Pav i got something to ask u about. Why doesn't nobody ever talk about how Cena tore through The heavyweight championship strap 16 time tying the all time most title wins with Rick Flair then just stopped. And I get it Flair is a legend, but Cena got there so quick and so much force behind him that it was such a weird feeling that he didn't get anymore championship wins and didn't beat the record (To this day). Maybe it's something u could look into and make a vid on. U can put it in perspective and get eyes on this idea. Look back at all the title matches he won and the momentum he was on, then all the title shots he's lost since hitting #16. I would love to see it and hear ur thoughts, cause I've thought it for a long time and never heard anyone bring it up. Thanx
i was honestly so shocked when Brock buried him like that. He was literally the face of the company and he got demolished. I just felt bad for the "Let's go Cena" kid in the crowd
“The Death Of Superman” match was such a spectacle live but with wresting moving so fast in recent years, you remember things like this like it was yesterday when it was almost a decade ago.
Yeah, but there is one thing that I disagree with you and other people alike. That is the comparison between super Cena and Superman. Superman is not like super cena.
Brock Lesnar was wild in 2014. Man went from a 92 overall to 99 overall with a cheat code that made him invincible. Also added with every move being overpowered like a finisher after he beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. John Cena never had a chance. Brock was simply unstoppable at that point. 💀
Summer slam 2014 was the closest we’ve seen to a legit murder in the ring but since ric flair decided he wants to wrestle again his match is easily gonna take the cake
I know many people hated Cena, specially "Super Cena" but as someone who got bullied and was just overall depressed. even suicidal at many points. Man did that guy inspire me to keep on going! Despite the odds, never surrender. Thank you John Cena!
it was just bad booking for anyone other than a little scared kid and thats exactly why most fans from the attitude era left at the beginning of that so around 2008
@@kokocaptainqc I never said I was scared. Oh bu hu, WWE was PG and made for children. Most hardcore fans had already left long ago. Those who remained should have seen it coming miles away
@@BRO_Spacelow no those hardcore fans never left those hardcore fans were hiding in the background as haters and toxic people that were trying to bring down John Cena and have him lose every match
I love super Cena I miss these times life was simple and easy around this time I wish this version of Cena was still here winning championships can’t stand these asshole haters
I was a casual fan of Cena, wasn’t my favorite wrestler, but I didn’t hate him either like everybody else did, I felt bad seeing poor John get clapped by Brock Lesnar
I remember being a whole ass grown man watching this match with my head in my hands saying "stop he's done you won" lmao felt like a little kid again in that moment
2014 was Brock Lesnar's year. Ending the Undertaker's streak at Wrestlemania 30 and squashing John Cena at Summer Slam for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Both of my childhood heroes got destroyed in 2 of the biggest shows.
From a storytelling POV this booking made total sense. Lesnar had just destroyed the Wrestlemania streak, his momentum was too great. Also their last match at extreme rules ( circa 2012) ended with Cena winning clean. Lesnar needed to repay the favour. This is one of my favourite ever matches. I love to see Cena lose and Brock wreck havoc. This is like doomsday vs superman the wrestling version.
I'll say that 2009 and 2010 were the prime Super Cena years, but I vividly remember watching his match against Brock Lesnar and was shook that he barely managed to get any offense going, not to mention the fact that Brock absolutely destroyed him. That match marked the end of Super Cena and the birth of Suplex City.
hey man john Cena got me into wrestling I ain’t going to let you bash John Cena hold up get your facts right is it really the night that super Cena died I don’t think so John Cena did the job and had to put Brock over cause he beat undertaker streak John Cena would have beat Brock’s ass if fans didn’t hate so much wrestling fans sabotaged John Cena career forced him to lose 6 straight summerslams from 2011-2016 when Brock left in 2004 John Cena became a bigger star and legend then Brock ever could be
This match was definitely a complete shocker. An unexpected surprise that deadass no one saw coming. I remember seeing this for the first time and I was stunned with my mouth on the floor for nearly an hour. I never thought this would happen and it did. And it was at that moment I realized, Brock Lesnar will forever be king. Just wow.
