So when John Cena debuted
 
Did anybody think he'd be the face of the company?

whiteyford 11-18-2012 04:38 PM

Not really but I also thought the Rock would be a jobber too when he debuted.

Rock Bottom 11-18-2012 04:42 PM

I didn't think he'd be a jobber because of his match against Kurt. That's a pretty big debut.

Cool King 11-18-2012 04:52 PM

I didn't watch SmackDown back when John Cena debuted, so I think the first time I saw him was when he entered the 2003 Royal Rumble. That's my earliest memory of him anyway.

I thought he was pretty cool at first, rapping his way to the ring but I just thought he was just another guy with a gimmick I've never seen before. I never thought he would become the face of the company.

drave 11-18-2012 05:01 PM

Before the rapping :D

Damn good debut too.

Most of the people that "made it", I thought wouldn't.

I remember thinking Orton was just "another one of those guys" who get labeled as the future of the company, and then end up doing nothing.

Ruien 11-18-2012 06:05 PM

Don't think I ever thought anyone would be the face of the company off their debut.

XL 11-18-2012 06:35 PM

I remember really liking him but there's no way you could have made that leap.

I started this thread because of all of the Ryback talk, he's basically just debuted. Yet everyone's talking about him vs. Brock Lesnar at WM.

Wouldn't it be cool if he went back to that attire?

Wishbone 11-18-2012 07:15 PM

I remember seeing his debut and thinking "Damn, that dude's got something." of course I saw it about a year after the fact on a recording so I already had an idea of what he was capable of by then. I'm thinking that had I seen it live I would have probably not cared.

It would be awesome if he used some traditional attire like that.

V 11-18-2012 07:37 PM

hated him as his face, with his generic theme he first debuted with

when he started rapping, I knew he'd be big. I got his autograph during that time before anyone knew who he was :love:

KaosDarksol 11-18-2012 08:33 PM

He made an impact in his debut. Should have known he was going to be big but no one could have predicted he would be the face of the company

The Condor 11-18-2012 09:57 PM

I remember when he came in and people thought him and Orlando Jordan were going to be the shit. 1/2 right I suppose.

Totally right...


oh wait you said "the shit" I accidentally missed the "the" in that...

Anybody Thrilla 11-19-2012 01:35 AM

I thought the Heart Throbs would be the two biggest stars in WWE by now. Boy is my face red.

Supreme Olajuwon 11-19-2012 01:43 AM

LOOK AT ALL THESE JOBBERS

and yet each one went on to become one of the all time greatest legends of all time!

CSL 11-19-2012 01:44 AM

I imagine Rock was a huge hit In Da Club by 50 Cent when he'd roll in with that hairdo

CSL 11-19-2012 01:45 AM

Bart Gunn looks like Evan Bourne's dad

The Condor 11-19-2012 01:49 AM

Yeah, Bart started as a jobber but Brawl-for-All put him over the top as did his epic against Butterbean.

Supreme Olajuwon 11-19-2012 01:51 AM

looking at old Rock pics, totally forgot that he used to be a little bit of a chubster back in the day

CSL 11-19-2012 01:52 AM

top Mania moments ever:

3. Flair retires
2. Hogan slams Andre
1. Butterbean ends the life of Bart Gunn live on PPV

That is a soft midsection right there

Anybody Thrilla 11-19-2012 01:58 AM

He's Samoan. That's how that works.

Supreme Olajuwon 11-19-2012 01:59 AM

Isn't it convenient that once they stopped pushing his islander heritage and started pushing his black heritage, he went from bulky to cut<br><br><br>

Supreme Olajuwon 11-19-2012 01:59 AM

whoaaaaaaaaaa, ABT's post wasn't there when I started making that last post<br><br>WHOAAAAAAAAAA<br>

Anybody Thrilla 11-19-2012 02:03 AM

You don't know about the "insert post" function?

cena was always a midcarder in my ewr games

glanville6 11-19-2012 02:06 AM

I was there that night! It was a good match, but I never thought he'd be the face of the company. It didn't take long though. 2006-2007 it became him? If HHH wanted to be the face of the company all those years, he could have and still could be.

Unless you include his run as Skip Sheffield.

I saw his first match on NXT, and I told everyone here that he would be huge once he dropped the goofy gimmick.

Zeeboe 11-19-2012 07:44 AM

They had him go up against Angle and made Cena look good so I figured they probably had some type of big plan for him.

Worked for Nathan Jones

Chavo Classic 11-19-2012 08:33 AM

No way I thought he's be 'the guy' in his first few months. I spent most of the time laughing at his luminous attire...

DAMN iNATOR 11-19-2012 11:50 AM

For those who would rather just hit "play" than the link to the Cena debut vid...

Yea, forgot bout the lazies.

I tried embedding every which way with all the code options and it wouldn't work. Now I am stuck @ work and can't even get to Youtube w/o the IT police coming to my desk asking why I circumvented their web filter.

Too tired & hungover from SS last night, good times.

Cena fans still suck :foc:
