John Cena Speaks Mandarin for like 2 minutes in a WWE press-conference

John Cena is a man of many talents. He was a joy to watch in Trainwreck as Amy Schumer's overly sensitive lover and was arguably the best part of the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler trainwreck Sisters (I would follow them both to the ends of this Earth, but that film was painful). Oh, he's a wrestler and a meme, too, I guess.
Two minutes is a long time to be speaking a foreign, notoriously difficult language. And to be doing that at a press conference for the noble cause of promoting your company(?)'s expansion in the Chinese market is brave and admirable!
Why does John Cena know Mandarin? Redditor Fizzay pointed out that the WWE has free language courses for wrestlers, and they can take as many as they want. For an organization run by Vince McMahon, I find this news to be delightfully unexpected. Today I learned that the WWE has some really great benefits. Do they do 401k matching, too?

Staff does, but I'm pretty sure the wrestlers themselves are considered independent contractors. No benefits.

Pretty cool that they offer free language classes for their employees. Wonder how many actually take advantage of it?

Probably very few. The ones that do are probay do it when they have off time because of injury. Their normal schedule is fricking brutal and there is no offseason

Cena has said that he wanted to learn the language so that he could be an asset as the company makes a push in that market.

I'd say most of the wrestlers know a bit of more than one language... they work with so many different nationalities and travel so many different places

Spanish or Japanese maybe. Chinese not so much.

Wonder if Stone Cold would have been Vince's pick in '96...

Some, but I wouldn't say most.
A lot of the Mexican or Japanese wrestlers brought to the US stayed pretty isolated in their cliques.
