Guest Creepy Crawl Report post Posted January 3, 2003 I used to think they were dumb , like baseball card bubble gum , now I think they are funny like Monopoly money He got rid of those horrible trunks , that made him look like a skunk , now hes with B2 , and I like this crew He can out rap Rikishi , with his hair so greasy ...... Hey atleast I tried LOL . I have gotten to where I actually look foward to hearing what the guy has to say . Now if they can just get him away from jobbing to Rikishi and get him and B2 in a good fued with Eddie and Chavo I think he might actually become a pretty good heel . And please give the guy a finisher . He is already getting some pretty descent heat from the crowd . He still needs to work on his in ring skills but his gimmick just cracks me up . When he 1st came in I was like oh dear lord who is this dork , but now that he has went with this whole rapper gimmick it is actually one of the highlights of the show to me when he comes out . I thinks its pretty funny too when he does the commentary with Cole and Tazz , with Cole playing stupid and Cena just ripping on him . A few weeks back when they had him hanging out with V1 I was hoping they would go somewhere with that beacuse I think those two could make for some pretty funny stuff . What do y'all think ?

Guest LJSexay Report post Posted January 3, 2003 I've always liked him *ducks head*... I don't know WHY in the world they put B-2 with him. I never EVER liked Buchanan, EVER. But at least Cena is getting some nice air-time and character development. Wish he was put in the ring with someone who'd let him show off just what he can do though, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted January 3, 2003 Well he's gotten better since he first started. He actually starting to flow with the beat now. And he's adding in some funny lines now. He still not good though. But his facial expressions while doing it is gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Aero Report post Posted January 3, 2003 I still don't like him much at all, but I'll give him credit for some decent rapping. He actually managed to rap all of his commentary on Smackdown. Out of nowhere, he got something out like, "Quit dissin', Chioda was out of position!" Hey, remember when everyone in WWE used to call him "The Future of WWE?"

Guest creativename Report post Posted January 3, 2003 "I listen to Biggie, Biggie taught me what beef is" is some funny ass sh*t. I liked Cena before, but hated his tights and his "rookie" gimmick. That was just awful. Now of course he's a lot more interesting and it looks like his character is going somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2003 Cena is getting better. B-2...eh, I guess this is to say "Well, it may not be Right To Censor, but you're back on TV." And maybe this rap twosome will be better than Men on a Mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted January 3, 2003 If he writes that stuff himself, I have to give him credit. Whilst it's hard to see, being overshadowed by the gimmick itself, he's a tremendous actor and talker. Without the undercard stupidity he'll be a star, one day.

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Man, imagine if he combined "The Rookie" with "Rappin", he could rhyme "Test" with "Dentist". I admit, Cena won me over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted January 4, 2003 I think his gimmick - however horrible it really is and however horrible rap is - is going to get him over. Hes not a bad rapper (no worse that Feminem as far as I'm concerned) and the fact that he can keep a straight face while doing it shows that he can play different characters with ease.

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Cena completely won me over last night during the Eddie-Kidman match when he said: "You don't know me! I'm Darth Vader and you are Obi Won Kinobi! What!? What!?" That line alone has inspired me to take up Thuganomics while I continue to practice Mattitude.

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2003 I still say they should bring back Men on a Mission for a short time to be with Cena and B-2... Total Hip Hop Clash right there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nater Report post Posted January 4, 2003 I think he's gotten better and still has a lot of improvement. Most of the rap we are used to has evolved over years. The guy is a Green Rapper and a Green Wrestler, but because he is new talent, I hope it goes far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted January 4, 2003 I still say they should bring back Men on a Mission for a short time to be with Cena and B-2... Total Hip Hop Clash right there!

Guest buffybeast Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Cena's rapping is so horrible it's funny. I love his new gimmick. "Thuganomics" has me rolling on the floor every time. Bull "B2" Buchanan has absolutely no business in this role. He's like a fish on land. He's out of place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted January 4, 2003 It's an amusing curtain jerker character. The WWE seems like a developmental territory half the time anyway, they might as well make the scrubs entertaining. I'm waiting to buy my "Thuganomics" shirt the day it comes out.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted January 4, 2003 I can deal with the gimmick. I don't like it, but I can deal with it. But Bull Buchannan trying to look like Eminem With Muscles (hey, there's an idea for a new Hogan movie) is just goddamn ridiculous. Who okay'd that hairstyle?
