He is a wrestling superstar who took over the lead role after Dwayne Johnson and Steve Austin’s Stone Cold retirement from the WWE The Rock industry. He became the steadfast fighter of this generation thanks to his combination of athletic ability, stage prowess, and massive physique. The next thing that usually comes to mind is an action star. In the same vein as Steve Austin and Dwayne Johnson before him, Cena has made a career in film, using her wrestling experience and fame in the ring to her advantage.
These achievements in themselves are a testament to this person’s multifaceted abilities. But one thing that rarely comes to mind is a competitive bodybuilder. And not everyone knows about their hobby for American football either.
But let’s talk about everything in order.
Bodybuilder and footballer
John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. was born on April 23, 1977. He is the second of five sons of Carol and John Cena Sr. From a young age, it was clear that John would eventually get involved in sports. After all, Tony Lupien – his maternal grandfather – was a successful Major League Baseball player and coach. The young athlete attended Springfield College in his home state of Massachusetts, where he became part of the college football team. Here for the first time, I felt the taste of sports life, but it was clear that this athlete wanted much more. After earning a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology and movement research, Sina took the barbell seriously. Their passion for bodybuilding dragged on, and he even took part in competitions.
WWE Legend
While he may be a “controversial professional wrestler,” according to commentator Jim Ross, there is no denying that John Cena is one of the best in history. With 25 championships and 16 world titles under his belt (13-time WWE champion and 3-time world heavyweight champion), John Cena has the highest number of wins on par with Rick Flair. However, such a collection of victories does not always mean unambiguous love from the fans.
Cena the rapper
This sometimes notorious wrestler completely captivated the public in 2002-2004 when he turned his character into a rapper. However, he didn’t release a rap album until 2005. His debut album, You Can’t See Me, sold over 40,000 copies in its first week and peaked at # 15 on the Billboard 200 charts. It has since gone platinum. In 2014, John Cena also featured in two Wiz Khalifa songs for the WWE 2K15 video game.
But not everyone was happy with his choice. As a wrestler who seemed to be very popular with children, he disappointed many with the release of his album. Not because they didn’t like his music, but simply because of the large amount of profanity in some of the songs. Given that the supposedly PG-friendly WWE was also promoting his music, parents were unhappy that his recording contained swear words.
Sea dreams
What would John Cena do if he wasn’t a famous wrestler, actor, and rapper? He once said in an interview that he would join the military and instead become a Marine. Perhaps that was what inspired him to star in the 2006 film The Marine. He also said that if it hadn’t been for the fight, he would “probably be mowing the lawn somewhere” or “training for college football.” It seems that things could have turned out differently for a wrestling superstar.
Make a wish
John Cena’s fortune at the end of 2020 is estimated at $ 60 million, and he has enough money for anything. But fame did not turn his head and he remained a very generous and sympathetic person. He was the first celebrity to grant over 500 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and still holds the record for the most wish-fulfilling charity in history. Cena has also raised an impressive amount of money for the American Cancer Society, supported several anti-bullying campaigns, and participated in the Love Has No Labels campaign.
Muscle Gentleman Muscle Cars
John Cena has a pretty impressive collection of muscle cars that he has amassed over the years. It is believed that he currently has over 20 in his collection, many of which are unique. Only a few of his vehicles include a 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger, a 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, a 1970 Pontiac GT Judge, and a 2006 Dodge Viper. However, one muscle car from his impressive collection of cars has recently given him problems.
In January 2017, John Cena acquired a brand new Ford GT supercar, which he tried to sell shortly thereafter at a substantial profit. When purchasing the car, he signed a contract with Ford, according to which he will be required to own the car for two years, becoming a kind of brand ambassador. When he then tried to sell the car, Ford was quite unhappy. They filed a lawsuit against the star for breach of contract, claiming it hurts their brand. It all ended with the payment of monetary compensation by John for $ 500 thousand, which went to charity.
Clothing of the moral code
John Cena is known for his line of slogan clothing, which has phrases such as “Never Give Up” on T-shirts and caps. However, his most famous slogan “Hustle, loyalty, respect” is what the star calls his moral code. He said that this means you have to work hard, be loyal to everyone loyal to you, and respect everyone – “even your enemies and competitors.” Although, during the feud with Rock the last point did not work very well for John.
