The Dr. Of Thuganomics back in 2k this John Cena will be my most used out of all of the John Cenas in 2k23 i hope and pray 2k keeps this version of John in every WWE 2K game from now on.
@@Zergrush66 heck isnt sting still in the game from 2k15. If not wasn't he still in the game since 2k20. That Cena will be in the game atleast until 2k28
They simply copy/pasted the detail-lacking version that has always been in Create an Arena. Lazy as hell. The fist looks nothing like the real fist, the shattered glass lacks detail, and so on. And they screwed up the trons, they have to switch minitron and titantron here. And in that Smackdown-name plate you usualle see the Wrestlers' titantron, but here's just the Smackdown logo...
@@iamgodspeed6443 uh. that was the Cena that got booed out of buildings for being Hulk Hogan 2.0. This Cena got way more love. Was way more creative. you were probably too busy being a little kid cheering your little heart out tho.
@@iamgodspeed6443 That Cena was hated more than anyone else, and was shoved down everyone's throat by WWE corporate interests. This Cena was actually his own persona, his own gimmick, his own creation.
That was never gonna happen, they removed CM Punk's Pepsi tattoo in every WWE game he was in. Then again, didn't they advertise Snickers in one of the old SVR games?
Such a shame we couldn't get the Tazz Cole combo and JR and Jerry Lawler combo for commentary. I know most are retired and in different wrestling promotions.
The thing i hate on this arena is how dark it is. back in the early Smackdown games on PS2, this arena alone is colorful and bright just like the real life arena itself :v
WOW, they couldn't even be bothered placing the titantron movie in the square of the name banner, just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The John Cena I grew up watching. people need to realize that "doctor of thugnomics" wasn't just an gimmick, he was actually a real life MC rapper, making lyrics takes skill and talent. John Cena was actually freestyle battle rapping people off the streets when he wasn't wrestling. And to put it John Cena didn't really need to be a celebrity, after he decide to hang up his wrestling career, he can make his own record Studios and put out albums.
Was this when John Cena was a villain. I remember seeing this entrence in the past video games, but I didn’t start watching until he had his my time is now theme back in 2005 when I was only 14.
Y’all remember when he debuted as the the doc on Sunday night heat even showed off the F-U (AA now) on rikishi it was his very first appearance as the doc though not the red tights cena
My only issues are that they still have the titantron and minitron mixed up (the titantron should be on top and the minitron is on the bottom) and they don’t show titantron when the nameplate appears
Wow they really botched the details on this one. The titantron is backwards. The half dome shows the backdrop screen while the two screens at the top are supposed to show the video. Plus there's no mini titantron on the nameplate
I wish they had old school commentary too. Nothing ruins this more than hearing Corey Graves yapping in the background the whole time
Yea, good luck getting Tazz to do commentary for a WWE game
And also Good Ol' JR.
Yeah lowkey ruins the nostalgia because I was there in 02 debut in rosemont as a kid-suburb of chicago
Do what I do every time I play a wwe game these days, turn off commentary volume. They never say anything interesting anyway.
Idc about the commentary
i love old smackdown slide thing
The Verticaltron?

Can’t wait to play universe mode with this smack down😫
Me too
Ayo?
I really sincerely wish that in the next game they keep Dr. Of Thuganomics

There’s a good chance that he will be in the next game too. WCW rey with his purple gear is also in this years game

good enough

John Cena 2003-05:
- The Doctor of Thuganomics
- Word Life
- The Rapper
- 4× time WWE United States Champion
- 1× time WWE Champion
This will be the only John Cena that exist in my Universe Mode.
20 Years since THUGANOMICS was BORN!
Hopefully they’ll say “Oh the F.U” when he use his finnisher.. and the stf.
Sucks that they use the same entrance motion from the previous games. I was hoping they create a new motion for Thuganomics Cena
Yeah wish it was similar to the one in ‘13 and 2k14
Finally! It's back!
I preordered 2k23 yesterday. Picking it up on Tuesday after school
I get to enjoy it in spring break 😂
over in western Australia the game comes out on the Playstaion store at 9PM tonight only 7 Hours and 35 minutes to go
I love how the lights under the old school ramp actually change to match the entrance lighting instead of just glowing white like previous games 🔥
Word life badass entrance music
The John cena the rapper one is back
Just wait until I get my copy I’m going to have my cena swagged the fuck out this year for that model word Life ❤❤❤
I preordered yesterday same

