Why is Cena talking in that voice when he was a rapper?

[BrockLesnarFanForLife]

Remember when he was that thugonomics character with that voice well Cena seems to be talking in that tone since being back why is he doing that?

Such a thread worthy topic.

Probably to counter balance Sandow's high and mighty intellectual character. Or to freshen up his own character a bit.

Such a thread worthy topic.

Hey, it's a much better thread than that "Ryback Tweets John Cena" thread you made back on MP. What she's talking about could be interesting.

As for the voice thing, I have not noticed it yet but you could be right.

 

[seabs]

He always does this stuff

Difference is I was a forum noob back then.

 

[THG?]

Did he do it on Smackdown or wot?

If it bothers you so much, don't even enter the thread. All you do is bitch and moan.

Shit, now I'm bitching :urm:

It's probably to give his character some variety as Stop said earlier.

 

[Brad.]

I noticed it too, saying "y'all" loads. To contrast with Sandow probably.

I was making a joke, I don't bitch and moan.

I also want to point out a master-level psychological ploy that Cena carried out, one that is usually reserved for high-level politicians. Listen to Cena's promo, he added a subtle good ol' southern boy to his accent, even his verbiage changed. It wasn't over the top, it came off like, "oh me, I grew up in the south, but then moved to Boston, but you can still hear I have a lil' southerner in me." It connects him to them, despite whether it's true or not.

He stops enunciating words. Drops the "g" off words ending in "-ing," it's tone things. I looked it up, and low and behold, this week's Raw came from Greenville, South Carolina. I think it's safe to say I nailed that.

This is a common political tactic to get the crowd on your side. Hillary Clinton got called out for it when she was running for president. It gives the masses a way of feeling a better direct connection with you when they talk and sound like you do. You're now one of them.

This is from last year, Cena is very intelligent with his pronunciation techniques.
