Who cares about JOhn Cena, he is such a joke of an “athlete”. I would rather build designer baby furniture all day than watch one of his boring matches.

Agreed Hunter, Maybe that post will go untouched like my earlier ones clearly didn’t.

I’m actually posting my name to this

(thanks for the advertisement on that post that you edited, If your editing something to try to make someone out to be a homosexual try to make it less obvious. Hugh GVagina really that’s an oxymoronic name coming from a supposed homosexual who has incestuous sex with ones own father.)

“what does it make a wrestling writer who signs up on an MMA website to insult them?”

A person pointing out the obvious.

If you don’t want to be insulted, don’t publish insultingly stupid material. The least you could do would be to bother to actually put some time and research into your writing and not try so incredibly hard to look as ambitiously stupid as this ‘analysis’ would suggest you are.

Least you could do would be to write me a ‘thank you’ letter. I’m actually helping you here, but you’re too busy being ULTIMATE~! Nothing gets people to take you ‘seriously’ like desperate attempts to prove their the shiniest moral turd in the toilet bowl. Keep providing us with more ‘crack’ analysis.

Me, I’ll go write a blog about how Magglio Ordonez not being a wrestling fans hurts my feelings and pretend people give a shit.

Sweep the leg,

My girlfriend looked over at this picture last night and laughed so hard she almost cried. Good form, CP.

Sounds exactly like that to me . What do farts taste like……………… I have too much respect for the people involved to tell that story, ask around though someone you know should be able to tell you how I know.

You do know my dad, don’t you?

Calling someone out for an Internet fight seems a bit too "Pro Wrestling" to me. 

And how do you know what farts taste like?

Hey Mike, why don’t you use an audio blog to call Hunter out if you have teeth to record one. This article tastes like farts

And MMA doesn’t have a steroid problem?

Puppiiiieeesssss

 So if "MMA has a stupid, obviously molested and shrill fan base" and the MMA media "is more concerned with fighting with a pretend television show which makes it look like the constantly evolving tropes within the sport,"
what does it make a wrestling writer who signs up on an MMA website to insult them?

I’d love to hear your insight on THAT, Hunter Golden. Nice touch with the grammatical and punctuation mistakes. 

The Big Red Word Nerd is Hunter Golden.

At least use a throw away email when you register just to troll an MMA website.

Well, we can take solace that after so many years, Cena’s still a terrible technical wrestler and everyone outside of his pre-teen fanbase hates his ass.

My eleven year old watches MMA with me all the time. The other night I walked by his room and saw WWE on. Gotta say I got a little choked up when he flipped channels and told me, “Dad that stuff is stupid,why don’t they just fight?”

Who gives a flying fuck if wrestlers die or hurt themselves? let them die..if he’s worried about kids watching a dangerous sports what about the countless kids who’ve been injured copying their ludicrous moves?? top rope shit…cage jumps..slamming chairs off their backs…yeah real safe John.
I nearly killed a neighbours kid when I was 12 with a DDT…badly hurt his neck..I knew it was going to hurt the little fucker..but at least when my old man whipped me I could blame Jake the snake….another kid smashed his brother with a 2×4 ala Hacksaw Jim Dugan

“regulated entertainment that’s safe for anyone to enjoy”

I would like to take this moment to inform you of some recent WWF/E story lines, involving:-

- Rape
- Incest
- Necrophilla
- Drugs
- Abuse of disabled people
- Bastard children
- Dementia and abuse of mentally disabled people
- Death
- Terrorism
- Racial sterotyping
- Homosexual sterotyping
- Objectification of women
- Using death of wrestlers to promote the company and its stars
- Old person gives birth to a hand
- Ritual Sacrifice
- Live sex
- Live burial
- Use of multiple weapons during fights including and not limited to: Barbed wire, cars, hammers, nails and fire.
- Murder
- Torture
- Kidnap
- Blasphemy
- Feeding other people the remains of their dead pets (seriously)
- Alchohol Abuse
- Transexual Intercourse
- Pornography
- Stalking

So overall Mr. Cena, if I had children, I’d much rather they see a guy get punched in the face. However if you wish for your kids to see all of the above, good luck to you …

So a non-MMA guy says that he’s not an MMA fan and wouldn’t take his kid to see it. Who cares?

And if you’re going to knock the guy, at least get your facts straight. The WWE’s pretty much been a PG company for the past 2-3 years. The product was seedier in the past to be sure, but the dynamic has changed dramatically. In the context of the present, I don’t see how he’s that hypocritical.

