Veteran wrestling announcer, Jim Ross said on his podcast Grilling with JR, that Cena always loved granting wishes because he believed in it, he believed that granting a wish of this sort can really turn a person’s life around.
“Cena was special, even then [2006] on his Make-A-Wish, he believed in it. A lot of guys we would go to, to do Make-A-Wishes didn’t have John’s commitment. I’ve always admired John for many things but his commitment to the Make-A-Wish kids, these terminally ill children was really really special,” Jim Ross said. (H/T: Inside The Ropes)
