ESPN ESPY Awards 2016 Full Show 7/13/16 John Cena Opening Monologue at ESPYS 2016 John Cena Opening Monologue at ESPYS 2016 John Cena Opening Monologue at ESPYS 2016
I didn't find him funny. He just told the truth about sport being all rigged just like sport entertainment. As if we could be immoral enough to laugh about that.
Weird how the NBA scripted the nba finals to end on father daughter day after they killed kobe the father and his daughter. Also kobe bryant died on the same day as bear bryant.
So true. For those in the crowd was too sensitive to laugh but also didn't roll their eyes or sigh is because they know John is stronger & can beat their ass if they got caught doing it. One vs One or One vs All; they know Cena will still win. LOL
The one host in the history of the show that can say any damn thing he wants and every athlete in the room has to think twice before trying to knuckle up. Way to go Cena.
Nobody should be surprised by this. Cena is amongst the WWE's greatest MC's lol. His mic control while not exactly on par with The Rock or Hogan is whoever comparable. He knows how to create moments
that's what they like to do. They like to tell the truth while joking around. Pro Sports are scripted. Rivalries are scripted. No one is really a free agent. Championship winners are scripted. Everyone should see how Stephen Curry purposely missed shots and make bad plays in game 7.
What? is that you're excuse that steph choked in the finals huh? what about the series against okc huh? where okc was 3-1 up too? that wasn't rigged right? I'm not sure but u seem to me like salty warriors fan, just give the cavs and Lebron credit.
NoRRes97 I'm not even a Steph fan. I was a Lebron fan until this finals I find out that the NBA was Scripted. Not just rigged but scripted. It's not about being a fan. I was excited when Cleveland won actually.
Richy Man what? just because some fools say the finals are scripted u believe them? and I don't believe u that, if you were a Lebron fan you would've been even more of a fan of him after these finals, cuz he maybe played the best finals a player ever played in the history of basketball, the cavs made history and just because no team ever did what they did, it's rigged?
The rest of the world doesn't like American Sports because, in part, they are blatantly scripted, teams can't lose, they will always gain money no matter what the hell they do, if a team sucks the other 31 teams have to share its revenue with it... I mean teams share revenue WHAT THE FUCK, if your team sucks is helped by the others, WHAT?... If a team sucks it doesn't get relegated into oblivion... WHAT? In True Football the system doesn't allow a script, if your team sucks it loses money, if your team sucks is relegated to minor divisions and it could eventually disappear. Really the American Communist Sporting System is a joke, you should change it.
@@GarryG - The ill-informed people who watch are are the only people who know they really do get hurt. Others see them as the Three Stooges and think it is only a joke. It's athletic entertainment according to the New Jersey Athletic Commission.
@@davenorth8922 well people can say what they want ... literally no body cares...John Cena can lift big show and edge at the same time..dude has tremendous strength . ...well fake is just a stupid word .. they are professional athletes..by fake it simply means everyone can be WWE superstar which is just a lil odd...
@@GarryG - I remember back in my day watching a wrestler take a blow to the chest that injure his heart. He died in the ring. I used to watch my sons play Little League Baseball with Nature Boy's kids. They went to school together. . He is a good man and a wonderful Father You're preaching to the choir.
Everyone knows the Wwe is rigged, it's sorta like you gotta make fun of yourself before making fun of others. I know personally I was wondering why John Cena is hosting but then I remembered that WWE stars careers is basically working a mic & controlling a room.
@@primedemarr Unfortunately, most people won't be 😥, but I don't know if Kobe was spiritual,, he could have been in his downtime 🤷♂️. Praise God Almighty. He is good all the time. 👍
One of two things would happen. 1. Paul Heyman would knock it out of the park... Or 2. Paul Heyman would promote Brock Lesnar shamelessly. Either way, I'm sold.
+Mohammed Islam lmao same thing I thought promote the beast I'm with it or destroy the crowd with a barrage of jokes I'm still with it it's a win win. book it espn jerks.
I've been saying this for years. It should have been obvious to anyone after the 2002 Lakers Kings series that professional sports are just as scripted as the WWE. Go see the video of DeAndre Hopkins making a catch against Buffalo where you can see his hand just snap onto the ball like two magnets snapping together.
"pretty good seat Kev. I expected to see you off in the corner" this one got me. really good monologue, I love how uncomfortable it made all the shills in the room
Damn. I was laughing, enjoying the video/ show, then hearing him just mention Kobe just brought me down to silence for a moment... Thank You Kobe... for all the memories. I remember playing with your character waaay back when I was a boy on the Play Station on that game NBA STREET Volume 2! ✊🏽Rest In Peace Mamba!
crowd was too sensitive and dead, he was hilarious
It's because of how it opened before he came out with the athletes talking about the deaths of the victims
+Spideymrw "victims"
stfu nows not the time u Nazi
90% of the crowd had no idea who he WAS.
+Emmanuel Enyinwa 100% of the crowd couldn't see him
Man, that microphone killed it!
Cause you cant see him
Lmao
John cena
YA TIME IS UP M Y TIME IS NOWWWWWW
Damn it you beat me to the punch
Yall mad about a wrestler hosting the ESPYs, I'm still figuring out how the hell that microphone can float.
this comment needs more love
+1AndyOnly You're mad about me stealing comments, but that floating mic!? 😱
😂 hahahahahahahahahahaaha
you already killed the joke
+1AndyOnly Ok. So this conversation should be over now, right? Right. 😁
