“Just Had a Weird Courage” – WWE Legend John Cena Recalls Getting Beaten Up Everyday During His Childhood for His Unique Taste in Music

We sometimes get offended when we get bullied on social media or anywhere else. It becomes a norm these days to troll people without any reason. But we can always bounce back in life, choosing not to take this thing in mind. A great example of this is none other than the 16-time WWE world champion John Cena.

The former WWE is star widely known for being quite straightforward by nature. He didn’t compromise with his own authentic self at any cost. This characteristic actually stemmed from his very childhood when he refused to give up on his unique musical taste for escaping bullying.

Detailing his feelings and motivation to keep going amid the tough situation, the star further stated, ‘It would be easy to just be like, okay, I’ll dress the way they want. No one will pick on me anymore. I’d got even more like l never really used physical violence to beat violence. I just was myself even more right and I think I’ve always just had a weird courage to be like ‘man I should try that I should try this and see where it goes in.'”
