My Favorite WWE Superstars: #6

My 6th favorite WWE superstar is John Cena. He is probably the most popular current WWE wrestler. In college, he was a division 3 football All-American center. In 2002, after a few years of independent wrestling, John made his WWE debut. Kurt Angle gave an open challenge for a match to everyone in the locker room. John Cena came out, and made his debut. He is also an actor. He was in the popular Fred movies as Fred's imaginary dad. Along with being a popular wrestler and actor, he is a great person. He does a lot of charity work, mostly for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

  • Ultimate Pro Wrestling
    • UPW Heavyweight Championship (1 time)[24]
  • 1 ^ Cena did not accept the 2012 award, opting to award it to presenter Ric Flair instead.

    Favorites: Sports

    Yesterday I wrote about my favorite books. Today I'm going to be writing about my favorite thing to do, playing sports! I am going to be writing about my top three favorite sports. We play them in the U.S.A, but you might play them in your country! Now, let's get to my favorite sports. I'm going to start at three and go to one this time!

    A tennis ball!

    3. My third favorite sport is called tennis. In tennis you hit the ball to the other side of the court. It needs to go over the net to be on the other side. If it bounces two or more times on their side, you get a point. In the last school year, my sister started taking tennis lessons. At first I thought it was boring, but then I tried it and really liked it. I took lessons until the end of the school year and started playing with my family in our community about once a month.

    A New York Giants football!

    2. My second favorite sport is called football. In most countries, football is when you kick a ball with your feet into a goal. That is called soccer for us. In football you try to pass or run the ball into the endzone. If you get it into the endzone it is a touchdown which is worth 6 points. You need to kick the ball between the two posts to get the seventh point. If you make a field goal it is worth 3 points. I played flag football last year. My parents didn't want me to play anymore because I got hit in the stomach a lot. Also, my tooth went into someone on my team's head. (But my tooth just got wigglier. It didn't fall out!)

    A basketball!

    1. My favorite sport is called basketball. In basketball the goal is to dribble up the court and score. If you are inside the three-point line it is worth two points. If you are behind it is worth three points. A free-throw is worth one point. The team with the most points wins. I started playing when I was five. I didn't get a single point all season! I didn't play again until I was seven. My next season I got six points. At least it is better then no points. In my third season, I got 8 points in my first game. I averaged 10 rebounds per game. In my most recent season, I did amazing. In one game I got 16 points and 17 rebounds. In my last game I got 16 points and about 11 rebounds. Those are called double-doubles. I got two in one season! That was an amazing season!

    What are your three favorite sports in order? How do you play them?

    Have you played any of these sports? Which ones?
