Thought your readers would like to know about John Cena’s appearance at a Philadelphia retail “Mitchell & Ness” store on Tuesday, July 19. At least 500 people were waiting in line when 12 noon was fast approaching. About 11:50am, John Cena decides to meet and greet his fans in line instead of sneaking in the back door. He simply got out of his vehicle and simply walked down the street like he was a regular guy, no entourage, no security, nothing. He even hugged some of the fans. The store started taking fans inside at 12 noon. A very orderly line got autographs and pictures from him. My two boys were ecstatic to see him, getting his autograph on his CD and then posing for pictures with them. He even let them spin the belt a little bit. My son said it was the best day of his summer. John Cena took the time to meet and greet his fans, as well as socialize with them. He is the real deal and it is ashame that others are not like him.
