I'm not the first to observe that Cena's current character is basically a Frankenstein's monster of bits and piece of other wrestler's characters. His promos have an "Aw, he's trying to sound like The Rock, how cute" quality to them. They want us to believe he has an Austin-like unpredictable, anti-authority streak. He's probably the biggest hit with kids since Hogan. So let's see if we can identify all of the various aspects of Cena's character which are imitations of other guys. (Come on, a Cena-bash thread actually makes a nice change from all the Jericho threads, don't you think?  ) |

The FU is not a good finisher. I wish he'd do a DVD instead.

So you're essentially saying he's composite superman  |

You know why the Save_Us.222 threads get so large with overanalyization to the point of irrelevance? Because too many people are too well practiced at it with Cena. "Oh my god! He said 'the'. He's totally ripping off Jericho! And then he said 'is'! How much of this stone cold copying can they shove down our throats"  |

After Austin, Droz, Brock, etc., I'm glad Cena doesn't use the DVD. A botched one of those could mean a career-ending neck injury. I do wish he used a better-looking finisher, though.

 ::)What a load. Hogan's kid friendly? One of them tells kids to take their vitamins, one of them constantly makes sex related jokes. Yeah, totally kid friendly. Austin's anti-authority? I suppose Lashley is too, right? Cena goes after authority when authority has already gone after him. Regal protects Orton by giving him the night off the Monday after he punted Cena's father, and then rewards him with a title shot. Rock's promos? I don't see ANY connection. Unless you mean he mocks his opponents, makes fun of them in a way that's amusing to the audience and frequently makes perverted jokes. In which case, Rock ripped off DX. Seriously, this is ridiculous.

Every gimmick or character can be nitpicked like this, everyone since like the beginning of time.

Yup all the way back to  prior to his freezing Keyrock was the originator of the make fun of face annoucers when he once told Gene Okerlund- " You cavorted with the Cro-Magnons? you sick user of tools" |

What a bastard. |

What a bastard. In fairness, the dinosaurs best days were back in the Jurassic era. The only way they were still on top still in the Cretaceous was politics, pure and simple. Never giving new species a chance to rise to the top. Damn that  |
