Since our son was born, I’ve had this conversation with a
few Cambodian men:
Man: What’s your son’s name?
Me: Jonah
Man: Oh, like “Jon-Si-Naa”
Me: Who is “Jon-Si-Naa”?
Man: You don’t know who “Jon-Si-Naa” is? He is from the United States.
Me: What does he do?
Man: He is a
wrestler.
Somewhere in one of those conversations, WWF came up, so I
got curious and did a little internet research.
I discovered that there is a WWF wrestler named John Cena. Here is a picture:
Apparently there is a media scandal going around that
John Cena died, but don’t worry it isn’t true.
He’s still alive.
Also, technically he
is a WWE wrestler as the name was changed from World Wrestling Federation to
World Wrestling Entertainment. But I
will be honest, I haven’t thought much about professional wrestling since I used
to watch the Hulk Hogan cartoon on Saturday mornings, so I still think of it as
WWF.
It’s amazing what I learn about American culture by living
overseas.
