John Cena Thinks His WWE’s Attitude Era Persona Wouldn’t Work Now
John Cena doesn't think WWE's Attitude Era from the 1990s would work today.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Cena shared his thoughts on why the Atttiude Era and his initial foul-mouthed rapper gimmick would not fit in WWE's current PG environment. The 16-time world champion explained he started changing his persona to that of The Marine once more and more families started showing up to live shows in the mid-2000s.
"Coming in in 2002 you’re still riding the coattails of the Attitude era," Cena said. "It’s 18-35-year-old males, it’s very visceral, the entertainment is very extreme. Fast forward to 2004, 2005, 2006, more families are showing up. and I don’t feel comfortable saying the things I was saying on the microphone because I got to look at a little kid and at that point, I’m supposed to be the good guy?"

Speaking to Kotaku, the Overwatch game director said: "A lot of times when I hear some of our fans pitch it, they’re like ‘Oh, just put a card in the Arcade one day that’s a battle royale mode,’ and I’m like ‘F**k, that would be awesome.'
