Last night, we witnessed John Cena's last match in the WWE. He is gone.
Last night, we witnessed John Cena's last match in the WWE. He is gone.
But yeah, the last match, obviously he had to lose. It was destined to lose. And he was he went, he was against Gunter, the Nazi fella, the giant Nazi fella on the lineup.
Yeah, and he John Cena, his whole thing is hustle, loyalty, respect, never give up. And he tapped out. And he tapped out? Yeah, to the Nazi.
No, no, but you have to go out on your back if you're like a big guy because you got to put over the next generation. You know, like you winning doesn't do anything except for your ego is stroked by you won the last match. Whereas if you're someone like Cena, someone retiring you and beating you in your last match can be really good for them going forward. So he has to do that.
If he wins his last match, he's an asshole. That's basically the understanding that everybody has.
And John Cena's in the Fast and Furious franchise.
And I heard these guys rapping. And I just remember playing roller coaster tycoon on my laptop, full matching up, putting it away. I'm like, I'm going to the back of the bus. And just waited my turn and then filleted like 12 guys. Yeah. And Stephanie was like, how the fuck did you remember all that? I'm like, no, no, it's freestyle. You just make it up. And she's like, well, make up something about me. And we were boarding a plane. And I literally like utilized the plane, the people getting on the plane, what she was wearing, what she was eating. She's like, would you do this on TV? And that's where we got a chance.
And WrestleMania, if you're going to do it, like you'd give your best entrance for WrestleMania. And this was, I guess we were going for the shittiest one.
It was a dare. My brother did a happy fucking accident. My brother dared me to do it. Like when we, when I was in the middle of the, the rapping wormhole, I made, I'm a platinum rapper. I made my own album. So like in making, yes, this is amazing. Drink it in, drink it in. In making the album, we would bring home all the tracks. And like my little brother was our test audience. And he would do this dance where he would like shake his head and keep his hand in front of him. I'm like, that is, man. Look at you. He's like, you won't do that on TV. And again, I was on the programs that no one was watching. So it's like no one's watching anyway. Yeah, fuck you. I will do it on TV. And I did it on some meaningless Saturday show and there was a little bit of noise. So I took it with me on the road for the next week and did it on the live events that weren't televised. There's a little bit of noise. Okay, like this is my thing now. This is my thing. And I just, you can't see me. And like, now it's a thing.
Like, I think I would have done okay, but life put an opportunity in front of me and I was stupid enough to say yes. Going out naked in the Oscars, I was just on Jimmy Kimmel last night. He's like, man, you want to do this bit? I'm like, dude, I am super tired. I'm on a different coast. He's like, let me send you the bit. And I read it. I'm like, yo, fuck. All right, I'm going to do it. What'd you do? I shuffled out there with an index card over my dick. Oh, that, that thing. Yeah. That's the thing.
So I kind of got run out of the movie business. I did so many shitty movies in like 2009, 10. May my best friend agent, Dan Boehm, at the time, I was like, man, we're never doing movies again, right?
And how I talked about like every five years you needed somebody in the on-deck circle. So I'm running at the front for like 15. They needed someone in the on-deck circle. And then they finally got some folks. So they're like, yo, we got folks. Yeah, go do the thing. It's fine. Go do it. So my passion for it was ignited at the perfect time when the office side of it was like, that won't affect our bottom line too much. Go give this thing a try. Again, just a happy accident, man.
The goal is to live useful. That's it. The goal is to live useful and not lack like a depth of purpose in my life.
When I moved out to Venice and I was working at Gold, I was sleeping in the parking lot in my 91 Continental. And everybody's like, oh man, you were homeless. I'm like, no, no, choice. It was my choice. I didn't want to leave. My old man had a room for me. Nobody ever leaves West Newberry. My dad was like, yo, come back. You got a roof over your head. You get some fucked up job over here. You don't have to pay rent. So I had choice. I stayed in the car because I wanted to.
He has a good comic sensibility about himself. He never takes himself too seriously. He's believable enough as an action star, so he's good in the fast movies.
John Cena was there! Out of nowhere, John Cena comes running out of the back.
He used to have a character where he was the doctor of thugonomics. What? What? John Cena? He was the doctor of thugonomics? He was all about the military and saluting people and stuff like that. His character was he was a battle rapper.
