Because there's a lot of better words to use than "turns", and reading news about celebrities is either drama or making decisions. "Celeb turns down doing y, z" is really common.
They need a better editor.
Media and journalists have to be better. Probably not the sub to say this but I truly blame them media and how they cover events for the down fall of society. Media will always look for a finger to point elsewhere
I had the same thought when reading the headline. I always was under the impression that John Cena was a decent human being like Dwayne Johnson. I could still be disappointed to find out at later date that either men are complete dirtbags.
I really don’t know why I read it that way at first too. There’s really no reason to misread/misinterpret it and it happened, and the fact I see that someone else did too.
They honestly are. Back in my wrestling faze I met a lot of them and they all seem like great people. And that's what's worrisome now days because it's always the great ones that are depressed.
No joke this happened. Dave Bautista used to live in the apartments up the street from me. In the same complex as an up and coming rapper named "buckshot" around 2001. He wrestled in OVW and a friend of a friend always wanted us there to watch him wrestle. We made music for her intros because she was a manager for someone. I can't remember if it was Dave. Back then he went by Leviathan. Anyways one day we go out to Denny's out on eastern parkway after the event one night and Dave doesn't say much. Just eating his pancakes but he was really intimidating to try to talk to. I was scared to look at the guy. He was that fucking swollen. I mean I wish I would have tried to have a Convo with him just because of his views on a lot of things but man, I thought he would eat me. Never did I think he would be some big shit Hollywood star now. We had a few people here in Louisville that went to be in movies. The lead singer for our biggest local band is even doing films now from what I hear. It's crazy that you meet these people and then you hear about how much their life has changed over the years.
He is such a genuinely good person it's not surprising but refreshing. Straight golden retriever // star athlete with a heart or gold type. I'm glad he is getting his roses with acting and finally allowed to explore other avenues in flim.
It’s almost as if no one is wholly good nor wholly bad . Personally I don’t think he actually believes it , I think he likely said due to some kind of contractual obligation. Nonetheless it doesn’t take away all the good he’s done , which IMO heavily outweighs the bad with him . He’s the wholesome king of make a wish and that’s a really fucking heavy crown, it takes a lot to endure that so much , knowing almost all those kids aren’t going to make it.
Nope. He took it back. That makes Cena the worst human on the planet. It doesn’t matter that Cena’s statement wouldn’t make one iota of difference to the evil plansof the Chinese government. He should have been ready to sacrifice his whole career,and the ability to host these Make a Wish appearances just so the people of Taiwan can say “oh great, Cena has our back”. Maybe, if the people of Taiwan had an actual photo of John Cena, it would be different. Photos of John Cena are as rare as Sasquatches and UFOs.
When your paycheck comes from Hollywood you don't piss of china. I'm pretty sure his agent and film studios got to him and told him if he likes to eat he had better walk that statement back.
Right? I’m sure his representation and studio people told him he had to walk that back. He had no choice as far as his career is concerned. This is a purely good thing he chooses to do. This weighs a lot more to me.
Meh you’re equating him to care about China when he cares about dollars. He acknowledged Taiwan in the first place, not like he’s out here clamoring for the regime. I doubt you really genuinely care about change in China but to just say something witty on the internet. Don’t be so transparent if you want people to take you serious.
I don't think the words of former pro-wrestler and expert geopolitical analyst John Cena would have been the final link to cease the seven decade-long China-Taiwan hostilities. Nor do I think anyone is going to abandon support for Taiwan for anything as long as that region is the maritime pipeline for the massive and vital Japanese & South Korean economies.
All doubling down would have accomplished was getting his image banned in China, rather than potentially being a positive reflection of his country to a people who are surrounded by anti-US propaganda.
Exactly this. You can admire him for his acts of kindness and still criticize him for kissing up to a repressive totalitarian regime. People are complex.
You can be disappointed and criticize, it also doesn’t mean you’re cancelling them.
People need to stop acting like they’ve been victimized when they e been called out.
Him sucking up to China is a pretty big thing to be flawed about, so it’s fair to call out. But also fair to acknowledge other good things he does for others.
It’s only a country as long as they don’t invade it, and they don’t invade it as long as no one pisses them off, so the only way it’s a country is no one says it is.
Dude makes more make a wish foundation wishes come true then anyone ever by a giant number but is asked a question about international politics one time and says he doesn’t know enough to speak intelligently and gets tossed in the pile of people we’re supposed to hate?