And what’s with MMA’s homoerotic infatuation with pro wrestling and their fans anyway? Pro wrestling is a TV show. Like Sopranos, Law and Order or the Simpsons. They have a guy like John Cena and he solves problems and slays dragons just like Tony Soprano whacked opposing mob bosses and put out fires caused by his bungling side kicks. MMA is a sport – a game with rules that dictate the outcome of their bouts. There’s really no correlation outside of the fact that they’re both on ppv.

If MMA fans are baffled as to why their sport hasn’t recieved the credibility of OTHER sports – it’s for reasons like this. Their ambitiously stupid, obviously molested and shrill fan base and media is more concerned with fighting with a pretend television show which makes it look like the constantly evolving tropes within the sport are not interesting enough to talk about. It’s like the NFL ‘calling out’ a member of the cast of ‘Friday Night Lights’ because they’re not a football fan. Why don’t more people talk MMA? Because it’s not interesting. Just ask the media that covers it.

What a stupid, stupid story. *Facepalm* for MMA with this stuff.

“lameness” Great word, keep using it.

It’s a shame Vince isn’t interested in MMA vs Pro. Wrestling PPV. Settle that debate once and for all. Brock lesnar vs Rey Mysterio seeing as weight classes mean nothing in pro wrestling. High-fucking-lairious. Anyone remember that Daniel Puder, Kurt Angle thing a few years ago? Dana and Daniel were ready, Kurt and Vince weren’t.

IT’S STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!!

….at least the rampant steroid abuse is. The Chris Benoit story is particularly disturbing. Some website (was it this one?) linked another website chronicling all the pro wrestler deaths, the vast majority were from heart disease (or other similar problems) before their time. John Cena’s probably speaking on behalf of his swelling brain, the WWE is clearly more dangerous than MMA, why?
One word
TOMBSTONE!

Just playing devil’s advocate here, but Cena’s point has one thing going for it. MMA may be inherently violent but the UFC doesn’t encourage the people involved to ever step up from the gutter in their production. Carwin’s post fight “fuck” laden interview and every freaking corner cam of “You won that fucking round. You’re fucking him up good out there. You’re beating the fucking shit out of him. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.” gets really tiresome and is part of why MMA gets the thug sport image.

The WWE has cleaned up their on air product from the time of the video you posted, but that is mostly to deflect from their horrendous safety record and high death and addiction rates of ex employees (something MMA is having a budding problem with like when this started in wrestling).

And furthermore, if this isn’t just company line, why does John Cena have to like the UFC? It’s not for everyone but some people enjoy it. Just sounded like an opinion to me.

Who cares what he says? by the way Owen Hart died from a horrific accident Not suicide or Drug Overdosing. Clever clever. Merlin should learn to not be retarded. Continue on this is fairly amusing.

I can’t really believe that people watch professional wrestling past the age of 9… I don’t even know how to file this information as “relevant”.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

C’mon man, we all watched it up to about 15-16, and its not relevant, its about as relevant as wooden deck skateboards with rubber wheels and trucks, no longer relevant but fun memories. Peace out dude

I can’t really believe that people watch professional wrestling past the age of 9… I don’t even know how to file this information as “relevant”.

@fatbellyfrank Oh man you just mentioning elbow drops off the couch has me missing the days of setting up cardboard boxes on the trampoline in my backyard and pulling a frog splash or swanton bomb off the monkey bars like it was the top turnbuckle! Ah the sweet memories of youth, that’s why I’ll always remember wrestling

@easy, yeah Jake the Snake, Brutus the Barber, Greg the Hammer Valentine, Nikolai Volkoff, George the Animal Steele, Takes me back to droppin elbows on my kid brother of the back of the couch!!

@ Knerplesammich

I didn’t watch that shit. Ever.

Uh… me no rikey dees wrestring.

WWE is Fucking lame, always has been,….. Wrestler John Cena is part of the lameness,….thereby by proxy, he too is lame,…..and his comments don’t bother me in the slightest. Everyone has aright to speak their mind.
Smash him over the head with a chair again. Give him another syringe of juice…..iss all good.

