Watch as some of his fans think they are auditioning for a commercial about the WWE star when suddenly the real John Cena burst through the background, complete with trumpets blaring the theme music.
If you're even tangentially into anime or tokusatsu, then you're probably already familiar with SH Figuarts, the high-end line of action figures from Bandai and Tamashii Nations, but if you're not, let me tell you how much I love them.

The WWE is the leader in wrestling entertainment. It's been the top dog in the industry for years. The wrestlers are big, tough and have well-defined characters. The WWE was in Dallas, Texas, this past Monday for 'Monday Night Raw'.