def putting a cap on him fuck a beanie
Now I know which Smackdown arena I am gonna be using in my universe mode!
The video in the minitron is supposed to be playing on the titantrons.
I just pre-ordered the deluxe edition I'm sooo excited for it to release
Finally the real John Cena
I am going to use this john cena a lot
Me to the champ is here feel me
All I care about is that they made the damn shattered glass reflective . Damn it yes damnit YESSSSSSS
That nameplate🌚✅
I just hope it’s in universe mode cuz last year raw 11 wasn’t there
Glad for the inclusion but the font is wrong, no titanron video and no sound effect
Too bad they couldn't get the rights for the Yankees logo (totally understand), that's a pretty good attire for the Dr. of Thuganomics.
That was never gonna happen, they removed CM Punk's Pepsi tattoo in every WWE game he was in. Then again, didn't they advertise Snickers in one of the old SVR games?
You could use the image tool
Love the attire. But this Cena is definitely getting some custom retro attires in my game.
the announcers audio is WAY better now!
Hopefully this means we get a younger Randy Orton, I’ve been DYING to play as these versions of Cena and Orton.
Dieing ? Are u ok
We got 09 randy and the young randy
09, 02 Randy Orton
To get young Orton you need the icon edition but I got the deluxe edition
Imagine young lashley from 07 vs 03 Lesnar be epic
Such a shame we couldn't get the Tazz Cole combo and JR and Jerry Lawler combo for commentary. I know most are retired and in different wrestling promotions.
They forgot to add titantron to the name plate. That would have completed the 2003 smackdown vibe
Very excited this two top game (wwe 2k23)and (resident evil 4 remake)in this few week!
I like this theme and cena
Best version of John Cena period!
💯
Regular Cena gotta go, this Cena is gonna be in my universe mode! I’m jacking his theme song too! 😂 my boy Cena !
The thing i hate on this arena is how dark it is. back in the early Smackdown games on PS2, this arena alone is colorful and bright just like the real life arena itself :v
Can't wait!!!:)
This will be my CAW superstar entrance music!
Same, I might even give my CAW the Chain lock since our Character is "The Lock"
Who u telling mines 2
Me too ✌🏻
@@Mario619TV I can’t wait 4 Mario Sanchez 2 have that Cena entrance and move set
Same
Ahh back in those days Smackdown was watchable.
No way they slapped the “insert bass here” titantron of john cena from 2k19 daniel bryan showcase in here 😭
If only we had the old school commentators from the old svr games as well
POV: the only reason you pre ordered 2k23 is for thuganomics
Finally we can have a real heel Cena again
I wish we got an entrance where he's on the microphone.
Hell yeah, this is basic Thuganomics
I wish they added “So you think you’re untouchable”
they did?
Why couldn't SmackTalks! or THE101 upload this sooner😄
Imagine having 04 john cena and randy orton theme songs on the game
Cool. I want to see Lesnar 03 so i can determine if they got his entrance correct. Tron, music, pyro, etc.
Yes young brock
WOW, they couldn't even be bothered placing the titantron movie in the square of the name banner, just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!! We got both legend killer Orton and Thuganomics Cena. ❤️
We got Orton 05?
@@aaronmandy8718 no, Orton 02 in the DLC and I think 09 Orton, around the time he first started using Voices.
I wish they would use at least the audio from back then to fit the retro entrances announcer
FINALLY I CAN DO PROPER HEEL CENA IN UNIVERSE MODE
I’m so hyped!!
Instantly giving this man the spinner WWE & US championship when the game comes out😊
Imagine this with Michael Cole and Tazz 🙁
❤❤ best 2k game ever made so hyped Icon edition 🎉
Last time this theme appeared in wwe 2k14 I had it on replay 😂
Wwe2k19
On god WWE 2k14 yes
nice to know that they got this song back in a wwe game
i preordered the icon edition cant wait to play it tommorow
Trying gameshare
Amazing
I wanted this song so bad in 2k22
Atleast it’s in 2k23🙌
Me to
YES DUDE YES!!!
BASIC THUGANOMICS FINALLY RETURNS!!!
I don’t understand why so many of the entrances have EVERYTHING but the correct lighting
Whether fighting, or spitting, my discipline is unforgiving.
The John Cena I grew up watching.

Cool this is my favourite cena gimmick
HELL YEAH!
Word life
My only issues are that they still have the titantron and minitron mixed up (the titantron should be on top and the minitron is on the bottom) and they don’t show titantron when the nameplate appears

Can you show brock lesner entrance

I swear there was way better Thuganomics costumes they could of chose.
John Cena wwe Here comes the pain
I Miss SmackDown'00 & Raw Is War'98 In Game
I am so glad that they fixed the SmackDown set.. OH MY FKN GAWD THIS GAME IS FKN GOATED BRO 🤣 LFG!!!!!!
He shoulda never moved onto the super hero lane gimmick and kept this one
I fw it the old smackdown even got the old school ramp right
That’s all wanted. Small detail but truly have the stage it’s vibe .
His entrance lighting was a blue and yellow fade
The camera angles really need to be revamped. They’re always too zoomed in
WWE here comes the pain remastered ❤️
My caws next theme YESSIR
Cena from Massachusetts so naturally they give him a Yankees jersey 🤦♂️
i guess it was a little hard to add finsiher or wrestler movie to the name plate but overall good try
Yo yo yo yo yoooooo !🔥🔥🔥
The trons are backwards... The bottom tron is the tiatron. And the titontron is the bottom
Oh yeah heel cena on the way
