It also created this intense boldness. An athlete-like Theory is tailor-made for the grandest stage of them all. Ask Pat McAfee about last year.
John Cena epitomizes the modern-day icon and identifies with sports entertainment’s version of the superhero. He blazed an instrumental path for these young stars. Hustle, Loyalty, & Respect are the essential creed of WWE talent. Cena earned validation from a Phenom in the Undertaker. His immense ambassadorship separates him from others.
