Poor guy.
Cena doesn't give a shit about the WWE or pro wrestling as long as he gets his monies but I bet the decline really depresses HHH
>>2231364
>Cena doesn't give a shit about the WWE or pro wrestling
everything you hear about Cena implies the opposite is true, hes learning Chinese just to help WWE
Austin and Hogan were much bigger draws but Cena is Vince's perfect top guy
>>2231367
kek I'm imagining Vince asking Hogan to learn chinese
>>2231367
Cena would fuck a dog on camera for an extra million a year

All the different dialects and variations therein are collectively known as Chinese (中文, if you're feeling nasty), my man.
>>2231402
Not the same guy, but the main language is actually known as Mandarin. Dialects are separated according to the regions they live in.
It's like saying "I'm going to learn Indian." instead of "I'm going to learn Tamil."

>cena learns chinese on a whim to appease vince

I bet hes on brain steroids

What did hoganetty mean by this?
>revisionist history
Ratings started dropping 8 months before he turned heel. Wrestling was a passing fad.

Business was still booming in 2001
>RR01 125k buy increase from the previous year
>No Way Out 110k buy increase
>WM17 216k increase
Austin turns heel
>Backlash 01 300k drop from the previous year
The combination of Austins heel turn and Rock leaving at the same time killed the boom
>>2231447
To be fair to Steve he was with two anti-draws in Gaytch and the Undercarder
>>2231412
It's like saying I'm going to learn Mexican instead of Spanish
>>2231450
Undertaker as the top face certainly didn't help matters but Austin wanted to team with HHH because he was the top heel and figured he'd get huge heat off it
>>2231358
Wow roode has really let himself go...
>>2231447
I never understood why Vince after seeing the Backlash 2001 buyrate did not turn Austin immediately back to babyface
>>2231358
>wrestler is blamed for killing business, not the horrible writing
>>2231344
That would be Cena. Turned pro wrestling from something mildly cool but declining into bright happy fun show for literal children.
>blaming a wrestler
>not Vince
Why can't pro wrestling be entertaining like this anymore?
