Still can't believe Cena gets paid to annoy me (and others)...

His fucking attire was ridiculous. Dude belonged on a bobsleigh team.

Didn't it start as a thing to cover up his ink? Been to prison/gang tattoos and such...
Also, even if that was true or not, he was in WWE at a time when most folks with tats PERIOD were kinda frowned upon whose name wasn't Undertaker. Hell, Orton supposedly got a lot of shit when he got stuff added initally. Their stance on visible tats has only loosened up since about the same time they also came to the realization that social media/internet presence was something other than 5 worldwide fans total had... and that's only been about ten years. Before that, it was like "Well, if you had a couple when we hired you we can't do anything about that, don't add anymore. And don't get sleeves." Now, just about every guy that DOESN'T have sleeves almost looks weird. |

I think the attire was to cover up a Malcolm X tattoo or something. Eh, I kind of liked it. It was a bit superficially goofy, but that kind of made him seem more "serious" in this idiosyncratic sort of way.
The tattoo thing makes sense. Part of what WWE is marketing is your image. Getting new tattoos kind of immediately dates that image. I don't know if they'd have a major problem if you just let them know you were getting it done or whatever. |

I meant, though, it doesn't seem to be *that* much of a problem anymore. Not like it was even a decade ago. Wish I could remember specifically, but I believe there are stories of people not getting hired because they had work done. Then, fast forward to now, and every bitch and their brother has something somewhere visible and get new ones all the time. For example, that big AJ on the side of Styles would have warranted him having to rock a singlet because Vince didn't like it. Corey Graves wouldn't have even had his pre-concussion NXT run even with the advantage of being tall weighed against how much ink he has. Same with Baron Corbin. Now, it's more like "who gives a shit?"

Oh yeah, that was a thing, wasn't it?
Guess the tradeoff is that everyone has to wear shoes. So, no barefoot Rusev, Asuka, or any "tribal" Samoan gimmick. |
