When John Cena Got "Stabbed" In 2004

[@wrestlingspremier]

Odd feud. It was all about the streets or something like that. Some people thought it was tasteless in light of the Johnny Devine stabbing. The feud though manage to make Carlito feel like a big deal. He was entertaining in and outside of the ring and Cena putting him over quickly showed that this guy is something. Also regarding the Bruiser Brody thing, for those of you that don't know about the entire story, please check it out, I clearly didn't do it justice in those few seconds. What did you think of this feud?

[@anesseameer]

Carltio lowkey had john cena number a few times on one on one matches

[@wrestlingspremier]

Yeah he beat alot more than some of the top guys.

[@babarazamsucks]

🤲🤲🤲Well I don’t know what else I could probably think of this feud after you said it all here and yeah, I do know of the tragic story surrounding Bruiser Brody’s untimely death so R.I.P. Bruiser Brody.🙏🙏🙏

The fact that Carlito won the US title in his WWE debut match against John Cena is something incredible.

[@lmaoitsmee1812]

And the IC Title in his Raw debut. Carlito really could’ve been a upper mid card/lower main eventer mainstay

[@Takerfan-nr5bk]

And they day that Cena never puts over younger talent.

[@antg2183]

@@Takerfan-nr5bk wasn’t this when Cena was in the mid card himself? I ain’t saying he don’t put people over or he does, but you can’t use this as an example of him putting over younger guys when he himself was still a younger guy at this time

[@BSmokeyGaming]

@@antg2183 I hate to say it, I’m a Cena fan, but Cena messed up a few younger talent even in his mid card career. Rene Dupree is a prime example.

@@lightfameemula7117 you do know that they don’t film a movie one day and release it the next, right? It’s a process, and a lot of times, a long one.

[@DOWNBAD_Tay]

@@menu3511 that was cool but it wasn’t the same though

[@Venemofthe888]

It worked so well because it was in Cena's hometown. Like he carried that heat and the injury really was ill timed.

[@lonewolfcorbin]

@@menu3511 nowhere near comparable. Umaga at the time was one of Cena's enemies, yes, but Carlito had so much mystique and aura at the time of his debut. Also, US Title in terms of booking from 2002-2008 > IC Title at the same timespan, and it's not even funny.

[@chimeratcg07]

John Cena's last feud as an Upper Midcard guy.

[@BrockSamsonVB]

That’s very true I never thought about it like that

[@sethfreakinrollins9889]

Whatever happened to Carlito? Did he only re-sign a deal with WWE for a few appearances post Royal Rumble season?

[@Rand0mHero713]

Sorta. He was mostly being trained for a backstage producer role/agent, but they "mutually" agreed it wasn't for him. I think it was he just wanted to still wrestle but they didn't wanna use him on tv.

Carlito was only wrestler to win titles on his first match on smackdown ( us championship)then drafted to raw at the next draft and won title ( intercontinental championship)his first match there

[@jcr2016]

I was there at Armageddon 2004, I was 6 haha. I remember my dad buying me his brass knuckles that said word life and his chain. I remember Cena whooping Jesus not too far from us. We were on the floor!

[@keyceandreas9254]

This storyline is very underrated in my opinion. The small details in the feud were great in relations to the gimmick Cena had at the time. Cena was pushed as a gangsta rapper, so they put him in a hip hop type beef. Carlito shows up, tells Cena he's not a gangsta basically, spits in his face, knocks out the "Doctor of Thuganomics" and takes his title first try. the most disrespectful part not many cared about was Carlito took his chain and walked around with it on. WWE took rap beef scenerios that actually happened, Ice Cube got knocked out and his chain taken in the mid 90's and 50 Cent was stabbed in a studio fight around 03-04, and recreated them in a wrestling setting. Cena always had the "brawler, blue chipper street guy" thing to his benefit so to see his tactics be used against him made for a great feud.

[@fitness65]

Just imagine had new jack been signed by the wwe we would've gotten a much better interesting match then Jesus vs John Cena. It's a shame that stabbing that new jack did happened around the same time the wwe was looking into signing new jack if only.

[@coreynance3874]

i remember this carlitos smackdown debut was thursday october 7 2004 and he beat john cena for the united states championship by blasting cena with his own steel chain. john cena had just beat booker t in the best of five series for the u.s title. he had a long feud with booker t that summer. kurt angle the general manager had stripped cena of the title for hitting him and had told cena if he hit him he would strip him of the u.s. title john cena and booker t ended up fighting outside the ring cena took a swing at booker t and he ducked and accidentally hit kurt angle then kurt stripped him of the title then john cena had to win it back in a best of five series against booker t. i remember these old episodes of raw and smackdown very well. i also remember john cena also had a feud with kenzo suzuki and renee dupree that spring or summer.

[@bradleysmoke1556]

That was a weird storyline considering Cena was off television because WWE wanted Cena to become the next big Hollywood star after The Rock doing big business as a major star so Cena was filming “The Marine” before the film came out 2 years later in 2006. So yeah, Cena wasn’t stabbed, it’s all because WWE just doesn’t understand what kayfabe means. And Jesus was Carlito’s bodyguard? I wonder how many former WWE superstars sucked as bodyguards. Like Mr. Hughes as Chris Jericho’s bodyguard during his 1999 run in the Attitude Era. Nobody cared and Hughes was soon released from the company.