Fun fact: John Cena holds the record for most Make a Wish wishes fulfilled
GOAT
I want to like this comment, but it's at 666 and I can't on principle.
Wrong fact. He was the most requested. Fulfilled is a different story
@@GoldMegamind No he has fulfilled more than anyone.
@@GoldMegamind no he’s fulfilled the most wishes with over 650. Love him or hate him, you can’t discredit someone’s charity work.
Bit rude of them to have a floating suit and a microphone doing the Espys
i heard jokes from somewhere but i just really couldn't see anyone...
+elpaco25 HAHAHA
Ifwu 😂😂😂😂
Pretty nice stage shots if you ask me though :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit. John Cena KILLED this.
I have nothing but respect for Cena, he was the perfect choice!!! One of the best mic workers ever & NOTHING phases him.
I didn't find him funny. He just told the truth about sport being all rigged just like sport entertainment. As if we could be immoral enough to laugh about that.
+Stop the Cena garbage But peoole still going to think its real
+ Nate McGraw Whatever you say. Insulting people for no reason is for sissies.
God, even when he made some jokes about Cleveland, most people were shaking their head.
Seeing Kobe there brings a tear to my eye
Same he was just living life
Fun fact: John Cena holds the record for most Make a Wish wishes fulfilled
Yeah
Weird how the NBA scripted the nba finals to end on father daughter day after they killed kobe the father and his daughter. Also kobe bryant died on the same day as bear bryant.
@@user-hk8dj6xm2t please respect the dead.
This was prob the first time the Espy awards had a host that was the physically strongest person in the room.
Lol facts
Probably not but close to
So true. For those in the crowd was too sensitive to laugh but also didn't roll their eyes or sigh is because they know John is stronger & can beat their ass if they got caught doing it.
One vs One or One vs All; they know Cena will still win. LOL
For real, this guys lifting numbers are insane
What? NFL Linemen are in the room. John is also juiced, stick to the WWE kid
People forget John Cena use to master in thuganomics 😂😂 I'm not even surprised he killed this monologue 🔥🔥
Thugonomics 😂😂😂. He would rap the shit out of everyone
I thought it was a Doctorate of Thuganomics?
+aavenzor doctor of thuganomics
+aavenzor he was a doctor so he got his Doctorate
he was holding back, it could tell
The Kevin Durant joke got me! hahahaha
me too bruh
true. lol
savage
Basketball sucks, only skinny pussies play basketball, men play football!
+Viking Thor lmfao... yeah ok
Man, that KD jab was off-da-chain. shit was too funny. lol
hell yeah
The way he blended WWE and NBA is GOLDEN
Well you see, they're all one in the same...
Sports are rigged asf he broke it down with jokes
_The Cavs parade had 1.3 million people. 1.3 million people in Cleveland, and somehow not one good quarterback?_
Slay, Cena, slay.
savage af
lmao
he's on point though! lol!
he has writers
then they showed Jim Brown i was like cmon man.
Manzel that cena killed it now it time for the Browns to get off that Tim couch .
I don't get it, I couldn't see the host.
what a dumb fucking meme
+chaja95 Dumb? It was pure genius my friend.
so you watch a 10:00 minute video of a stage OK that's dumb
+BombShell 2.0 2 He said that because of John Cenas "You can't see me" motto
+T - Breezy Jones duh
Cena is one of the most skilled person in live microphone.
I bet in Cena's mind he was going over and over trying not to say "welcome to Monday night raw"
He'll yeah
😂😂
But he is on Smackdown.
He wasn't at the time, and plus he was on Raw for 10 plus years
John cena should do stand-up after he retires haha
Ahahaha I agree xD
Its not his jokes he had writers
+MoAB you mean like most comedians...
Then why didn't his writers deliver those jokes? Oh, it's because John Cena is BRILLIANT on the mic!
+Revenant Plague most comedians write their own content
The one host in the history of the show that can say any damn thing he wants and every athlete in the room has to think twice before trying to knuckle up. Way to go Cena.
Brock Lesnar? Lol
Guess you didn't read the part "host in the history of the show." Lesnar was never a host of the ESPYs
Paul Heyman can host and if anybody wants to Knuckle up. Hell just CALLLL BROOOOOOOOCK LESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNARRRRRRRRRRR..
+Joseph Ganata I meant Brock wouldn't hesitate to knuckle up with Cena. Remember Summer Slam?
+Krismelo Porthony wwe is fake they can't fight
John Cena is truly the best at most things he does. He’s so good.
RIP Kobe, legend
Gotta give it to Cena, this was actually good.
Now, about that heel turn...
😊
Still no heel turn😒
You might get your wish when he returns after the pandemic.
Boody Jacob it will never happen John cena is a legendary pure baby face he will not turn heel 💯
@@trewilliams8411 they said the same about Hogan
@@nachogonzaga603 even doc of thugonoics which was a heel became his best character
Nobody should be surprised by this. Cena is amongst the WWE's greatest MC's lol. His mic control while not exactly on par with The Rock or Hogan is whoever comparable. He knows how to create moments
lol that had to be biggest bs ever
don't forget punk and austin.
HOGAN....HOGAN....I can see u sayin the Rock but HOGAN...Fuck a Hogan CM Punk was better then Hogan Cena is toob
Hogan huh?
HOGAN ??? HOGAN !!!!
😂😂 KD always getting roasted at these awards
AT 01 He got titles tho
the peyton manning one was the best lol
@@quinnk6327 funny that peyton roasted him the following
"Which is surprising cause the Irish aren't really known for pulling out" Cena killed it
Always said cena was right next to the rock for cutting the best promos ever. All us wwe fans will miss this guy when he is long gone. Respect
He still wrestles...
+HyperSole he said when he is long gone
There's still Jericho.. Personally, i found that Jericho and Rock is a tad better than Cena
his jokes are scripted and written out for him moron.
+Jj Cool it's all about delivery. His mic skills are top notch!
This is actually a GREAT opening monologue! Loved the "real" sports is fixed too idea haha!

