What was up with that gimmick in OVW? What was the basic gist, what did he do while he was still in it, stuff like that.

He was basically the future of wrestling, he had Kenny Bolin as his manager, and there were a few skits, including him doing business deals with Mark Cuban.

He had a blond buzzcut and ranted about being half man and half machine. Made me cringe when I saw it on youtube.

He had a few funny promo's that were pretty good in that gimmick. I saw him fight Rico in a dark match before Raw a fews years back under the name prototype. His "rewind" parts of the promos were pretty good.

The prototype gimmick was actually pretty cool when it started. It wasn't an "aw what an awfull gimmick" untill after he was done with it. I was actually dissapointed that he wasn't the Prototype when he was braught up to the main roster in 2002.
Basically, Cena started using the name Prototype in UPW. The gimmick was that he was a cyborg, therefore he did alot of machine like things. He couldn't be hurt, he didn't have emotion, he couldn't even be seduced by women. It was great.
Cena was actually pretty good with the prototype gimmick, bevause it wasn't just any old cyborg gimmick, as Cena incorporated his real-life personality into the gimmick. What people don't know about Cena, Is that he actualy has a goofy, Andy Dick like personality in real life, dosen't take life seriously and is basically a real goofball.
So the things that the Prototype said and did weren't normal, to say the least. A valet would jump on the apron and flash her butt at him to distract him, and he's turn for a second and say "...NO..", and then beat the guy.
When Mickie James asked cena out on that date a couple of weeks back, and Cena robotically and jokingly refused the attention, that was no doubt a play from his Prototype days.

Saw him live in a dark match in early 2001. I don't remember how I knew the name already, but I thought he was cool at the time for some reason. Look at him now!!!  |

I guess fair to say pretty much all the smarks love 'The Prototype" John Cena right.  |

I remember, for some reason, back during his "Prototype" days, the Apter mags were constantly comparing him, in looks anyways, to Sting without the face paint. Looking at Cena, I never really got that.

Looking at Cena, I never really got that. I remember this too. Although the gimmick seems like ass. A wrestling cyborg? Aren't we past the whole "superhuman" bullshit in pro-wrestling? Like, first of all, we as humans know there are no such things as cyborgs. Secondly, if he was the first cyborg ever built, he wouldn't be wrestling in front of 100 people. |

No we're not, do you not remember his WWE title run last year lol And To be honest, a wrestling cyborg wouldn't be the least believable thing we've seen in wrestling Finally, how do you know, maybe his creator when he first designed him couldn't get him to be photographed en mass with flash so he first entered him into OVW where the flash photography was minimal Did you ever think of that? Huh? Huh?  |

I guess I can accept a wrestling robot in a fed that also had a wrestling humanoid sea monster who eventually became part of the clergy.
I looked it up on Youtube and saw something where Cena said:
"I look in your genetic lunchbox, and find a peanut butter sandwich...WITH THE CRUSTS OFF!"
That is so stupid it's cool. I gotta see more of this.
