John Cena reveals why he wears jorts.
For the majority of his incredible WWE career, John Cena has made jorts his signature look. Wearing jean shorts in a WWE ring was a bold choice, and fans have often wondered what prompted the decision.
Speaking with Lane Florsheim of The Wall Street Journal, John Cena was asked to share the story behind his “proclivity” for wearing jorts when he wrestles.
“The reason I wear jorts is because I’ve tried everything,” John Cena said. “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.”