For reals, even tho I was 10 when this match aired, I was somewhat aware of The Super Cena era, I i legit thought Cena got mauled, I wasn’t even traumatized, I was just lost for words
@@pleaseshutup7053Lesnar beating the streak was a bad match and it was boring to be honest & the only memorable thing about the match was Paul Heyman's reaction when the streak broke. If only that match was half as good as the Summerslam match against Taker it would've been memorable.
Bro really you know Cena lost on purpose right Cena did the job because he knew fans were still bitching about Cena winning all the time and all of the asshole fans wanted to see Cena lose and they got what they wanted Cena should have fucking won man

This was just a few months after Wrestlemania 30. A night that quintessentially changed the landscape of things in WWE when it came to Super Cena. On that night of Wrestlemania 30, not only did Brock end the Undertaker's streak, but Cena beat Bray Wyatt in a move that was universally panned by everyone. After that backlash at such an extreme level, the WWE made the smart move to pivot to Brock whom had just beaten the Undertaker's streak and have him destroy Cena the way someone who WOULD have beaten the streak should.
John Cena should have beaten brock dude that was a stupid decision you fans are dumb for having forced Cena to have to get squashed Cena should have beaten brock at summerslam
@@christian6455 John Cena should have won he is the one and only ultimate true greatest face of all time he was a babyface for so long he literally revolutionized the business

@@trewilliams8411 sorry cena fanboy, cena could barely wrestle and almost all his title reigns were boring and short. Cry harder cena fanboy, I love how sad you are when cena has to lose a match. Did you forget how many great talents had to lose against the boring cena as well? So quit crying, baby boo XD
This was also the birth of "Suplex City" and Brock coming up with his own "2 Moves of Doom" consisting of Suplexes and F5s. The birth and realisation that Brock didn't even have to put in any work and just have to show up, suplex a bunch, F5, and leave. The squash match Brock was born. It's also crazy how they'd been pushing his Kimora Lock submission for years and making it be so lethal and putting people out of action and then it was just forgotten after this match.
@@trewilliams8411 because literally under every video about Cena almost ALL the comments start with ''i remember seeing this as a kid and...'' so Cena is for kids period.....anyone will still call you kid as long as Cena is your hero thats just it. basically loving Cena above everything else = being a kid
This honestly needed to happen, because at that point- after that "3" was counted... It showed the audience that NO ONE is safe in the eyes of the booker. It finally removed that veil of cheesy.
I love how you implement the gameplay from older video games into the specific time period you’re speaking about. Love your content and keep up the good work!
Aaaah, the nostalgia. I was 13 y.o at that time and because I started watching WWE in 2011, I was aware of Super Cena. Wasn't a big fan of him because he robbed Rey Mysterio after lil man held the WWE title only for a few hours. Summerslam 2014 for me was a pretty forgettable show, except awesome lumberjack match between Rollins and Ambrose and of course...the murder of Super Cena himself. Ofc everyone was shocked, myself included, when Cena lost after getting his butt suplexed for 16 times. But at that time I was 100% sure that he will comeback even stronger. But it never happened. Damn, Cena is such a legend. I miss him. We need to see his one last main event run.
@@malone4735 Dr, Thuganomics cena is Goated. I like my wrestling with unique characters that feel real not robotic wannabe super hero that aren’t relatable in any way
John Cena is a goat his dedication towards wwe is on a different level he let brock squash him he let taker squash him he even got pinned by taking one spear from roman last year no face of the wwe ever did that and no one ever will do this like why the face of the company would lose in a squash match but cena did that because he is John Cena.
Facts man thank you people are delusional John Cena was the guy the Face of entire company for 10 plus years Brock isn’t on John Cena level he was the next big thing but never the guy John Cena became bigger then Brock ever dreamed of becoming in WWE get summerslam 2014 out of here Cena should have won
Nah man, I was 17 at the time and couldn’t believe my eyes! Almost 9 years watching Cena come out on top, and never losing cleanly. And Lesnar just killed him that day
you people are delusional John Cena was the guy the Face of entire company for 10 plus years Brock isn’t on John Cena level he was the next big thing but never the guy John Cena became bigger then Brock ever dreamed of becoming in WWE get summerslam 2014 out of here Cena should have won
@@trewilliams8411 yeah i do because i’m not a small minded fool that likes watching the same shit on low excitement over and over again. would i rather watch a brock lesnar match or a john cena match. easy, a brock match every time. your profile picture is literally john cena, no point arguing with a deluded man child on this topic 😂
@@trewilliams8411 Cena put no one over. Hush-up, Tre. Thank God that era ended. Cena's character/gimmick peaked during The Marine Era (2006.). And Vince not allowing RVD to have the WWE Championship Reign because of a damn weed charge was really a masked excuse for him to put it right back on Cena. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Now they're selling marijuana merch. I hate Vince, bro. Lol. RVD's legacy ruined. Just like that. Should have "AT LEAST" gotten the title back at the following Wrestlemania in his home state.
