The Champ Is Here?

[funakifan88]

I was just watching the Ring of Honor match where Punk wins the World Title and after the match he cuts a promo wherein he says "The Champ Is Here". This was on June 18, 2005. What I am wondering is, was Cena using this saying before June 18th or did CM Punk say it before Cena?

Just curious...

Right after he won the WWE title at Wrestlemania 21, I think. That Smackdown he said it, before he even changed the title.

Jadakiss mixtape-The Champ is Here(2004)---Samoa Joe used the song during his title run(2003-2004).

Think Cena got it from Jadakiss too.

Punk said the line it as a reference to Samoa Joe, who used 'The Champ is Here' by Jadakiss as his entrance theme in ROH

John Cena is a CM Punk wannabe, who is in turn a Samoa Joe wannabe, who is ultimately a Jadakiss wannabe, who is now apparently a Muhammad Ali wannabe, who turns out to be a Gorgeous George wannabe.

And Jada got it from the movie Ali. So, the credit should go to Muhammad Ali.
