I'm sure I said this before, but the first time I saw John Cena on WWE programming was in the 2003 Royal Rumble. He came out rapping and I immediately started laughing at the gimmick, seriously thinking it'd probably be the death of him in the company. I lived in an area that didn't get UPN as part of the cable, so I wasn't aware of the amazing stuff he'd done on Smackdown! from his match with Kurt Angle and other stuff before the rapper gimmick.