This whole match reminds of Jiren vs Goku in Dragon Ball Super 😭😭 The way Brock was just Suplexing Cena back to back to back was so brutal. I was yelling for the ref to throw up the X to stop the match 🤣
Cena should have beaten Brock at summerslam but John Cena had to do the job at summerslam because fans wanted to see Cena lose they hated john Cena so much that Cena was forced to lose matches at Summerslam Cena was the guy the Face of entire business
I remember my heart beating so fast in my chest during that match, I so emotionally invested in both guys. Had to watch the match again the next day it was so good.
I had been off wrestling by this time but I remember hearing of this match in high school & how Cena was embarrassed at first I was like no way but when I watched the match I was like dang. They didn’t have to make Cena go out like that.
If Cena ever comes back full time to any promotion he should play a character like homelander where he gradually gets more crazier and crazier until he finally just turns heel
Imagine if Brock never left, he would have been the face of the company over Cena but then we wouldn't have had those awesome Cena promos in the RA Era.
Umm thing is that Brock wasn't going to be the face because remember being the face meant being everywhere Brock never had it in him to travel year round and wasn't a people person, he would be on the main event but not really the face.
@@thejuansshow6410 I agree, that’s the reason Brock left the company in the first place. He couldn’t handle the pressure, it was very well documented in that Ruthless Aggression episode on the network.
@@bigdonald123 like I mentioned John was going to outwork lesnar because he didn’t see this business the same way John did. John was committed to put the time in lesnar was never even a fan.
Great story telling Pav! This was after my time. And I can't stomach watching whole shows from this or the current era. But you bring some of the things that I missed to life in a way that brings the feels/nostalgia/hype. Thanks for that!
Im 17 now, and remember how traumatised and bitter I was from that match. I deadass through out my wrestling figures and quit watching WWE for a good two years after that 💀💀

I think Super Cena was still alive He beat Brock Lesnar at NOC and Clean Pinned him until Rollins interfered He took US title and gave us such an incredible run He died after he became part timer(after losing to Alberto Del Rio at HIAC) He was then a part timer and focused on putting stars over and that is when SUPER CENA died!
I remember this night it was the summer of 2014 I was at my grandparents house me, my brothers, my cousins, and Uncle's we're watching the PPV Excited then the main event came on I was 12 years old watching the PPV and I couldn't believe what happened in front of my eyes Cena was destroyed and dominated by Brock Lesnar but I still will always love John hope he comes back to the ring soon we miss you John ❤️ also nice vid pat keep up the great work really making my summer great thanks Man you're so relatable and cool

I gotta hand it to you you have your way with putting things into such a descriptive perspective you've made me see this event in a whole new light and realized you are absolutely right on it all and it's crazy to think about. Keep up the vids like this. But what about the "The Night The Reign of Terror ended" (triple h world heavyweight title reigns that lasted years)
The death of super Cena led to the best stretch of his career in the ring since that formula was dead the US open challenges, the matches with Seth Rollins and KO, and his trilogy with AJ where he showed why he was the face that runs the place
you people are delusional stop saying the death of super Cena john Cena was the guy the Face of entire company for 10 plus years Brock isn’t on John Cena level he was the next big thing but never the guy John Cena became bigger then Brock ever dreamed of becoming in WWE get summerslam 2014 out of here Cena should have won
@@trewilliams8411 well you can’t deny that squash match was the death of the super Cena run where Cena always fought back and usually overcame not this time nobody denies he’s the man and face of the business and one of the greatest of all time
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob no not one of he is the greatest Brock isn’t top id he is he’s number 10 John Cena is leaps and bounds better then lesnar ever be summerslam 2014 is nothing you wrestling fans hated Cena so much that John Cena had to do the job at summerslam because fans wanted to see Cena lose they were happy when that happens the old men the old attitude era fans they hated Cena I was looking at Cena matches at summerslam you can tell it looked like he was going to win at first cause he was just beating cm punks ass danial bryan seth Rollins Aj styles ass in matches and also beat Brock but fans always say when Cena wins a match that it’s him burying people when he put a list of guys over
I remember wanting Brock to win, but when I heard that kid over all the silence it made me think of when I was a kid rooting for cena and it damn near broke my heart
Yeah A crime scene for lesnar john Cena was forced to lose because of the asshole wrestling fans wanting him to lose so bad that WWE was forced to have Cena get squashed I hate wrestling fans forever for that
Facts John Cena had to do the job at summerslam because fans wanted to see Cena lose they hated john Cena so much that Cena was forced to lose matches at Summerslam Cena was the guy the Face of entire com
Few things in life, give me as much joy as hearing that kid chanting "Let's Go Cena" as Cena was getting bodied. Just that desperate plea for a glimmer of hope, only to be denied repeatedly.