I was worried that the audience wouldn't accept a "fake" athlete but he knocked it out of the park. Good stuff.
What do u mean by fake athlete??? Dude is physically way stronger than most of the athletes presnet in espys

made me proud to be a John Cena fan
John Cena: where am I?
Doctor: ICU
Cena: you can't
Oh no ..take this L fam
KEEP YA DAMN RING!
ahahahah
I was hoping they would play his theme song......
samee
that would of been great XD
MIYAGI me too. he probably told them not too.
WWE copyrighted his theme songs
I can hear it
R.I.P. Kobe💛💜
John Cena brought back the Doctor of Thuganomics, back!!
No, this is actually still a little tame compared to his days as the Doctor
Jim Brown probably hasn't smiled since the 70s.
lol
truuu
bruh
he's lebrons hometown hero😂😂😂😂 back when the Cleveland browns used to dominate the NFL
JBiz80 why would he smile? He played in Cleveland lol I would be depressed also
jim brown after that cleveland joke had the look of, "if i was 40 years younger id walk up there and lay him out"
Jim Brown always looks like that lmaoo But his wife was shaking her head 😂😂
Cena would kick out before one though
+mauricio cortez 😂😂😂😂😂😂
+mthaxx 20 That's his wife ? I thought that was his daughter ! Money talks and bullsh*t walks" .😶
Lol
a polite, charming, clever, freestyler. He entertained millions for years. Ofc he killed it.
Man he killed it. The Doctor of thuganomics and leader of the Cenation.
Man he just summed it up 1.3 mill and not a good qb Aaron Rodgers face nailed it
Rodgers made that face like "Oooh that was a low blow" lol
Lmao his face was priceless
Cena on the mic is always gold.
That Lebron and KD joke was definitely top tier 😂😂😂
Nooo the terriable 12th hole joke on Dwight Howard went over so many peoples heads 😂😂😂😂
That Peyton and papa John joke was hilarious
John Cena needs his own Netflix Special. The man is a gem indeed!
P.S.: Seeing Kobe laughing makes my heart ache. We miss you and love you :(
He is indeed a gem
he needs to be at Comedy central roast
Didn't expect Cena to do that well with the jokes lol.
WWE has there chain around his neck.
they would NEVER let him say the WWE is scripted on RAW.
Better mic skills than Roman Reigns
Why would he need to... You don't see people on TV shows saying hey this isn't really real?
+Keefe Keefe john cena always had better mic skills then anyone in the last decade. (: besides Edge tho lol
I don't think he was being serious when he said it was rigged. I'm almost certain it was a shot at Ayesha Curry for her tweet during the NBA Finals.
Everyone knows the Wwe is rigged, it's sorta like you gotta make fun of yourself before making fun of others. I know personally I was wondering why John Cena is hosting but then I remembered that WWE stars careers is basically working a mic & controlling a room.
Lmao mannnnnn he really had me rolling the entire time bruh
Cena is a savage.
honestly when cena cpmpared obj to Koko B Ware i thought he was going to use enzo amore
Enzo wishes he had Koko's charisma
Bro! I was thinking the same!
This deserves an Oscar he nailed it!
Facts
Man I wanted him to come in with" your host for tonight....
And his name is John Cenaaaaaaaaa
lmfao that would have been epic dudeee...
Dundundundun.....
He's gonna get in the ring and put boots to asses......at the WWE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPERSLAMMMM!!!!!
I hadn't seen this until now. Cena absolutely killed it. The dude is legit hilarious.
When he said to Kobe “he’s gonna be fine he’ll be alright” 😢

