.....I expected him to say "100% of the WWE roster has jobbed to me"....

But that was pretty good.

I don't follow wrestling so I know very little about him, but he's far and away the record-holder for most "wishes" granted, such as in this pic of him having a tea party with a little girl suffering from a deadly neurological disorder:



Make-A-Wish is as close to a pure good as anything that modern society has created, so I have to give him props for his participation.

My only issue is WWE tries to leverage his outside work into "Please don't boo him". I feel they are far less sincere about charity work than he is.

Real life and pro wrestling are two different things.

Due to them being RWNJs and huge Trump supporters plus Linda McMahon is a Trump delegate.

...I just posted this vid to my facebook.

Lord knows the neanderthalic idiots with whom my life has been entangled will not like it coming from Cena, lol. Perhaps they'll learn a little something.

And is in the WWE Hall of Fame-that should disqualify him right there.

He's one of my few man-crushes that I have.

He's genuine. I like that.

They coverup more scandel than a certain church.

Its gone from comic book stuff of the 80's, Hulk Hogan, Brutus the Barber, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, to the most violent
sexist, racist BS.

What other proffesion, would have more of its workers died before they reached 50 and still get away it.

Dont care how much charity work he has done for Make a wish.

The WWE is horrible.

WWF was racist 30 years ago!

Saba Simba? Roddy Piper in blackface fighting Bad News Brown and whipping Mr T?

Please.

It's a nice palate cleanser from all the hate Trump has been spreading. I hope they run it a lot.
