When I was a kid, my brother and I went to get autographs signed after a WWF show. There was a line around the block for Hulk Hogan as you can imagine, but Rick Rood had practically no line so we went to get his autograph. When my brother asked him if he could have an autograph he said "Autographs are $10, but for you kid I'll make it $20." my brother responded by telling this legendary heel that he didn't have the money, so he asked my brother's name, autographed it, and then crumpled it up and threw it over his shoulder and said "No money, no autograph. NEXT!"
Cena's Prototype gimmick was a lot of fun. There's an amazing video they did where Prototype saves a woman from getting assaulted by headlocking a dude so hard he rips his head off.
I kinda like the parts of the indie wrestling scene that lean heavily into the pretend aspect. Give me magic mind controlling murder clowns in the ring.
that's what moist wrestling is i think, never watched wwe as a kid because i thought they were trying to advertise it as real fighting. kid me was jaded by everything being fake
John Cena is one of my favorite wrestlers especially now. He just seems like a great guy and I hope that fact does not change in the future. Speaking of Invisible John Cena, WWE 2k23 the newest wrestling game has a John Cena Story Mode where you play as various opponents who have beaten him like Rob Van Dam, Brock Lesnar, the Undertaker and more. At the end of it, you fight Super Cena. Which is John Cena with maxed out stats and is invisible save for his clothing. So you can see through John Cena while doing moves to him, aside from his hat, armbands, shorts and shoes. It is a great unlockable for that game, and once I finished up the Showcase Mode for John Cena, I did Wargames with every wrestler being another John Cena. It is great
@@CrazyGamebino John Cena is renowned for his superhuman strength and rate of recovery but even by his standards his 2008 Royal Rumble return was miraculous. The 16-time World champion had held the WWE title for 380 days prior to suffering a right pectoral muscle tear in October 2007 which forced him to vacate the belt. The injury left him facing at least six months on the side line, but Cena is no normal athlete. Instead, he returned in half this time and in one of the best spots to do so; the 30th entrant in the Royal Rumble at Madison Square Garden. It is arguably the most shocking and best return ever at the event. A 15YO me popped like hell when it happened
My gimmick was to be the "dark horse of the apocalypse", and thankfully I didn't need to keep kayfabe because it was my own fed. But damned if the crowd didn't hate me, and I loved it
Favourite finishers for me, Canadian destroyer because it makes NO DAMN SENSE the first couple times you see it, and HOW THEY SURVIVE Or the Spanish Fly which is also incomprehensible
A friend of mine went to high-school with Cena. Says he was the nicest guy ever, got along with everyone. He also said that he has the biggest hands he's ever seen in his life.
This video was kinda strange?, I couldn't see Karl throughout the entire video. I just saw the hello kiddy mug floating on the screen. I'm tempted to say he used a green suit but I could still see the entire handle so I don't know what else it could be?
"Did you know Spider-Man wasn't a documentary about a young man shooting jizz out of his wrists" I'M BEYOND DECEASED, I HAVE ASCENDED TO A HIGHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE Holy shit Al Snow is great. Also the "John Cena is always invisible" meme is probably my favorite meme of all time, so thanks for this insight!
His first gimmick in WWE was actually the prototype John Cena when he was just a bland nobody, then he turned into the doctor of thuganomics, then the leader of the cenation (the gimmick no one likes)
The moment Brad said "If this cuts off here" the video paused because my earbuds were acting weird again. And I thought the video was over for a moment 😄
On the Kayfab thing it kinda depends on the wrestler. Cora Jade stays in character for social media but will break character for interviews. But Brey Wyatt will not break character at all. Ronda Rousey calls wrestling fake all the time. Which I don't get. Go back to MMA if that's your attitude.
I watched wrestling from late 94 into the late 2000s and to me the Attitude era was wrestling at it''s peek. That being said, Kayfabe as the unbreakable rule died the night Vince screwed Bret (and yes, I firmly believe that it was a shoot). That pulled the proverbial curtain back on it. It was heading that way anyways with the dawn of the internet, and Bischoff telling everyone not to bother with watching Raw the night Mankind won the belt. But it did give us one of the greatest heel gimmicks of all time. It gave us the Mr. McMahon character. And his feud with Austin was legendary. It was appointment viewing.
When I was 5 years old I saw a WWF match in my home town; The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb. I was rooting for Adam Bomb but the ‘taker beat him and threw him in a coffin. I thought I had just watched a murder and cried and cried!
it didnt disappear. you just cant see it. as a side note i wish WWE would just do a show or even just event where they went more over the top and into the supernatural ect.. like cena having the power to become invisible to his opponent
Showing up to the arena with your opponent that just screwed your wife, slapped your brother, and took your wallet should not happen. I was at an event where that happened. As for going to the grocery store that’s just stupid.
Yeah, the problem that wrestling fans are being reminded that „it is not real“ is because aside from the fake beef, they do believe that the „fights“ are real. It is not a real fight. Injuries only happen by accident, in real fights, it’s almost an accident if they don’t happen. When you want to show them a real fight, there are some where they did match real martial artists to wrestlers and they were obliterated in seconds. You have to tell wrestling fans that it’s fake to make it clear to them that it is a stage play or an episode of the Mandalorian. Not a legitimate real fight.
Aside from the extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY rare case that somebody believes wrestling to not be staged the people that insist that it is real are only doing it because it bothers the people who must always point out that it is staged.
so, just a insight from a friend of mine who moved out of Florida; Allegedly, he lived in the same neighborhood a ton of wrestlers like Seamus and Cena lived while off the clock, and Cena was literally next door to him. Well, Cena decided to cut down a tree in his lawn, but it fell over their dividing fence. Cena dragged the felled tree into my buddy's lawn, and when my bud called the fuzz to get him to move it (bear in mind, my buddy is no more than 95lbs soaking wet), Cena claimed that my buddy cut down the tree and dragged it OUT of Cena's lawn into his own. The lesson here; for all the photos with smiling kids and salutes for the troops, someone can still be a petty douche-knuckle. ESPECIALLY if your entire job is to pretend to be a paragon.

