John Cena Holds Title for Most Wishes Granted with 450 and Counting

This is how Wikipedia defines wrestling: a combat sport involving grappling techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins, and other grappling holds. By the sound of it, you would expect it to be quite intense—and even bloody. And one would generalize that wrestlers are all big in size, strong, and have to be aggressive and angry all the time. Well the first three can be true, but the last one, a wrestler wants to tell you otherwise.

That’s John Cena—you must have heard of this name. Even if you’re not a fan of wrestling, since he has been doing the sport for ten years now and has even appeared in movies like Ready to Rumble (2000), The Marine (2006), and Legendary (2010), his name wouldn’t be new to you.

Because of his build, people would get the impression that he’s a man who always picks up a fight. But behind a big name is a guy with a big heart. John Cena, in his free time, visits kids with cancer and participates in charity works.
