15 Worst Catchphrases In Wrestling History
3. "You Can't See Me" - John Cena
A lot of readers might be shocked to find that John "Fruity Pebbles" Cena's go-to motto isn't in the Number 1 spot. In fact, it was incredibly close to being left off the list altogether.
Because unlike so many of the other catchphrases listed, "you can't see me" actually makes sense. Even before Cena and his Basic Thuganomics showed up on WWE programming, any casual rap fan could tell you the phrase means "you're not on my level". So, in essence, you're so far below me that you can't even see me.
Basic braggadocio, really.
The reason it has to be included here, however, is because Cena's appropriation of hip hop culture was so phony that the whole package looked like a bad joke. And his "you can't see me" bit -- accompanied with non-optional hand wave -- always sounded awkward coming out of a Marky Mark clone.
Also, Cena's refusal to call it a catchphrase makes it all so much worse somehow:
“Let me state for the record that I hate the word ‘catchphrase.’ It’s like ‘think outside the box’ or any of those other marketing terms. It’s just ugly.”
