Edge was one of the most hated heels in the company at this time too 😂😂😂

As a Kid, The Spinner belt was EVERYTHING. As an adult I agree with you about its functionality. 😭😭

Jordan Alford

Kids loved Cena and he was always presented as a baby face but the Adults and edgy wrestling fans really rejected the superman like way he won matches. They just got tired of him really quickly. But he was always massively popular with Women and Children.

Here’s the promo with the song: https://youtu.be/kZ-x_VuOIWs?si=zVZ9Mfr4WlsvxdzG

Hated that wwe dubbed over the stricken song. Awesome song 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Phillyman!!

Daivari would also split from Kurt shortly after this because Kurt would show up on SmackDown and win a Battle Royal for the World Heavyweight Championship after Batista got injured, turning face in the process.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

The original promo for this match had Stricken by Disturbed in it. Someone’s probably already said it, but Kane’s partner was Big Show.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

We all spit in his face cause he doesn’t think Carlito’s song is Cool. Lol

Being 17 at the time of this event, the consensus from most people was the spinner belt was terrible so you’re in the majority who felt that way. You’ll be please to know they eventually removed its spinning function but I still thought it looked stupid with “CHAMP” spelt out in big capital letters. I think it was fine for Cena’s rap gimmick at the time but it stuck around much longer than it should have; it lasted almost a decade. It looked more like a toy than something prestigious and it was weird seeing guys like hhh, Orton or cm punk carrying it later on. I have noticed online recently that a lot people who grew up watching around this time now have a lot of nostalgia for it but I’m sorry it’s just that, nostalgia, to me it’s an ugly title.

Cena being booed after 2006 because they push him just like Roman being booed in 2015, kid love him and adult boo him, that's why some match you heard "Let go Cena" and other is "Cena Suck"

I'd say it started around Wrestlemania 31 where he took a step back and won the United States Championship and had a weekly open challenge to put some shine on some up and coming names. It was this time where he evolved his inring moves and included things like a springboard stunner as well and was trying new things which fans really liked about the new Cena and he was also putting over new stars like Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins as well. Those seven months with the US title were incredible. Greatest US champ ever.

Chad

Lol. It would be so funny lol. Maybe someone could suggest it if we ever do a promo themed week.

Chad

Oh yeah. I really love this story and it also makes me not want to mess with Chris Masters. Imagine if he was really mad at you.

Chad

The thing is John Cena was a babyface but from 2006-2015 he was pretty much hated. It wasn't until Wrestlemania 31 in 2015 when he started getting his respect and started getting cheered more.

Chad

I'm typing this as I watch, so some of it might be answered before I post: So, the guy that was with Kurt Angle was his manager at the time. He was also a wrestler at the time too. His name is Daivari. He managed a wrestler named Muhammad Hassan (who is an Italian playing an Arab) from late 2004 until mid 2005. They eventually did make the spinner belt centerpiece stay upright. Don't remember exactly when they did it, but early on, it spinned around. Fun Fact, Cena was the one who introduced that version of the title back in April of 2005. This was also 9 months after WrestleMania 21. They did New Years Revolution in January twice. Both times were before The Royal Rumble. Basically in 2005 and 2006, they had two PPVs in January. Cena was a Heel in WWE from late 2002 up until early November 2003. He has been a face ever since. The reason he was getting booed while he was a face was because fans got tired of him. I can't wait until you finally get to watch some of his stuff from when he was heel. They knew Kane was going to enter last because he won the right on RAW to enter last. Oh, if you think Chris Masters seem Default, wait until you see a wrestler called Maven. He has a YouTube channel by the way breaking down his time when he was a WWE wrestler. Cena is in fact strong enough to lift Carlito and Chris Masters for the AA. He's done a double AA before. He's picked up guys like The Big Show and Rikishi multiple times. Actually, one of the double AA's included Big Show. The AA used to be called the FU and the first time he did it was against Rikishi. He also debuted the theme he used before the current one he has that night too. Cena was a face here and Edge was a heel.

