Massachusetts Native John Cena Wore KOWLOON Sneakers at Wrestlemania 39 – LOOK!
Two modern Massachusetts legends in wrestling came together at Wrestlemania 39 in Los Angeles: John Cena and Kowloon Restaurant. IYKYK. And if you don’t know:
The Kowloon has long had a storied history with professional wrestling. It has been a post-match stop for wrestlers dating back to the days of Hulk Hogan and The Iron Shiek. It seems musclemen and women can’t get enough of their Saugus Wings and Scorpion Bowls. They even have THIS tribute to some of the wrestling stars who have stopped by after their matches on their website. You’ll also see their autographed pictures throughout the restaurant itself.
One wrestler who truly understands the specialness of the relationship between the wrestlers and the Wongs (who own the Kowloon) is Massachusetts’ own John Cena, who made his return at Wrestlemania in a losing effort against rising star Austin Theory. I didn’t realize while watching that John Cena was wearing some custom Kowloon kicks during his match as a little wink, nod, and respect to the Route 1 staple. Kowloon, however, did notice – and they posted the following proof:

And while we’re talking about pro-wrestlers from Massachusetts… and Massachusetts pride… did you know that THESE professional wrestlers also represent The Bay State?
