FU...no more
 
Quote:

Speaking of Cena, I hear his FU finishing maneuver is being renamed "The Throwback" which works for me and is certainly easier for me to communicate to my 5 year old granddaughter who's a Cena fan of sorts. It will be interesting to see how much knee jerk reaction this name change creates in the illustrious media. Knowing today's trends and the vocal minority of some fans who have enough product knowledge to be dangerous, too much.

I thought he already had a move called the throw back.

Ya know, back when he had more than 5...

As long as they don't remove the original throwback from the Smackdown series, I don't give a shit.

James Steele 01-10-2009 06:06 PM

The name would make more sense if they called it the "Cena Merchandise". He hasn't worn a throwback in ages. I also like the name "SLAM IS POOPY".

JT 01-10-2009 06:07 PM

VINCE: Thanks to our new direction, we will destroy everything that people liked about John Cena, and jam him down people's throats till people can't stand it anymore...We'll make millions. Anyone disagree?

***crickets chirp***

VINCE: Oh, that's right, I fired everyone who disagreed with me...I'm so awesome. :)

Jeritron 01-10-2009 06:08 PM

To be honest I don't think it's all that bad. I mean, the move and the guy giving it isn't going to be any better or worse from the change. The name was stupid anyways. It was funny as a parody of the F5, when he was in the midcard, but now that both of those things are long gone it's pretty pointless.

My two cents is, the name change is inconsequential here. Still, if they're going to change the name they might as well have him start using a new move altogether to accompany the name, since it sucks to begin with.
I've also seen a major move undergo a name change while staying the same in the middle of a run. Maybe early in a career, or with a promotion or gimmick change, but never like this.

JT 01-10-2009 06:08 PM

Anyone want to start a poll on what the STFU will be renamed as?

KingofOldSchool 01-10-2009 06:10 PM

They should just call it "Vintage Cena"

Anybody Thrilla 01-10-2009 06:10 PM

I don't really mind the change except for the fact that he already has a fucking move called the Throwback. They couldn't think of ANYTHING else to call it? Nothing at all? Come on.

Anybody Thrilla 01-10-2009 06:11 PM

Call it the fucking Cena Slam for all I care, but why take the name of a move he already uses?

James Steele 01-10-2009 06:11 PM

Cenation Deathlock

Xero 01-10-2009 06:11 PM

I bet Austin's going to give us a two-thumb salute at the HOF.

And DX is going to start telling us to "BRUSH IT!"

James Steele 01-10-2009 06:12 PM

When they were going with the whole "ANGRY CENA" thing against Jericho, it would have been the perfect chance to give him another finisher or at least start delivering the F-U like a DVD instead of a Fireman's Slam.

In my personal opinion, if this were the only change made then I wouldn't care. It's better marketing I guess. However, he's also giving annoying, heat killing promos and using terms like "poopy" to describe heels...all on top of the fact that he's constantly pushed onto us...changing the name of the FU is just another leaf to the pile for the disappointment we call John Cena.

Jeritron 01-10-2009 06:14 PM

Makes sense. DX gets back together about twice a day

James Steele 01-10-2009 06:15 PM

I actually think Cena could do a mean looking F5, but the move flopped when they tried to have Big Show and somebody else use it after Brock left.

Jeritron 01-10-2009 06:15 PM

Wrestling will only get edgy if the president is caught getting a blowjob in the oval office. It's all up to Obama to bring about change in WWE

That and the Five Knuckle Shuffle.

One of them is going to totally be named the Cenation.

James Steele 01-10-2009 06:20 PM

"Freestyle Fist Drop"

You kidding? Probably change it to "John Cena."

Which arguably is the same as "suck it," only less flagrant.

Or the Angry Cena thing against Randy Orton, or Edge, or

Etc. etc. etc.

He's Angry Cena like, anytime he has a serious feud (see: Not with Khali or Umaga).

Kane Knight 01-10-2009 06:25 PM

He's spoiling for a fight.

Jeritron 01-10-2009 06:28 PM

Fire the guy who uses these moves. Solves everything

Jeritron 01-10-2009 06:28 PM

He's spoilin for an asshole

I'm guessing:

Cena Unbeatable Now Tap

The C.U.N.T

Personally I am more offended by the former of the two.

Lock Jaw 01-10-2009 06:48 PM

They should change the STFU also if they're changing the FU. It's probably even worse than the FU.

Little Girl: "Daddy, daddy! What's that move called?"
Dad: "STFU! :mad:"

Xero 01-10-2009 06:50 PM

They'll start calling the STFU the Protobomb.

Kane Knight 01-10-2009 07:05 PM

YMCA! YMCA! STOLE COLD!

Fox 01-10-2009 07:07 PM

CENA: "The idea of the F-U is that I know it's not the most devastating looking move in the WWE or anything like that, but it's like Hogan and the leg drop, you know? When it happens, you know its the end of the match not because of the move, but because of the person delivering it."

ME: "You know people make fun of Hogan for that finisher, right?"

CENA: "I'm not aware of any such thing, no."

James Steele 01-10-2009 07:09 PM

Me: It isn't 1989 either Johnny boy...

Matt Morgan giving Big Show an F-5 through the announce table was pretty cool.

Mr. Nerfect 01-10-2009 11:37 PM

It sort of irks me when a wrestler takes an old move's name, and gives it to a new move. Goldust had his neckbreaker finish called "The Curtain Call" after he returned in 2002 for a while, but eventually they started calling it the "Director's Cut", I think. For a while Ron Simmons was having his Spinebuster called the "Dominator."

The Throwback is the name of John Cena's flipping bulldog move, but I guess that's just "whaddamaneuva!" now. The STFU will probably be renamed to the "HLR." Hustle, Loyalty, Respect, don't you know.

PorkSoda 01-11-2009 12:34 AM

I think they'll change the STFU to OMGWTFBBQ!

TapOut 01-11-2009 01:28 AM

In fitting with Cena's character, the FU should be called the "Happy Flip".

GD 01-11-2009 01:45 AM

FU: Lift and throw.
5 Knuckle Shuffle: Rub Shoulder and fist to the head.
STFU: Kamasutra postion # 99.

Afterlife 01-11-2009 02:01 AM

This is so lame. Will they also rename John Cena? Just call him Blandy B. Blanderson?

Juan 01-11-2009 05:23 AM

John Cena sucks
