It seems pretty simple to true a wheel, but I heard a "thunk" sound a few times on my back wheel, and I think it was some spokes that popped or something, because now the wheel is much more wobbly.

So the question is: Does this mean that I have to take the wheel apart and replace some spokes, or can I just tighten them. I want to know if I should bother to go and buy a spoke wrench, or will it not do any good?

First and foremost this aint a 100% question Its Just for U to tell me what do u think & do u still look at cena the cena the same way. Here I Go: All Of U guys keep saying extremely bad stuff about him and thats not cuz of him its from the people who pick his gimmick they chose for him a Face Guy and as u may realize in some matches of cena He starts by hitting his opponents but the match turns on him by a rake in the eye or it doesnt have to be the beginning of the match lets say when he is fired up, Thats cause the face character makes the wwe lots of money. Afterall that aint cena's character his character is like his one on smackdown at the past he even said in his five questions episodes thats that aint his character and with his friends and family he goofs up and becomes what u might know.Another Thing is if u r a fan and have some upw videos of him u will see he was a talented guy and he even outwrestled batista at the past and when he used to be a body builder he was read on>

The Eagles took Blook in the 5th round. A hamstring injury prevented him from practing a lot during training camp. (practiced maybe a few days.) Last night against the Ravens, he returned a few kicks, but left early because of the hamstring. I cannot see the Eagles keeping him once they make their cut. Maybe keep him on the practice squad?

Career
[edit]
Early career
Cena first started training to become a wrestler in 2000 at the California-based Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) where he created the character, The Prototype. After UPW he was signed to a World Wrestling Entertainment developmental contract and assigned to "farm territory" Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).

During his time in OVW, he also appeared on the UPN reality show Manhunt under the pseudonym "Big Tim Kingman", the "lead hunter" in a team "hunting" contestant with paint ball guns. The show was produced in association with WWE. It was later revealed that many of the scenes in the show were re-shot or staged to enhance the drama, contests were rigged to eliminate contestants, and other contestants read from scripts. As a result of the controversy, WWE has never referenced the show or Cena's part in it. [1][2][3][4]

[edit]
World Wrestling Entertainment
[edit]
2002-2003
Cena's first televised WWE match was in answer to an open challenge by Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002. Inspired by Vince McMahon's (kayfabe) speech to WWE's rising stars, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a place among the legends, Cena took advantage of the opportunity and almost beat Kurt Angle kicking out of the Angle Slam and enduring the Ankle Lock submission hold, but ultimately lost to a hard, amateur-style pin.

Cena then played the role of a typical underdog face in each match. After losing, along side Billy Kidman, in a tournament match for the WWE Tag Team Championships, Cena turned heel, blaming Kidman for the loss. Shortly after his heel turn, on a Halloween episode of SmackDown!, he performed a freestyle rap for Stephanie McMahon while wearing a Vanilla Ice costume prompting a gimmick change to a white rapper. At first, this gimmick got Cena heel heat from the fans, but his frequent comical "freestyles" about other wrestlers helped to gain him a following. One of Cena's signature symbols during this time was the classic WWF logo (without the "F") along with the slogan "Word Life".

Cena eventually had a long running feud with Brock Lesnar over the WWE Championship. During the feud he unveiled a new signature finishing maneuver, the F-U, as a counterpart to Lesnar's similar F-5 (the name being derived from a combination of "F-5" and the shorthand for "**** You")[citation needed]. The two eventually joined forces when Lesnar also turned heel and together feuded with Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero before Cena turned face by betraying Lesnar and feuding with him again. Cena established his signature "you can't see me" catch phrase and hand gesture during this time.

[edit]
2004

Cena as the U.S. Champion with his customized "Spinner" U.S. Title Belt.During 2004 Cena's popularity began to increase. At the start of the year, he participated in the annual January Royal Rumble, lasting up to the final 6 before being eliminated by Big Show. After the elimination Cena and Big Show began a feud, leading to Cena winning the United States Championship from Show in a match at March's WrestleMania XX. Cena claimed the title, his first in WWE, by distracting the ref and using his signature brass knuckles on Big Show before hitting him with the F-U. In July he was stripped of the title by SmackDown! General Manager Kurt Angle, whom he had a contentious relationship with, after "attacking" him.

He won the title back at October's No Mercy after winning the final match of a Best-of-5 series with Booker T. This second reign was short-lived, however, as he lost the title to the debuting Carlito in the very next weeks SmackDown!.

This started a feud with Carlito, during which Cena was (kayfabe) attacked in a Boston nightclub by Carlito's bodyguard, Jesús, who stabbed him in the kidney, keeping him out of action for a month. In truth, this event was set up to allow Cena time off to film The Marine. Upon his return, Cena exacted revenge on Carlito in a SmackDown! match, winning back the U.S. title. During this reign he debuted his custom made spinner style title belt.


[edit]
2005
At the 2005 Royal Rumble, Cena and Batista went over the top rope at the same time to end the match, prompting Vince McMahon to demand the match be restarted and go into "sudden death".

With Batista choosing to vie for the (RAW exclusive) World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21, SmackDown! held a tournament to determine #1 contendership for the their WWE Championship. In the finals Cena pinned Kurt Angle to win the WrestleMania title shot.

