Backstage Stories of John Cena Playing Politics/Being a Dick

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Inspired by the recent post about how he told a new WWE writer he wasn’t going to learn his name since he’d be gone by next week.

He threw a stage hands cell phone into a plate of food!

[kingoftheindies]

Him insisting on kicking out of the DDT to the Floor against the Nexus after Edge and Jericho both told him it was a bad idea.

Outside of that? Most of it is he said she said.

Kenny Dykstra said that Mickie James was cheating on him with John while he was injured and that Cena got him fired.

Tyler Reks also said that Cena got him a lot of heat for his finisher being too close to the AA.

Cena also didn't want to work with Kennedy for him being seen as unsafe (and he did injure Cena once) and had some heat with Riley.

These ones remind me of some of the other difficult to verify ones
Didn’t Michael Tarver say Cena Intentionally injurd him or something like that?

Also, similar to the Kenny/Mickie thing wasn’t Cena “the other guy” at one point in Matt Hardy/Lita saga. I know Edge is the one everyone remembers but I think there was gossip of something going on with Cena years ago to. Like she was making out without Cena at a party Matt was also at or something like that.

Is there some context to this? It could speak more to a terrible culture with WWE writers that they have a high turnover. At the penitentiary I started out at in 2009, officers didn't want to learn my name until I'd been there at least a year, specifically because of the high turnover.

Edit: Nevermind, the very next thread I clicked on explained it. I stand by Cena on this one, it wasn't him being a dick.

I know Kenny spread a couple stories about Cena including being with Victoria... which Victoria confirmed but also stated that both she and Cena were not in committed relationships at the time.

I have never heard Lita romantically linked with Cena ever.

Only other person I heard Lita date was Punk.

Tarver did try to claim that Cena broke his arm with a chair purposely.

Except everything I can find says he was out with a groin injury, and they wrote him out of the Nexus with John Cena attack him with the stairs because he was injured already... if he had a broken arm they wouldn't have sent Tarver out to the ring.

It just sounded like Tarver was just spreading shit to get people to talk about him again, because he was pretty terrible.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Did anyone mention how Cena ruined Summerslam 2010 by playing politics, ignored the advice of two more experienced coworkers because he thought he knew better than them, and stunted seven careers?

Oh, everyone did?

Yeah, Cena's an asshole. He's a charitable asshole, but he's an asshole.

[mizerable]

Honestly, I think that worked shoot promo on Roman is pretty dickish.

It makes Roman look like he isn't worthy, which is obvious enough...but Cena was leaving anyways.

Oh and then Cena loses to the guy who isn't worthy. And not a single f*** is given.

I really hate shoot promos because a lot of the time it just makes everyone look bad. The lone exceptions are the Joey Styles and Punk promos... despite not being a huge fan of either guy. They had a legit gripe...Cena really didn't.

That one is on the management and Roman himself. If they didn’t trust Roman to hold his own, or Roman didn’t think he could, someone should have said something. Cena did his job well while Roman failed miserably.

Ever notice how most of the guys who bitch about Cena are pretty much garbage at being a pro wrestler? Tarver, Reks, Riley, Kenny. Maybe Cena thinks you suck because you do in fact suck.

How to build new stars by 2017 John Cena:

- Bitch at Vince to give you that 16 title reign after being away for 4 months, killing AJ's momentum and the entire main event scene on Smackdown while you're at it.

- Do that in exchange for killing the momentum of Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania after they spent the last year rescuing their popularity. Complain the whole time that you'd rather be wrestling someone else, leading to fans wondering what the point is.

- Have your stupid insincere engagement at Wrestlemania, taking up about 10 minutes of time that could have gone to Aries and Neville. Immediately both of you piss off from TV for over 3 months.

- Return in time to completely kill the credibility of Roman Reigns. Also kill his crowning achievement this year by calling Undertaker an old cripple, making it look even worse that you'd rather wrestle him than Miz.

Reks wasn't garbage. Creative had nothing for him (Their last attempt was a male stripper gimmick) and he was making more money as a personal trainer than WWE was paying him anyway.

[Abdullah]

He drunkenly tried to beat up Carlito for 'not applying himself'.

But Carlito remembers that fondly and says it's an example that Cena wants others to succeed, as opposed to tearing them down.

Thank you. I absolutely loved Tyler Reks. Awesome look, cool power moveset, and his kinda Burning Hammer put the AA to shame.

His burial of Baron Corbin, though most seem to blame Corbin for his Twitter shenanigans. Cena certainly didn't help.

The burial of Corbin isn't what strikes me, it's the public nature of it. Some of the in-ring trash talk that we weren't "meant" to hear cut a little too close to shoot territory.

Between Reks, Dykstra, and Michael Tarver, I like the idea that Cena plays the political game but he has such a terrible eye for who his threats are that no one ever really makes a convincing case about it.
