John Cena is one of the greatest superstars in pro wrestling. Not only has he made a name for the company but he is also responsible for its enormous success. With Cena’s impressive in-ring skills and humble nature, he is also well-known for his mic skills. The Cenation Leader has been a part of various famous WWE segments. However, he has also marked his appearance in some infamous ones. One of them featured him with his father on an episode of RAW in 2011.
The January 14, 2011 episode of RAW featured Mick Foley hosting a new segment called “John Cena, This is Your Life.” It was a difficult time for Cena, as fans had turned against him and were booing him over and over. Mick holding a segment about John’s life at such a time was not what people expected. The two people that Mick introduced one by one were Cena’s Little League coach and Bull Buchanan. The third person introduced by Foley was none other than Cena Sr.
John Cena’s father came down to the ring and addressed the fans who showed up for RAW, especially those who came in to boo his son. Cena Sr. called out the fans who chant “Cena sucks!” and told them that he does not, but those people do suck. Moreover, he asked the anti-Cenation crowd how dare they hassle his son, who has worked so hard for this business. In spite of his father being all supportive, Cena felt the whole segment was embarrassing and was hiding his face behind his cap.
A small clip of the whole segment was uploaded by WWE‘s official Twitter account on the eve of Father’s Day. The whole segment was hilarious but was considered a copy of the eponymous show that once featured Muhammad Ali. The old segment was relieved by the WWE Universe. However, fans reacted to the post and made some humorous remarks.
