John Cena Just Accomplished A Very Impressive Feat

The hits just keep on coming. Love him or hate him, John Cena is one of the biggest stars in wrestling history and the biggest star of the last fifteen years. He’s done it all in wrestling and while it seems that his career is winding down and he’s moving on to something a little more mainstream, he’s still a huge success. Now it’s just in a field other than the ring.

Cena recently released a children’s book entitled Elbow Grease about a young monster truck. As of Wednesday, the book is a New York Times #1 bestseller. This is Cena’s first book and puts him in an elite group of wrestlers with a book to make the list, a feat first accomplished by Mick Foley. Cena tweeted about the accomplishment and has changed his Twitter bio to highlight the accomplishment:

A truly surreal moment….#ElbowGrease is a @nytimes #1 Best Seller! Thank you to everyone who made this a reality. Incredibly proud of this story and what it means for audiences of ALL ages and absolutely thrilled to be able to share it. pic.twitter.com/ppZseixf9B

He still has time for the fans.

Opinion: I know it’s just a children’s picture book, but this is something that very few people can say they’ve accomplished. It’s also a sign of how much Cena can connect with younger fans. How many kids or parents saw Cena’s name on the book and bought it immediately? That’s a very important status to have and something that has made Cena incredibly valuable to WWE over the years.