He can wrestle, rap and be a stand up comedian. is there anything he can't do?

Put people over.
+RainKing xD.

When KD's pic show on, I'm actually can image how embarrass on Curry's face.

He killed it! He reaaaaaaaaaaaaly killed it!
He didn't come out to his theme music..
ikr. wished they played it
I doubt the WWE allowed them to do it.
Yankee Fan yes I know, but I don't know how many rights WWE holds to it. Since the song was created for the WWE
Thank god
lmao!!! "lay that ass down for a three second tan"
still watching this on 2019. this monologue was great!
When he said the wwe was rigged he should have said " am I right Ayesha?! "
That wouldn't been funny af, Curry would've been pissed tho
lmao! I bet he had that in his script but they wouldn't let him say it
I don't think the writers would of done that. However if they did, I would of absolutely been dead lol.
wwe is script because cena the main guy and he sucks
justhateme israel

The guy is wonderful, the best promo-talker ever.
This aged like fine wine
that vince McMann roger goodell roast was jokes
Speaking of finishing... 😂😂😂 cena is a fucking savage
You nailed it John!!! I love you ❤️💕
I love to come back to espy monologues while I’m smoking . This is now the best espy opening
the Irish people pullin out joke had me Rollin😂😂
thx for quick uplod
John Cena's monologue about rigged sports is more real than people realize.
Yeah, a Tim Donaghy joke wouldn't have been amiss.
Sport's are indeed scripted bruh it's entertainment business but it's 99% scripted and 1% is the real sh!t that is Because sometimes script fails
Factsssss players are coming out saying what he said in plain sight now
I've been saying this for years. It should have been obvious to anyone after the 2002 Lakers Kings series that professional sports are just as scripted as the WWE. Go see the video of DeAndre Hopkins making a catch against Buffalo where you can see his hand just snap onto the ball like two magnets snapping together.
Cena is good at everything. Born performer. Good human being.
"pretty good seat Kev. I expected to see you off in the corner"
this one got me. really good monologue, I love how uncomfortable it made all the shills in the room
I love you John Cena you rock!!! Cena and Bella! !perfect together! !
Energetic and powerful voice 👍🏻
Kobe and manning jokes about no passing got me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..that was good cena
John Cena got me rolling damn he's great at giving promos
Living legend.
He nailed it. Underrated hero.
That rams joke got me dead 😭
It didn’t age well though
Cena was the best espy host by far
Cena bringing it. Love it!!!
Huge part of being a wrestler is building hype on the mic and connecting with the audience, not surprised at all he killed this.
1.3 million people in Cleveland?
Flip it
3.1 million
The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals
My profile picture says it all
Well.. this didn't age well
That's weird CAVS blew a 3-1 finals series
I remember this, and was laughing my butt off. Cena is a natural host.
The best monologue I've ever heard
Legendary monologue. Cena killed it
Damn. I was laughing, enjoying the video/ show, then hearing him just mention Kobe just brought me down to silence for a moment...
Thank You Kobe... for all the memories. I remember playing with your character waaay back when I was a boy on the Play Station on that game NBA STREET Volume 2! ✊🏽Rest In Peace Mamba!
Cena🔥
Seeing Kobe and hearing them talking to about him has made me depressed for the next week😢😢😢RIP to a legend RIP Black mamba and the Mambacita
I can't believe I didn't see this until today....John Cena is just an incredible speaker. Wish I could've seen him tho.
I feel like there's a lot of soft people in the audience that can take a joke
Oh hell yeah. That was super funny. Most of them took it so far up the ass.
forrrr damn sure lol
And there's only...*ONE WORD*, to describe them!
yeah, athletes
+Kay D lol I see what you did there
