You know, John Cena was a white rapper.

They never really straight up dropped it, they just transitioned it to something more main event-ish. I'm not saying the pirate gimmick was a success, but it was doing very well for itself given its position, and Paul
was getting some mighty pops. I think it could have gone somewhere with minimal tweaking.
I mean, fuck, "GUY THAT FUCKS HIS SISTER" isn't exactly main-event material, either. It's one thing that they went back to the drawing board, but then they came up with something even
less impressive.
