From the "WWE Raw results and live blog for Jan. 21: The Royal Rumble go home show" thread:

John Cena promo for later tonight:

“Wow! Here we are in San Jose! And what a night so far, amiright!?

The Rock is here and he’s here for the people! Randy Orton defeated Cesaro in a GRRRRREEEEEEAAAATTT MATCH! But will he win the beat the block challenge?! WHO KNOWS!? We still have one match left to find out and anything could happen!!!!"

(kids in the crowd pop because they enjoy recaps, apparently. Grown men and intelligent people boo mercilessly or otherwise shake their heads in disappointment)

“Whoever wins will get to choose their entry number in the Royal Rumble and, BY GOD, THEY COULD CHOOSE #30 AND GO ON TO MAIN EVENT WRESTLEMANIA!!!”

(yay! oh wow, someone is gonna main event wrestlemania! CENA! CENA! CENA!)

“But I know what you’re thinking. Yes, yes, I know. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know exactly what you’re thinking. People all around the world wanna know, they wanna know one thing… they wanna know…

what in blue hell was vickie guerrero wearing tonight!? I mean, she looks like a cross between a hippo and a grease-pan. So greasy, just like Dolph Ziggler’s hair, that maybe we could oil her up and chase her around the arena and see who catches her first!"

(hahahaha omg, that’s soooooo funny! CENA! CENA! CENA! )

“But seriously folks. It’s wrestlemania season, and that means business. And, you know me, I’m all about BUSINESS!”

(yayyyy!!! CENA! CENA!)

“The business of the Royal Rumble. Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to tell you that I, John Cena, have requested to choose my entry number in this year’s Rumble. It’s been a bad year for me, you all know that. I’m not the champion, I haven’t been winning every match, and I had to give away my Superstar of the Year award to Ric Flair because, well, honestly, he deserves it more than I do.

But despite how humble I am…. I’m also very hungry. There’s a fire in me that burns as bright as a star, as bright as the lights on this arena, as bright as all your faces when The Rock comes out to electrify and entertain! As bright as the sun! This fire burns in me and so I knew what I had to do.

I knew what I had to do. I knew it. I knew it. I knew what I had to do. I had to…

get a new wardrobe designer because I’ve been wearing jorts for 15 years!"

(hahaha! CENA! CENA! CENA!)

“No, but seriously. What I have to do is this:

I HAVE TO ENTER THE ROYAL RUMBLE FIRST! DEFEAT 29 OTHER MEN! ELIMINATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM MYSELF, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW, OH YES, I KNOW IT WON’T BE EASY!

These men have worked their whole lives for this moment. For the chance to win the Royal Rumble and main event WrestleMania! They have worked and cried and bled for this moment! The fire that burns in me, oh yes, it burns in them too! And they will each do whatever they can to stop me!

I’ll be hit with the Zig-Zag, I’ll get hit with an RKO, a Brogue Kick, a chokeslam, a tombstone piledriver, a Grotch neutralizer, a brick, a chair, a table, a baseball bat, by god, they’ll drive a truck over me to beat me! They’ll do ANYTHING!"

(CENA! CENA! CENA! Cena suddenly calms down and gets serious again. Lowers the tone of his voice)

“But believe me, San Jose. Believe me when I tell you this:

I will enter the Rumble first. But, when it’s all said and done, I will be the last one standing! AND I WILL GO ON TO MAIN EVENT WRESTLEMANIA AND BECOME THE W W E CHAMPIONNNN!!!!!!"

(CENA! CENA! CENA! CENA!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

No, who the hell hasn’t dropped figure fours all the time either as a kid or throughout his “training”? It’s borderline absurd he couldn’t do it properly.

One other thing. Punk should also lose clean. He’s had a great reign, and great reigns deserve great endings. This isn’t just me fantasy booking what I want, if it were up to me, I’d have one in ten title changes involving outside interference, if any. But even by WWE standards, it’d be ridiculous for Punk to lose the belt by any method other than the Rock Bottom. by *Asterisk* on Jan 22, 2013 10:16 AM EST 4 recs
