[12345cosi]

Cena 2006-2012 sucks -.-

Cena 2002-2005 rocks :D

[WolfHoundKing]

@12345cosi you haven't seen 2012 yet maybe cena turns heel

[12345cosi]

@WolfHoundKing I hope so , then he kicks Masked Kane, CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio's Ass at the Royal Rumble in a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE Championship with Special Guest Referee Y2J ;D

[KillHaterLoveLikers]

@WolfHoundKing He did already but is in progress

[Hege190]

if you ride with me then you ride the ChainGang

[certifiedteam1995]

how much u wanna bet that little boy can't stand Cena 3:19

I THINK U BETTER RECOGNISE

[RateDTD]

@certifiedteam1995 Haha, I bet you he misses the old Cena as well.

[certifiedteam1995]

@RateDTD yeah chain gang 4 life but the cenation is just a pond 4 his always do the right thing never lose don't even attempt 2 make some kind of heel turn just spit 1 bar once a week and stop telling them corny ass jokes

I THINK U BETTER RECOGNISE

[Joeki11a]

This wouldn't work today, he would look silly at 30+ doing this stuff

[12345cosi]

@Joeki11a it woud be better then :You can't see me!''

[jfresh195]

crazy ass black kid



[ThePackers18]

what the hell happened to this cena? so depressing

[stormman23]

HUGE fan no matter what but plz WWE bring back this Chain Gang Soldier..

[beilmandulin]

The only time ARCHIE Manning will get any love is with a throwback worn by Cena here

[11Emanny]

if they went bak to this cena, ths wud b how th fans react. not wit the boos n stuff. put this cena against th rock n u got a REAL match.

[Champ2919]

@11Emanny Exactly! I've been saying this for months, but others have been saying that Cena will still be booed. I disagree.

[ForteCrossHelzRollin]

Notice that 66 REAL Cena fan's liked this video, and one 10 year old kid wet his pants when he saw the old Cena. He immediately proceeded to hit the dislike button before his mom cut off his internet.

[ForteCrossHelzRollin]

Honestly, this was my first time watching Cena. Since then, I've been a die-hard cena fan.... up until it became Cenation. I think the Cena of today needs to come out doing this stuff, and about 99.9% of his fans will swarm back to him =D

[TheJaymike91]

pause at exactly 0.22........its hilariousee!!!!!!!

[staynez]

Even kids liked John Cena back then. (3:18)

[MultiPring]

@kdog120587 Oops sorry I misread your original post. Nonetheless, I'm not sure fruity pebble Cena will do that. He already admitted he's happy with what he has become. I just wish he'll let go of the jorts since he's not rapping anymore.

[MultiPring]

@kdog120587 LOL... are you saying this because of the dos Sin Caras situation?

[StamfordSupernova]

WE FIGHT TOGETHER, WE RIDE TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW WE GON GET LOUD TOGETHER!!!

[bfiesty]

John cena was a G

[BrandTanooki]

Ah... when Cena was actually good. If he would ever go back to these days, I'd like him again.

[XxUntouchablexX777]

in 2011 if cena went out to the crowd like that he wouldve got jumped by the cena haters

[XxUntouchablexX777]

the good ol days

[canada1997gh]

the doctor of thuganomics was on his way to a legendary career but his career is going in the dump!!!

[reyfuego360]

sucks that John Cena cant go back 2 this character this what made me like him. He used more wrestling moves, had better mic skills, and was more funnier

[Macho1985Man]

@reyfuego360 He didn't use more moves.

[kashbrody11]

@Macho1985Man yes he did but dosnt anymore

[willnotdiemh]

hes the only one who can be heel and get a cheer like that.

