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

Ruthless aggression ftfw!

I know what you mean about his evolution though - going back as far as the Prototype days is just lolzy now XD To see how he's changed over the years is astonishing, it's real 'boy becoming a man' stuff.

I'm just glad he has the commitment to stick with being who he is. Smart money says that voices like mine and yours make it out of the crowd, over the booing and keep him going. I'm gonna deafen him in November :D