Christopher Barnes

Im glad that you liked my suggestion I knew this was a really good match. If you want to be shocked at what people used to say and do in wrestling go watch anything from Doctor D David Schultz on YouTube they are hilarious.

John Coffey

And they're not booing Cena because he's a heel they're simply booing him because they did not like him

Charlie

You take that back about Carlito's theme right now

Charlie

You’ve only seen how many Chamber matches though? Lol.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

you did not just call Carlito's theme not good. Shame, just kidding lol. Even though I love the theme 😂

Panthersrule 95

Carlito‘S song back then was made for him. Cause when you hear his song you knew someone was gonna get spit in the face, Cause they dont want to be cool. Def Rebel’s version killed it and now we dont even see Carlito bother have a apple with him anymore or spit in the face

WWE Jay Gaming

So you mentioned 'sorry if you guys respected Chris Masters' So fun story about him, he never did the a huge fan following in WWE. But after he left the company, he made the news because one of his mom's neighbors locked themselves in his mom's house with her, and threatened to set the house on fire and burn his mom alive if anyone tried to enter the house. Master's called the police but they were taking too long to get there and the guy started a house fire, Chris bear hugged a tree in his mom's yard, pulled it out of the ground and used it to break a window and get in and save his mom. After that news went viral, he became beloved by fans for just the fact 1) he uprooted a tree out of the ground, which is insane 2) saved his mom's life.

Zach Faulkner

the reason they had vince go out and announce it i think was because the idea that you could cash it in at literally any time and surprise the champion was not really established. i think many people just thought the money in the bank contract meant you could ask for a match to be arranged in the future

panda

So yes John Cena never turned heel, but his first gimmick in the WWE was a heel Doctor of Thuganomics. You probably won’t see a Thuganomics match requested as he didn’t do much title or match wise with the character.

Dak4life

I would love to see Dporticus's reaction to edge's "celebration" he had on raw the next night

Drew Or Die

They did what was called the Beat the Clock challange the weeks leading up to the Chamber. Each man had a match and Kane won his quickest. That's why he entered last.

Phillip Goad

Cena was the face of the switch to the PG era, where instead of marketing the product to teenagers and young adults, they shifted the focus to entertaining the kids and being a family friendly product. So while the kids loved Cena, the vast majority of the audience disliked him and the more the WWE tried to present him as this great white meat baby face, the more he got booed and fans resented and hated him. Basically what happened to Roman before the Tribal Chief era. Except WWE was never willing to pull the trigger and make Cena heel to get him accepted like they did with Roman because he was bringing in lots of merch money from the kids and was a great spokesperson for the company to send out to represent them as this new family friendly company.

Zach Faulkner

Actually the problem you have with the spinner belt not bein upright was changed in 2007. After that it didn't spin anymore

Jayshawn Robinson

Closest Cena came to being heel was for the Cena v Rock WM28. He had gear and a new theme but they changed their mind last minute

Jayshawn Robinson

The thing about cena is from like 2006 onward he was basically built up to be superman and he won a lot leading fans booing him, but dispite that he would always be near the top in merch sales especially when the pg era started so they never turned him heel. Younger fans loved him bc he was superman, older fans hated him bc he was superman.

Jayshawn Robinson

To answer a few questions you had. This match Happened about 9 months after mania 21 so a good while and i believe Kane's tag partner at the time was the Big Show. You pretty much summed up Chris Master all pyro no pop. Despite being pushed to the moon he never really got over. Also well i agree Carlitos music wasn't very good it has the one thing allot of entrance music today is lacking instant recognition. As son as you here "I spit in the face of people who don't want to be cool" you know who it is. With a few notable exceptions to many themes today sound so similar that's it's hard to tell who it is just by there music. It's especially noticeable during the royal rumble. You used to know who was coming out almost immediately that's lost today

Drew Or Die

in 2015/2016 cena wasnt the top guy anymore and starting putting people over and having great 'work-rate' matches week-to-week, which is what lead to him being respected more.

panda

this was a consistent thing up until at least 2016

panda

Cena was getting booed because people hated him despite being a babyface. they felt as though he was being shoved down peoples throats and that he wasnt any good
