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

well said hun!!! and yeah i know its not fashionable to like John but here's the thing - I do!! his dedication to his fans (even the ones who go out of their way to hate him) amazes me and the time and energy he spends working for charities is humbling. So I agree with you Happy Birthday John - and thank you.

I agree with everything this entry says. Chain Gang Loyal since the red trunks and the Angle match!

This has been an amazing ride to see him evolve like he has!

Looks like I`m not fashionable or trendy cause I really love this guy. He just does so much for the wrestling in general that he really shouldn`t get the boos he gets. I really hope he has an amazing birthday.
