5. Cena as Sammy Knox

John Cena played a few quirky roles on “SNL.” One saw him look like Fabio with the open shirt and long hair. Another saw him with an owl getting sprayed in the last skit, something that wasn’t the funniest thing the show put on during the 90 minutes.

In this unusual segment that somewhat worked, Cena played the role of a judoka, or more like the Karate Kid’s new foe, who outsized and outmuscled his scrawnier opponent. The guy would try to get talked up by his coach, but every time it seemed that he would get some offense in, Cena, who acted like a “dork” (he called his opponent a dork) punched him through multiple walls. When the guy would try getting up, Cena sent him through the walls once again.

Besides this, the Leader of the Cenation would mock the kid by calling him a “virgin” for taking karate, and used a voice to make him sound like a kid. It come off like a tough guy, though, which at least didn’t seem like the intention. So, he pretty much had a big body and a wimpy voice.
