WWE champion John Cena has had many memorable battles with opponents in the wrestling ring before making a career for himself as an action star in Hollywood. The actor has been one of the regular draws in the wrestling championship nights and their marquee encounters with many key players in the federation. Cena has also enjoyed great popularity as an athlete with a huge fan following to support him.
But there have also been occasions where The Peacemaker star has been on the receiving end of trolling during his wrestling encounters. One such occasion came during ECW One Night Stand Event when Cena was fighting with another wrestling legend and former WWE champion.
The Time That John Cena Was Booed During A WWE Match
WWE organised the first ECW One Night Stand event back in 2005 and after seeing its immense success, decided to reopen the event as a brand. The ECW went on to become one of the most famous professional wrestling promotions of the 90s. It was ultimately purchased by the WWE after it became bankrupt. Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam who is also a former WWE World champion recently looked back at his World Championship match against John Cena from the ECW One Night Stand pay per view event from 2006.
The athlete remembered it as one of the rare occasions where he was the main draw while Cena was trolled mercilessly by fans. Speaking of the incident where fans made shocking gestures using Cena’s t shirt including throwing it back to him, Van Dam said,
“What are the chances that a fan who can have a John Cena shirt, since they are all fans at heart, would do that and boom, the 2nd guy does it again, 3rd guy wipes his a** with it. I had no idea that it was gonna be like that”
Van Dam went on to add that while he was a huge fan of John Cena and the star power he brought to any match, it will remain his best memory from the WWE simply for the crowd support he received despite the Hollywood star being the big draw for the event.
Will John Cena Jump Camps from DC To Marvel?
In an interview with Esquire’s YouTube show, wrestling champion and DC alum John Cena expressed his desire to step into the Marvel Universe. The star who was then promoting his Hulu film Vacation Friends, gave his opinion about an article that touted him to be a perfect choice to play The Thing in Marvel’s Fantastic Four Reboot. When questioned if he was open to the idea of taking on the character, Cena replied,
“I would consider most anything. I think keeping yourself open to options and different perspectives is a good way to go about life. This would simply be a thing that I would consider because I like to keep my perspective open to new things.”
This is not the first time that John Cena has expressed a desire to be associated with Marvel. The legendary star appeared on the Ellen show in 2019 and marketed himself as the perfect candidate to play one of Marvel’s strongest superheroes, Captain America, and was vociferous in his explanation for the same.
