11. Cena Was Never A Marine… Other Than In The Movies… Sort of
Speaking of being a soldier, it’s unfathomable, the number of people who actually think that John Cena used to be a marine… you know, in real life, not in the fantasy realm that is the WWE. In spite of his heavy support of the troops with his persona in professional wrestling, admirable though it may be, John Cena has not, not ever, been a United States Marine.
Unless, of course, one counts the 2006 film, The Marine (and even then, only briefly as he’s rather quickly discharged) spearheaded by a branch of WWE, and released by 20th Century Fox. Picture, if you will, because assuredly most of you wonderful readers have not watched this film, ninety minutes of John Cena getting tossed around via explosions (because people aren’t strong enough to toss him, or they can’t see him, or something), before and after which he breaks a bunch of necks because, as T.V. has taught everyone, this is the only way a marine is trained to kill.
This is what happens when actors like Al Pacino and Ray Liotta, and better wrestlers like Steve Austinand Randy Orton turn down a movie. So many didn’t see the movie that the sequel featured Ted DiBiase Jr. (who people actually don’t see anymore), and the following three Marine movies starred The Miz, because at least he’s funny.
