  • John Cena is a Brony?

    by Sethisto
    I don't watch a whole lot of wrestling, but I didn't think any of them would ever pull a pony reference.  This is probably a coincidence, but he did use Rarity's whining line word for word, then proceed to whine.

    Who knows! Go speculate.  The video and time is here!

      They usually write their own promos. It's a basic part of being a wrestler, they don't have people who write what they say...it's not THAT scripted by others. They usually call the matches spot by spot too, just that the ending is pre-determined. Just FYI

      Rex Ryan had a pony reference a couple weeks ago, when he said during a post-game interview "we lost. I HATE losing". Yeah, it's a huge stretch, but the thought of Ryan being a foot fetishist AND a brony was too funny to pass up.

      @Xanthestar

      Hmm... he may be a fan after all. According to his wikipedia page:

      "He is a fan of Japanese animation and has mentioned that his favorite animated movie is Fist of the North Star. He has also said he is a fan of the video game series Command & Conquer and noted that it was his favorite game."

      So there is the seed there, as he obviously isn't averse to potentially geeky media like oldschool anime and strategic PC games. Interesting.

      I was actually looking for information on if he had a young daughter as that might have been a clue as to where he might have heard that dialogue, but it seems he's more than meets the eye. Good for him then.

      That's...okay, that's a stretch to say that's a pony reference. If it were word-for-word the same, then you might have something, but this honestly seems more like a really awesome coincidence than a definite sign of Cena being a fan.

      Also, Seth, you need to watch WWE. It's like a soap opera, except the acting's mostly terrible and everyone's trying to kill each other. It's pretty much the greatest thing ever.

      It's the perfect amount of ambiguity. You wouldn't even suspect it was a reference to ANYTHING at all if you were just a WWE fan and knew nothing of MLP.

      And it's just enough to obviously be close to Rarity's winning line from A Dog and Pony show if you were a brony.

      meebe a wrestling fan may claim to hate them, but them wraslers? man, they're muscled kids who get paid to pretend to fight, boast and act silly, they're down whit most toons.

      then again, wrestling scripts are goopy-gooey on memejuice, I wouldn't put it past them to drop references to things they haven't seen just to keep trending.

      Cena's character is actually pretty much the supernice guy superhero character Hulk Hogan used to be a long while back - problem is, he's been that way for the last 10 years and has grown somewhat stagnant in the role via the booking and writing. People also tend to hate him because they do not care for his being a brawler-type ( "Can't wrestle" - Rock never really wrestled, and yet HE was somehow more acceptable? Double standard. also, mostly false, as he HAS wrestled fairly well in many occasions.)

      However, his character is not intentionally a 'douche' of any type...just more the kinda guy who's way too upstanding in any TV show to appear in any way 'genuine' to anyone.

      John Cena just became 20% cooler in my eyes. He's still not my favorite wrestler... Taker, Kane or Triple H would probably be my personal favorites, but he's definitely earned some additional respect and admiration from me JUST for the MLP reference. And no, his quoting of Rarity's whining in "A Dog and Pony Show" ISN'T coincidence. So, essentially, he is one of us... A brony. That's pretty cool. I'd like to personally welcome John Cena to the herd.

      You mean I wasn't the only person to make that connection? Thank Celestia! For a while I was wondering if the ponies had rotted my brain.

      That said, welcome to the herd, Cena. Even if Rainbow Dash and Gilda hate your guts.

      Annnnd how long before we see a brony wrestler as a gimmick? Come on, Vinny Mac, you've never been too proud to appeal to the lowest common denominator before; give us our rasslin' MLP fanboy!

      Seems like a coincidence to me, but I suppose you never know!

      WWE Diva AJ Lee likes MLP she's a fan of Twilight Sparkle, but I highly doubt Cena is a Brony. It's just a coincidence and he probably has no clue about it even if he is an anime fan. WWE has made references before though may be tweaked a little, but you still know. I highly doubt Cena is a brony and I am a Cena fan.

      If he was a brony it wouldn't matter to me, but I highly doubt it just all a coincidence.

      Oh hai. Mah video is here. No wonder it's getting so many views. Well well well~

      Not denying that it may be coicidence, or that it's a brony writer, BUT it does seem pretty close. Either way, gotta admit it's awesome.

      I think its legit. Admittedly, I know nothing about wrestling except for unfortunate 90's stereotypes, but thats neither here nor there. What makes me say its NOT a coincidence is not that he pulled the line, but the fact that the first thing he complained about was something fashion related. Whats-his-faces fake tan? Of all things, why that? No, he would have to know that Rarity was involved in fashion. One line? coincidence. A line and something else related very closely to the line? No way. We got another one, bronies.
