It's hard to imagine John Cena getting picked last for anything wwe related

[bluebeard]

Everyone talks about how John Cena has the face of the company and he gets everything. This is a guy that came from nowhere. People like The Rock, and Roman had family to help them. Guys like Brock and Kurt Angle we're already stars in a different genre. Say what you want to about him, Cena is a real WWE success story.

I don't even watch WWE now but I still admire Cena. He made my childhood

[texacosnow]

The fact he remembers Sylvester terkay and Ron waterman people utterly forgotten in wwe

[jacobseraphin]

I ain’t gon lie wen I was a kid I fr looked up to cena for that shit😂😂😂 he fr helped me wen he say never give up I fw him heavy

[bristolmclean]

That’s honestly why you have to respect John. Loved him as a kid, hated him as a teen, learned to have an appreciation for what he was as an adult.

Word life
This is basic Thugonomics!

Love this gimmick, loved what Cena brought to the WWE creatives with it, loved the battle rapping segments and how he was able to bring competitors into such a fun element and as a black hip hop fan, loved how Cena positively represented hip hop in a way that was respectful to the culture.

[johnpestano]

I respect Cena's honesty he just took a small part of his life. and made this awesome character that turned out to be one of the 🐐 I have a lot of respect for Cena.

[Ziiro]

Big props to this guy pulling off a interview with himself.

[markflorida]

The fact that you used his theme song to blur out the f-bomb made me wheeze 💀

[mattdog]

The amazing part is that he ended up becoming a bigger star than everyone that was put in front of him.

[matrixsanders]

I haven’t heard the name Sylvester Terkay in YEARS!!! That’s truly a throwback

[Crazytonebone]

So happy he named Sheldon. Bro is sooo underrated

[imfrmnj]

man Cena deserves all his success he's had in life.. truly the G.O.A.T

[Kal-El]

That’s insane. Now he’s pretty much a cemented legend.

[Banestudent]

I love Cena’s attitude. Dude is so humble and well spoken

[pbatjelly]

i’ll always have the thuganomics theme song stuck in my head

[nachobusiness]

I mean he really did freestyle pretty good 🤷‍♂️

[Yumpo.C]

I remember cena's debut match..back then his finishing move was spine buster😂😂 after brock injured him with f5 on the ring post he came back with the character and he named his finishing move F.U

[crashpal]

Doctor Of Thugonomics will always be the greatest version of Cena. WORD LIFE 👊 👊
