Jim Ross said John Cena never said no to anything. He would work hard every day of the week and would give everything he had. "His record for Make-A-Wishes, granting wishes for terminally ill children, nobody is even close." Jim Ross said John Cena was the kind of guy who would never turn anything down, even when he became an A-list superstar. Jim Ross said some people would give John Cena extra work because they knew Cena would not refuse.