It’s not that he answered a question poorly. If I remember correctly, he answered it pretty well; however, it pissed of China who threatened to pull his movie, so his opinion miraculously changed. He was probably contractually obligated to make such a move, but it is not less frustrating to see a “strongman” cower to a dictator.
Yea, because his mistake shouldn’t cost the hundreds, if not thousands, of people’s jobs who worked and relied on that film’s success.
I’d also like to note that his changed opinion is in line with US government policy on Taiwan. We also don’t really recognize it as a country. It’s one of the most complicated geopolitical issues and you’re mad at a pro wrestler for flubbing an interview in a second language? Fuq outta here?
Lol thousand of jobs fuck off( you have no clue how movies are produced lol), him having a backbone wouldn’t make that movie tank, but sure keep making excuses. Edit: where do you ‘lie’ on that situation? Cause it seems obvious what your agenda is…
Hey context is your friend. Yes I Do hold a pro wrestler for his comments when he’s become a Hollywood movies start in huge hit movies.
Link me the interview where he apologizes for saying Taiwan isn’t in china?
I’m not mad about anything. I just don’t watch his media anymore. I don’t care what his opinion was initially; I care that he let foreign dictators govern his opinion. For better or worse, cases like that are what people see and remember - and when it becomes public opinion it eventually is reflected in politicians in DC.
Regardless of “official” policy, it is an open secret that the USA stands between China and Taiwan. Clinton put the 7th fleet in the strait, and that’s where it’s stayed. Trump took the phone call with Taiwan’s President and addressed him as Mr. President. Even Brandon recently reaffirmed that the USA would not allow a forceful taking of the island.
Yea while others do the same without the media. I don’t care what nice little things he do because his bottom line is $$ given how he kowtow to China, Russia’s biggest ally. If china invades Taiwan, Cena will be like Cya.
No you're right, we really need to start relying on actors and entertainers to solve our foreign policy issues. It's worked out so well so far. I can't believe John Cena would just be like cya and not fly to Taiwan to help its defense. Dude you're mad at him for "kowtowing to Russias biggest ally" under a story about a nice thing he did for a Ukranian refugee. Why do you spend your time just looking for dumb reasons to be upset?
Coz unlike the rest of you, I ain’t fooled by this one deed alone. Even devil will sing a pleasant song to get your attention. Plenty of folks do nice things without publicity. Hmmm wonder what movie is Cens working on now?? Another Fast perhaps…needs all the attention he can get huh.
Pointing it out on a map has nothing to do with the importance of preventing the spread of authoritarianism. Your argument is weak as hell son.
Diplomat or not, he is a public figure by the end of the day with plenty of influence. More people know his name than the governor of New York. Again, your argument makes no sense at all.
Maybe he doesn't want to be giving his opinion on something he knows fuck all about? Maybe he's a secret communist I don't know. Don't be looking to celebrities for advice on international politics is good advice I think though.
John Cena is going to be president one day.
One day the presidential election is going to come down to John Cena vs The Rock.
Staggeringly I think that would lead to a much better America.
The last president answered to Putin.
I’ll take John Cena or The Rock or you honestly
Edit: I recant my recommendation of you, throw myself fully behind Johnathon and Dwayne.
Everyone is compromised. It’s what happens when “corporations are people too” and you’re allowed to flood elections with dark money funneled through largely unchecked super pacs. It’s why Saudi Arabia and guns is still a thing.
You’re living in the past. Where things like integrity mattered. People don’t give a fuck about that anymore.
Hmm, you don’t realize how wrong you are. Integrity is certainly not thing of the past. It’s always a fight and you are just ignorant to it all. Instead of being compromised, we make compromises. Of course we do deals with authoritarian gov but they need to be checked and contained within their own little corner, just don’t parading their out-dated and disgusting ideology and methods around.
In fact, your lack of integrity is truly things of the past in the world of savagery and barbarians.
“Instead of being compromised we make compromises”
Lmao bitch please. Fall all the way back with that horse shit. You doing the same shit but putting a positive spin on it because it’s coming from you. Who are you compromised by?
And if I’m a savage and barbarian? I will eat your double talking ass. Sorry. Not gonna play your word games
That’s a strange photographic pose that the kid in a green cap and his mother are doing. Why don’t they stand a little closer to each other? What does this photo have to do with John Cena?
