Breaking news: John Cena possible back injury...

[Playboy]

No one knows the severity of this but here goes:

The word going around WWE is that John Cena is suffering from a back injury.

Reports indicate that Cena is suffering from a few bulging discs, which has created some discomfort. As nothing more about the reported injury, such as which discs are affected, has been released, the severity of the injury is hard to assess.

Nonetheless, it does appear that the back issue was responsible for WWE dropping plans to hold a John Cena vs. Sheamus match at the Royal Rumble.

More shortly.

I hope that Cena’s been planning for his future.
Save some of that big-time money he’s been making.
Learn about investing some of that money.
Line up some career endeavors beyond bumping for a living.

A lot of guys never see the writing on the wall.
They’re so happy to make it to the big time, but – for many – by the time they get there, their bodies have already absorbed a lot of abuse.
It’s a shame that, for many of them, once they make it to the top they don’t get to be there for long.

I'm sure he's perfectly fine. You gotta see the size of his pad in Florida and his car collection. He's loaded. His WWE salary alone is about 2 mill per yr + his movie money and endorsements. I find its the guys who haven't really had a longevity in the business or were around before the pay scale went up.

Putting the Big Show on your shoulders definitely connot be good for your back. Hope he's OK.

I threw my back out just looking at this pic.

On Cena's dvd, they show him squating 5 plates aside (495lbs) for an easy 8 reps. He trains very hard. Its still blows me away how he just heaved up the big show numerous times for an FU.

Cena has got to be one of the strongest.

Absolutely. On his dvd there is a section that shows him training. He lifts unreal poundages. His squats are rock bottom (no pun intended). He is one strong dude.

wow, i knew he was big but never knew he was so strong

[big L dawg]

Damn...I'm goin to raw on Monday in Columbus...wasn't he supposed to wrestle?

[Montague]

I would think so.

Bret is supposed to be there, so maybe you'll see some interesting stories unfold as they decide on and set up the Wrestle Mania angles.

Have fun!

I just read on the net that Drew Mcntyre dislocated his patella on smackdown at Tues nights taping and there's know word on the severity of his injury. I hope he's ok and doesn't have to forfiet the title.

Also there is a possibility that the Undertaker vs Ray Mysterio will be a triple threat match at the Royal Rumble. So will see what happens. WWE has been chainging their storylines last minute due to leaks from internal sources.

Thats what these guys do. They wrestle with injuries like that and usher in the pain killers to be able to wrestle through the pain. Next thing you know, addiction starts.

Cena is probably the single best worker that they have now and so far he has kept his image up. No screw ups. He's always doing charity for kids and the sick, on the road constatly, does house shows all the time while other big stars only do certain a amount, etc. I just hope he keeps it that way.

[Montague]

I think he's figured out "the formula."

Work hard + keep the fans happy + keep the old man happy = great pay & job security.

Exactly.

Yeah you cannot take anything away from this guy. Everytime you see him he's working his rear end off for us. You can see he loves what he does.

I like the fact that he's genuine. I really enjoyed his dvd and I recomend anyone here who is a true fan to buy it.

John Cena back injury update:

To follow up on the news that John Cena underwent an MRI last week to determine the extent of his back injury, the MRI came back clean. It's been reported that Cena has been working with a bulging disc in his lower back and he's been working a lighter schedule in recent weeks, but he is in relatively good shape.
