Hence, they are always up for spending time with their hero. One such rendezvous ended up being the weirdest of them, and recently, The Champ opened up about it.

The Champ’s charity work earned him a prestigious accolade

There are many wrestlers involved with the Make-A-Wish foundation to provide a wide smile on the faces of critically ill children. However, there’s only one wrestler who made his entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for his charity work. 

Yes, it is the 16-time World Champion John Cena who entered the Guinness Book after granting 650 wishes, which is much higher than anyone else. This prestigious accolade shows how much it means for him to spread smiles. 

Though Cena was not very vocal about his charity work early on in his career, he became more so later on. He even revealed the reason behind talking about it more.  It is our hope that the great wrestler’s work inspires other such personalities.
