7 Fascinating Backstage WWE Facts About John Cena

4. Was An Avid PC Gamer When Younger

These days, it's unlikely that John Cena has enough time on his hands to do things like play video games. Back during his youth however, it was a different story. Growing up, a young John Cena had more hobbies than simply body building or watching pro wrestling. According to comments the man made during press interviews to promote a recent WWE title, Cena was big on video games during his formative years. Interestingly enough, when most kids were likely playing Nintendo or Sega, Cena had something else in mind. Assembling quite the gaming rig, the future WWE star favoured PC gaming rather than on consoles. Incredibly, the man still has his original machine at home, although he notes that it doesn't quite work the way it used to. It's hardly a shock that a child of the 1980's and early-90's would be into video games. However, it is quite surprising that Cena still enjoys using some of his spare time to fire up his old PC engine. Many pro wrestlers have outed themselves as gamers over the years, but John Cena has to be one of the biggest.