Thats better than an Autograph.

Best commitment to kayfabe I've seen is when Sabu got arrested but his charecter couldn't speak so in the court room he remained silent
I think something similar happenened to Bray Wyatt
@@HopeAuq I think Wyatt had jury duty, and he showed up in full cult leader, Hawaiian shirt getup
I kinda like the parts of the indie wrestling scene that lean heavily into the pretend aspect. Give me magic mind controlling murder clowns in the ring.
Also love it when the wrestlers kiss after the match.
were may i find videos of these mind controlling murder clowns?
Invisible Stan vs the Invisible man in GCW is a great example of pretend done right
that's what moist wrestling is i think, never watched wwe as a kid because i thought they were trying to advertise it as real fighting. kid me was jaded by everything being fake
@@outlawrailfan129 that is ridiculous
WWE leans so hard into this that they put a invisible John Cena in the new WWE game

They should definitely make a whole video(or live stream) of them just showing off all the cool stuff
this is the funniest episode.... I was rolling when Karl was going through all the crap in his rooms looking for a video
If a Metal Gear Rising movie is made I would cast John Cena as Senator Armstrong. Just Imagine John Cena being invisible cause Namo Machines son
Don't forget that Cena might as well be an x man because his healing factor is superhuman
oh yeah his rumble return was 3-4 months ahead of schedule or something

I’d argue Chris Benoit is way closer to an invisible man in wrestling than John Cena could ever be……..
My gimmick was to be the "dark horse of the apocalypse", and thankfully I didn't need to keep kayfabe because it was my own fed. But damned if the crowd didn't hate me, and I loved it
And one simple bet.. created one of the greatest wrestlers ever
Genuinely that man transcends legendary there’s just no one else on his level
Not gonna lie, I thought Karl was in a morph suit again at the start of the video lol 😂
Favourite finishers for me, Canadian destroyer because it makes NO DAMN SENSE the first couple times you see it, and HOW THEY SURVIVE
Or the Spanish Fly which is also incomprehensible
A friend of mine went to high-school with Cena. Says he was the nicest guy ever, got along with everyone. He also said that he has the biggest hands he's ever seen in his life.
Knowing that it's more like a play but intense af makes it more fun for a non wrestling fan
The undertaker made people think he was actually dead/ from hell for time
It's amazing how many gimmicks ppl think are stupid when they come up with it and it becomes baked into pop culture as something legitimate.
mjf is hands down the best modern heel in wrestling debatably of all time
His "mean" treatment of little fans during autograph signings is delightfully heartwarming.
John Cena once gave me a UPW(I think) flyer as The Prototype.
I'm saddened at the fact Karl didn't put on the greenscreen outfit and then had the Cena shirt over it.
Wow! How did you guys book John Cena to stand right next to Karl for this video?! 😱😱
Legends say Karl saw John Cena after 6 pegs of whiskey. And that only happened ONCE!
I never once thought that meant Cena turned invisible… wow lmao
The FU was a message to Lesnar and his F5
This video was kinda strange?, I couldn't see Karl throughout the entire video. I just saw the hello kiddy mug floating on the screen. I'm tempted to say he used a green suit but I could still see the entire handle so I don't know what else it could be?
Must have held it in his palm
No one would hold a mug for around 23 minutes in the palm. That's crazy 🤣
Dude that was so awesome, you actually got him in the studio for the video!
"For abit" hahaha na that meme still goes on to this day
"Did you know Spider-Man wasn't a documentary about a young man shooting jizz out of his wrists" I'M BEYOND DECEASED, I HAVE ASCENDED TO A HIGHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE
Holy shit Al Snow is great. Also the "John Cena is always invisible" meme is probably my favorite meme of all time, so thanks for this insight!
I wonder why Karl didn't show John Cena at all in this video. 🤔
I noticed that as well, and I was searching.
Also great video everyone. It's always a joy to watch
Karls dedication in this video is impressive.
I'm half way to being John Cena. Women can't see me (apparently).
Loved the week off / weak cough pun you all are the best!
This is one of the most Fact Fiend endings ever Lol
Why is there an floating mug in the video.
Somehow that ending was both amazingly painful, and hilariously great content
His first gimmick in WWE was actually the prototype John Cena when he was just a bland nobody, then he turned into the doctor of thuganomics, then the leader of the cenation (the gimmick no one likes)
Cenation Army Rise!!!!!
As a headphone user, I loved the Intro but I couldn't hear anything afterwards.
The moment Brad said "If this cuts off here" the video paused because my earbuds were acting weird again. And I thought the video was over for a moment 😄
Karl: "Why do I have Gremlins 2? I don't even have Gremlins 1!" Haha oh Karl
On the Kayfab thing it kinda depends on the wrestler. Cora Jade stays in character for social media but will break character for interviews. But Brey Wyatt will not break character at all. Ronda Rousey calls wrestling fake all the time. Which I don't get. Go back to MMA if that's your attitude.
DVon Dudley once had a gimmick where he passed around a collection box like in church. Lol
According to Batista they had to stop because they were making to much money😅😂
The you cant stop me slogan was his slogan before he won the 2013 rumble, beat the rock at mania, and became wwe champion again