His previous match with brock was spectacular,they busted each other up and went all out and the pg rating was still there They went for the ufc realistic approach here,then oldberg repaid the favor by squashing brock
When I watched the match live I legit was surprised at how badly Cena was killed by Lesnar, fans and myself thought “oh yea, Cena gets his ass kicked, but as usual he’ll find a way to prevail” but nah
Coles “…it wasn’t even close” line is one of my favorites from any commentary guy. It’s the downtrodden, shocked moments like that where he shines. Like when Punk beat Cena and he says “…oh my God.” at the 3 count. Even better to me than JR who would probably really overdo it like “BAH GAWD CM PUNK” as if anyone would talk like that when something that shocking happens. Don’t get me wrong, JRs the best ever, though.
No their lying John Cena didn’t die that night fans that say that are haters they We’re happy and wanted john Cena to lose you know wrestling fans dictate especially nowadays weather a wrestler wins or lose now
just so you know, that was supposed to be Daniel Bryan. since bryan was a crowd fav WWE thought it would be best to decimate the crowd darling since they were thinking of making Lesnar a unstopabble monster.
Hearing the effect of this match on a younger generation, it put one thing into my mind: Waaaaayyyy back in 1971, long before either of us were around, back when WWE had an F and three W's, when Ivan Koloff beat Bruno Sammartino for the belt, according to Bruno, the crowd was so shocked at this that he thought he'd gone deaf for a moment. Bruno was Vince Sr.'s Superman Megastar, he'd held the title of champion for like eight years, and now he's been revealed as just as mortal as the rest of us ? And much like history always repeats itself, when Bruno came back to the top of the mountain, he was never quite so invincible again, which only reinvigorated his fame, because now there was the risk of him losing. Granted, he was much less divisive than Cena, but the general point is what's important here.
Hey wrestliggifs you might not see this but thank you for posting I was feeling really shitty about my self but you came and saved the day like super cena
@@WrestlinGifs Cena should have beaten Brock at summerslam but yet fans don’t tell you John Cena had to do the job at summerslam because fans wanted to see Cena lose they hated john Cena so much that Cena was forced to lose matches at Summerslam Cena was the guy the Face of entire business for years and fans don’t see him like they see Austin rock or more they talk trash about Cena accomplishments because they know it’s more then Brock lesnar could ever accomplish in the industry fans hated Cena so much they were plotting for Cena to lose at summerslam just like what the fans did to get punk over and danial bryan and Becky lynch at wrestlemania the opposite was for Cena with the fans wrestling fans was trying to bring Cena down and have him lose and yet wrestling fans say they never get what they want just trash SMH
I remember I was just 5 or 6 years old that time and I was literally waiting for that moment when suddenly John Cena would have turned the game but unfortunately that moment never came I miss that super Cena
Summer 2014 was flat out crazy tho LeBron went back to Cleveland, The Shield broke up, 22 Jump Street was better than the 21 Jump Street, Guardians of the Galaxy was 🔥, I went High School in August, Bryan was injured, Punk got fired on his wedding day SMH, The Bullet Club takes over Pro Wrestling, The Birth of Suplex City what a time. 😭
I couldn’t even finish 22 jump street. First one totally memorable second one that’s debatable. CM PUNK is overrated. Guardians was fun but the second one is better. The story is more character driven and it’s emotionally satisfying. Daniel Bryan’s lady title reign was his best title reign. The shield breaking up is one of raw’s most shocking but greatest moments of all time.