[mrdragonballz418]

The doctor of thugonomics:awesome

The chaingang solder:awesome

PG cena:fuck you

[megadethfan891]

[waliasaheb]

[shocktonic]

[waldidou31000]

[Monzur1994]

Cena is secretly trying to lift the PG era

[iSterlynnn]

2003 to most 05 he was cool til the Angle feud , he started qettinq borinq

[kidblaze101]

he made the U.S championship back then!!! so sick!!! now its trash

[kashbrody11]

@kidblaze101 dude i saw a picture of it its cool as hell

[wwfattitudeDXY2J]

thumbs up if you're a member of the chain gang! :)

[wwfattitudeDXY2J]

@wwfattitudeDXY2J i mean the real chain gang, not cenation

[iSterlynnn]

i use to be in the chain gang but they chanqed it to cenation :(

[StrangerRandom]

I noticed the Cena boos started at the end of 2005? because that's when WWE gave Cena too many title wins, BIG MISTAKE. Like winning against Jericho, Kurt Angle, Michaels etc. But the most hate was probably in 2006+2007. He was drafted to RAW in 2006 and his whole gimmick changed :(((

I noticed the day after he was drafted to RAW he started giving those never give up speeches, that pissed me off lol

[mdjmxt]

Chain Gang is tha Real Game, but it also was the begining for the Cenation! :(

i dont like this new Cena as tha Heel Raper, but it doesnt matter how he changed i will be a Cena Fan 4 ever!

[TheEmanuel555]

Man! That Kid went crazy when he got the manning jersey! I would have the same reaction as well :P

[MrAshu54]

I wish I had time machine to change things.

[101shakil]

the kid got so happy when cena gave him the shirt

[xxxMessi209xxx]

wat happened to the fist i luved wwe back then

[condeguga]

I belong to the chain gang not to cenation!

[iHaveBadFriends]

Chain Gang>Cenation, F-U>Attittude Adjustment, Thumb and Pinky handsign> Three Finger circle handsign, Throwback Jerseys> Gay fruity pebbles t-shirts. Thumbs of with this and show your a REAL Cena fan

[SuperOldschool89]

@iHaveBadFriends a true cena fan would remember the good times but also be ok with the cena now too.

[iHaveBadFriends]

@SuperOldschool89 or you could like my butthole

[SuperOldschool89]

@iHaveBadFriends nigga you gay...

[cod4modernwarfare2ex]

@iHaveBadFriends Word Life>Chain Gang

[iHaveBadFriends]

@cod4modernwarfare2ex they were almost the same...still better than this shit

[WisdomeSage1989]

Wo listening to this promo first times since then and realising he was using the word from the song chain gang is the click.

[xXtwlight4evaXx]

Cenation has NOTHING on CHAIN GANG!!! 

[navieedful]

I m that over enthusiastic kid to whom cena presented the shirt since that night I became a die hard Cena fan and member of chain gang I miss those old days and specially that night....... but since this PG crap we can't see that same cena and chain gang also tragically died and these days this Cenation thing is absolutely LAME... RIP CHAIN GANG and DR of ThUgANomICS!!!

[xHoppzy]

R.I.P John Cena's Career

2002-2005

[missraw]

@xHoppzy That makes absolutely no sense. He's bigger than ever. Just because some bitter old-school WWE fans don't like Cena, doesn't mean that his career is over.

[UltraLobo11]

@xHoppzy He was a nobody in 2002..2003 to 2005

[NintendoFan802]

Now THAT'S the John Cena I like to see. Showin love for his fans, I like that.

[dylan9436]

cena needs this theme back

[purplesatin33]

@Shinkle85 And that's what kills me. He wasn't meant to appeal to kids, rappers never are. He was meant to appeal to the thug in every man, and women, because he is cute, :). Plus he's not as bad a wrestler as ppl say. I refuse to hate him because I know its not his fault he changed. It's just... sad.

[purplesatin33]

God what the hell happened to him? I hate it when people change...

[29ddboy]

Whatever happened to Rene Dupree'????

[yungmoneyD]

@29ddboy He wrestles in Japan with a whole new look.

[29ddboy]

Whatever happened to this great John Cena????

