Just a reminder · Jan 31, 07:35 PM by Backyard Wrestler

Figured some of you hardcore fans may have forgotten that today John’s first feature film “The Marine” is hitting store shelves.

It’s a pretty good package coming with not only the movie on DVD format but a pretty extensive list of special bonuses including a “Making of” feature, theatrical trailers and a special clip entitled John Cena’s Aussie day off.

The movie itself has had mixed reviews but it still belongs in every true fans DVD collection.

Yesterday a message went out via WWE Mobile Alerts alerting fans that John was injured after, quite literally, being bulldozed through a table on RAW.

After the incident John was suffering from extreme pain, the doctors were called in and they felt Cena was suffering from a raptured spleen of all things..

They rushed him to a nearby hospital but John refused to check himself in.

Cena is a huge fan of cartoons. He loves all cartoons but he much prefers what you’d see on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Boomerang or Nickelodeon over what you’d see on Adult Swim, Comedy Central or any other made for adults cartoons.

Cena used to hang out and freestyle while on the road with Samoa Joe and Frankie Kazarian while in UPW.

He bought a 3.5-million-dollar house in Tampa Bay, Florida and currently resides there
