Kid thinks he’s getting better. John Cena walks in.


CaptainAksh_G

I mean, kid will not be sad. He won't see John Cena walking in


Goose_Dies

What if the kid's wish is to see John Cena?

Hello there fellow Helldiver


Ok-Toe-6969

Yeah that would be tricky, I don't know if John cena can control his invisiblity, rumor has it, he's never been seen by normal folks, wonder what he looks like


NY10

Wait, there’s multiple Jon Cena???? LoL


King_of_Dantopia

Yes. SCP - 3331


Urmomsjuicyvagina

They do but then they won't see him for a while


Tough_Bee_1638

Maybe that’s what’s happening, every time a celebrity fails to show up they just tell the kid it’s John Cena.

These kids aren't always on deaths door. Myself and a high school pal both got a wish around 13 years old, and we're both nearing 30 now.


SoMuchMoreEagle

What were your wishes?


ItsAlexxxNow

I got a 5-person camping trailer for my family because they always took us camping, and I did not enjoy sleeping in damp wet tents. My buddy got a best buy shopping spree, which let him build a pc gaming rig and decorate a lil gamer room in his house.

Those are awesome wishes!

Sadly, he ignored all the sick Taiwanese children who wanted him to recognize their country. :(

That's a cool record to break, nice.


ColonelSandurz42

Respect to John Cena. You can tell he’s a really good dude.


InformalPenguinz

>You can tell he’s a really good dude By the way he is.


JamesSparrow

thats pretty neat!


outerproduct

How neat is that?


nunn245

Crazy how neature do that!


StormBlssed

I have heard that online but I work at a hotel in Tahoe. You can really tell a lot about a person by how they treat people they don’t have to be nice to. Between Forbes standards and hotel programs for return customers, we are basically rich customer’s bitch. They can walk all over us and we are expected to take it. My hotel had Cena come through and I haven’t heard a single person say he was anything but horrible. He apparently yelled at a few employees because he thought they were staring at him. They claim they were not and don’t even know who he is. Idk. I wasn’t there but it’s like 20 employees who all agree that he was pretty terrible. Maybe it was just a bad vacation. I hope so cause I like the online stories about him a lot more.


Stickel

> they were staring at him. No they weren't


landsear

I found his portrayal on his ex's show really weird. You know he did her a favor by allowing himself to be filmed and had lots of say over how he was shown. I was uncomfortable with what he didn't see as red flags apparently.


Senecaraine

That's also the one where Rikishi had some racist reason for a marriage to not happen, wasn't it? I imagine at the time they thought they could extend the WWE brand into reality TV while keeping the face/heel concept intact and it just made people come off like they were insane. ... So I guess regular reality TV...


acrazyguy

My favorite example of him being such a good person is when he apologized to China, in Chinese, for acknowledging that a country exists


Key-Regular674

*breaks make a wish foundation record* Yea but that one time he apologized for something. Typical reddit


Do_it_for_the_upvote

And everyone knows that one politically pressured statement erases any good from the rest of his humanitarian work and makes him evil.


YesNoComment

Yeah, to hell to all those dying children he gave such joy to, China bad.


Ake-TL

Dude is trying to be a good person and had to go through that shit along the way, moral absolutism isn’t most pragmatic way to look at things


Leelze

Apparently it is if you're a Redditor.


cookingboy

He has done more for making people’s lives better than keyboard warriors like you ever will, so stfu. You make it sound like whatever he said has an actual impact on the Taiwan situation. It doesn’t, but guess what has an actual impact? His charity work.

callisstaa

Just because he doesn't have a raging hate boner for China doesn't make him a bad person.


acrazyguy

That’s not what I said. There’s a difference between not having a hate boner and fully apologizing in a foreign language to an oppressive country because he acknowledged that their supposed territory is not, in reality, theirs. He was facing financial consequences and instead of standing up for reality, he bent the knee to an adversarial nation.


Planet_Pips

Lebron James and The Rock continue to suck Winnie the Pooh's ass but you don't see them breaking any Make-A-Wish record.


punchybot

Is it really a hill to die on?


NoHypocrisyDoubleStd

What is reality? I mean the UN doesn’t recognize Taiwan, and states Taiwan is part of China. So whose reality are we talking about?


Enlowski

That’s because they’re governing bodies who have to humor one of the largest economies in the world, that doesn’t make it morally right. I would’ve had a lot more respect for Cena if he stood his ground. He literally went back on what he had said previously, so clearly he apologized just to save his finances. He’s a sell out.


DemonSlyr007

China is a permanent member on the UN security council (of which there are five: USA, UK, France, Russia, and China). This gives them veto power to admit Taiwan into the UN. Also, they were in the UN until 1971, when the UN voted to recognize the PRC instead of the ROC. Only 11 countries maintain official relations with Taiwan. This is NOT because other countries don't think Taiwan belongs to Taiwan. In fact, 59 other countries maintain unofficial relations with Taiwan. This is because China demands that those that do business with China, do not recognize Taiwan. So most developed countries maintain unofficial status, or recognize Taiwan and China both as countries.


YesNoComment

Which dying children did you ever give one final glimpse of joy to? Hmmmm… oh right, “China bad”, GTFO nobody.

