Cena then rips apart Angle for what he said about the troops. He says Angle’s saying these things because the fans think he sucks. Cena said half the people think Cena sucks. That’s the freedom the troops fight for. That’s America, and that’s what Americans fight for. “And if you’re not up with that... Then you can’t see me.” Then Cena uses the black spray paint on the camera lens.
