WWE John Cena Biography

John Cena Biography

John Cena had a lot to live up to from the very moment he was born, with his father, John Cena Sr. (Johnny Fabulous), enjoying a successful and lucrative wrestling career. John Cena graduated from Springfield College, Massachusetts with a degree in exercise physiology and movement studies. He reached All-American status as a center in the college football team and then decided to become a body-builder.

After becoming disillusioned with his future as a body-builder and with his father's close guidance, John Cena was always destined to follow, and naturally became a professional wrestler in 2000 when he joined UPW (Ultimate Pro Wrestling) under the guise The Prototype. With John Cena very much on WWE's radar, it was not long until he was offered a contract with the company, which he signed shortly after his brief stint in UPW. John Cena was assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling (WWE's talent farm) where he wrestled as Mr. P. During his time in OVW, John Cena appeared on UPN's reality show Manhunt under the pseudonym Big Tim Kingman. The show was produced in association with WWE, and when the fabricated and over-dramatized nature of the show was later exposed, WWE attempted to erase all records of it ever happening, severing the links it had to both John Cena and WWE's name.
