Yesterday, as we all know it, it was the birthday of the never-seen 17, who we all know is none other than the suit-wearing, event-hosting, recently retired John Cena.
Now, it’s not just an occurrence on this app. It happened on other social media platforms, but not as much as Reddit; if you want to know what I’m talking about, please bear with me.
I went to the thread of a post that wished his birthday that was on this subreddit. And you wouldn’t believe the amount of hatred the post got. Some of the comments were actually kinda disrespectful. And I’m thinking “for what ? Just because someone wants to wish his birthday ?”
So I moved onto another wrestling subreddit and it was about the same as this one.
Then, I went to subreddits that weren’t wrestling related where posts were wishing his birthday too. I checked the comments and… my god… the amount of people having fun with the invisible jokes and the people wishing him his birthday was like night and day compared to those within the bubble of wrestling. And I’m thinking “Wow! This is incredible! It’s like a whole new world out there!”
I draw to the conclusion that John Cena is more beloved amongst non-wrestling fans than amongst those within the wrestling community. That’s my take on it, that’s where I stand.
Where do you stand on this matter? What’s your take on it ? Feel free to discuss, I accept any of your thoughts on this matter.
P.S./DISCLAIMER: My post doesn’t hold anything against the fans of professional wrestling or the people on this subreddit (or any wrestling subreddit for that matter), I’m a wrestling fan and a WWE subredditor myself.
