So I was thinking about Cena and Make A Wish earlier. 500 wishes is an astronomical number. But it's even more impressive when you consider how relatively short his career has been to be able to do so many.

Let's say for argument's sake that from the moment he debuted in WWE, kids have been wishing to meet him at a consistent rate. That would mean he's granted one wish every 10.276 days.

But obviously kids weren't lining up for orange shorts Prototype Cena, so instead let's take it from his first WrestleMania, the first time it looked like they were really planning on doing something special with him. That makes it one wish every 8.37 days.

Okay, so maybe US Champion Cena wasn't getting a lot of wishes. What about his first world title run? 7.598

If we push it to the latest possible time that kids would have begun wishing for him, let's call it the night he was drafted to Raw, the moment he became The Guy. 7.47

Basically, the guy has granted one dying kid his or her biggest wish about ONCE PER WEEK FOR 10-13 YEARS. That's fucking incredible.
