CENA ON GILLETE AD, MOVIE ON FINLAY

A documentary was recently completed in Ireland called The Fit Finlays. The movie is about the history of wrestling in that country. WWE Superstar Finlay’s father and grandfather both wrestled there and his sister was a referee.


John Cena is featured in a new batch of commercials for Gillette’s new Pro Glide shaving razors. Cena surprises various unsuspecting guys in a public restroom and makes them take the “Pro Glide Challenge.”

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER LAST NIGHTS RAW

In a match that took place after last night’s WWE RAW from Toronto went off the air, WWE Champion John Cena retained his title against Batista. Batista was delivering a beatdown on Cena as RAW was going after the air and put the champion in his modified-STF submission hold. When the cameras stopped rolling, Batista released Cena, grabbed a microphone and demanded a title match right then and there. During the match, Batista went for his submission hold again but Cena powered out of it. Cena hit the Attitude Adjustment for the pin. Cena celebrated his victory with fans outside the ring
