John Cena explained his affinity for jorts.
After a short stint wearing trunks in his early WWE days, John Cena became iconic for wearing a t-shirt and shorts to the ring. Speaking in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Cena opened up about his choice of shorts, praising denim as a durable fabric and explaining the importance of a drawstring.
“The reason I wear jorts is because I’ve tried everything. Denim is really durable—it doesn’t rip a lot as long as you can find a good fit. I don’t need any families attending a WWE event looking at my ugly bit.
All you need to do is find something that fits around the butt and the thigh, because I always wear a drawstring belt. A belt buckle, you can really get messed up on. I’ve learned this through failure. It can stab you, it can scratch you, it can scrape you and it can also cause damage to opponents and referees. This is not a good piece of equipment.”
In a 2017 Q&A, John Cena explained the benefits of cargo shorts.
When Will John Cena Retire From WWE?
