Despite being one of the most popular WWE Superstars, John Cena was often used as a meme that helped him gain even more popularity. Here is a list of 10 facts about John Cena, "You can't see me!"

1. He Started Working Out To Fight His Bullies

John Cena has made a career out of his strong physique, but that strength actually started for self-defense as he was very thin and was often bullied at his school. “I was beaten and bullied at school. So instead of learning karate, I think it's better to build muscle," Cena told Men's Journal. When he was 12, he asked for a set of weightlifters for his Christmas present.

He continued to do his fitness training and finally ventured out of his private home gym. "By the time I was 15 and I joined the high school gym, I looked stronger than everyone else there," he said. “Remember, I don't live in a big city. I live in West Newbury, a small town in Massachusetts. To be the strongest man in West Newbury, that is a very mediocre feat." That said, he was named the student with “Best Body” in his school yearbook.

2. Played Football in College

While attending Massachusetts Springfield College, John Cena was a football star in the offensive line. In 1998, as team captain he led his Division III college to its first NCAA postseason game. He is also awarded with the Hewlett-Packard Division III First-Team All-America and the Eastern College Athletic Conference New England/Northeast Division III All-Star. However he told the Men's Journal he was "too small" for a career as a football athlete.

3. He Lived In His Car When Moving To California

After graduating from college, John Cena moved to California to pursue his bodybuilding career. With only $500, his father warned him that he would not last more than two weeks in the demanding California cost of living. But he quickly found work at the Gold's Gym shop in Venice Beach for $6 an hour. "If you're curious about nutrition, protein, or clothing, I'm the guy you can count on," says John Cena.

He did everything he could to make ends meet. “At first, I lived in my Lincoln Continental,” Cena told ESPN. “I fought, and I never gave up. I'm in the gym to be famous, and I really love what I do." Soon after, he started wrestling at the flea market.

4. He Love His Rivalry with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

In the WWE industry that is pitting its players against each other, John Cena's favorite rival is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. "He tends to give the best for everyone," Cena told the Men's Journal. "That's why I admire him so much. Whether I personally like it or not is irrelevant. He gives the best for everyone.”

The most popular moment for the two was when they faced WrestleMania XXVII in 2012. At that time The Rock defeated Cena, but the following year, the two had a rematch when Cena, also known as Cenation, managed to become the winner.

5. He Love Eating Tic Tac to Get Rid of his Nervousness

John Cena has several superstitions to dispel nervousness which he tried and proved true before his match. This includes tapping on wood, as well as shaking the opponent's hand and saying, “Good luck. Be careful. Have fun." But his sweetest superstition is: "I always eat Tic Tac before the game, starting about three hours before the game. I probably consume five boxes of Tic Tac every day before a wrestling show."
