If we're being honest, John Cena the human being sounds like a pretty good dude. Sure, he dresses like a goofball, and is a bit of a neat freak, and is also afraid of his giant mansion burning down from candles as weve seen on Total Divas, but otherwise he does a lot of good things for humanity. Most notably, his work with children and the military is something to be commended and left off air. John Cenas detractors want to boo him because his humor sucks, and because he looks like an action figure that wears clothes that are meant for a larger action figure, and because he has been pushed as the top guy for way too long. When he brings up his enormous amount of charitable deeds, it sucks the wind out of the room. Now we feel like jerks for booing his character! It's a bit awkward. Cena does that work off the clock as John Cena the human being, not John Cena the wrestler. It mixes real life with a wrestling storylines, which is almost always a bad fit. And not for nothing, but after all of Cenas talk about why he is always going to take the higher road, he devolved into making fun of Paul Heymans chubby face.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
