JOHN CENA

July 2010

Invasion storyline- Refers to wrestling storylines in which a group of wrestlers come into a promotion and seem to be trying to take it over. One such angle was in 2001 from WrestleMania X-Seven to the Survivor Series relating to the World Wrestling Federation’s purchase of World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ). It involved the WCW wrestlers “invading” WWF television in an attempt to “take over” the WWF . In June 2001, the angle grew in intensity as the WWF storylines somewhat abated to make room for the central Invasion storyline. WCW and Extreme Championship Wrestling ( ECW ) merged to form The Alliance and challenged the WWF’s control over the wrestling industry.

soooooooo.......on Raw the season 1 rookies of NXT now known as the Nexus. This invasion started with the rookies destroying the ring, choking a ring announcer, attacking the announcers and just destroying John Cena.

July 20, 2010

Bret Hart returned to RAW last night to help John Cena face team Nexus ( 7 members) with Cena's 7 members:

Khali...Edge..Morrison..Jericho..... Orton .....Hart and Cena

WWE hopes to release in spring 2012. Cena's third movie, "Legendary," is scheduled for release this fall.

WWE John Cena Theme : The Time Is Now

your time is up
my time is now
you cant see me
my time is now
its the franchise, boy im shin' now
you cant see me
my time is now

in case you forgot or fell off im still hot - knock your shell off
my money stack fat plus i cant turn the swell off
the frachise,doin big business, i live this, automatic i win this-oh you hear those horns, im finished
a soldier, and i stay under you fightin
plus im stormin on you chumps like im thunderin and lightnin
aint no way you braken me kid,im harder thana nails plus i keep it on lock, like im part of the jail
im slaughtering stale, competition, i got the whole block wishin they could run in my division but they've gone fishin
with no bait, kid your boy hold weight, i got my soul straight, i brush my mouth with colgate
in any weather im never better your boys so hot you'll never catch me in the next mans sweater
if they hate, let'em hate,i'll drop your whole clan
lay yo' *** down for the three second tan

your time is up
my time is now
you cant see me
my time is now
its the franchise, boy im shin' now
you cant see me
my time is now

Yeah, uhh
It's gon' be what it's gon' be
Five pounds of courage buddy, base tan pants with a gold T
Uhh - it's a war dance and victory step
A raw stance is a gift, when you insist it's my rep
John Cena, Trademarc, y'all are so-so
And talk about the bread you make but don't know the recipe for dough though
Aimin' guns in all your photos, that's a no-no
When this pop, you'll liplock, your big talk's a bladen no-show
See what happens when the ice age melt
You see monetary status is not what matters, but it helps
I rock a timepiece by Benny if any
The same reason y'all could love me is the same reason y'all condem me
A man's measured by the way that he thinks
Not clothing lines, ice links, leather and minks
I spent 20 plus years seekin' knowledge of self
So for now Marc Predka's livin' live for wealth

your time is up
my time is now
you cant see me
my time is now
its the franchise, boy im shin' now
you cant see me
my time is now

your time is up
my time is now
you cant see me
my time is now
its the franchise, boy im shin' now
you cant see me
my time is now

Personal Quotes
You can't see me!

Word Life!

The Champ is here.

Whether fighting or spitting, my discipline is unforgiving!

If you want some, come get some!

I haven't backed down from a fight in my life, and I won't start tonight.

Kicking ass and taking names. Making checks and breaking necks.

I never back down, I never quit!

I regret nothing and fear less.

Live fast, fight hard, no regrets!

My time is now!

Last night on the Jimmy Kimmel tv show. John admitted to watching Stacy Kiebler on Dancing with the Stars. And if asked
he would try out for the show. By watching... he was showing his support for a WWE member he said.
______________

Info:

Cena's first televised WWE match was in answer to a (kayfabe) open challenge by Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002.
Inspired by a speech given by WWE CEO Vince McMahon to the rising stars of the company, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a place among the legends, Cena took advantage of the opportunity and almost beat Angle by kicking out of his Angle Slam and enduring the ankle lock submission hold. He ultimately lost, however, to a hard, amateur-style pin
Following the near-win, Cena became a face and was put into a program with Chris Jericho In October, Cena and Billy Kidman joined forces to take part in a tag team tournament to crown the first WWE Tag Team Champions of the SmackDown! brand, but lost in the first round
The next week, Cena turned on and attacked Kidman, blaming him for their loss.
_____________________

Cena first started training to become a wrestler in 2000 at the California-based "Ultimate University" operated by Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW). Once he was placed into an in-ring role, he began using a semi-robotic character known as The Prototype. Some of this period of his career was documented in the Discovery Channel program Wrestling School

_____________________________

On a Halloween themed episode of SmackDown!, Cena dressed as Vanilla Ice and performed a freestyle rap
The next week, Cena received a new gimmick: a rapper who cut promos in rhyme.
As the gimmick grew, he adopted a variant of the 80s WWF logo — dropping the "F" — as his "signature symbol", along with the slogan "Word Life".

Many rappers have stopped wearing the jerseys and caps of their favourite teams, Cena has kept the look and has often given the shirt off his back to fans at events at a cost of $400 a night.

John has a new entrance theme music. "Basic Thugonomics,"

The song features lyrics by Cena and his cousin, Trademarc, and a beat by 7L, part of the group 7L and Esoteric.

Cena Quote:
"I'm making a living as a wrestler and I'm not worried about anything else. I do this because I love it and I have a passion for it. I don't do it so I have enough money to afford a Mercedes.

Cena Quote:
"I have a Chevy Impala that I roll around in and a '89 Jeep Wrangler, which is the first car I ever bought. It has 180,000 miles on it, and that is my daily whip. I take that everywhere. Don't forget where you came from, that's why I'll never get rid of that Jeep."

Cena Quote"
Hulk Hogan is the reason I started watching wrestling, the reason why I kept watching wrestling, and he hooked me as a young boy in a way that really transcended the sport. There are other guys like Undertaker, Rock, Austin, Triple H, pretty much anybody who is a "superstar" in our business, but Hogan would be my number one pick.

His album's release date is being pushed back until around Christmas time. There is still no concrete release. With the extra time they've had, they've been creating a ton of music.

Also, it's true...John is slated to star in WWE's movie, tentatively entitled The Marine. John will play the lead role of the injured marine, who comes home from war to find his girlfriend caught up in a kidnapping. Vince McMahon had thought of giving the role to Steve Austin at first. Movie comes out in, 2005

YO YO YO..Dad bought me a CD:
"One of the first CDs I ever got was the Fat Boys' Crushin': "The Fat Boys are back/ And you know they can never be wack!" Right after that, everything just kind of fell into place. I wore that CD out, then everything else hit after that. I must have been 10.

On SmackDown!, John Cena brought the Kansas City crowd to its feet by wearing an autographed Derrick Thomas jersey and paying tribute to the late Chiefs linebacker. A nine-time Pro Bowl player, Thomas died on Jan. 23, 2000 at the age of 33 after a car accident and is remembered as one of the greatest Chiefs in history.(credit wwe.com)

At the WWE Royal Rumble 2004 event, when being throw from the ring for his elimination, JOHN CENA landed badly on his leg and knee, hitting the floor at a different angle to that of his leg. Officials gave the "X" sign...meaning he was unfit to continue in the match.
