$34.95 three-DVD set

Until he was stripped of the World Wrestling Entertainment title due to injury this past October, John Cena had the longest championship reign since the immortal Hulk Hogan in the 1980s. This biography, which includes interviews from friends and family (but curiously not Cena himself), perfectly demonstrates what makes Cena connect with the common man and makes it hard for even non-fans to not admire him.

This set covers his music career and features some outstanding matches, including a 2006 title defense against ECW's Rob Van Dam; an “I Quit” match with JBL; and the tables, ladders and chairs match with Edge that kicked off his most-recent title reign. The DVDs also include Cena showing off his collection of classic cars (with a fair amount of expertise), and his “Five Questions” Internet sessions.