As sad as this is to admit, I still watch wrestling (as much as this causes me to question my sanity) and I really don’t see why what John Cena said is so bad…I’ll admit he’s a douche and I can’t stand the guy, but it’s like Dana said in his interview with Ariel Helwani, the sport isn’t for everyone…and we should respect someone who respectfully speaks his mind about it

If it aint Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock or Rob Van Dam talkin’, I don’t wanna hear shit from a wrestler. Especially from Hulk Hogan 2.0 over here. It’s amazing how the face of this circus franchise could knock the UFC as generally below their level but yet they let friggin’ Rampage host their now-shitty ass monday night soap opera. There’s not even any more wrestling matches on Mondays; just fuckin’ Real World-esque drama filled promos. Also, everything is so scripted to the bone that they stay in character on Twitter & Facebook. That’s plain pathetic. John, you’re no superhero. You’re no soldier. You’re no Marky Mark. You’re just Vince McMahon’s little plaything. For the time being, he’s ‘Andy’ and you’re his new ‘Buzz Lightyear’. But dont stay comfy. Like ReX said, fuck a John Cena. And to add to that, fuck Linda McMahon and her senate campaign, fuck Stephanie McMahon…literally…but also because her creative skills just plain suck, and fuck Vince for letting this all happen.

P.S. This has been bothering me for some time. WWE is trying to appeal to kids, I get it. My question is: WHY?!?! The fucking Raw show starts at 9pm on a fucking SCHOOL NIGHT. And it gets physical too. What decent parent lets their young kid stay up past their bedtime to watch this shit? It’s meant to be watched by at least teenagers. And it’s hypocritical how they cut off cussing, yet they still allow the little kids to see these girls wearing the skimpiest shit to….wrestle??? There’s so much more… but I’ll just leave it with saying fuck you very much WWE, you’ve now become Jessica Alba’s movie roles: not to be taken seriously.

@Shitbag I respect the old school but I got to admit its a little before my time, but I will agree the Hulkster lifting Andre the Giant is one of the greatest moments ever in wrestling.

@fatbellyfrank No Love for Jake the snake?

@Shrigs

There were plenty in the older generation who knew the “ins and outs” of the business. I grew up with ECW myself, and to this day I still enjoy watching japanese wrestling. But it seems that WWE is just ignoring that older crowd, and in all honesty, many from that crowd have moved on to MMA.

Damn it Rex…My only thought when I read the article was “Fuck a John Cena”, and that’s all I planned to write as a comment, then I read down through the comments and you’ve stolen my thunder.

80′s NWA/WCW, and mid-90′s WCW was the shit…Anyone who acts like they didn’t watch wrestling during the nWo or WWE Attitude era is plain lying…It was as, if not more popular than UFC is currently. EVERYONE watched that shit.

Considering the decline of pro wrestling and boxing…in 10 years will we be talking about how shitty MMA is and how thankful we are that Donald Trump purchased XARM and turned it into a sport that rivals the NFL in popularity? I just threw up a little bit.

if you guys were wondering why it’s so watered down and “family friendly” it’s because linda McMahon is running for a political seat. i want to say senator or something, but i never paid much attention in gov. class or to the news.. but thats the whole reason why it’s gettin so soft.. as far as the talent goes.

the talent was gone a long, long time ago.. they are barely holding on to the ones that made the company. shit, jerry lawler is more of a wrestler than most of the pussies on monday night.

Yes, such a regulated “sport” that wrestling is, and the guys/girls are true role models. I mean watching an elderly woman give birth to a hand or of course there was the Katie Vick/necrophilia angel, I know this is great for kids.

Not sure I agree with the Hunting/Butcher analogy. Butchers rely on hunters for their business. WWE is losing a lot of fans to actual combat sports

@ Shitbag, hell yeah man, Rowdy Roddy Piper, British Bulldogs, Hart Foundation, Superfly Snuka, Macho Man Savage, Iron Sheik, ah the good ol days, well, its time for Pops Fatbelly to have his nap, soI’m gonna watch me some Jake Shieldzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and dream about the good ol days, no AIDS, no mobile phone’s,….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@MaximumSpaniard

I think you’re right. The WWE is pretty family friendly nowadays. No more blood, no more guys going through cages and what not. No Tables, Ladders Chairs craziness.

I think the WWE people tow the company line about it being family friendly because that’s the only way they’re going to be drawing an audience these days. The older generation of WWE fans mostly has given up on them I’d say (internet+wwe=bad combination, if you ask me). So they look to the younger crowd now.

I love boobs.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh, and the only reason I clicked on this article is to say that is the most brilliant head line I’ve ever read.

@easy21 Damn son, that was no golden age of wrestling! Back in my day I was a fan of the REAL golden age of wrestlin, with Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.

In all honesty, as a fan of Pro Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts, I’m a bit surprised to hear this from John Cena. Sure he’s not the greatest wrestler, but he’s always been a very respectful guy in interviews regarding just about anything. That being said, although this is EXTREMELY tame compared to what other ignorant celebrities/athletes/politicians have said, I think it’s the only negative opinion Cena has ever had about anything.