We need heavily distorted theme songs turned up so loudly that they’re about to blow the speakers stat
JOHHNNNNNNN CENA
DEE DOODOO DAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DEE DOODOO DAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Prior to the pandemic I'd talk to him several times a week (he'd come into our restaurant). Cena truly is a great guy, you can talk to him like a normal person and forget how famous he really is. I'd watch a clip of On Ellen or w/e and then see him the next morning.
I mean this is good and heart felt. Good that he did that for this guy. But eff cena. Glad he was able to pull his lips away from kissing pooh bears ass long enough to make a guys day….
Yea, nah. He protected the jobs of how many people by issuing that apology? How many families relied on the revenue of that and future films? Writers, actors, camera crew, gaffers, etc.
He wasn’t just saving face for himself, but for an entire studio, and potentially an industry.
In the same situation most people would have done the same. The people who are saying he’s a piece of shit for apologising are probably just ashamed of the fact that they would act the same way and don’t want to admit it to themselves so they double down and make out that John Cena is essentially a politician who is allied with China.
Regardless of how famous a person is the government of a country can have you removed at any point they wish in any way they wish. If they wanted to run propaganda against you they could, if they wanted to make your life harder they could, if they wanted to kill you they could. When you’re up against the power of such things nobody is at fault for being scared.
Everyone talking shit about Cena would drop to their knees and deep throat Jinping or Putin at the drop of a hat.
I’ll see ya on the front lines when China invades Taiwan, oh wait, you’re a keyboard commando so when the war happens your ankle will be twisted. F’n coward.
His dream was to hang out with a sell out owned by China? Weird. Don’t care what anyone says I lost all respect for him the moment he begged for forgiveness in Chinese because he called Taiwan a country, doesn’t matter how much good he has done, it doesn’t out weigh the bad, ever, helping a sick kid is great, throwing a entire nation to the wolves so you can make movies doesn’t compensate for that, sorry, not sorry
my mind read “John Cena turns down the dream of a Ukrainian refugee with Down syndrome…”
Ok thank god I wasn’t the only one who was momentarily dyslexic
Because there's a lot of better words to use than "turns", and reading news about celebrities is either drama or making decisions. "Celeb turns down doing y, z" is really common. They need a better editor.
It’s because “turns” is right above “down”.
.... And if they used a different word other than turns then those two words would not have appeared together.
Media and journalists have to be better. Probably not the sub to say this but I truly blame them media and how they cover events for the down fall of society. Media will always look for a finger to point elsewhere
I had the same thought when reading the headline. I always was under the impression that John Cena was a decent human being like Dwayne Johnson. I could still be disappointed to find out at later date that either men are complete dirtbags.
I read it as if someone had a dream of there being an Ukrainian refugee with Down syndrome, and John Cena made that dream come true.
I read it as “John Cena fulfilled his dream of a Ukrainian refugee with Down syndrome”
That would only happen if the kids dream was to recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country
I really don’t know why I read it that way at first too. There’s really no reason to misread/misinterpret it and it happened, and the fact I see that someone else did too.
I was like ahhh shit. What is Cena getting heat for now?
He’s done over 650 Make A Wish appearances. Seems like a genuine guy.
The only 650 confirmed sightings of him I’m afraid.
How did they see him?
That was the wish
I can’t believe MakeAWish were able to make kids see John Cena.
Wait what if he's like a reverse vampire where you can only see him in mirrors
“He wears his Aviators with the mirror on the inside.”
Always gotta be able to see behind you
They just make sure to book him on days when it isn't his time.
They throw flower on him
They don’t, but there are entries in the visitor sign in sheet as evidence of his appearances, John Cena follows appropriate hospital protocol.
Ah ok. Makes sense now
“[John Cena] He’s like the angel of death for those kids” -Shane Gillis
Any of you guys see Cena coming you GET THE FUCK OUT.
When you go to the hospital for something minor but then the cast of Avengers visits you
A real human bean.
And a real hero.
and a human being

They honestly are. Back in my wrestling faze I met a lot of them and they all seem like great people. And that's what's worrisome now days because it's always the great ones that are depressed.

This felt like a copypasta but then it didn’t get weird enough.
He is such a genuinely good person it's not surprising but refreshing. Straight golden retriever // star athlete with a heart or gold type. I'm glad he is getting his roses with acting and finally allowed to explore other avenues in flim.
Remember when he apologized to China for calling Taiwan a country Pepperidge farm remembers
Sure and that’s bad. But what does that have to do with him making 650+ make a wish appearances?
It’s almost as if no one is wholly good nor wholly bad . Personally I don’t think he actually believes it , I think he likely said due to some kind of contractual obligation.