Super cena for me started in 2005. He won the WWE title at WM21 then held it for 280 days and only lost it because edge cashed in MITB After an elimination chamber match. 1 month later he won it back.Then later he held the title for Over a year straight beating everyone from 06-07. Bobby lashley, Umaga, Great Khali, Randy Orton, Triple H, Mr Kennedy, HBK, and only lost the title due to injury.
@@WrestlinGifs that was certainly Super Cena in that I quit match with JBL ,dude always overcomes the adds ,especially in his first elimination chamber match.
Super Cena = Pre Crisis Superman Brock Lesnar = Mongul People were so fed up of Supes winning all the time so they created and wrote Mongul into the story to be stronger than him
I was 7 when this happened, so i couldnt stay up and watch it live(im from England)so my dad would record it after watching it for me to watch the morning after. Everytime i would ask him “Did Cena Win?” He would smile, turn it on and we watched him win his match. The night after summerslam, i asked him “Did Cena win the match?” He smiled, and we turned it on. What came after we turned the match on, traumatised me for a while. It still gets brought up sometimes at dinner, its all a joke now, but back then that match destroyed me inside
This man straight up got murdered. I have never seen the match simply because I knew I couldn't handle it. I was also 14 at the time, so. Maybe I'll watch it soon 😂
From a storytelling POV this booking made total sense. Lesnar had just destroyed the Wrestlemania streak, his momentum was too great. Also their last match at extreme rules ( circa 2012) ended with Cena winning clean. Lesnar needed to repay the favour. This is one of my favourite ever matches. I love to see Cena lose and Brock wreck havoc. This is like doomsday vs superman the wrestling version.

Also the day where AA died as finisher, Brock shrugs away from those 2 AA like Jhon had cuddled him. Since then AA was getting kicked out day in day out. And finally Roman buried it like it was punch kicking out of 4😒😥
Grew up watching John Cena. He was one of my favorites back when he was on Smackdown when I was like 8. Fast forward and 2010 I'm 15 or at least about to be (August B-day) and just got tired of him. Already was a TNA fan but then also started watching ROH to fill the void since I had the channel it was on plus for a brief time Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. Then I hear Lesnar came back but wasn't enough cause he lost to Cena first. Then something about SummerSlam 2014 I just turned 19 and yeah I watched it and couldn't be happier and got back into WWE for a few more years til Roman got pushed hard.
I got friends who are older wrestling fans and they absolutely loved seeing Cena get his ass whooped by Brock that night. For everyone who hated Super Cena, this match is absolutely cathartic for them.
I went to this SummerSlam. I remember the kid in front of me being disappointed. But so many of us were cheering with every suplex! Ill never forget that match.
I had school the next day and I could not forget that match. When John hit that AA and had Brock in the stf i was on the edge of my seat. It was his only opportunity. I mean Cena beat him just 2 years before so seeing this i was stunned
It was annoying to watch Brock be uncontestable. But in hindsight they did it amazingly well, if anything the lack of credible competition was in part due to how Cena was always treated to be on another level. So the guy who destroyed him so one-sidedly really wouldn't have any problems when Super Cena would always narrowly win against everyone.
I’ll never forget watching this live, my favorite wrestler of all time is Brock & 14 year old me was screaming at the tv crying and banging the floor so happy out of my mind. It was like when The Streak died and I had a similar reaction. 2 of the greatest moments of my life, what a year 2014 was lol
Bro for a young Dude at the time, I was actually enjoying myself seeing Super Cena getting rag dolled. ATM I was genuinely saying to myself, "This does put a smile on my face"
In India ppv used to telecast one week later the actual date. So me and my friends came to know about the result of the match (only the result) though we tried to avoid spoilers. I was such a Cena fan that I was even hoping the result to be fake. There were stories in cena's favour too but that was very made-up like (one was that taker returned and helped Cena to avenge his loss). But while watching the match I forgot Everything and was just hoping for a comeback by Cena. But...... The next day in school we were discussing the match with sad faces🤕
