John Cena

For young WWE fans, John Cena is the man. A reigning champion in the world of wrestling, Cena’s becoming equally familiar outside the ring, especially for his blossoming film career. This entry in the Wrestling’s Tough Guys series gives a brief introduction, from the rise of the man himself, struggling as a bullied, skinny kid in a small Massachusetts town, to the six feet one, 250-pound muscle machine he is today. The easy-to-follow text is enlivened by captions, asides, and boxed-off factoids about Cena’s life and career. And if it’s crisp, sweaty wrestling photographs you’re after, this book has you covered, including pics of Cena’s signature move, the Attitude Adjustment. Back matter is standard, though the glossary is especially helpful for those new to such phrases as leg drop and tapped out.
