Just in case you didn’t know, today is John Cena’s birthday, and he’s turning 40. Cena has always been a company man, and earlier today Vince McMahon took to Twitter to wish him a happy birthday and he also called him the “Babe Ruth of WWE.”
“Hustle Loyalty Respect” is not just an expression, it’s the measure of the man. Happy birthday to the Babe Ruth of WWE, @JohnCena.

Impact Wrestling recently premiered on Spike TV in the UK, and Jeff Jarrett spoke to Burton Mail about what fans can expect from the show going forward.
“Viewers will be able to see a mix of heavyweight, tag team, womens and X Division wrestling when they tune into Impact on Spike. There is really something for everyone. I am aiming to use mine and my family’s 70 years of experience in the industry to try and put on a great show week in and week out. But the most important thing is our fans and making sure they are having fun and enjoying what they are seeing. We will do this by giving top talent an opportunity like we have done in the past with the likes of AJ Styles – now a global superstar – and Bobby Roode. UK fans will be delighted to learn that Brit Magnus is back in the fold – a legend for the fact that he became the first British world heavyweight champion for decades with us. By giving people like Magnus and a raft of other talents the opportunity to shine and put on great matches from bell to bell – we hope to put on a great show for all.”
