John Cena is one of the most well known wrestlers of all time, and over the years fans have cracked quite a few jokes about his jorts.
Cena’s jorts have become familiar to millions, and during a recent appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden he explained why he chose to wear jorts in the first place.
“If you look at my other options, it’s just underwear. So I wanted to do some sort of street clothes because my persona was a tough, wannabe rapper kid from the mean street of West Newbury. Tough to do that in your underwear, tough to do that. So I also wore sneakers while most guys wear calf-high or knee-high leather boots.”
Cena also pointed out that for a while he tried to switch things up and wear cargo shorts, but eventually he realized that the cargo shorts presented a big problem for him.
“So I’m pretty much in street clothes, and I chose denim because you don’t blow the crotch out of denim. I tried cargo pants and in front of the world a few times – here I am trying to put my life on the line with a superstar that I’m trying to have a match with and everybody’s just looking at my d–k. So, denim is a safe play. And they’re back in, so I kind of stood the test of time!”
At this point it’s not clear when John Cena will be returning to the ring, but it’s been rumored that he wants a significant role at WrestleMania 36.
