Talk:John Cena

FU has a name change.

It is called the throw back and the attitude adjustment

According to a Jim Ross blog, Cena will now call the FU, The Throwback. Isnt that weird considering that Cena has hat front flip neck snap called the Throw Back?

According to the most recent JR's BBQ Blog, the STFU will be now going by STF, the regular name of the move. Thejka (talk) 18:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Both "Attitude Adjustment" and "STF" are now officially listed on John Cena's WWE.com Bio page. 98.222.193.229 (talk) 06:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone have a source indicating why they changed the name? I haven't been able to find an explanation.SLEPhoto (talk)

yeah, WWE is trying to make their product more family oriented, so having its biggest tool with a move named FU doesnt really work....Rellik inc ozz (talk) 13:04, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

John Cena's Movie

Recently, John Cena is playing a movie called 12 rounds. The movie will be released on March 27, 2009.--75.66.34.147 (talk) 00:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Throwback?

Now the FU has been renamed once again, should it still be listed as Throwback in the "In Wrestling" section, alongside Attitude Adjuster and FU, as it has (although briefly) still been known as this too? RebirthThom 22:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

It was never used. Simon^KSK 23:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

No More "Word Life"?

I noticed the other night that he no longer uses the "Word Life" hand signs. Now he's using something that looks like the "OK" sign (thumbs and index touching, all other fingers up). Should this be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by WraythSkitzofrenik (talk • contribs) 02:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Give it some time. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't whatever this new taunt means or symbolizes be stated? I would do it myself but, truthfully, I have no idea where it came from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.60.255.89 (talk) 02:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Its not notable what the background of the taunt is. Even if you add it, it would be considered original research and would come from a point-of-view, and would probably be removed. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

His new taunt is the SSI diver trainer "Ok" signal used for under water to ask your buddy if he is ok and to say your okay if asked. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devilfreak12 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually I think it means Hustle. Loyalty. Respect. Since there are 3 words & 3 fingers left up. Those words usually surround that hand sign on his shirts & posters. Thats my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkcduck (talk • contribs) 05:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I always assumed the new taunt was derived from the USMC salute, as it was right around the time that The Marine was released when he started using it. Spartan198 (talk) 20:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Attitude Adjustment

Just what is it? The page says "Standing takeover or powerslam", even though I never saw it as the later. But now he is using a sitout variation of the standing takeover. He did it twice in one week, once on Kane and once on the Big Show. I'm just thinkin' that it should be changed on the page as well. --Oxico (talk) 12:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I always thought it was a Death Valley Driver. Spartan198 (talk) 20:57, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Attitude Adjustment

I'm just curious to know, why did Cena change the name of the FU to the Attitude Adjustment? Save Us.Y2J

Sadly this is not a forum! I believe it was changed due to the PG thingy as the old finisher meant something kids aren't meant to say Adster95 17:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

My guess is that they changed the names of the FU and the STFU so kids wouldn't be repeating that stuff, if you have noticed the ratings on the shows have gone down from tv-14 to tv pg in the U.S. Just an educated guess. Riffrider (talk) Riffrider —Preceding undated comment added 01:35, 18 April 2009 (UTC).

Personal Life

John Cena said on Despierta America on Tuesday March 11 2009 that he let the latin female audience that he is looking for a relationship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Janice79 (talk • contribs) 22:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

• If you (or anyone) can source the fact he's single to a reliable source, then it can be added to his personal life section. (I have no knowledge as to whether Despierta America would be considered such or not, which is why I clarify that it needs to be sourced to a reliable source). Raven1977^{Talk to me}_{My edits} 23:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
• Just an additional note; Janice79 is talking about this: http://cenacentral.com/2009/03/11/john-on-despierta-america/. From looking at the scant amount of information, I don't know whether it's a firm "the engagement is off" or him joking/flirting/speaking as his ring persona as opposed to his real life persona. I bet that upcoming interviews given to promote his new movie will provide better answers regarding this, and until then, I feel we should hold off on changing anything in the personal life section.Raven1977^{Talk to me}_{My edits} 23:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Despierta America is a morning talk show, which is credible, like any other morning talk shows. I found another source regarding his engagement and it is from the Miami Herald, a reliable source. Apparently, he also mentioned that he was engaged in his appearance last night with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, so. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)John Cena is getting married to his long time girlfriend ,Elizabeth ,'Liz'.

