Cena Article
ESPN: The Magazine has an article on John Cena called "7 Things You Should Know About Being a WWE Superstar" in conjunction with the WWE segment on E:60 this Tuesday night. A few of the more interesting items in the article:
*1. Writers write, fighters fight.*
"I see myself as an actor, and I choose not to have much input in my story. So I find out only a few hours before the broadcast what will happen. The creative team doesn't know inside-the-ring stuff, though. They tell us who's going to win or be disqualified and we take it from there."
*3. We're more than just action figures.*
"I try to manage my likeness, but the WWE does a lot of licensing, so I end up seeing a lot of products that make me cringe. I'm all for merchandising, but John Cena car floor mats or nesting dolls don't seem right."
*7. I won't bite the hand.*
"A lot of wrestlers reach a point where they feel it's not cool to be in WWE. Not me. I can do movies and work full-time here. Why would I ever say it's not good enough?"
Gee, I wonder who Cena was referring to in that last passage about movies and wrestling? I couldn't be Dwayne Johnson, could it? You can read the whole article in ESPN: The Magazine.
