Fans Left Fuming Over John Cena’s Last Match at SNME

I know what you’re thinking, “Chris, you mad man, why are you writing about Wrestling? You report on Nerd News, not Professional Wrestling!” Well, Wrestling has always had a thing in Nerd and Pop Culture, that’s the case with John Cena‘s last match at yesterday’s Saturday Night’s Main Event. The night was filled with tributes, tears, cheers, and Absolute anger at WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque (which isn’t anything new, since he always had a successful heel run during his time in the ring and as a authorive figure).

It was certainly one of the best matches to end the year, the crowd at the Capital One Arena was following the action closely, and the energy in the Arena was used to pull for the WWE legend to end his career with a victory. Instead, the fans watched Cena’s tap-out signaling to fans that his time is finally over, and he ended it on his terms, with a smile on his face. But fans at the Arena were visibly frustrated with WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, who was greeted with a tirade of NSFW chants which continued during the send-off and carried into the post-show. It was understandable, people were frustrated with management’s handling of Cena’s Heel Run, and his retirement tour. Gunther had so much heel heat on him last night, WWE had to put extra security on him, according to various clips posted on Social Media.

John Cena started with WWE in 2001, wrestling under the name The Prototype. He would debut under his real name in a losing effort to Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002. As time moved on, Cena would adopt a new heel persona, The Doctor of Thuganomics, in which he would perform freestyle rapping in his promos. Despite a bumpy road in the singles circuit, he would eventually become one of the most beloved and recognizable wrestlers in WWE, a 17-time world champion who has granted more than 650 wishes with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and has starred in television shows that include Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Peacemaker. Also starring in films such as The Marine, The Suicide Squad, and Bumblebee.

As Cena took his final bow, he paved the way for up-and-coming wrestlers to make their mark in a company that is always looking for the next big thing. He wanted to prove to the world that the business would be just fine without him.
