WWE: Is Thuganomics John Cena Making A Comeback?
That strange noise you heard last night after John Cena's music hit was a honest-to-goodness, [...]
Cena's PHD in Thuganomics has been left on the shelf for the majority of the past decade; only returning for a brief stint to battle The Rock in a rap battle to build-up to their Wrestlemania match up in 2012. A few less gay jokes, but awful nonetheless, and as everyone knows, when you want street cred, a Mark Price jersey is the obvious choice.
Over the last three weeks, Cena has been in pure Serious Cena mode. He's made it clear that he has no intentions of stepping aside for anyone in the WWE's "new era." Each week, however, Serious Cena has let a little more and more of his Thuganomic side slip back into his promos.
First it was finishing his promos by saying "I'm John Cena, Recognize!" Who says recognize anymore? Clearly, only someone who received their Thuganomics degree in the early 2000's.
Last night, Cena took it a step farther. John Cena threw a little rhyme diss into his promo on Baron Corbin!

John Cena is clearly on his way to tying Ric Flair's record of 16 world championships and is possibly even on a collision course with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. While I haven't given up on Cena turning heel at some point, the fact that he's incorporated hints of his old persona into his current character makes it clear that Cena hasn't forgotten his Thug past. Don't be surprised to see it creep into his act more and more over the next few months, because as we all know, damn it feels good to be a ganster.
Would you like to see the Cenation leader return to his Thuganomics roots?