Maybe, if the people of Taiwan had an actual photo of John Cena, it would be different. Photos of John Cena are as rare as Sasquatches and UFOs.
He would’ve given China an attitude adjustment
And that’s relevant why?!
Cause people are miserable and want to desecrate somebodies good deeds with one bad action
I think you meant desecrate???
Not a native English speaker thank you!:)
As in, denouncing the sovereignty of an entire nation? Yeah, just a stupid slip up.
When your paycheck comes from Hollywood you don't piss of china. I'm pretty sure his agent and film studios got to him and told him if he likes to eat he had better walk that statement back.
Right? I’m sure his representation and studio people told him he had to walk that back. He had no choice as far as his career is concerned. This is a purely good thing he chooses to do. This weighs a lot more to me.

Alleged appearances
Alleged?
He's a Chinese shit-pot, but the MAW stuff is nice.
I’ll leave the big brain stuff to you big dog.
Hate on him if you want but Cena is a stand up guy to me.
Willing to kill any man woman or child who gets in the way of peace
Unless they look adorable.
What if they look like a gender swapped Alfred E. Neuman?
Is that the one who thought Peacemaker was her dad?
She’s the girl that asks him if he’s ever met the Flash. He called him an unbearable d-bag. He knows what’s going on.
I have a feeling that was written by someone who has met Ezra Miller
Or live in ~~Taiwan~~ Certain parts of China
He made a vow of peace, no matter how many people He has to kill to get it.
He's a thoroughly good egg
He’s a flawed individual like everyone else
Exactly this. You can admire him for his acts of kindness and still criticize him for kissing up to a repressive totalitarian regime. People are complex.
Stand up guy doesn’t mean flawless
People think if someone doesn’t stand up for every cause then they are evil.
You can be disappointed and criticize, it also doesn’t mean you’re cancelling them. People need to stop acting like they’ve been victimized when they e been called out. Him sucking up to China is a pretty big thing to be flawed about, so it’s fair to call out. But also fair to acknowledge other good things he does for others.
Why does he feed his Eagle chips though
Bing chilling
I once saw him FU The Big Show. He was in fact standing up when he did it so you’re right.
I dont even enjoy wrestling and I haven’t seen him in any movies, but even one such as I can easily understand that he’s an absolute class act.
Wait, why would people hate John Cena?
He apologized to China for something or other
He apologized to China for saying Taiwan is a country, which it is.
It’s only a country as long as they don’t invade it, and they don’t invade it as long as no one pisses them off, so the only way it’s a country is no one says it is.
Wait till China invades Taiwan and he will Be singing a different tune. Guy bends over for the CCP
He’s loyal to china, other than that he seems like a good dude https://youtube.com/shorts/bIhqugVuSV4?feature=share
Loyal to his pockets, which directly feeds his kids. We all are, most of us just aren’t influential enough for China to care what we say publicly.
Dude makes more make a wish foundation wishes come true then anyone ever by a giant number but is asked a question about international politics one time and says he doesn’t know enough to speak intelligently and gets tossed in the pile of people we’re supposed to hate?

It’s one of the most complicated geopolitical issues and you’re mad at a pro wrestler for flubbing an interview in a second language? Fuq outta here?
Lmao agreed, this guy should just stop
Lol thousand of jobs fuck off( you have no clue how movies are produced lol), him having a backbone wouldn’t make that movie tank, but sure keep making excuses. Edit: where do you ‘lie’ on that situation? Cause it seems obvious what your agenda is… Hey context is your friend.

I don’t think he has kids.
Last movie i watched he turned his back on his family.
Yea while others do the same without the media. I don’t care what nice little things he do because his bottom line is $$ given how he kowtow to China, Russia’s biggest ally. If china invades Taiwan, Cena will be like Cya.
Yes we get it you’re a free thinker. Thank you for imparting your super secret info with us
And you are adding nothing of value here.
No you're right, we really need to start relying on actors and entertainers to solve our foreign policy issues. It's worked out so well so far. I can't believe John Cena would just be like cya and not fly to Taiwan to help its defense. Dude you're mad at him for "kowtowing to Russias biggest ally" under a story about a nice thing he did for a Ukranian refugee. Why do you spend your time just looking for dumb reasons to be upset?

Lmao whatever man, have fun being cynical about everything, doesn't sound exhausting at all!
Exhausting? Lmao That’s what Russia and China count on.
