Right, it's important to note straight away that the guy writing this has always been a massive John Cena fan. However, nobody should sit here and pretend that JC was always watertight between the ropes. He had flaws, but managed to work around those to become a legend. That takes talent.

Outside the ring, Cena is a class act.

The WWE poster boy turned Hollywood star has broken all sorts of records when it comes to Make-A-Wish Foundation visits. Reportedly, according to numerous peers over the years, John will go above and beyond to make sure he's there for the kids who want to meet him. His schedule has been exhausting, but Cena makes no excuses.

Recently, Cena even discussed the looming end of his active wrestling career and offered himself up as a coach/mentor to aspiring workers trying to make a name for themselves. That's classy - John doesn't actually even need to bring that up in 2024.