[ssj5haa]

the black guy freakin out at 3:38

[highonturd]

@ssj5haa that was hilarious

[WollieX3]

Well Damnn! cena Shit Calm Down !!! Im In CeNation & In ChainGang!

[YoungandWitty]

@bosnianpro1 he was a heel, for, like, 1 year. for 2003. after that he's been strictly face. during all his US title reigns, he was pure face. it was exactly the same. he just dropped off in 2007 to be a marine/soldier/whatever you call it and it was still good.

[YoungandWitty]

@bosnianpro1 not the same? dude, it was exactly the same! lol you can't tell me his diss on Carlito was in the toilet.

"his hair be looking liker a hundred brillos/in tv he bites apples, at home he bites pillows"

there's no way that's in the toilet

[Udayan105721]

bring back the Dr. of thuganomics......bring back chain gang !!!

[YoungandWitty]

@bosnianpro1 he rapped when he first got drafted to raw. the very first night. he rapped on Carlito, Chris Jericho on the first night, and Christian during the Raw Roulette. and 2006 was the year that his "The Champ Is Here" album came out. the Superman gimmick came about in 2008, when the family friendly stuff was introduced to WWE. he was a marine no doubt but he still was what he's best at: inappropriate.

[YoungandWitty]

@bosnianpro1 dude, he was nowhere close to a 5 year old superhero back in 2005-2008. Guaranteed he loved interacting with the kids and he supportred them, but he still was doing the rapping for a couple of years and he was still his TV-14 self even when he wasn't rapping. 

[pko322]

from 2:30 - 2:40 ....those things he said was in one of his songs called Chain Gang is the click

[YoungandWitty]

@bosnianpro1 how?

[TheHaloRed]

The little boy that got Cena's jersey just pissed his pants.

[CrueFest411]

@lancem00 why am i arguing with a kid u dont know shit

[lancem00]

@CrueFest411 You are the one who doesn't know shit. I know when the first cage match was held.

[CrueFest411]

@lancem00 good for u u prob took all that time to tell to look that up and tell me a fact u prob didnt know. just shutup were not talkin about cage matches idiot

[lancem00]

@CrueFest411 You're one to talk. You use improper grammar which means you failed english. And no I didn't look up the fact at all. I didn't get it from the internet. Idiot.

[CrueFest411]

@lancem00 what are u my fuckin teacher? tellin me how to speak? how about diss or yo u wanna start sum beef???u like dat? and u said u didnt look up that fact which means u did herb

[lancem00]

@CrueFest411 Retard the game Smackdown vs raw 2011 has random facts like that on the loading screen. So I didn't look it up on the internet.

[DFrank2k]

@CrueFest411 Nice Diss dude, that was funny

[DFrank2k]

Cena was cold back in 03-04 and most of 05, too bad wwe had to PG which fucking sucks. I bet u can rap on TNA Cena.

[L3GEND3SIXTEEN]

@DFrank2k You mean 2003 only.He was Face In 2004.

[DFrank2k]

@L3GEND3SIXTEEN He was good as a face too.

[ChrisBackster]

@L3GEND3SIXTEEN true but he still ruled the whole wwe ..... now that is PG rated WWE sux....bring back the good old times

[MrMegamohassan]

@L3GEND3SIXTEEN When did he turn face? in 2004?

[MahdiRanger]

@MrMegamohassan Some say late 03, but he was still more Tweener Face. but Mid 05 when he became complete Face.

[MrMegamohassan]

@MahdiRanger Okey thanks.......

[kashbrody11]

@MrMegamohassan when he rejected to be on team lesnar and then he joined team angle

[TheEmanuel555]

@L3GEND3SIXTEEN he still rap'd in 2004. he used to make fun of the bad guy. remember that rap with big show!

[TheTonyAndMattShow]

@DFrank2k Fuck TNA. TNA sucks and will not have the ratings to survive the coming decade. WWE forever dude.

