Why John Cena Started His Thugonomics Gimmick
Ойын-сауық
John Cena talks to Chris Van Vliet about his catch phrase "Never Give Up" and how it applied to his gimmick in WWE as the Dr. of Thugomics. John Cena is known for his time in WWE with epic matches against The Rock, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and many others. He has had a very successful career in Hollywood starring in films like Bumblebee, Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Daddy’s Home and Trainwreck.

Imagine that gimmick being given to anyone else, on paper shouldn't have worked but he took the ball and ran with it... and then Peacemaker is the cherry on top.

Everyone talks about how John Cena has the face of the company and he gets everything. This is a guy that came from nowhere. People like The Rock, and Roman had family to help them. Guys like Brock and Kurt Angle we're already stars in a different genre. Say what you want to about him, Cena is a real WWE success story.

Roman has had a story n a half, he would be a main eventer even if it weren’t for family before the tribal chief he were big, good attire old music got anyone gassed, sometimes came thru the crowd on entrances had feuds with triple H, the undertaker, the authority won the royal rumble, I think anyone with his physique, its their time right now look at who’s running the company

Very true John cena didn’t have someone to give him advice or someone to call for training and didn’t have a family who was in the business John was never a famous wrestler he never won a gold medal to boost his stock he was never in the nfl to get recognized by Vince or pushed by Vince he was just a good looking guy who bodybuilded and was at the right place and right time that’s why I respect cena people like the rock and Roman had a family that was in the business to help them brock was a well known wrestler with tons of achievements in wrestling and played football Kurt won a gold medal that why I respect cena and stonecold 2 self made stars who did this on there own with no head start like the rest of the biggest superstars

Big props to this guy pulling off a interview with himself.
Word life This is basic Thugonomics! Love this gimmick, loved what Cena brought to the WWE creatives with it, loved the battle rapping segments and how he was able to bring competitors into such a fun element and as a black hip hop fan, loved how Cena positively represented hip hop in a way that was respectful to the culture.
The amazing part is that he ended up becoming a bigger star than everyone that was put in front of him.

It’s hard to even imagine the WWE without Cena, dude made my childhood exist. Honestly is responsible for the WWE being successful today.
He shouted many times in many promos but his voice is still good.
Summer time barely rolled around and it’s already hot out here 😬
Congrats on 60k
This is why Cena is such a great role model, he was looked at like he was bottom of the barrel and he became the face of the company and one of the top contenders for a CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD and all cause he kept deciding to Never Give Up
The best is always saved for last 🎉❤🌟💙
Your mixtape is still fire
In the Early 2000's, He's my wrestling Idol at all when I was in childhood years :)

He talks about never giving up... It's easy to say when you come from a somewhat wealthy Massachusetts family with a bunch of siblings who got your back
John Cena is a definition of utilise what you get handed and make it work for you.

Maybe, I remember he wasn't great as Rocky Maivia.... but not sure they must have put a lot of faith into him because he won the intercontinental championship really early into his WWF career.... he really started being interesting when he joined the nation of domination... I think that was literally when he shortened down to The Rock too.
@samuelwoods164
2 жыл бұрын
And that was when the intercontinental championship actually meant something, and a lot of them actually went on to win the WWF championship (warrior, Bret, Shawn, Kevin nash, stone cold, HHH), I think they used it a lot in the 90s to see how the fans reacted to them with a title or to appease guys backstage so they could headline B shows back when WWF would have 2 sometimes 3 live events in different cities on the same night.

Definitely one of the GOATs

took a lot for him to pull that phrase off and make it his own, that was Rick Steiner's catch phrase in WCW for a very long time. followed by the second sentance "you don't like me. bite me" but cena made that "you want some come get some" his own just as much.
John cena was the reason i was waching wwe now he is gone and still i admire him
The Mic never gives up on Invisible man !!
Some people hates him because he was overpushed but everyone have to realise that John Cena came from no where guys like The Rock, Roman Reigns and Randy they had family to help them up even the guys Brock, Kurt they were already stars in different sports. John Cena is a self made man no nepotism. Cena and Taker they are self-made superstar
and that was the only time he was entertaining, his super cena gimmick made me hate wrestling and this company that I had to stop watching it for years, so predictable and they are doing the same with roman, thankfully I got back into wrestling thanks to AEW

Roman right now is the best thing in the wwe right now, hell maybe he's the best thing in wrestling right now. The head of the table gimmick is just that good, an unstoppable heel that has a good story. And Roman can do it all, he can do a good promo now with Paul Heyman (one of the best talkers in wrestling ever) he can be a reliable big match and him turning heel elevated him to new heights.
His words intensity is showing that he is filled with frustration for wwe
The last few seconds is the most true. Give it your best 100% of the time. Don’t be afraid of learning and let things be what they are.
John Cena one of my all time favorite wrestlers, of two!!! 16 time World champion 🏆
Growing up is liking John Cena This man is dope asd
Kids born from the late 90s to early 2000s John was the man growing up.
fair enough gotta respect the Invisible Man.
Imagine if Cena had an Indy style move set
I haven't been into wrestling since andre the giant was around..but I love this dude
I always been a fan of Cena. Grew up watching him, the first wresltmania I ever watched was wresltmania 20. Never forget seeing him F-U big show
Great message Champ!!!
Very inspiring and motivating 👍
I never saw John have a bad performance. Seems like a very humble dude
Cena vs Angle.was a classic match
It was kinda one of those things I didn’t think about as a kid, but his little feud with undertaker before his rise to stardom was great. Early 2000s smack down gave me so many core memories 😂
Funny enough we can thank Stephanie Mcmahon for thuganomics
I haven't watched wwe in 10 years but this guy was my whole childhood fr
Cena I always been a fan of ya word skills but dis rite here is pure gold
This is the saying of you shouldn't care that you aint the best at the start but work hard and dedicate yo self to it and the best will come
He was my childhood I respect the grind he did to get where he is now
Hustle 💰 Loyalty 🙇♂️ Respect 🙏
He's one of my favorite wrestlers❤
And that's why we love you cena ❤
“I can freestyle pretty good”
He was the last pick but overshadowed everyone even when he wasn’t champion
Back when I first watching wrestling, the first thing I can remember seeing was Cena pissing on a grave in Undertaker's cemetery. I am glad Stephanie happened to hear him freestyling and planted the Doctor of Thuganomics for him to follow through on.
Peacemaker is easily the best thing happened in 2022 so far. Top 10 series of all time for me
Thank you for all you do. The Champ 🏆 is you.
To me, wwe wouldn’t be as what it is today without John cena. The man that brought me into wrestling
