After all these years with Cena's theme

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Has anyone for sure figured out what is really being said when APPLEDOUGH comes at the beginning?

[PsychoGoatee]

I don't think it's an actual word, brrrrrrrrABADOOOOOOOOOO is enough for me. It's almost more deep when it doesn't mean anything, it's avant garde and whatnot. Lay your ass down for the three second tan, ABADOOOOOOOO

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

It was revealed a while back when some rap group sued him for stealing the sample, apparently it's "VAMANOS!"

Call me crazy, but since we can hear that they aren't saying those syllables and letters, don't we know they aren't saying vamanos? If it's not decipherable as something audibly, can it be that thing? If appledough falls in a forest and nobody is around can u see me??

You'll never catch me in the next man's sweater, that's for sure.

BTW the song in question was Ante Up by the group M.O.P.

According to website rap.genius.com the lyric is Amadou! Which after a quick search on Google brought up a wiki entry about one Amadou Diallo a 23 year old immigrant from Guinea who was shot to death by four New York police officers under very suspect circumstances back in 1999.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Amadou_Diallo

The wiki article mentions the shooting was referenced in various songs by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Ziggy Marley.

So if this is all true, then all of this time the intro to John Cena's theme is a shout out to a homicide victim.

I remember being disappointed when in the weeks leading up to Mania 21 that Cena changed his theme, and then weeks after WrestleMania Batista changed his theme. I loved both of their original themes.

[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

It's the rapper Avenue, ain't it?

I've heard him yell his name just like that on a bunch of songs.

[percymania]

Fun fact: If you play the clip backwards, it says "Cena sucks"

[ededdneddy]

I always heard it as "Apple Juice"

[Allie Kitsune]

He should just change his theme to a Bumpy Knuckles song.

[The Foreigner™ in Playoff Mode]

After losing to Brock again, John will obsess about his inability to beat Brock's ass and will then focus on beating Rusev's ass.

This will lead to his theme changing to "I'm an Ass Man."

[Hobby Drifter]

I always thought it was his ex-wife's surname.

I honestly can't unhear "APPLEDOUGH" after these forums.

I still remember when Miz had just split from his tag team with John Morrison and said he was challenging John Cena. He came out one night using that music and dressed like Cena.

EDIT; nevermind...somebody already covered the M.O.P. angle...

[lesleymoon]

Yeah to me it is and ever shall be Appledough. Thanks FAN!

I would like it more without the "So, you think you're untouchable?" opening, where it just sounds awkward.

Besides, clearly, this is the best use of a Cena theme.

Whatever the word, I'm sure it translates to "CENA WINS" in some language.
