John Felix Anthony Cena

Born on April 23, 1977 and fueled by ruthless aggression, John Cena burst onto the WWE scene on the June 27, 2002, episode of UPN's SmackDown! when he challenged Kurt Angle to an impromptu match. After coming within inches of defeating the Olympic Champion, Cena was congratulated by several superstars of SmackDown!, most notably by the Undertaker. A lot has changed since then. Very rarely has an athlete entered the ring who can walk the walk and talk the talk immediately, but if anybody could have done it, it would be John Cena.

Using an uncanny ability to perform in the ring and at the microphone in his own unique way, Cena spent his rookie year in WWE challenging the best in the business for in-ring supremacy. A former football star at Springfield College, Cena began the two activities that would prove to define him; training and rapping. Now he is doing both in front of millions on a weekly basis. Cena claims to already be a legend. While that issue may be in doubt, there is no denying that he has the talent to be a legend one day. He has faced some of the very best to ever compete in WWE and has held his own.
