Sitting up listening to tropical storm winds in Georgia Tonight. I was checking my YouTube subscriptions and John Cena is scheduled to be a guest speaker at the library of congress. The description states he'll be discussing a series of children's books he's involved with.
I know this isn't news about the WWE's current product, but I know of no other professional wrestler to get to do this, so I thought that warranted a bit of discussion/celebration etc.
I feel like John contributing to the offerings for young readers is an admirable action on his part, and I hope kids enjoy the stories for the sake of making them love reading.
While this speaking engagement is not directly about wrestling, I find John's representation of us wrestlers to the academic world to be important in improving perception of us wrasslin folk(I worked for a few years for my injuries left me dibilitated). So congrats to John Cena on a pretty big honor & a rather interesting project.
(EDIT: Sorry! 'Meant to post the link! It goes live tomorrow on YouTube.)

They should get Mick Foley. He actually writes books... both for adults and kids.

I can never tell when you guys are being mean or not. Are you mocking or just making light hearted fun at my mistake? I'd prefer the latter because I have no faith in humanity right now. |

I can't hate on John anymore. He just seems like too nice a guy, and the things he does for kids.

But for real, I'm referring to long recurring problem of my threads never working out as planned. The last time I had a thread not turned out kind of okay, CM Punk was champion. Also, what wrestlers could have spoken at the Library of Congress? I mean from any era or any topic. Who would have made sense? |

I don't want to hate on him either but it just feels so disingenuous when he does all these appearances (invited or not) because, to me, he's just the face of the company (& has been for SO long) that I'm just watching and all I can think is that his bank account keeps going up and up. Hate on me if you want but that's how I feel. |

Hate on me if you want but that's how I feel. I'll be honest, I'm with you on that. For a while now, anytime, I see anything of him, especially out of the WWE sphere, he just comes off as a well calculated image. There are some celebrities, even when they're doing appearances and promotions, come off as genuine people, but with Cena, he just comes off as too manufactured. I mean I get it too, he's got to protect his brand, but again, he comes off as a more manufactured nice guy to me. |

Ok, 2 things here. 1. that's a hell of a jump from what he posted, to saying, he wants Cena to lose his job. And 2, if Cena's contract with WWE was terminated today, he wouldn't be anywhere near having trouble to make ends meet. |
