History TheReasonYouSuckSpeech / JohnCena

'''John Cena:''' ''Would you just shut up?! Honestly, these people are tired of you, you sound ridiculous -- I turn dreams into nightmares! -- where the hell did you get that one, a fortune cookie? The only dream you have ever turned into a nightmare is [[Wrestling/TripleH Triple H's]], because ten years ago he chose you, to teach you how to be a success in the WWE. And what did you do about it? YOU NEVER LIVED UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL! EVER!\\\

* After failing to secure his ''[=WrestleMania 34=]'' spot at ''[[Wrestling/WWEFastlane Fastlane 2018]]'', Cena goes back to his original plan of calling out Wrestling/TheUndertaker at the March 12, 2018 edition of ''RAW'' by delivering a combined WhatTheHellHero, GetAHoldOfYourselfMan, and YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre variation of this trope over The Undertaker's massive slump since ''[=WrestleMania 33=]'', going so far as to test his manhood and taking a few jabs on his broken ego, and bringing up Taker's workout videos with Wrestling/MichelleMcCool on Instagram to prove his point. This is later followed by a RousingSpeech for The Undertaker, as Cena asks if the fans wanted to see the Deadman kick his ass and ''Tombstone'' him in front of 75,000 people at ''[=WrestleMania 34=]''.
-->'''Cena:''' So, allow me to address The Undertaker himself; [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan get over your own ego!]] You see, the difference between you and me is when I fail, [[{{Determinator}} I get back up, I put a smile on my face, and I go to work to kick ass the next day]]. When you fail... When you fail, [[HeroicBSOD you hide your head in the sand, never to be seen from again]], because you’re so ashamed and embarrassed of what people will say about you. Amazing that [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen a symbol so strong is really so fragile]]. And [[QuitYourWhining stop hiding behind your lame excuses]]. You're ''not'' too old, you're ''not'' washed-up, you are ''not'' broken down, 'cuz if he was broken down, you wouldn't be posting workout videos on [[Wrestling/MichelleMcCool your wife's]] Instagram! The ''only'' person stopping this match from happening is ''you'', you self-centered, conceited, egomaniac! So if it takes feeding your ego to make it happen, allow me to try my best. Do you want to see The Undertaker kick my ass at [=WrestleMania=]? (''the crowd cheers'') '''Do you want to see The Undertaker Tombstone me in front of 75,000 people at [=WrestleMania=]!?''' (''the crowd cheers louder'') They want to see it, and I'd like to see ''you'' try it. So, Undertaker? At [=WrestleMania=] this year, I'm either going as a fan, which would be awesome, 'cuz I hope you're going too. It's gonna be a party. [[TheLastDance Or I'm going as your opponent, which will be history]]. ''The ball is in '''your''' court, Deadman''. Time to see if you're still alive. If I was you, I know what I would do; I would want [[BorrowedCatchphrase one]]... [[PunctuatedforEmphasis more]]... [[Wrestling/{{Christian}} match]].

* Cena again delivers such a speech on the 11/21/11 episode of Raw, reversing a planned HannibalLecture by [[Wrestling/TheMiz Awesome]] [[Wrestling/RonKillings Truth]] into a brilliant TRYSS, meant to drive the two cohorts against one another. It works.

* On the 5/14/12 edition of ''Raw'', Wrestling/JohnCena was at it again, verbally tearing apart John Laurinaitis and his egotistical rule as [[CorruptCorporateExecutive General Manager]] of both Raw & [=SmackDown=], calling him out on his ItsAllAboutMe mentality, chewing him out for firing the Big Show for ''[[DisproportionateRetribution mocking his voice]]'' ''while mocking his voice'', and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cutting him off whenever he started talking to call him a loser.]]
* He delivers a great one on CM Punk during the main event segment of the 10/9/2012 episode of RAW, calling out the recently [[FaceHeelTurn heel-turned]] Punk on his vicious quest for "respect" and telling the supposed Voice of the Voiceless that his campaign for change in WWE was nothing more but Punk being in the business for himself.
* Interesting enough, Wrestling/JohnCena delivers one on 12/31/12 Raw, finishing up the show with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43eW1V5ZSTU "messy" gift for both Dolph and AJ]].

* He did it again for a third time on the 12/2/2013 edition of RAW, this time to Wrestling/RandyOrton. He precedes it with a BigShutUp before going right into his TRYSS, ripping Orton for [[CallBack essentially defecting from Evolution]], and namely his mentors Wrestling/RicFlair and Wrestling/TripleH, who saw huge potential in Orton. [[note]]While it seemed like a good idea for Orton at the time (it started his first run as a {{Face}}), it definitely makes him look bad now that Triple H is COO of the WWE.[[/note]] He then finishes it off by brawling with Orton in a preview for their TLC Title Unification Match, putting him through a table.

* After failing to secure his ''[=WrestleMania 34=]'' spot at ''[[Wrestling/WWEFastlane Fastlane 2018]]'', Cena goes back to his original plan of calling out Wrestling/TheUndertaker at the 3/12/18 edition of ''RAW'' by delivering a combined WhatTheHellHero, GetAHoldOfYourselfMan, and YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre variation of this trope over The Undertaker's massive slump since ''[=WrestleMania 33=]'', going so far as to test his manhood and taking a few jabs on his broken ego, and bringing up Taker's workout videos with Wrestling/MichelleMcCool on Instagram to prove his point. This is later followed by a RousingSpeech for The Undertaker, as Cena asks if the fans wanted to see the Deadman kick his ass and ''Tombstone'' him in front of 75,000 people at ''[=WrestleMania 34=]''.