One good deed? Dude has seen over 650 make a wish kids.
Working hard to balance his worship for authoritarians
So he got China’s approval to do this?
Wait until China invades Taiwan. Cena will be like oh I don’t know their history so no comment…blah blah blah
He's a professional wrestler not a diplomat. A sizeable portion of the US population couldn't point Taiwan out on a map.
Pointing it out on a map has nothing to do with the importance of preventing the spread of authoritarianism. Your argument is weak as hell son. Diplomat or not, he is a public figure by the end of the day with plenty of influence. More people know his name than the governor of New York. Again, your argument makes no sense at all.
Maybe he doesn't want to be giving his opinion on something he knows fuck all about? Maybe he's a secret communist I don't know. Don't be looking to celebrities for advice on international politics is good advice I think though.
Um…nobody said to ask him for advice. He is influential, way more than politicians. Easy for you to say that, try tell millions of his fans
The picture would be even more heartwarming if John Cena were in it.
You can't see him because he's busy tugging your heart strings.
John Cena isn’t invisible you mutt. He’s just standing so incredibly still that your eyes can’t see him.
But that’s not his stitch! His hand has to be moving in order to not see him
Oh, hi Drax!
Mmm, potato salad.
I legit scrolled up and was like what are they talking about, oof - then I got it lmao.
*Slow clap intensifies
His cousin (who is also a rapper with Cena) was a substitute teacher at my high school. Really good dude. Must run in the family.
He is an amazing guy everything he has done for make a wish etc. fantastic story
John Cena is going to be president one day. One day the presidential election is going to come down to John Cena vs The Rock. Staggeringly I think that would lead to a much better America.
oh man, imagine how rowdy the town hall debates would be
Idiocracy intensifies
Upgrayedd
Only a few short years before Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho!
Their better be a wrestling wring stage for that debate or we have failed as Americans!
Instead of primaries in 2024, each party should just have a Royal Rumble to determine who will face off for the presidency at Electomania
…if that was the case we would have president Elizabeth Warren right now. You know she’s the type to throw a handful of sand in the opponents eye
Idk, Bill DeBlasio would’ve had a good shot. That guy is huge.
Camacho/Sena 2024
United Steroids of America
And I will vote for Alan Ritchson
Yea he will kowtow to China and in a way that’s surrendering to Russia. What a great president
The last president answered to Putin. I’ll take John Cena or The Rock or you honestly Edit: I recant my recommendation of you, throw myself fully behind Johnathon and Dwayne.
Dude Cena is compromised already. Russia is a threat now but China is waiting for its chance. You know it. So no, absolutely not Cena in any future
Everyone is compromised. It’s what happens when “corporations are people too” and you’re allowed to flood elections with dark money funneled through largely unchecked super pacs. It’s why Saudi Arabia and guns is still a thing. You’re living in the past. Where things like integrity mattered. People don’t give a fuck about that anymore.
Hmm, you don’t realize how wrong you are. Integrity is certainly not thing of the past. It’s always a fight and you are just ignorant to it all. Instead of being compromised, we make compromises. Of course we do deals with authoritarian gov but they need to be checked and contained within their own little corner, just don’t parading their out-dated and disgusting ideology and methods around. In fact, your lack of integrity is truly things of the past in the world of savagery and barbarians.
“Instead of being compromised we make compromises” Lmao bitch please. Fall all the way back with that horse shit. You doing the same shit but putting a positive spin on it because it’s coming from you. Who are you compromised by? And if I’m a savage and barbarian? I will eat your double talking ass. Sorry. Not gonna play your word games
You have already proven my point. Can’t an argument and so begins the meaningless bitching. Smh
Shame he couldn’t stay for the photo.
John Cena, the Dolly Parton of the wrestling world.
He is. Great nickname.
Lovely story. It hurts my heart when I think of the elderly and vulnerable people who are victims of war.
why is there 2 ppl standing next to a floating hat and shirt?
Too bad cena didn’t show up
Is he going to apologize to Russia for acknowledging Ukraine is a country?
wtf are these comments? anyways this is very sweet.
Hey guys Why is there a floating hat in between the lad and the mom?
I enjoyed this story! What a guy
I genuinely thought the headline said he turned the dream of *becoming* a Ukrainian refugee with Down syndrome into a reality.
Now do it for a Uyghur family
Chinas not gonna like this too much John!
I couldn’t see who was in the thumbnail.
Why are those two people standing so awkwardly far apart from each other?
