On his chicago sports.com blog, the Tribune’s Luis Arroyave interviewed WWE wrestler John Cena:
What did you think of Zidane’s “Junk Yard Dog” impression at the World Cup?
“I never saw it. Soccer was never a sport I really got into, mainly because I wasn’t very good at it. I’ve taken a few headbutts though.”
Did you ever think about playing in the NFL?
“I played on the offensive line at Springfield College (Massachusetts). I was 6 feet, 200 pounds. I knew my limits.”
Ever call out a Chicago sports team?
“No, I never got a chance. But the Cubs would have been a good one since they have the whole “woe is me” thing going for them. Chicago is a great sports town as well as wrestling crowd. I’m not a fan favorite there, but if people want to pay money to tell me to go to hell, that’s cool.”
