They were trying to give Vladmir a push I think, I think Vladmir has potential - but his gimmick sucks... stereotype russian? pffft laaaame
Why is John Cena 'trying to be black'? I am Australian so my culture is a little different, but I still think my opinion on this is valid.
Is there a patent/ownership on clothes and attitude thesedays? Am I not allowed to listen to Rap/Hip Hop because I am white? Would I be considered to be 'trying to be black' if I listened to that music and wore certain clothes?
Cena, in his early gimmick was really like Vanilla Ice was - a massive joke and parody of the typical white person trying to 'be black' (with the irony being Vanilla Ice was serious :P) but his gimmick now as I see it is more 'white' than it is 'black' if you know what I mean?
He's not out throwing around bad rhymes all the time, arms waving everywhere trying to look Gangster - hes just John Cena, a white guy with an attitude as far as I am concerned.
I dont know... it sounds a bit like reverse racism to me.
Hogan was what Cena is now - in the fact that they are both great entertainers, and although possibly not the best performers in terms of wrestling ability (although Cena has always been marketed as a brawler rather than a pure all out wrestler) they are really good at what they set out to do - and that is to make the WWE fans react to them, good or bad.
To the person that quoted my post and replied about Kane - if he is declining title shots then although while I dont understand why, I can respect that and in a way really makes me admire him more.
It's like I saw on TNA the other week - the Dudley's saying that they don't care about singles competition, about the singles championships etc... they are there to entertain as a team because thats how they work best and they accept it.