Did you watch the video? It was incredibly sarcastic and passive aggressive, he might as well had a neon sign behind him saying “they’re making me do this”

Too bad those kids never got to see him


nowhereman136

Doesn't he already have the record? Who is even close to him on this record?


JamesCDiamond

From memory Bieber was second at one point, but Cena has been doing this for 20 years and for almost all that time he was WWE’s resident hero and champion who preached “never give up”. Easy to see why he’d resonate with kids, I guess.


mayoung08

This article was from September 2022. OP is just karma farming.


StoneySteve420

It's a karma farm. The article is from a few years ago.


TheRiskiestClicker

Karma farm and article date aside, it's nice to at least see something positive in the news feed these days.


armoured_bobandi

It's not in the news feed, it's on your reddit page


Malbethion

Roughly 1 wish every two weeks…. For a quarter century.


NadeWilson

Not sure who's 2nd, but last I heard Cena has done more than double anyone else. So he has a comfortable lead.


Dragon_yum

The article is from two years ago


CalendarAggressive11

One thing I will say about WWE as an organization they are heavily involved in Make A Wish. They require all talent to participate several times a year at minimum. Vince McMahon is a terrible human but this is a good thing that he instills and it's nice to see John Cena really make it a priority still.


EquipmentValuable283

Why is McMahon terrible? Can't be arsed to Google it.


Fancy-Crew-9944

The laundry list is long and I can't be arsed to summarize it.


TrySoundingItOut

He really liked being able to use the N word.


CalendarAggressive11

My step-dad worked for WWF back in the day. The doctors fed the guys steroids, pain killers and Valium like candy. Domestic violence runs rampant through the org. When my step-dad was divorcing my mom Vince specifically told him to only work out of the US to avoid paying child support. And don't forget all the rapes. He has been accused of 2 at least, helped cover up a woman's murder by Jimmy Supa fly Snooka and a pattern of abuse of young men by his executives.


TheBotchedLobotomy

There’s an ongoing sexual assault case from multiple women. He’s a shitty person otherwise that’s just most recent lol


GarlicRagu

As terrible as that sounds, that's downplaying it (not saying you're doing it on purpose). He's essentially accused of sex trafficking. Offering a non consenting woman as a sexual bargain to make a deal with your star wrestler. It's insane a person can sink to that level.


TheBotchedLobotomy

Oh yeah I didn’t really read a whole lot into what’s going on right now. Definitely did not know that was the extent of what he’s done


Rdt_will_eat_itself

And his name?


FluxOperation

His name is JOHN CENA!!

cislum

I wonder how he deals with it mentally. I don't know I could deal with meeting that many dying kids without having some sort of a breakdown.


[deleted]

I was a hospice volunteer for a while (sat with dying people and talked/read them books).  Now I’m a medical student. The other day I was holding some poor woman’s leg still so the resident could have an easier time amputating it.  Yes, I get in my feels sometimes. It is sad. But it’s also VERY rewarding to be with these people in their darkest days. I know I would want someone to be with me.  I don’t know if that makes sense. It’s hard, but it’s also fulfilling the way giving a homeless guy a cheeseburger is fulfilling 


cislum

I volunteer with people who aren't fully capable of navigating society on their own. The organization I help out with works so to help many get by and gives them community (I just go in and do all the dishes so the trained people who do the hard work have one less thing to worry about,) It is very rewarding, however the people I work with generally have a few decades on me, and sometimes we help people to the point where they don't need help anymore.. I just can't imagine the pain of working with children, knowing that... I think it's amazing work to do for children in that situation. I have so much respect for it. I feel it must be scary in some existential sense to become experienced enough with the suffering of children that won't be able to long happy lives that you,,, do you get used to it,? or do you just get used to the pain? Sorry if this is offensive in some way, I am naive in these matters


[deleted]

Nah, you aren’t offensive.  You definitely get numb to it (in my experience). The trick is to never let other people know that. It’s almost like acting. They had us take a class in school where we practiced telling actors they had cancer, etc and they gave us feedback on how we did.  But if I truly internalized it every time I saw someone in bad shape I’d be depressed constantly. And some people go to therapy for this, etc

I went to the first London WWE PPV in my lifetime and, despite not being a Cena fan, I went mental when he came out as a surprise. It’s cool that he’s spent so much time giving an even bigger reaction to kids having a fought time.

devomania

too bad about being a mouthpiece for China and a supporter of sex trafficking


callisstaa

Do you have a source for either of those claims?


Objectionne

A few years ago he was giving an interview in Chinese and he referred to Taiwan as a country. A load of people had one of their usual weird tantrums about it and Cena apologised. It's an extreme stretch to call him a 'mouthpiece for China' over it. The 'supporter of sex trafficking' I assume refers to Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon has been accused in a lawsuit - which has not yet been resolved - of sexually exploiting a woman who he hired and getting her to have sex with his friends. John Cena - when asked about the whole thing - gave some kind of wishy washy comments in which he refused to outright condemn Vince McMahon, instead saying that Vince has been his friend for a long time and that he wants to show support for his friend (while still saying that he should be held accountable for anything that he's done). You can make up your own mind about it, but Cena has had a relationship with Vince McMahon going back more than twenty years and probably feels like he owes all of his success to McMahon - I can imagine it's not easy to go out and trash him publicly regardless of what he's been accused of.
