You Can't See Chris Pronger (or Peter Laviolette)

Now playing enforcer, #54...

While he wasn't blatantly showing fans that it's okay to hop the rail and attack random WWE wrestlers or in the back flaunting his "fired" stipulation, John Cena was hanging out with hockey nobility in this town, Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette and star defenseman and noted tough guy Chris Pronger, who were both in attendance last night. They presented him with a Flyers jersey, which I think is way cooler than his other orange shirt. But then again, I'm an unabashed homer for my Flyers, so yeah.

Since Cena is technically fired, I wonder if he'd like to play in the NHL for awhile. The Flyers do need some help on the blue line, and I'm sure Sidney Crosby will think twice about slew-footing him lest he get an Attitude Adjustment. Hell, now I want to see him on the Flyers because who wouldn't want to see Crosby or Alexander Ovechkin or *insert NHL player here* tap out to the STF? I know I would.

Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!

  1. I think you underestimate the common sense of wrestling fans and are starting to sound like reverend lovejoy's wife. first with the abyss situation and now with cena and fans wanting to jump the rail and get involved. i haven't been to a wrestling show in a long time, but i remember before the show starting they'd always warn the crowd that if they tried to get involved they would be arrested.

    granted once every great while, some dumb drunk will do it much to the entertainment of everyone else there, but to think something like john cena hopping the rail to attack nexus will cause a slew of copycat fans doing the same is a little overly overboard.

    hell when WCW was at its peak, sting would come in from the crowd weekly(and one time with 20+ fake stings) and I don't remember any major backlash of fans trying to reenact the situation.