[DFrank2k]

@TheTonyAndMattShow For the first time in YEARS Cena finally rapped last night on Raw and it was on the Rock punk ass. John Cena owned him.

[YoungandWitty]

@DFrank2k you didn't like him during his 06-08 days? those were still TV-14 days.

[DFrank2k]

@YoungandWitty I dont really remember Cena in the 06-08 Days cuz i just watched it off and on during those years.

[MrAshu54]

@DFrank2k Not in 2005 bcoz he won wwe title at wrestlemania and he got changed.

[TheLordofwar27]

@DFrank2k why can't cena rap anymore???

that gangsta is realy good at it!!!!!

[DFrank2k]

@TheLordofwar27 Its because back then his raps were completely freestyle and thats why he got away with saying so much of what he was saying on tv, but they started cracking down on tv after the janet jackson superbowl half time incident (Thanks alot Justin Timberlake). So after that he had to run his raps by so many people and so he said he'd quit rapping all together than to say something thats watered down and stupid.

[TheLordofwar27]

@DFrank2k soo cena wanted to stop.

but i realy want this bad ass back at wrestle mania 28.

[DFrank2k]

@TheLordofwar27 Yep, he said he'd rather not rap at all then to have people edit his raps. You're not alone, i want cena to rap again too. I was like WOW when he rapped on the Rock. That was cool and hilarious.

[TheLordofwar27]

@DFrank2k you are the man.

but we know cena won't ever get back to his self because of tha bitch vine mc.

hey i subed you wana sub back.

[216supafly]

@DFrank2k to many peoples surprise...smackdown was always pg...its just the fact that they are making it more kid friendly. raw is the only show that turned pg

[DFrank2k]

@216supafly yeah you're right. smackdown always was a step under raw. raw is their flagship show

[216supafly]

@DFrank2k and now they're equally shitty

[DFrank2k]

@216supafly Yeah, you bout right too

[dds2190]

Hate how WWE watered down Cena to make him cater to kids. This vid shows that Rapper Cena could have been huge w/ the kids just as much as "Super" Cena is now, and kept the adult fans at the same time.

[TheHaloRed]

Chain Gang > Cenation

[FishleerLowify]

@TheHaloRed Chain Gang Was For TV-14 But Gaynation Is For Kids

[puunjabirockstar]

cena loves the fans he loves to go in the audience plzz bring back this cena

[Shippudenproduction]

@puunjabirockstar put this begging in wwe.com suggestions

[lancem00]

@bosnianpro1 In 06 he did rap/insult k-fed.

[lancem00]

@CrueFest411 No. It's not the night it went down hill.

[dds2190]

Black guy @ 3:37 is going nuts!

[CpHakR1]

DUDE YOU ARE THE GREATEST. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL THIS SHIT FOR SO LONG.

[Dequante1000]

@luchaxwhore I know i do to wow i don't know what happened to damn it just stopped being this entertaining every since 2008.

[Joker051689]

The match that took place that night was John Cena vs Renee Dupree. It was a quick match. Eddie Guerrero and Booker T were arguing over what order their names should be said for when they tag team. My friends appeared when JBL came out. They were holding a sign that insulted JBL.

[Joker051689]

I was 15yrs. old.

[Joker051689]

I am the kid with the sign at 1:29. I can prove it, the sign is posted on the wall in my room because it was my first time appearing on TV. I will take a picture with the sign and E-Mail it to y'all if you don't believe me.

[ChampionshipMaterial]

@Joker051689 lucky you You went a WWE event when WWE was actually interesting

[tthomaselli2]

@Joker051689

Glad for ya's.

[VancouverTriplePlay]

please show more john cena with these old school jerseys!

[1989ECW]

where the hell did you get this...?? i love it:D

[284Daedge284]

can you show us the match with john cena that night?

[Kram808]

So much for the Chain Gang it's all about the Cenation now haha. But I prefer the Chain Gang over the Cenation. But I got mad respect for the guy works his ass off.