When it comes to this yard, you probably haven't learned it yet, there is only one rule: Step up or step aside! And over the years, there's been a few to step up, but nobody to ever keep up! And then I finally hear about this one guy, The Guy, ''The'' Roman Reigns, ''THE'' one that can keep up... And now I look at ya, and I listen to ya... You should be ashamed I'm a part-timer, 'cause I can do this part time better than you could ''ever'' do it full time.

No, it's cool, because at least you're ''doing'' something. I'm ''still'' trying to figure out what ''[To Maryse]'' you're doing here. Did you know that right now, there is a women's revolution going on? And that means each and every week, women aren't just allowed, they are encouraged to step in this ring and prove that they are just as good, if not better, than men. I don't know if you guys saw this, but last week, Nicole picked up [[Wrestling/TylerBreeze a dude]] who was 210 pounds and threw him around like he was a waste of space. ''[To Maryse]'' Every week, you show up, steal a paycheck, and you ''are'' a waste of space.\\\

'''Cena:''' You done? You see, because Roman Reigns is a fool. Roman Reigns is a damn fool. There's an old saying, it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're stupid than open it and prove 'em right. You, of all people, you waltz down here and use the same pathetic excuse that every other single person before you has done. You, with all your gifts, and all your opportunities, you have the gall to blame me. That's fine, that's fine, Big Dog. Congratulations, it took you five years to cut a halfway decent promo but now I'm about to shrink you down to size.\\\
OK, so everyone back there thinks I've got this mythical, golden shovel; that I've got this magical powers that I can control everything and keep everybody's fate. Dude, I can't tell if you're blind or stupid. Look and listen, they ''[He points at the crowd.]'' hold the keys, they always have, they always will. But, you gotta blame me. Fine, I've been hearing the same racket for 10 years, and I ain't tired of it yet. I'm strong enough, I've been called a lot worse by a lot tougher.\\\
But you actually believe that I'm a shark, that I hold everybody down, that I swim to the top and and keep 'em underwater at any and all costs. I haven't main-evented Wrestlemania in 5 years. I was the opening match at Summerslam. I was honored and privileged to earn the United States title at this stage in my career, and use it as a beacon of opportunity to introduce new superstars to the WWE like Wrestling/KevinOwens and Wrestling/AJStyles, just to name a few.\\

You took the US title as a demotion, and you stand there and blame me. Fine, I blame you. I'm still here because you can't do your job!\\

When it comes to this yard, you probably haven't learned it yet, there is only one rule: step up or step aside! And over the years, there's been a few to step up, but nobody could ever keep up!\\

And then I finally hear about this one guy, The Guy, ''The'' Roman Reigns, the one that can keep up... And now I look at ya, and I listen to ya... You should be ashamed I'm a part-timer, 'cause I can do this part time better than you could ''ever'' do it full time.

But you sit over there steaming mad, thinking you should be given opportunity because of your family legacy, thinking you should be given opportunity because of your talent. Why don't you think in one hand and crap in the other, see which one fills up first?

-->Two things happened last night; the world found out the Rock never lost it, he's just as good as he ever was, and now all eyes are focused on April 1 in Miami for Wrestlemania!... And two; nobody cares about you guys! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis AT! ALL!]] I mean after all this you try so hard to convince people that you're a legitimate threat. Everybody should be afraid of the Awesome Truth? You wanna know what's awesome? (To [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]]) He thinks you're a wacked-out nutjob who never had any talent in the first place who's just riding his coat tails. (To Wrestling/TheMiz) And you want to know what the truth is? The truth is he thinks you're a pompous, arrogant, attention stealing D-Lister whose greatest accomplishment was being a skinny loud mouth on a crappy reality show. But don't boo me, you should be booing yourselves.

* On the last episode of ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'' before ''Wrestling/WrestleMania XXVI'', he delivers one to Wrestling/{{Batista}} for being a DirtyCoward who hides behind security, should be fired for not doing his job properly, and thus proving that he can be beaten.

'''Cena:''' You hear that? The reason they cheer for him is because he works and he earns it. A guy like you has been given ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis every! single! thing]]'' in the WWE! I'm about to hit you in the face with some truth. Ever since you came to the WWE training center, you were untouchable, you were bullet-proof, you couldn't be fired. [[CreatorsPet Nobody could touch Randy Orton because THEY liked you.]] And then you get to the WWE and what happens? You get sheltered behind [[Wrestling/TripleH the best performer in the business]]. Nothing's changed, Randy. All you do is hide behind Triple H. All you do is hide behind Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon. ''And you got the balls to stand in this ring and say you're better than anybody here?! You say you're bigger than all of this?\\\

You see, ''that's'' what being a champion is all about, a certain level of respect, and last week I wasn't going to take you out. I just wanted to make a statement. That when the chips are down, ''I can be just as brutal as you.'' So write now, I'm gonna make one more statement because I know exactly what this ''[the heavyweight championship belt]'' means. ''(holds out his hand to Orton)'' This Sunday will be physical. And it will be brutal. And I will be at my very best. I just hope you are too, because after this Sunday, the last thing anyone is going to want to deal with... is ''just another Randy Orton excuse.'' Good luck on Sunday. You're gonna need it.

* On the July 18, 2011 episode of ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', he delivers an epic one to Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, calling him out on the Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob and what it did to Wrestling/ShawnMichaels' career and how he had no intention of being the next one to be Vince's fall guy and get a black mark on his career all just because Vince doesn't like the guy he's going up against. (If you're a Cena-lover, you'll relish this. If you're a Cena-hater, you're liable to just roll your eyes and think "There goes WWE's self-appointed moralist again.")
