WWE Superstar John Cena Grants Milestone 200th Wish with Make-A-Wish Foundation®

 

Cena reached the 200th wish milestone in just six years, joining NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. and former WWE Superstar Hulk Hogan as celebrity wish granters who have fulfilled 200 wishes. Overall, World Wrestling Entertainment has granted more than 3,500 wishes with the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the past 25 years.

 

200 wishes in 6 years works out to about 1 wish every 11 days.

 

And those wrestlers work 340 days out of the year. Anyone taking her side in this argument should be ashamed of them selves. She denied this kid a few hours of her time TWICE, and her publicist gives us that drivel as a response. How much more story do you all really need? I love cooking and enjoy her program, but I am through with it now.

Yeah...because the kid's entitled to have his demands met.

No, he's not entitled to anything. But Garten is also not entitled to escape public scorn and ridicule, and possible financial repercussions.

 

And really, what would it have "cost" her? She easily could have made a show out of it.

For all of you coming down hard on her. Unless you have given money here and to every charity that has come across your desk I suggest you STFU!

 

I donate to a few charities I hold near and dear. St Judes being a major one. Does that give me the right to blast her? Nope. It is not the fact that she is a chef, she could have been an athlete (with a terrible 40) a singer, or actress. It doesn't change the fact that she shot this kids wish down twice because she had to promote her book. I am guessing she isn't hurting for dough since she lives in the fkn Hampton's and cooks for her effeminate husband. I am blasting her for being a POS human being and now doing an unbelievable back pedal to save her ass.

 

and DC Tom, in my opinion the kid is entitled. Hes not some spoiled rich kid looking to meet someone. He was given a wish to make under his unfortunate health circumstances. What was he supposed to ask for a slice of pizza? His request was realistic and pretty amazing if you ask me. Most kids would want to meet some half hearted athlete or celeb. This kid watched her everyday when he was recovering and maybe seeing her brought a good feeling to him that he wanted to replicate.

Ive been on the fence about this, understanding both sides, trying not to hate her too quickly based on a snap judgment and that she "is fat"...

 

But you're right. I gotta agree, it was a ****ty thing to do from the beginning. Especially after seeing the number of wishes other celebrities have granted.

 

Im still not going to "hate" on her, because I frankly couldnt care less about her, but it was definitely a huge mistake on her part.

The kid is entitled? You're !@#$ing kidding me. Because she's someone you've heard of before she is required to grant his wish? I'm sending over my autistic nephew to spend a day with you because he's entitled and I've heard of you before on this board. Give me a !@#$ing break.

I believe he is entitled. Please, I have seen adults with such a sense of entitlement an over inflated sense of self importance in this world that it makes me sick. The kids wish that was given to him from the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION, its not like his mommy said to make a wish and we will grant it. It is a whole organization that has done this for years.

 

I would be honored if a sick kids wish was to meet a nobody like myself. That is where a lot of us differ in life. I am guessing she isn't flooded with requests other than a 100k a plate dinner to save every ones mercedes parking in the Hamptons.

I had melanoma - Class 2. Did it give me the entitlement to request 50 yard line seats for a Super Bowl? Round of golf with Phil? No!! What it makes me "entitled" to do is get out there and support research efforts to find a reason and a cure. Kid isn't entitled to anything. Through MAW kid is able to make a request.

I am sorry for your plight Bud and am happy you recovered. But this is a child with a rare un curable disease. Not to make light of your or any one elses situation.

 

And 50 yard line seats to the SB compared to meeting a 2nd rate tv personality. Cmon guys....
