And this is why John Cena is awesome

[fpac]

Cool jesture and all, but it doesn't make me like him anymore.

Same here. John Cena, the man, is awesome and all the things he does outside the ring is incredible. Still doesn't change the fact that I find John Cena the wrestler intolerable.

Re: And this is why John Cena is awesome

Isnt he not only the most requested, but the one who fulfills the most Make-A-Wishes?

I'm pretty sure he has the most all-time wishes granted.

Yep, he is the all-time leader at over 250 and counting now:

The only other celebrities with over 200 wishes granted are Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and this guy:

Exactly what I was going to say. As a person, he is great. As a wrestler... eh. Maybe if I was half my age.

He calls a child with a brain tumor. That was his wish.

I don't care about him being overused, etc. this makes him a man amongst men in my book.

I concur. It's easy to overlook his sometimes corny goofball character with stories like this. Between having good to great matches for over eight years now, his marketing/drawing power, being a company man who goes to bat for other talent, and a guy that actually loves the business, Cena truly is awesome.

Re: And this is why John Cena is awesome

I'm sure he's the only one to do something like this.

Edit: loves the business, yeah I bet especially after the body building success. You make wishes? That's fantastic, not like they're a million of guys who do that if they were in his position placed on that pedestal because they're nice/great people too.

Everyone seems to be on Cena's side but me...maybe it's because I'm smug, absolutely, I don't wear a white hat, I'm kind of a jerk. Am I overrated? Not really for me to say, not up to me.

Maybe unrelated, but cool interview from the Howard Stern show a few years ago, definitely a different side of Cena. NSFW

Re: And this is why John Cena is awesome

Great stuff, there are plenty of people who would do this stuff if they could obviously but that's not the point. In today's sports so many athletes today are well jerks and the media itself focuses specifically on this negativity. It's great to see a guy with his popularity take time out of his day so often to make another kids life basically. I think it's an even more impressive thing for these WWE guys to do these things, given their schedules I assume they value downtime

This Howard Stern guy is a jerk to be honest, but good to learn a bit more about Cena.

He is a legitimately good guy and I respect him a lot for that.

I haven't listened to this since it first aired in 2006 but it is still great.

Re: And this is why John Cena is awesome

According to the youtube comments (you have to be careful with them), the boy passed away.

There is always something good to be said of someone who takes a step out of his day and does something like this for someone.

Lol never heard that interview before, seems like as normal of a guy as there is.

I hope you get it.

Of course I "get it" but I don't really think that applies here... at all.