He’s not necessarily an “idiot” though. Just ignorant. It seems as if the WWE has been pretending that they were always TV-PG. It brings me back to an old interview with Vince McMahon himself in 2008 where he blasted rival company TNA Wrestling for being TV-14 (almost immediately after WWE went TV-PG). Honestly, I assume that Vince just tells his employees to bring up how “family friendly” WWE is whenever they are given the chance. Cena’s just an employee doing what his bosses ask of him.

It’s also well documented that Vince McMahon does not particularly enjoy the existence of the UFC, and views it as a threat. This is likely an underlying reason why WWE is aimed at children nowadays.

@Frank Mur: So what you’re saying is that you want to see more of James “Black Don Vito” Toney?

Has wrestling always been that lame or has shit gotten that bad? I’m a child of the golden years of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, The original Undertaker (not that old man posing as a biker) and Kane. Me and my friends still reminisce about the days of the Monday night wars, NWO, Degeneration X, and Stone Cold Stunning everybody in a twenty foot radius. Watching that “highlight” was very depressing

Damn, Test is dead? Didn’t know that….

Ok, fair disclosure: i grew up with pro wrestling, as i imagine many of us did. i remember Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA, the Road Warriors and the Rock N Roll Express were the best tag teams ever, and i hated Ric Flair with a passion. I can appreciate that these guys are tough men who are skilled performers.

That said, fuck a John Cena.

They need more titties in MMA!

This is the same kid friendly WWE that had a storyline based on necrophillia, and another based around former weight lifter Mark Henry having sex with an octogenarian , then the old dear giving birth to a hand?
I used to watch the WWF when Rock and Austin where at their peak, but those two had charisma and where genuine entertainers who could hold a crowd in the palm of their hands, since they left , its got nothing, I’ll watch old stuff with Undertaker, Rick Flair, but the Cena era guys are Bland with a capital B, and dont have the ability to hold anyones attention for longer than about 3 seconds.

Pro wrasslin now is a very poor distant cousin to MMA and not worth lookin at IMO

So getting hurt while pretending to fight is ok, but getting hurt while fighting for real is not ok? Makes sense.

Well said Jimbonics.

Cena is not an idiot, good actor or original.
If you want to criticize Cena, the most important issue is that he turned WWF into WWE by becoming a follower(his whole character is based on Eminem) and not a trendsetter like the top wrestlers (The Rock, Austin etc..) of his time or at his time.
Wheteher or not he likes UFC, he has only helped the UFC by turning real pro wrestling fans off of pro wrestling and leaving them looking for other forms of entertainment.

hardcore wrestling fan 1 says:
Oh not this Eminem wannabe shitter again…
hardcore wrestling fan 2 says:
let’s see what else is on…. shit what’s this UFC thing?….fucking awesome man.
hardcore wrestling fan 1 says:
Oh shit look at the mohawk on that guy….shit he just dropped that guy with a left hook.
hardcore wrestling fan 2 says:
Nice.

Who’s John Cena?

Seems very tongue-in-cheek to me. I’m betting he got paid to say something on the matter, anyway. Everyone should have stopped believing he was serious when they read “it can be pretty over the top.”

@RWilsonR @DaltonSwayze

I agree with both of you. Cena, surprisingly, is relatively polite in his assessment. He just doesn’t seem to care for UFC but doesn’t put it down in any way or recommend that other adults don’t watch it. His comments, atleast to me and apparently you two as well, aren’t really in the least bit inflammatory.

The comment about professional wrestling being safe for everyone to enjoy, etc is a little misguided. There are plenty of middle america idiots that backyard wrestle and damn near kill themselves, but this statement has little to do with MMA.

So I guess, yeah, he’s kind of an idiot.

But we knew that, I thought?

John Cena is… The Marine! THEY TOOK HIS WIFE!!

@ fatbellyfrank:

I was thinking more like a bigger CB Dollaway without the harelip.

I’d say in all honesty, UFC is PG-13.

As in, I’d let a 13 year old watch it. Sure, there’s an F-bomb here and there, but a 13 year old is exposed to faaaaaar worse shit than MMA these days, what with the intertubes and such. If you don’t think your 13 is exposed to worse shit AT SCHOOL, surrounded by their peers, you either aren’t paying attention, or you homeschool your child.

And, I think the WWE is worse for a child than MMA. Easy. Every one of those jokers juice, and none of the women are without implants. It’s General Hospital for rednecks.

