Did anyone notice that Cena was throwing on his old accent a little? He definitely had some off his Thuganomics twang going on...my wife even had to double take from the way some of his words were sounding.

Yea I heard it too. Guess since Cena is smackdown's champ against he naturally reverts back to his last smackdown gimmick.

I did notice it. He even used his old "come get some" catchphrase.

Yeah, I noticed it. In all honestly, it was one of those things that was so cringe inducing, I had to zone out for some of it. It was so bad it embarrassed me.

Absolutely. Sounds like he got re-certified in Basic Thuganomics.

It reminded me of that episode of Friends where Joey acted like he was 19 and going around saying "That's Whack".

They sell him as this real guy who doesn't change, what you see is what you get, but depending on the city/situation he has a different accent every week. I think stuff like that adds to the hate.

Sounds like a small thing for others to overanalyze and blow up to me! Or just another piece of an overall presentation that annoys the piss out of people. That's the funny thing about Cena. When he's wrestling, in the ring, I dig the guy. But his shtick is so beyond lame and forced it's embarrassing sometimes. |

As to overanalyzing, when a guy gets as much mic time as Cena, a chameleon accent can be distracting as hell. Look, if I'm watching a movie and the lead actor switches from accent to accent throughout the film, it's going to start to bug me. What would you rather have, someone switching from New England to Mississippi accent almost at random, or someone pulling a Sean Connery and just saying "Screw you, I know the character is Russian but he speaks with a Scottish accent, deal with it". I'll take the latter. |

Now THAT is awesome. I like when wrestlers do promos in a different language to connect with the fans of that country. I remember Miz cutting a promo in French at Breaking Point and thinking it was really cool. |

They sell him as this real guy who doesn't change, I've never understood this explanation as to why Cena's character doesn't change, as if to imply people never change over time. Pretty sure I've changed a great deal as a person over the past 7 years. |
