Wow, that's pretty rediculous. I hate Cena with a passion, so this just gives me even more of a reason to bash his terrible "finisher", the botched Deathvalley Driver.
This is a pretty stupid decision though, why change the name of a move that has already been established as being a "GROUND BREAKING" "DEVISTATING" move for years? That's like Austin changing the name of the Stunner half way through his career....wouldn't make any sense.
The only way they can successfully change the name of the FU in a logical manner is if they somehow made it a storyline where Cena had to for some odd reason change the name of his finisher. Yes, that storyline would be intellectually- disabled as hell, but I think it'd be far better then one day tuning into Raw and hearing the commentators suddenly refering to his FU as the "Throwback". "OH BAH GAWD KING HE JUST HIT THE F-----THROWBACK!~". And knowing WWE they probably wouldn't even mention that he changed the name of the move, they'd just act as if the "Throwback" has been the name of it for all eternity.
If he's going to change the name of this terrible move, he mine as well just get a new finisher all together.

I never understood why people bash the F-U/Throwback. It's a fine finisher; people just complain about it just for the sake of it since it's Cena related.

i just hate the idea of randomly changing the name of the biggest star's move after 6 years. hell i hated when the olympic slam became the angle slam in wwe. this is like changing the name of the stunner to the rattlesnake bite.
plus there's the fact that it's all due to this PG thing which I still don't get. Kids aren't the core audience and you can't cater exclusively to them.

It's a fine finisher; people just complain about it just for the sake of it since it's Cena related. ...no, it's because it looks as effective as Ricky Ortiz's "Big O" splash. If getting smacked in the dome with a chair, ring bell, trashcan, or whatever hard object people have been hit with and kicked out of over the years isn't going to keep someone down, I fail to see how a standing fireman's carry into a slam with all of the impact of a scoop slam, will. Cena needs new finishers, very... very badly. His STF looks as weak, if not more than the "Throwback" does. Personally, when I see someone hit a finisher, I need to be able to believe that SHOULD legitimately be it.

The STFU I am fine with. But the FU just looks pathetic to me. It doesn't look devastating in the slightest. I really wish he would change finishers.

It gets the crowd popping, and it's treated like a big move. It is just as impactful (or at least near) a Rock Bottom, and many other finishing moves that have been accepted in the past. If someone like Jericho or Edge was using this move, no complaints would be made. I'm not Cena fan, but people complaining about his finishing move being weak is just ridiculous.

I disagree, if Edge used it, I would complain. His spear is horrible, and I've said that a million times on here. When the Rock hit a Rock Bottom, at least he looked like he put some force into it, and his opponent would usually make it look good too... Cena, not so much.

Throwback is a cooler name but the reason for the change is just ridiculous.