Hes like Vanilla Ice on roids

Why does his “bling” look like it’s made from Scrabble pieces?

@ Merlin, Owen Hart died as a result of faulty equipment, but yeah, the death toll of pre 50 yr old pro wrestlers is horrific,
John Cena is entitled to his opinion as we all are, I dont know why anyone bothers paying attention to it though.

Well at least they do drug testing in the UFC John “Juice” Cena …

Also how many MMA fighters do you know of who have died from a drug over dose or suicide?

How about wrestlers, OK off the top of my head :
Eddie Guerrero
Chris Benoit
Rick Rude
Test
Owen Hart
Bam Bam Bigelow
Curt Hennig

Not only do I make my kids watch mma, I punish them for not showing interest.

Turdling – “Stop daddy! You’re hurting me!”

The Turd – “Maybe if you were paying attention you’d know how to escape this arm bar. “

WWE is regulated by what? The steroid manufacturer’s association?

I’m with DaltonSwayze on this. I read the quote, but couldn’t find the outrage. He doesn’t like it. So……..???

I’ve never felt that MMA is for everyone, and accepted that a good portion of people will never like it, no matter how much we try to tell them how awesome it is. But Cena also didn’t call for a ban of MMA, or tell us that we are idiots for watching, and real men only watch pro wrestling. He said he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t want his kids to watch, and he gave a slight over-estimation of his “sport” in comparison. Not really much there.

Although I did like the “hunting” and “butcher” analogy. That was pretty apt.

type in John Cena’s freestyle rap in youtube and you will see why this guy really is an idiot. Or just watch “The Marine”. No, no don’t watch the marine.

^Is what he would have said. Maybe.

“Yo, yo! Check it, 1-2, 1-2. Ain’t tryin to knock it, but I don’t let my kids watch it.

Not trying to hate it, just be safe & regulate it.

Way too over the top, like Mayhem Miller or Robocop.

So chill CP, no need to pout. I’m John Cena 1-2,1-2… I’m out!”

stingrza is correct. The WWE went to a PG rating for all their programming in 2008, and Cena is their top guy because he’s the most “family-friendly” performer on the roster. Sure, Cena got over with the fans because of bloodbaths like the one you posted above, but don’t expect him to act like that has anything to do with the image the company currently wants to project.

I don’t really see what’s so offensive about what he said in the first place. WWE and UFC compete for fans, as evidenced by Brock Lesnar’s status as the UFC’s top draw. Do you really expect the WWE’s top draw to say he likes UFC, even if it is true? And John Cena’s the idiot…so, pot, I presume you have met kettle?

When did Gina Carano go blonde?

It seems like he just doesn’t like it, and he’s entitled to his opinion just like anyone else.

Since the violence is real in MMA, he finds it less palatable. He’s a performer, nothing more or less.

HOWEVER, he sucks because his mic skills are awful and it really hurts his feelings when he gets booed

The man has clearly been thrown into the turnbuckles too many times.

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cena’s not an idiot, he’s the ultimate company man. There’s a reason he’s been the WWE’s top player for over six years running now, despite being half as popular as a good chunk of the roster. No one gets to where he is by being an idiot. Dana White says some pretty insane, inflammatory stuff (on a regular basis), and no one is accusing him of being an idiot. It’s just propaganda and publicity.

On a side note, I got all excited to see Jillian Hall striped, but all she does in that video is get stripped. A real letdown for zebra fetishists everywhere.

What a total pennis. Is this guy serious? Especially on the heels of yet another middle aged professional wrestler dying of suspicious causes just this week (see hxxp://www.sescoops.com/wrestling-news/wwe-news/wwe-issues-statement-regarding-the-death-of-luna-vachon/) it would seem Cena is either a complete imbecile, blind/deaf to the locker room around him, or as the author puts it – simply a puppet for Master Vince… My vote goes for imbecile, and not just because of my MMA bias, but rather for my disdain for those who comment on topics they simply don’t have the first fucking clue about (see Sarah Palin, John Boehner, et al.) – ‘UFC is where boxing was years ago’ is only correct if he means 50 years ago when heavyweight boxing was king of this country which is exactly the current trajectory of UFC – once a $2M company, now worth $2B in less than 10 years… Solid observation Cena, keep them coming and I’m sure the offers will keep rolling in…

I watched that video for 45 seconds and when I came to, I was holding truck nutz.

PS – My knee ligamenttthhh are thhhoooo looooth, you guythh.

what an incredibly huge douche.