In the following weeks, Cena feuded with champion John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) and his Cabinet, including losing his United States Championship to Cabinet member Orlando Jordan, who (with JBL) proceeded to "blow up" the custom spinner belt. It was during this feud that Cena first began referring to his fans as "Chain Gang Soldiers" (often shorted to just "Chain Gang").

On April 3, at WrestleMania 21, Cena defeated JBL to win the WWE Championship. As part of the storyline, he then had a custom WWE Championship belt made similar to his custom U.S. title belt, featuring a spinner-type WWE logo plate. Meanwhile, JBL took the original belt and claimed he was still the WWE Champion.


Cena after winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 21.Cena successfully defended his title against JBL in a bloody "I Quit" Match at Judgment Day in May when he forced JBL to quit by cornering him against a glass pane, and threatening to hit him with a tractor trailer's exhaust pipe. In the process Cena was able to reclaim the original title belt, though he continued to carry his version.

On the June 6th episode of RAW, John Cena became the first wrestler drafted in the annual draft lottery, when Eric Bischoff drafted him from SmackDown! over to RAW. Upon arriving on RAW, Cena immediately entered a program with Chris Jericho and Christian, two wrestlers with strong cult followings. Taking on these two seemingly began a trend of fan backlash against Cena. He went on to defeat Christian and Jericho in a Triple Threat match at the June Vengeance event by knocking Jericho out of the ring and pinning Christian.

During this feud Cena made (kayfabe) enemies with RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff with Bischoff vowing to make Cena's stint on RAW difficult and choosing Chris Jericho to take Cena's title from him.

On August 22, Cena beat Jericho again, this time in a "You're Fired" match for the WWE Championship - despite General Manager Bischoff giving Cena a low-blow and handing Jericho a pair of brass knuckles. After the match, with Jericho now off of RAW due to his loss, Kurt Angle came to the ring and attacked Cena, with Bischoff revealing that Angle was his new "hand picked" number one contender for Cena's world title. Despite Angle's best attempts to attain heel heat, the fans continued to cheer him and boo Cena.

After several weeks of feuding, Angle and Cena main evented September's Unforgiven, where Cena lost to Angle by disqualification after hitting him with the WWE title belt, meaning Cena would still be champion (titles don't change hands on a disqualification or count out). They met again at November's Survivor Series, with Cena picking up the win this time.

When Vince McMahon returned to RAW to (kayfabe) put Bischoff on trial in December, Cena made his opinion of Bischoff known and eventually helped Vince McMahon remove Bischoff from the show by delivering the F-U to the former RAW GM, effectively ending the hostilities he had with Bischoff.

[edit]
2006
Cena successfully defended his WWE Championship in an Elimination Chamber at the January New Years Revolution to kick off 2006, to the dismay of many in attendance. However, after the match, Vince McMahon announced that Cena was going to have to defend the WWE Championship again, this time against Edge, who was cashing in his previously earned Money in the Bank title shot. Edge delivered two spears to a tired Cena, pinning him in short order to win the WWE Championship. Cena's championship reign ended at 280 days, matching that of previous champion JBL.

Three weeks, to the day, after losing the title Cena defeated Edge at the Royal Rumble to regain the WWE Championship. During this time WWE announcers, most notably Jim Ross, were forced to acknowledge the negative reactions Cena was getting and began to refer to him as a "controversial champion" saying that he was alienating some fans with his "unorthodox style".


Cena after his victory over Triple H at WrestleMania 22.Jerry Lawler would often suggest that Cena was too young, edgy and original for the older audience to appreciate. Cena continued to polarize crowds leading up to WrestleMania 22, during which he was soundly jeered during his main event win over Triple H. Despite Triple H's best attempts to get heat, the crowd continued to favor him over Cena. Both Cena and Vince McMahon were reported as being (legitly) upset by fans' negativity, though Cena stated that the fans "obviously had a choice in deciding whom they wanted to root for".

The crowd began to cheer Cena once again after April's Backlash, most notably when he began to side with the popular Shawn Michaels in matches against the Spirit Squad. After Cena stopped taking part in this angle and moved on to working against Rob Van Dam there was once again a notable mixture of cheers and boos in most every arena visited, with some being more pro-Cena and some more against him.

On the May 22nd edition of RAW, Rob Van Dam informed Cena that he intended to cash in the Money in the Bank title match contract he won at WrestleMania at the upcoming Extreme Championship Wrestling One Night Stand pay-per-view event. The event saw Cena get his most negative reaction yet from the very pro-ECW crowd, including profanity-laced chants and anti-Cena signs. Cena lost the title at the event when Edge appeared from under the ring and speared Cena through a table, setting him up for Van Dam's Five Star Frog Splash. With two referees "knocked out" (the first by Cena, the second by Edge) Paul Heyman ran down the entrance aisle and counted the three count, giving Van Dam the win and his first world title. On the next nights RAW Paul Heyman announced that the title change was official, as the match was under "Extreme rules".

When Edge won the title from Van Dam in a Triple Threat match (also involving Cena) it re-ignited the feud between Edge and Cena. The opening stages of the feud saw Edge taking constant shortcuts in order to keep his title (losing by disqualification).
