John Cena has pretty much done it all in his career. He’s been a 16-time world champion, a movie star, gotten slimed countless times … he’s even been both a talking bull AND a talking elephant. And probably his bucket list accomplishment: making Rob Schneider feel bad about himself. But he may perhaps forever best be known to the world at large for being the wrestler that had a hit rap album. No, not Macho Man. The other album.
Cena’s days as a full-time (cough) active wrestler may be numbered, but it’s clear he’s having the most fun possible in WWE while he still can. To wit, you may remember via Total Divas and international business ventures that Cena has spent the past couple years teaching himself to be at least semi-fluent in Mandarin. When you’re on buses and planes every day of your life, why NOT learn a new language?
Cena has taken that skill and applied it to his original skill set: “freestyle” rap. He busted out some rhymes in Mandarin for Twitter and then for the internet at large, and you may not be surprised to learn that Cena’s flow remains the same, no matter the language.
It may just be basic thuganomics, but it’s still a lot better than I can do! Sadly, no one has produced his lyrics or a translation as of yet, but I’m sure it’ll get here eventually. Let’s just go ahead and assume it has something to do with three-second tans and not seeing him and whatnot. The usual things.
Bonus triple action points to Cena for making the lines rhyme in Mandarin, instead of just doing a literal translation of one of his old raps. Now let’s get a full Mandarin remix of “Bad Bad Man” please.
