May 2, 2011 was a historic day for the United States. World Wrestling Entertainment had just completed the Extreme Rules pay-per-view and John Cena came out to address the crowd.
I walk out here every night with hustle, loyalty and respect on my sleeve. That is a credo that I've adopted from the men and women that defend the freedom of this country. We have caught and compromised to a permanent end... Osama Bin Laden.
Cena is a former-military man himself, as he pays tribute to the troops every single night with a simple salute before he runs down the ramp. WWE is known for paying homage to the men and women overseas. No matter the time or day, they will stop or prolong the show if an important announcement needs to be made. With the figurehead of the company a great American man, this was not just a cheap pop, but also one of the most important pops in professional wrestling history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw7_Rip9z20&feature=kp
