* well yeah... i think it was his "Rocky Maivia" persona... but when he went solo as "The Rock", he improved a little, he still speaks slow and kinda majestic-like...
* he went to a really entertaining speaker when he begins to turn face but still bashes and disses his interviewers and fellow wrestlers... and even made much more catchphrases like "cumsi-cumsa" and "umpa-lumpa"... 😂
* in his last regular return in WWE, his speaks more naturally and speaks very damn fast and also funny...
* anyways, my Backlash prediction: Cena loses, Edge wins, I HOPE... UnderTaker SHOULD retain his title... 😉
There was one promo where he literally used all his catchphrase except "If you smell..." etc.
He was talking to Commissioner Slaughter and he said "You take you and your 75 cent shirt, you go in the back and you get The Rock and Owen Hart's tag team titles. Know your role before The Rock lays the smack down on your candy ass, jabroni.".
Where as now he'll come out and go just get as good a reaction from a facial expression.

Yeah, that's kind of wierd to me though...The Chairman on WWE ECW Champ? Bobby lashley is ganna kick his ass, and yeah he pisses on them tomuch because he knows they never succeded as much as the RAW and SMACKDOWN brands. But ECW seems to be doing well if you ask me, I know there's not many people in this forum that dont like him but Bobbly lashley has made a big impact.
Cena has yet to be challenged. He's written in as a superman type. They're going about reworking his character all wrong.
They give him a "coincidental" finish to retain his title, because they know a clean finish will draw more heat. Yet the next night, you toss Khali out there and make him look like the face/underdog. You can't execute a turn on a stale superstar by pushing him to a crowd that doesn't want him in his current capacity.
..and Lashley dropped the title b/c of an shoulder injury. That pretty much guarantees that McMahon/Lashley angle will be squashed, Lashley will go to RAW, Chris Masters will be getting his push, and Elijah Burke/New Breed will also be pushed to carry ECW. Because if that isn't the case, you've got WAY too much written into ECW. Considering WWE's latest proposal to RVD was declined, perhaps they'd give him the belt? Vince would be somewhat of a hypocrit, but he'd also be making a giant business decision that could ultimately save the brand.
