John Cena, WWE star, grants a record 300th request for Make-A-Wish

There are always plenty of candidates for top sports celebrity bad guy: LeBron, Tiger, T.O., Roger Clemens, and on and on.
But what about top sports good guy? Those names don't come to mind quite as easily. Even beloved athletes such as Tim Tebow and Derek Jeter have detractors.
But by one important measure, there is a runaway favorite.
John Cena.
http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/Mc.../470_2031739.0Pro wrestler John Cena granted his 300th Make-A-Wish request to a 7-year-old boy.The pro wrestling superstar granted his 300th Make-A-Wish request to a 7-year-old Pennsylvania boy named Jonny Littman earlier this week. That's far and away tops among sports celebrities.
(Pause here for those who don't think pro wrestling is a sport. It's not. But tell that to a sick child. And, by the way, throwing a 250-pound man across a ring 300 nights a year constitutes athleticism of some sort.)
Only a few other sports stars have granted more than 200 wishes, including Hulk Hogan, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Michael Jordan is in the 200 neighborhood and Kobe Bryant has granted more than 100. (More than 50 wishes will be granted at the London Olympics.) Cena raced past 300 and he fully intends on getting to 1,000.
How popular is Cena with Make-A-Wish? There's a conference room dedicated to him at the company headquarters in Arizona.
"Overall, I get 100-140 WWE wish requests a year," said Shaina Reeser, sports program manager at Make-A-Wish, "and the majority is for John Cena. He probably does two or three kids every week. It's crazy."
[Also: Yahoo! Sports spans the globe to re-live the greatest Summer Olympic moments]
Cena never says no. Even though his schedule is tougher than most stars – there are no home games and there's no off-season – he unfailingly builds in time for Wish kids. WWE rep Kevin Hennessey even says Cena's 300th wish was so important that his bosses rearranged his entire schedule for it.
It's not that other athletes are cold-hearted. Pretty much everyone says yes to Make-A-Wish every time. (In fact, LeBron, Tiger, T.O. and Clemens have all done over-the-top wishes for kids across the country.) But sometimes schedules conflict or an athlete can't be in the area where his wish kid lives. And, sadly, because of illness and the course of treatment, wish kids don't always have a lot of time to wait for their favorite athletes to become free. One of the big myths about Make-A-Wish is that children pass away from their illnesses; many make a full recovery. The only requirement for a wish kid is a life-threatening condition. But that usually entails severe hardship not only physically but financially. Families spend so much on care and medical bills that they can't afford over-the-top presents. That's where Make-A-Wish comes in. And that's where celebs like John Cena come through.
"He has been a big supporter of us forever," said Make-A-Wish national communications manager Mark Hiegel. "By this time next year, he'll have 400."
And while some heroes do a simple meet-and-greet, Cena turns the Wish into an experience. He usually invites the child to Monday Night Raw, where he takes the entire family backstage, gives them all signed memorabilia and introduces them to other WWE stars. That's what he did for Jonny Littman on Monday in New York. But then Cena followed up with a surprise visit the next day on Good Morning America.
That's by far the best part of the Make-A-Wish day – the surprise. Kids sometimes get shy and sometimes beam for hours, but they all forget for a while about the next hospital visit or the next round of chemo.
"He gets the kids out of their shells," Reeser said of Cena. "He's every good at asking questions, pulling information out of them. There's always a huge smile and their eyes light up. The more outgoing kids will say Cena's phrase, which is 'You can't see me.' "
But that's just it. A sick kid can see Cena. He makes sure of it.

guess he's not that bad of a guy

Haters will always hate, but i have to tip my hat to John Cena i have nothing but respect for the man. It shows you why WWE "force him down our throats" why wouldnt you want this guy to be the face of the company from a business and personal point.

I for one definitely thought he was the spawn of Satan until I read this...

Ya Actually got a chance to meet Cena when he made a visit to Cold Stone for make a wish. Bunch a kids. We got pictures at the Job. Cold Stone is a very famous Ice Cream Creamery in New York City. Might sound funny but I'm a baker there. Long story.

Make-A-Wish is one of my favorite Charities along with the NBA Cares.

Not suprised but his record setting number since this is all he wants to do. A lot of people say they loved this but I see it in Cena's eyes every time he speaks. And he never shys from interviews or autographs. My son got his autograph twice in one night and he remembered him on the second time. (at MSG). I don't like Cena for his in ring ability. I think his dropkick that he added not to long ago was stupid he should of added something else. His mic skills have become predictable. But as far as just being a great guy. He always have my vote.

What a wonderful human being that John Cena is.

I still hate him, but I do respect him!

Cold Stone Creamery is a pretty huge company with stores all around the world. Thus making your description of it hilariously Michael Scott-like.

didn't Shaq make a movie about that?

Anything to make you forget he allegedly bangs ring rats and cheats on his wife with Divas, thus leading to his current divorce.

She was unnamed. Kenn Doane (Kenny Dykstra) mentioned the situation in his interview with SEScoops.com. He wouldn't name her as she had nothing to do with him and stated it wasn't the public's business.

Mickie James

The house wives won't love him as much if the rumors of the affairs are true. Really hope its the wife that cheated on him. Not for Cena himself but for all the kids that look up to him. Mickie James thing (if it happened) was before the marriage.

I don't like John Cena, but I can't bee too hard on him because of all the great work he does with kids.

Anytime I hear his music, it's like "Here we go again". Then the camera shows kids in full Cena gear, and I'm like "Awww. Fuck it, let him do his thing".

Personally, the dude's personal life is the dude's personal life, and whether I agree or disagree with Cena's personal choices makes no real difference to him as a performer. He's one of the best ever and perhaps the WWE's most dependable star ever. None of us are perfect.

At least Cena can still preach about Hustle.

I want you guys to think of all of the memorable matches that John Cena has been in. Not only is he a great guy, but he's an incredible performer. GIVE HIM HIS CREDIT, GOD DAMN IT.

He is a class act for fitting this in given how nuts his schedule would be.

I think Cena could be over with the male crowd if he added the catchphrase "I don't love dem hos!"

That John Cena, such a villain. First, he grants wishes to 300 sickly children, is always nice and polite to every fan he meets (post-divorce meetings are negotiable, however), supports and stays loyal to the entire fanbase he's a part of to his dying breath. Man, what a bastard. Damn that John Cena, son!

His legacy will be forever tarnished if he cheated on his wife. People don't look at Tiger Woods the same way anymore.

Not saying it's fair or that he actually did cheat on his wife. If he did and it's proven he'll have a hard time bouncing back no matter how many wishes he makes.

When a guy preaches hustle, loyalty and respect something like this could undo everything he has accomplished.

I don't really like the man as a performer, but he's worked his ass off to get the respect of his fellow workers and the fans. I respect John Cena the same way I respect Derek Jeter. I'm really hoping he didn't do anything or that his wife won't lie about it just to tarnish him.

I really don't think he will.

Love what the man accomplishes, hate the character.
