This is the most ironic thing you’ll read this week. “Professional” wrestler John Cena had this to say about the UFC:
“It’s just not something that particularly interests me. UFC is where boxing was years ago, and I was never really into boxing, either. Cena said he prefers professional wrestling because it’s “regulated entertainment that’s safe for anyone to enjoy.’’ And UFC? “It is what it is,’’ he said. “It can be pretty over the top, and it’s not something I’d want my children to watch.’’
Is this guy for real? Would he let his kids watch the filth that is pro wrestling? They degrade women and basically all of humanity with their speech and stupidity in the ring. Pro wrestling is so great because “it’s regulated” that you can find a list of over 40 wrestlers that died by the age of 40.
The people that wrote the article that quoted Cena are apparently uneducated about the sport of MMA. They wrote: “It’s safe to say that World Wrestling Entertainment star John Cena could hold his own with any UFC strongmen, including Mauricio Rua, Randy Couture, or Chuck Liddell.” Nice job looking up the names of some UFC fighters. You should have continued to read about the sport. John Cena would last about all of 2 minutes with any of those 3 guys. But it also seems that Cena may already have a head injury.
Well the truth is that the WWE of today IS way more regulated than it was 10 years ago... It's rated PG and is generaly a more family-oriented product...
The wrestlers who die at relative young ages are usually the ones who are fired or retired and can't cope with a "normal" life after living on the road for years... And yes, steroids have been a big part of the company and may still be it - they do have a more strict testing-routine than ever though...
The fact that Cena would hold his own with any fighter from the UFC is utterly ridicilous - A "fake" fighter and former bodybuilder stands no chance in crossing over, period...
I don't know, I'm sick and tired so I may just be rambling
That iis ridiculous. A flyweight would tool Cena in a fight. He has no skill whatsoever. He doesn't have a good wrestling base like Lesnar or Lashley had. He can't strike like MMA fighters and he would be clueless as to how to grapple.
I haven't watched wrestling in the last 5 years, so I wouldn't know. I am a grown man so I don't watch wrastlin anymore. Is Ricky the Steamboat Dragon still wrestling?
Remember "Brawl for All" 10 years ago with the WWF? All the wrestlers boxed each other in a tournament. Then at Wrestlemania the wrestler that beat everyone faced Butterbean, and the rest is history!
Funny story about that...They expected Steve Williams to win it, so when he got beat by Bart Gunn they were kind of angry, Bart went on to win the tournament, so they made him fight Butterbean.
yea would be good to see your kids copy the moves of WWE stars and start hitting each other over the head with sledge hammers or, WWE is just so low in every way I even find it racist half the time.
Besides isn't Cena like another Rock character, you know shit wrestling, a gay finishing move and no skills for high risk stunts like say Jeff Hardy is capable of.
How exactly can one be bad at wrasslin? You go out hit a guy with a few chairs, pretend to be hurt, then get up, use your "finisher" (dumbest thing ever), and win.
i wish he would try to make one fight. Shane Carwin vs John Cena in the steal cage octagon for the number one contender spot. That would be a fight i would be a fight i would pay to see.
