I swear I was just flipping past...
...but sometimes you can't help but notice.
Now, I'll admit that I used to watch a fair bit of WWF..er....WWE ...whatever.....but it was a stupid point in my life, and I was hanging out with some unstable people.....so anyway, I actually almost know what I'm talking about, so hear me out...
I remember John Cena as a complete B-grade wrestler, a real nobody. He was basically a white hip hop guy. Meh. It was alright...but he wasn't anything special. Well, apparently got a big "push" within the last couple of years...and it turns out now he's a champ of some sort.... But the part that gets me is that they clearly just stole "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's shtick, and gave it to Cena. Only he's less "beer swilling hick" and more "freestyling urban".


For some reason this annoys me...but I can't figure out why. Especially since my favourite wrestler from the WCW-era (back in about 1998, when Monday Nitro used to kill Monday Night Raw) was Goldberg....a blatant rip-off of Stone Cold if there ever was one....

As always, I no longer have a point...so I will just shut up.
