== FU has a name change. ==

According to a Jim Ross blog, Cena will now call the FU, The Throwback. Isnt that weird considering that Cena has that front flip neck snap called the Throw Back?

According to the most recent JR's BBQ Blog, the STFU will be now going by STF, the regular name of the move.
[[User:Thejka|Thejka]] ([[User talk:Thejka|talk]]) 18:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Both "Attitude Adjustment" and "STF" are now officially listed on John Cena's WWE.com Bio page. [[Special:Contributions/98.222.193.229|98.222.193.229]] ([[User talk:98.222.193.229|talk]]) 06:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone have a source indicating why they changed the name? I haven't been able to find an explanation.[[User:SLEPhoto|SLEPhoto]] ([[User talk:SLEPhoto|talk]])

== John Cena's Movie ==

Recently, John Cena is playing a movie called 12 rounds. The movie will be released on March 27, 2009.--[[Special:Contributions/75.66.34.147|75.66.34.147]] ([[User talk:75.66.34.147|talk]]) 00:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Like these people would say... do you have a realiable source? [[User:Darkness Wolf|Darkness Wolf]] ([[User talk:Darkness Wolf|talk]]) 08:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

== Throwback? ==

Now the FU has been renamed once again, should it still be listed as Throwback in the "In Wrestling" section, alongside Attitude Adjuster and FU, as it has (although briefly) still been known as this too? <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma">[[User:RebirthThom|<span style="color:purple">Rebirth</span>]][[User talk:RebirthThom|<span style="color:orange">T</span>]][[User:RebirthThom/Guestbook|<span style="color:purple">hom</span>]]</span></b> 22:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

== No More "Word Life"? ==

I noticed the other night that he no longer uses the "Word Life" hand signs. Now he's using something that looks like the "OK" sign (thumbs and index touching, all other fingers up). Should this be mentioned? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:WraythSkitzofrenik|WraythSkitzofrenik]] ([[User talk:WraythSkitzofrenik|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WraythSkitzofrenik|contribs]]) 02:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Shouldn't whatever this new taunt means or symbolizes be stated?

:Its not notable what the background of the taunt is. Even if you add it, it would be considered [[WP:OR|original research]] and would come from a [[WP:POV|point-of-view]], and would probably be removed. --<span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User:ThinkBlue|'''<span style="background:MediumBlue;color:White"> &nbsp;ThinkBlue&nbsp;</span>''']] </span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User_talk:ThinkBlue|(Hit]]</span> <span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User:ThinkBlue/Autograph book|'''BLUE''')]]</span> 22:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Attitude Adjustment ==

Just what is it? The page says "Standing takeover or powerslam", even though I never saw it as the later. But now he is using a sitout variation of the standing takeover. He did it twice in one week, once on [[Glenn Jacobs|Kane]] and once on the [[Paul Wight|Big Show]]. I'm just thinkin' that it should be changed on the page as well. --[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 12:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== Attitude Adjustment ==

I'm just curious to know, why did Cena change the name of the FU to the Attitude Adjustment?<span style="font-family: tahoma">''' [[User:Save Us.Y2J|<span style="color:blue">Save]] [[User talk:Save Us.Y2J|<span style="color:green">Us.]][[Special:Contributions/Save Us.Y2J|<span style="color:black">Y2J</span>]]'''</span>

Sadly this is not a forum! I believe it was changed due to the PG thingy as the old finisher meant something kids aren't meant to say [[User:Adster95|<font color="gold">'''Adster'''</font>]][[User talk:Adster95|<font color="Blue">'''95'''</font>]] 17:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

My guess is that they changed the names of the FU and the STFU so kids wouldn't be repeating that stuff, if you have noticed the ratings on the shows have gone down from tv-14 to tv pg in the U.S. Just an educated guess.

== Personal Life ==

John Cena said on Despierta America on Tuesday March 11 2009 that he let the latin female audience that he is looking for a relationship. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Janice79|Janice79]] ([[User talk:Janice79|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Janice79|contribs]]) 22:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
*If you (or anyone) can source the fact he's single to a [[WP:RS|reliable source]], then it can be added to his personal life section. (I have no knowledge as to whether Despierta America would be considered such or not, which is why I clarify that it needs to be sourced to a reliable source). <font color="Purple">[[User:Raven1977|Raven1977]]</font><sup><font color="Blue">[[User Talk:Raven1977|Talk to me]]</font></sup><sub><font color="Purple">[[Special:Contributions/Raven1977|My edits]]</font></sub> 23:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
*Just an additional note; Janice79 is talking about this: http://cenacentral.com/2009/03/11/john-on-despierta-america/. From looking at the scant amount of information, I don't know whether it's a firm "the engagement is off" or him joking/flirting/speaking as his ring persona as opposed to his real life persona. I bet that upcoming interviews given to promote his new movie will provide better answers regarding this, and until then, I feel we should hold off on changing anything in the personal life section.<font color="Purple">[[User:Raven1977|Raven1977]]</font><sup><font color="Blue">[[User Talk:Raven1977|Talk to me]]</font></sup><sub><font color="Purple">[[Special:Contributions/Raven1977|My edits]]</font></sub> 23:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
''Despierta America'' is a morning talk show, which is credible, like any other morning talk shows. I found another [http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/other/story/963130-p3.html source] regarding his engagement and it is from the ''[[Miami Herald]]'', a reliable source. Apparently, he also mentioned that he was engaged in his appearance last night with Jay Leno on the ''Tonight Show'', so. --<span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User:ThinkBlue|'''<span style="background:MediumBlue;color:White"> &nbsp;ThinkBlue&nbsp;</span>''']] </span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User_talk:ThinkBlue|(Hit]]</span> <span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User:ThinkBlue/Autograph book|'''BLUE''')]]</span> 22:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

==The Rock==
Should it be mentioned in the article that he is repeatedly calling out Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and has officially challenged him to a match at Mania 26? IMO yes but i want to know that some of you think.[[User:LifeStroke420|LifeStroke420]] ([[User talk:LifeStroke420|talk]]) 19:36, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

::Okay, I have to agree on the issue that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball that predicts the future, but what I think LifeStroke means is that it is worth mentioning. Cena seems to have some sort of personal vendetta against the Rock, stating that he, for lack of a better word, betrayed the WWE by claiming how much he loved it then leaving it silently to pursue an acting career. I don't think the challenge itself is necessary, nor am I saying that his feelings about the Rock should be states here either, but are definitely worth considering.--[[User:Lord Dagon|Lord Dagon]] ([[User talk:Lord Dagon|talk]]) 20:28, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Except that it will likely come to nothing, The Rock isn't lacing up his boots for WWE any time soon. Give it a few weeks, and anyway WMXXVI isn't for a year, so there is some crystalballing in putting it in. [[User:Darrenhusted|Darrenhusted]] ([[User talk:Darrenhusted|talk]]) 20:46, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

There should be some reference, under Controversy or Fued, something to that degree because there has been public interviews about the issue. This is John Cena's feelings about people who were the flagship company man who lived the company, ate the company, and breathed the company to basically not give back. John is the new company man and he is sticking up for WWE. There should be some acknowledgement. When the next Wrestlemania comes, we will see. Like said the Rock doesnt need, nor doesnt care about lacing up. So this may go nowhere. But none the less is still relevant.

Could we not have some more interesting and indicative headers to the subsections in his wrestling career? A lot of the other articles do that, I don’t know why this one doesn’t.
