If you have ever had the opportunity to meet someone as globally known as John Cena, chances are, they were not very nice, or receptive towards you, unless you were at a function where you paid to meet that individual. In fact, they were probably a straight up jerk to you.
I know that's been my experience, more often than not. There have been some wrestlers I've come across who just don't like interacting with the fans. It's almost like they view fan interactions as a burden.

Well, that's certainly not the case with John Cena. I've had the opportunity to meet Cena several times. Once was at a Comi-Con convention, once at a grocery store in Tampa and the other two times at two different airports. Each and every time, he was overly kind to each and every single fan who approached him. He took his time, spoke with each fan, individually and made each one feel like they were more like friends than fans.
There was even an instance at the Atlanta airport where Cena missed a connecting flight and had to wait 4 more hours for another flight, all because he wanted to make sure each fan had their moment with him. He's always been extremely down to earth and has always treated each person with the utmost respect and appreciation. This level of humbleness is something I've yet to see duplicated.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
