Happy Birthday John!!

I know it's not fashionable or trendy to be a fan of this guy. I know that he's almost universally derided by everyone over the age of 13. I know that fandom isn't much kinder to him than the straight up wrestling fans are, but I don't care. He has an infectious smile, more energy in a day than I'll have in a lifetime and a dedication to what he does that I can't fathom when it takes him away from home and his family for so much of the year. He just wants to make people smile and have a good time from the sickest of children to the most cynical guys in the audience.

Yeah, his gimmick is old hat, his jokes aren't always funny, his merch is eyebleeding - the list could go on. Despite all that I'm completely under his spell. I love this guy to pieces and suspect I always will. Have a great one, JC xx

From his twitter it looks like he did and I'm glad about that, even if he was working his ass off as per usual.

Like you I'm not interested in just liking whoever the IWC or the rabid fangirls have as their flavour of the day. John will do just fine for me :)

I saw his tweets and one of the crowds sung to him which is good.

Yep I agree I hate the rabids who have flavor of the day. I like John since way back when he use to do 5 questions with champ. I just loved those.
