John
Cena is an American professional wrestler that
currently wrestles for the WWE wrestling promotion.
He's the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and
has been a huge success since joining the WWE in
2002. As well as wrestling; John Cena is also a
rapper, and even starred in the hit 2006 movie The
Marine'. John Cena is not just a fantastic name in
wrestling, but a huge star in many different forms
of entertainment. Cena first made his wrestling
debut in February 2000 at the age of twenty two,
wrestling for the Ultimate Pro Wrestling promotion.
He held the UPW Heavyweight Championship for just
under one month in April 2000, and in 2001 was
snapped up to wrestle for the WWE. Beginning his WWE
life with the WWE developmental program Ohio Valley
Wrestling in order to gain experience; John Cena
held the OVW Heavyweight Championship for three
months during his time with the promotion, and also
won the Tag Team Championship with Rico Constantino,
another wrestler who'd later go on to establish
himself as a big name with the WWE. John Cena took
part in his first WWE wrestling match in June 2002,
taking on Kurt Angle in a match which was ultimately
won by Angle. Over the coming year; John Cena really
began to establish himself in the WWE, and took on a
new hugely popular rapper gimmick. Continuing to
show himself to be a top performer in the WWE, Cena
finally got a taste of wrestling belt glory when he
defeated Big Show at Wrestlemania XX in March 2004.
Winning the United States Championship, he went on
to spend four months with the belt, before having it
officially stripped away from him by Kurt Angle.
Winning it back at No Mercy in November 2004, he
lost it just four days later as he was defeated by
Carlito Caribbean Cool. He won the title back for a
third and final time November 2004, and has since
moved on to bigger and better things within the WWE
wrestling promotion.

Disc 1
- YOUR hosts are Matt Striker (tho does an AWESOME Savage impression) and Maria (who provides the cleavage).
-We get a history of Angelo Poffo, Randy's father, who held the world sit-up record. Savage played minor league baseball before joining his dad's outlaw ICW wrestling promotion to wage a territory war against Jerry Jarrett. Quickly, we segue into his WWE debut, leading to...
Randy Savage vs. Rick McGraw
This is Savage's WWF debut in July 1985. He is announced as "wrestling's number one free agent" and jaws with the crowd and Howard Finkle on his way to the ring, still working the Memphis heel act. McGraw was actually mentioned in Bret Hart's autobiography for swallowing an amazing amount of drugs every night and passing out face-first in his dinner place. Lovely. After fighting over a lockup, Savage bails to the outside and gets nailed with a beer. McGraw wants to keep going, so Savage spits at him and stalls some more with posing. Finally, we get going again as Randy grabs an armbar (using the hair of course) and yells at Mean Gene, who is on announcing duty. McGraw tries to bring Savage down with a headscissors, but gets dropped on the top rope and takes a sleeper.
McGraw manages to comeback with an airplane spin into a Samoan drop but Savage is in the ropes. Monkey flip hits and McGraw gets a backslide for two, so Savage takes a powder. Savage comes back in and gets a snapmare followed by an elbow drop for two. Suplex gets another two count. McGraw ducks an elbow, but another one sends him to the outside, where Savage follows with a double axe handle from the top rope. That one got the crowd buzzing. McGraw tries to get back in, but Randy suplexes him on the floor, which has Gene and Gorilla calling for a disqualification. McGraw finally fights his way in and Randy misses a butt splash on the ropes, allowing McGraw to send him upside down into the corner. McGraw stomps away but eventually gets caught with a clothesline, enabling Savage to hit the flying elbow for the win.
Winner: Randy Savage
-Savage had a good deal of heat already, but the match had too much stalling and too many dead spots to be anything better than average. *3/4
-Striker and Maria recap the manager bidding war for Savage (an angle they would repeat with Bam Bam Bigelow) before Randy picks Miss Elizabeth, thus beginning my 20 year love affair with a manager. Interestingly enough, the original character of Elizabeth was a conniving bitch who was a shrewd businesswoman, but she fit into the mold of a sweet, innocent woman so well that they went that route instead.
