Let's see if we can track the origins of how this album came to be. (Not meant to be complete but the general chain of events) It starts on WWE: Smackdown a few years back, Kurt Angle is in the ring offering to give someone a shot at stardom, out comes one John Cena, sadly, while he shows some spark, he doesn't really grab the crowd, Halloween roles around and all the wrestlers are in costumes, in comes Cena done up like Vanilla Ice and gives a goofy little rap, the rap thing becomes a part of the gimmick, gimmick becomes popular, then talks of an album comes up. That brings us to the present where a wrestling gimmick inspired a rap album. The big question is it any good? Also, will he have any credibility in the music industry? Hmmmm.…

People are crazy here, calmez-vous un peu! You cannot love someone if you never meet him. I call that fanatic person, you love the caracter he is in wrestling but you don't know him in real. Vous ne pouvez pas aimer quelqu'un sans le connaitre en vrai, ceci s'appelle du fanatisme. Well, of course, he's happy to know that he had fan like you but make sure that you don't be obsessed by him.
