6. Cena Loves Beating Up Middle Aged Civilians
There are few things John Cena enjoys more than slowly and methodically kicking the piss out old men who have no business being in a wrestling ring. In the last 5 years alone, Cena has rained pain on at least 3 old dudes who are not professional fighters, and tried to do it to a fourth. In 2011, he knocked around Michael Cole for what felt like 3 hours before covering him in BBQ sauce. It was a slow-motion murder, traveling beyond 'funny' into 'deeply uncomfortable'. Cole was scared, hurt and John was 56 times stronger than him, yet Cena dragged the beating out for so long. In 2012, he performed a similar autopsy on Jon Laurinaitis at the Over The Limit PPV. Again, Big Jonny was no nice guy, but did that mean we had to watch Cena methodically dissect the 47 year-old man for 14 long minutes? Cena slapped the non-wrestler around, locked him in submissions holds, toyed with him like a predator. It was like watching a lion eat a zebra. An old one. In 2014, John Cena, unable to control his temper, locked Paul Heyman in an office and told him that he was going fight him later in the night. Again, this was despite Heyman being a non-wrestler and, again, despite Cena supposedly having a higher moral code. If Brock hadn't intervened, Cena would have beaten up a 49 yr old civilian on live TV. And this isn't even taking into account the time in 2004 when Cena forced Paul to eat a bar of soap. In 2015, John Cena dropped Jon Stewart with an AA. Jon Stewart is 52. Sure, he cost Cena his SummerSlam match, but he apologised, explained his reasons and certainly posed no physical threat to the Doctor of Thuganomics. Yet, wham, down he went. Moral of the story: Respect your elders, with both fists.
