20 Wrestling Facts You Probably Didn't Know

19. John Cena Is In Ready To Rumble

Produced by World Championship Wrestling, wrestling 'comedy' Ready to Rumble was released in April 2000, one full year before WCW was bought out by the WWF. As everyone knows, it's a witless abortion of a film starring future WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette and several other WCW stars, and is about a fictitious version of WCW itself.

WCW, WCW, WCW... but did you know that future WWE figurehead and 21st century Hulkster John Cena was actually in Ready To Rumble? It's true.

As you can see in the video embedded above, a young (and blond) Cena appears in the background of a scene in which fake WCW megastar Jimmy The King meets real life WCW megastar Goldberg. The scene was set in Cena's regular gym, so he was featured as an extra.
