rikishi hit his peak over a year ago and has little upside. They better have his fued with Rikishi end soon with Cena coming out looking superior. He needs to polish his in-ring skills but the potential to be the biggest thing since the Rock or Angle is there.
Guest CanadianChick Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Hmmm..."Kid with Ruthless Agression" which didn't get him anywhere after his match with Jericho, or "Vanilla Ice", which can be entertaining? i choose "Vanella Ice". If it entertains me and he has nothing better to do, why not?
Guest RickyChosyu Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Call me crazy, but I don't think Cena is supposed to be drawing money. Just a hunch.
Guest Zero_Cool Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 This Vanilla Ice gimmick is better than this gimmick of a plucky underdog with ruthless aggression...even though he was build like bobybuilder, which he was before he came to wrestling. If they want to make this gimmick work, he needs to wear the MC Hammer pants, along with naming his finisher, "Cooler Than Ice".
Guest Repo Man jr Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Yo, peep dis... I think his gimmick is really cool, Even if it makes him play a fool, At least he got a spot on Smackdown! TV, Which is much better than velocity, As long he moves away from Rikishi, He'll avoid catastrophe, Win some matches cus losing is whack dog, And hope that you don't never go on the same show as Tripple H aka GOD. Word

Ultimo Dugas Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 The rapper thing was kinda cute for Halloween and Cena did need a gimmick (probably not this one though). But why does Bull Buchanun have to be involved?
Guest TheArchiteck Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Worst Freestyle Ever. lol The gimmick is alright....but damn...where's Cena's charisma in his lyrics? He's just talking out words in a monotone voice. He's better than Rikishi though!

Guest Repo Man jr Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Rikishi doesn't rhyme. He says a few words and then inserts a word at the end that draws a pop. Totally oblivious to the beat - "John... you can'trap... with... kishi...Im... Rikishi... I'm... it good here... in... *Insert hometown name*"
Guest the 1inch punch Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 They should bring in SlimJ to kill him
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Im sure that no good can come out of this gimmick, although I suppose its slightly in Cena's favor that he doesn't weigh 500 lbs and hasn't started singing the same 2 lines over and over again..

Guest Anglesault Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 may make me forget the waste of Cena Do you mean the waste that is Cena?
Guest buffybeast Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Oh lighten up, guys!! Cena's wigger hip hop gimmick is cute and funny and ridiculous. Nothing more. However, six months from now, if he's still doing this Vanilla Ice shit, I'll be pissed.
Guest oldschoolwrestling Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 I think his gimmick is cool similar to Matt Hardy's and like Matt, he may never be anything more than a midcarder. He's good for some laughs.
Guest AndrewTS Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 A few points: 1. Rapping gimmicks never get over. 2. They already had a wigger TAG TEAM not too long ago--Too Cool. How is this different? And I'm a little surprised they don't get a little more use out of Scott Taylor and have him and Cena team up while they've still got him. Of course, I thought maybe he was going to be a Mattitude Follower, but that lasted all of...well, 2 weeks. So I guess not. *shrug*

Anytime you watch WWe these days, that's Vince saying "fuck the fans, I'll tell them what they want to see, how dare they try to think for themselves." If Vince was concerned about drawing money, the Kliq circle-jerking wouldn't be highlighting the Raw side, Big Show wouldn't be champ, and Brock would be in the midcard.
Guest Banky Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 I agree, the gimmick sucks and needs to be overhauled. I'd rather see him jobbing to Polumbo on Velocity. I watch wrestling for WRESTLING not mad rapping skillZ. Fuck him, fuck him up his ass.
Guest TheArchiteck Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Too Cool seemed more pop-ish though. And they actually seemed alive while doing it. Cena is just boring trying to rhyme. He suck!
Guest AndrewTS Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Well, they changed Too Cool's gimmick a little bit before they became that way. And Banky, seeing your sig and text under your avatar, I took you as a Cena fan. I guess that's SUPPOSED to be sarcasm, but doesn't across that way.
Guest El Satanico Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 He's suppose to suck and sound lame when he's rapping...It's the gimmick. While i rather not see another "rap battle" the gimmick isn't that bad. It's not a gimmick that will ever get him onto the main event level, but it will be awhile before he's main eventing anyway. Since he'll be a midcarder for a long time the gimmick isn't bad and won't do too much harm. But yes if it doesn't get over they need to change it sooner rather then later because then it would hurt him. If it gets over it would help him.
Guest Banky Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 How can you tell I wasn't over exagerating in my post?