How John I heard your bodybuilding career is going no where are you going to do G4P so he said NO! I shall become the professor of thugonomics
LOOK OUT KARL!
Not to nitpick, but it bothered me, peacemaker, not peace keeper
I'm glad you talked about kayfabe
I never heard about this. The bad part is I'm not surprised by it. I wonder how many people really made this leap.
I love the shirt, damn shame about that big black patch in the middle though. Really should've had a picture of cena there....
Wait... it's not real?
Also... why no clips of this John fella?
Someone kinda sounds like Kenny from south park in the beginning🤣
Ric Flair was just on Joe Rogan. So Fun.
I don't really like wrestling, but this was a fun video.
Should have whipped the morph suit
I miss them putting shit on the green screen:(
The Boogeyman was one of my favorites
I love it man..😂
When I was 5 years old I saw a WWF match in my home town; The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb. I was rooting for Adam Bomb but the ‘taker beat him and threw him in a coffin. I thought I had just watched a murder and cried and cried!
Lmao😂 great video

Spider-Man isn’t a documentary?!
Being a wrestling fan is like being a smoker. We know it's not good for us and we know it's not real but we really really don't care
Showing up to the arena with your opponent that just screwed your wife, slapped your brother, and took your wallet should not happen. I was at an event where that happened. As for going to the grocery store that’s just stupid.
"bacame"
Peacekeeper
YoU kNoW iTs NoT rEaL rIgHt!!!
Why wouldn't you have a copy of Gremlins 2?
What.. is cena bruno hagaloogi
Does Cena have the One Ring?
FUCK RULES can be read two ways, and I read it the wrong way at first.
Hi is champ there?
nice
What happened to Fact Friend
👍👍👍

Literally noone believes the fights are real.
Aside from the extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY rare case that somebody believes wrestling to not be staged the people that insist that it is real are only doing it because it bothers the people who must always point out that it is staged.
Nice spelling in the title mate
That's just part of their gimmick, Professionally Unprofessional
Aww they fixed it :/
Karl as a Avid Hip Hop fanatic, I can tell you, John Cena was the wigga. "You can't see me" has aged very well as an Hip Hop album Cena had #Bars
Who the hell mixed the sound on this episode?
It the Dr. Of thuganomics you philisitine.
Wrestling is a soap opera for men.
so, just a insight from a friend of mine who moved out of Florida;
Allegedly, he lived in the same neighborhood a ton of wrestlers like Seamus and Cena lived while off the clock, and Cena was literally next door to him. Well, Cena decided to cut down a tree in his lawn, but it fell over their dividing fence. Cena dragged the felled tree into my buddy's lawn, and when my bud called the fuzz to get him to move it (bear in mind, my buddy is no more than 95lbs soaking wet), Cena claimed that my buddy cut down the tree and dragged it OUT of Cena's lawn into his own.
The lesson here; for all the photos with smiling kids and salutes for the troops, someone can still be a petty douche-knuckle. ESPECIALLY if your entire job is to pretend to be a paragon.