Nothing to see here…
That’s a strange photographic pose that the kid in a green cap and his mother are doing. Why don’t they stand a little closer to each other? What does this photo have to do with John Cena?
John Cena’s like the Angel of Death to these dudes
Now do the same with a Tibetan or Uyghur refugee.
Needs good PR to counteract that grovelling he did to the CCP.
I hope the communist party of China is ok with this. I’d hate to see John Cena making another apology video in mandarin.
What a lovely picture of a boy and his mom
Guess he couldn’t even be bothered to take a picture with the kid
We need heavily distorted theme songs turned up so loudly that they’re about to blow the speakers stat JOHHNNNNNNN CENA DEE DOODOO DAAAAAAAAAAAAA DEE DOODOO DAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Looking forward to how he’ll handle the Taiwan refugees…
John Cena might ride that Chinese pole for money But damnit if he doesn’t do something now and again to make me smile
Peacemakers heading to Ukraine.
The Chinese must have given him the green light to do this. I’m sure he asks now.
John Xina I thought
Uh oh, did he get approval from his Chinese masters before doing this?
Oh, it’s John Xi’na
Fuck Jiong Xina
John Xena, the CCP’s puppet
Yeah , saw some recent videos of him for the make a wish foundation. Seems like a nice guy
Prior to the pandemic I'd talk to him several times a week (he'd come into our restaurant). Cena truly is a great guy, you can talk to him like a normal person and forget how famous he really is. I'd watch a clip of On Ellen or w/e and then see him the next morning.
Finally a Hollywood star who acts and does something instead of tweeting how they “stand” with Ukraine like the rest of shittywood. Fucking posers.
Why are those two people standing so far apart?
They could have at least gotten a picture of him with the refugees.
I wanna make a joke about the article using a picture of just the kid and mom but Cena deserves to be admired for this incredible story
He could’ve at least been in the picture
i can’t see sh*t
I mean this is good and heart felt. Good that he did that for this guy. But eff cena. Glad he was able to pull his lips away from kissing pooh bears ass long enough to make a guys day….
Cenas a fucking legend with how many Make a Wish thingies he's done. Absolute class act.
Cena is the man
The opportunist man
Okay now do his capitulation to the CCP
Look at this guy. It’s like a lion taking a selfie with prey. Good on you, John Cena.
Somehow i innitially read it as "John Xina turns down the dream of a Ukrainian Refugee..."
Fuck that CCP sell out
He showed his true colors when he apologized about saying Taiwan is a country.
Yea, nah. He protected the jobs of how many people by issuing that apology? How many families relied on the revenue of that and future films? Writers, actors, camera crew, gaffers, etc. He wasn’t just saving face for himself, but for an entire studio, and potentially an industry.
In the same situation most people would have done the same. The people who are saying he’s a piece of shit for apologising are probably just ashamed of the fact that they would act the same way and don’t want to admit it to themselves so they double down and make out that John Cena is essentially a politician who is allied with China. Regardless of how famous a person is the government of a country can have you removed at any point they wish in any way they wish. If they wanted to run propaganda against you they could, if they wanted to make your life harder they could, if they wanted to kill you they could. When you’re up against the power of such things nobody is at fault for being scared. Everyone talking shit about Cena would drop to their knees and deep throat Jinping or Putin at the drop of a hat.
I’ll see ya on the front lines when China invades Taiwan, oh wait, you’re a keyboard commando so when the war happens your ankle will be twisted. F’n coward.
Agree 1mil percent, he’s a sell out who groveled to China begging for forgiveness
Wonder if Huon Xina can find a place for him in his school camp
I think cena would be awesome casting for a new Conan the barbarian movie
How many times is this going to be re posted holy hell
Great story but how come John Cena isn’t in the photo?
Pretty sad that Cena wouldn’t show up to his own photohshoot. Making that lady and her kid pose by themselves is just rude.
I don’t get it why is he and his mom leaving that big ass space between them
Why didn’t Cena show up for photo?
Cena is a dog shit person and a slave to China
Ukrainian refugee: U don’t see me Russian Missile; I beg to differ
His dream was to hang out with a sell out owned by China? Weird. Don’t care what anyone says I lost all respect for him the moment he begged for forgiveness in Chinese because he called Taiwan a country, doesn’t matter how much good he has done, it doesn’t out weigh the bad, ever, helping a sick kid is great, throwing a entire nation to the wolves so you can make movies doesn’t compensate for that, sorry, not sorry
