Earlier, while talking about his involvement with the foundation, Cena had told Reuters, “If you ever need me for this ever, I don’t care what I’m doing, I will drop what I’m doing and be involved because I think that’s the coolest thing." He added, “If I can offer a fantastic experience, I’ll be first in line to do my part."
In 2012, Cena granted Make-A-Wish’s 1000th wish to a fan named Cardon. He is loved by the kids and after receiving the opportunity to meet Cena, children often take photos and hang out with him and sometimes even venture inside the ring ropes to get a real life experience of wrestling with their favorite wrestler.
As soon as the Guinness World Records shared the news, John Cena’s fans instantly heaped praises for him. Here’s a look at a few of them:

Cena got to know about Misha’s wish of meeting him from a Wall Street Journal report and then went to meet him.
