I'm not making this up…
Saturday, May 16th, 2009
I hit up the local WalMart today to pick up an air mattress, since falling asleep on the floor during iMPACT! this past Thursday left me with a bruised hip and a sore enough back that I couldn’t even close my car door without cringing. What the hell is wrong with this world when Kevin Nash can work matches without hurting himself every week and I can’t even watch TNA’s show without being in pain the next day? Anyways, that’s irrelevant to the story.
So I’m at Wally World, and happened to pass by the sneaker section when I saw something that would probably wind up on WrestleCrap’s “Someone Bought This” section. Instead of jumping straight to my e-mail and sending a message to RD Reynolds, I remembered I had my own sports-entertainment satire site. Anyways, despite the what the guy whose picture is on these shoes says, I could see him. I could see him just fine. The fact remains that when I was a little kid, if there were Hulk Hogan or Ultimate Warrior shoes, I probably would’ve begged my parents for them, so this is actually a brilliant marketing move on the part of World Wrestling Entertainment.
Seriously though, John Cena sneakers (no, there weren’t old school Reebok pumps on them, sadly)?
Seriously - John Cena sneakers!
Complete with WWE logo treads!
If the image quality isn’t all that great, I apologize. I don’t make a habit of bringing my camera with me on trips to the store, so the best I can do is these camera phone shots.
