. @JBHuskers I drafted @JohnCena from #OVW. I pushed for Cena from day one. @StephMcMahon heard him rap on a bus in the UK, and pushed 4 it.

. @JBHuskers My push for @JohnCena was NEVER "don't do the rap gimmick" but "don't do ONLY the rap gimmick," which was the correct
formula.

. @JBHuskers And you can't discuss the Cena rap gimmick era and his expansion from it w/o talking about @Lagana, who deserves massive props!