The Rock

Should it be mentioned in the article that he is repeatedly calling out Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and has officially challenged him to a match at Mania 26? IMO yes but i want to know that some of you think.LifeStroke420 (talk) 19:36, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

How does that help Cena's article? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia generally isn't meant to be a crystal ball for the future. Things that are almost certain NOT to happen shouldn't be mentioned in particular. 3pointswish (talk) 03:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I have to agree on the issue that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball that predicts the future, but what I think LifeStroke means is that it is worth mentioning. Cena seems to have some sort of personal vendetta against the Rock, stating that he, for lack of a better word, betrayed the WWE by claiming how much he loved it then leaving it silently to pursue an acting career. I don't think the challenge itself is necessary, nor am I saying that his feelings about the Rock should be states here either, but are definitely worth considering.--Lord Dagon (talk) 20:28, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Except that it will likely come to nothing, The Rock isn't lacing up his boots for WWE any time soon. Give it a few weeks, and anyway WMXXVI isn't for a year, so there is some crystalballing in putting it in. Darrenhusted (talk) 20:46, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

There should be some reference, under Controversy or Fued, something to that degree because there has been public interviews about the issue. This is John Cena's feelings about people who were the flagship company man who lived the company, ate the company, and breathed the company to basically not give back. John is the new company man and he is sticking up for WWE. There should be some acknowledgement. When the next Wrestlemania comes, we will see. Like said the Rock doesnt need, nor doesnt care about lacing up. So this may go nowhere. But none the less is still relevant. BlackScreaminMachine (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Headers

Could we not have some more interesting and indicative headers to the subsections in his wrestling career? A lot of the other articles do that, I don’t know why this one doesn’t. It also lacks some basic info. If you guys don’t want to update the page, just let the ips do it. 71.185.187.183 (talk) 02:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect

In the Personal Life section, it mentions that John Cena revealed he is engaged. I feel that this is unneccesary, even with citation, as there have been several reports claiming this, and other interviews with Cena where he has stated that he is not in a relationship. With two opposing statements from the main subject, it is pointless for this to be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.169.50 (talk) 02:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Don't get it. He's engaged, so basically it's important--Senkris (talk) 13:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

John Cena married.

Hey just started this account, so I need to request this edit.

John Cena was married the evening of July 11th at the Boston Harbor Hotel, with a reception taking place at the same location. He walked out of the wedding area to a piper playing "Scotland the Brave" and had Triple H as well as Vince McMahon in attendance.

This coincided with the Sail Boston event near the ships Pride of Baltimore, and Europa berthed at Rowes Pier. (I saw this while eating dinner. :) ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbmata (talk • contribs) 04:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Summerslam

Is it worth mentioning that this is Cena's first 1 on 1 championship match with Orton for 18 months? 84.69.112.33 (talk) 17:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I doubt it. If John Cena won the Title, then we can say what I said is DEFINITELY worth mentioning but of course, the most important thing is SOURCES and not just any sources but RELIABLE SOURCES. Although I hate it but sources are important like without any sources, there is no proof that for example if John Cena actually accidentally killed someone and you just state it like that, it will OF COURSE be removed which is like without any EVIDENCE or PROOF in Detective, Police and Inspector cases, you cannot arrest the criminals you think that are the criminals. That's all I can say. 60.50.176.192 (talk) 07:45, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

You can mention he managed to be the last wrestler eliminated in Royal Rumble 2010. But why didn't he get his championship rematch with Sheamus? The Royal Rumble article states the challenger was decided in a match previously in Raw. But shouldn't Cena have gotten an automatic rematch? -79.182.200.101 (talk) 12:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Are you asking a question about the article, or about WWE's storyline plans for Cena? Because the second question will not be answered here. Darrenhusted (talk) 00:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Cena got his rematch on RAW the night after, but Sheamus disqualified himself by grabbing the ref. Therefore, Sheamus retained and Cena 'lost' his rematch. 98.214.80.128 (talk) 08:20, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I've found a reference that could be used to prove his Italian decent, but it says nothing about Irish or Croatian. In fact, it puts him down as "possibly of Albanian origin". Let me know if this is a reliable source or not. http://ethnicelebs.com/john-cena. --☯The Dark Lord of Wiki☯ (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

While I probably couldn't source it without some original research, I know enough about tracing genealogy to be able to answer this one. Cena's father is fully Italian. Cena's mother is not. Cena's maternal grandfather was baseball player Tony Lupien, who was born to French Canadian parents and even has a Wikipedia entry (his obituary, which mentions his daughter, Carol Cena, is here). Cena's maternal grandmother was Lupien's first wife, Natalie Nichols. Maybe she was Irish. Or maybe not. Wasn't able to trace her back further.
