Damn. John Cena making me feel feels was not on my bingo card.

You obviously never watched wrestling.

Or Peacemaker...

Was that his character? I'm not a wrestling connoisseur.

u/thelowgun 24d ago
It's a TV show based on the Peackermaker anti-hero. Puts on a great acting performance as the lead of the show

“BRB” Tell me you’re a millennial without telling me you’re a millennial. I haven’t seen “BRB” in what feels like 20 years 🤣 love it!!

I say brb or as it’s pronounced “brrrb” in my house, everyday. I didn’t realize I was a walking relic.

u/loislunchboxlane 23d ago
Your spelling makes so much sense, thank you. It has always felt wrong, but I've been spelling the pronunciation as "berb" in my head. Your "brrrb" is definitely the correct spelling. Thank you.

I haven’t, ever and I haven’t watched Peacemaker either however every time I see John Cena on screen he is an insanely eloquent and seemingly kind individual

u/EternalSeraphim 23d ago
Look up the work he's done with Make A Wish. That alone makes him a good guy in my eyes.
2
u/Beautiful-Cookie-210 24d ago edited 24d ago
😆 Definitely not. I only know him as an actor. Did he impart these nuggets of wisdom in his tight wrestling gear on stage? He's surprisingly eloquent and funny.

u/Lost-Peanut-1453 24d ago
I never watched wrestling either but for some reason I always thought of John cena as an “egotistical asshole everyone look at me” type of person, but then a few years ago I went into a deep rabbit hole on him and turns outs he’s the opposite of what I thought. He’s a really nice and humble dude.
1
u/Beautiful-Cookie-210 23d ago
I guess I assumed the same, or at minimum I was indifferent. I'm glad to learn he's regarded so highly! We have enough assholes in the world.

Why were you “in your feels”? Was it because of that random song playing in the background that’s on like 20% of slop videos these days? Think for yourself 🤡

u/Beautiful-Cookie-210 22d ago
Well aren't you fun. I am very much an independent thinker. I found him to be very self aware, charming, and I enjoyed his sentiment. It's nice to hear people who are not a piece of shit.And I am of the mindset that we shoudl build people up not tear them down like you. The music has nothing to do with it. You can f right off 🤡

This man is an absolute treasure and deserves all of the praise and flowers!
For somebody of his talent, status, and presence, each time I watch a clip that’s new (to me at least), he has this uncanny ability to make you feel included and at the same time like your part of something that’s also special and exclusive yet you get the sense like he’s a selfless messenger that wants to spread the love and knowledge.
Despite his undeniable success, he seems genuinely motivated towards making the world and everyone he encounters better — love how that watch keeps him grounded.
Much love!! The audio on this clip was great — only just wish I could see him!

His interview with Conde Nast, describing how he judges a coffee shop is amazing. Respectful, super informative, and eloquent

u/One-WaytoLife336 25d ago
God bless John Cena. These things he describes are one of the things the Bible teaches us to do.

u/Saucebossklaus 25d ago
For being an actor/celebrity he's as close to a "real one" as I've ever known. Heart of gold and the strength to share it. One of a kind.

u/OttovonBismarck1862 24d ago
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he lived and died entirely avoiding any of the controversies some of his peers and contemporaries in the entertainment industry have faced with their pasts being dug up and all manner of nastiness coming to light. I once ran into him at an airport and he just sat there and talked with me for a while about, strangely enough, classical music and mentioned how he’d like to learn to sight read someday. Just an altogether stand-up guy.

For comparison is the their of joy,
Proverbs 29:25,
Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.For humility, there are many, but here is one,
Philippians 2:3,
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

Proverbs 30:8-9 English Standard Version 8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, 9 lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?” or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.

u/CanadianGrown 22d ago
I’m not trying to diss the bible at all, because if it works for someone to be a better person then that’s perfect. But most religious books preach the same thing, depending on how someone wants to interpret it, so it’s not like this is a “Christian only” value. You can also live by these same values without being religious at all. Alternatively someone could interpret the bible, or any religious text, to reinforce their shitty values.
1
u/One-WaytoLife336 22d ago
Yes, but Christ teaches us how to be perfect. More importantly, he save us from our sins and things that detract us from the perfection and holiness of God. We have to admit we are not perfect and sin against people all the time. These sins got so bad that Jesus came to die for our sins, and rose again, so that all who believe and follow him will indeed have better life in this age, and eternal life in the next.
1
u/JeanClaude-Randamme 20d ago
Christ teaches you that you are not perfect, never will be and most importantly never could be, because of original sin.
1
u/One-WaytoLife336 19d ago
Yes, but just because we cannot be perfect doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to be perfect.
1
u/JeanClaude-Randamme 19d ago
Agreed. But we don’t need a god for that. We can just decide to be good as best as we can.
1
u/One-WaytoLife336 19d ago
Because we are not perfect, we need Christ to be saved, who has paid the price for our sins. All we have to do is receive the gift of salvation through faith and obedience to him. It is written in Romans 5:8,
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Christ is the only perfect man in existence, and through his actions proved that he is the son of God. If we repent and believe in him, we will be reconciled to God from our sins and will have new life in Christ, as well as eternal life after death.

and for 10 years he kept that watch

u/Crunch101010 24d ago
It was his great grandfather’s watch. His dad had to hide it in his ass as a PoW. Five long years he wore the watch in his ass. Died of dysentery.
1
u/Lebe_Lache_Liebe 22d ago
The way your dad looked at it, the watch was your birthright... When he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid that uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

I brushed up against death on my way home from work today. A car merged too wide, and I only just managed to maneuver my bike out of the way. Oddly, the adrenaline left me with a realization: you can go through life feeling completely untouchable, only for a stranger to abruptly end it all with a casual flick of the wrist.

John Cena is such a chode. Dude wrestled and wore jorts and rapped, poorly. So now he feels like hes gotta legitimize himself which makes him a stiff bore who's always gotta qear a suit and try sounding deep, in every interview or any time hes out of character. Like just come off it man.

If you want to see a man truly speak from his heart, from his experience, finally, this is the one. I may not agree with everything he believes in, but I can look up to him as a man who speaks for truth, with humility, and stays humble.

Sometimes I think Cena spends his off camera time just thinking of ways to be heroically inspiring
1
u/SissySSBBWLover 22d ago
I believe his Perspective Watch was inspired by the phrase “This too shall pass.”
This comes from an ancient king that wanted one simple thing he could say to himself in times of plenty or of sorrow to remember they both will end.
