I didn’t expect to encounter a dust storm to start my day, but here we are. You don’t even have to like John Cena to enjoy this clip. In fact, you don’t even need to know who John Cena is and you’re still going to get choked up.
In this clip, John Cena reads letters from fans who all overcame unimaginable obstacles and they did so thanks to the moving words of John Cena. Unbeknownst to Cena, the fans are actually standing behind a false wall while John reads all of the letters. When he’s done reading the letters, John watches a short clip of a kid thanking John for helping him beat cancer. When that’s over, the fans bust down the wall and surprise John Cena one by one.
He’s crying. They’re crying. Now, you’re crying. I’m not actually crying, it’s just the combination of a dust storm and onions being cut here in my house. These aren’t tears, they’re just my eyes leaking.
This is actually an ad from Cricket Wireless, a company that I didn’t even realize still existed. I haven’t seen them on TV or seen a storefront for Cricket Wireless in years. I guess they’ve been ascribing to the ‘John Cena You Can’t See Me’ style of publicity until now. Or perhaps I just don’t live in a part of the country where Cricket Wireless is a player on the wireless scene. Whatever the case is, I’m glad to see Cricket making moves with this John Cena clip.
