John Cena’s Career before his Fame

Early, In 1999, John Cena began training at Ultimate Pro Wrestling to become a professional wrestler, and he debuted in the ring as The Prototype.

Moreover, In April of 2000, he won the UPW Championship and held it for 27 days. In March 2001, he made his final appearance on UPW.

Similarly, in October 2000, Cena made an unofficial debut for World Wrestling Federation under the ring name “The Prototype,” losing to Mikey Richardson in a dark match on a “SmackDown!” taping.

WWE Journey

Cena gradually entered tournaments and signed contracts. In 2001, he signed his first deal with the WWF, which was with Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).

Also, He held the OVW Heavyweight title for three months after signing the deal. Throughout the year, he was also offered tryouts for the WWF roast.

Furthermore, He became a fan favorite and had feuds with several big-name characters, including Christ Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Albert, and D-Von Dudley, despite barely losing the match.

Later that year, Cena demonstrated his rapping skills in a Halloween-themed program, earning him the moniker “The Doctor of Thuganomics.”

He competed against The Undertaker at “Vengeance” in 2003 but lost the singles bout. In 2004, Cena defeated the Big Show at Wrestlemania to win his first singles championship.

Later, in November, he made a one-time appearance. Mr. P was the name he picked when he was matched in a six-man tag team match.

Charlie Haas and WWE Hall of Famer Big Boss Man were on his team.
