Hustle. Loyalty. Respect. And at least on two occasions, poop. But for John Cena, ever the overachiever, one of these times wasn’t just any old poop, and not even any old poop in the middle of a wrestling match. This was poop and puke all at once.

While appearing on “Total Divas” in 2013, he admitted to soiling himself in a match in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. “I pooped myself once,” Cena said. “I had to throw my pants away. I had food poisoning, and I still went out to wrestle. Everybody knew. I was embarrassed.”

In 2008, however, Cena had already fessed up to something far more impressive elsewhere in Canada. “I was in Winnipeg,” he told WWE Magazine (via Inside the Ropes). “I was wrestling Scott Steiner with Bull Buchanan as my lackey. I got food poisoning and thought I wouldn’t be able to wrestle, but I went out there anyway.” Now this might not be the right time to cite “intestinal fortitude,” but we’ll give Cena kudos for having the guts to … never mind.

After taking a DDT, Cena rolled out of the ring, feeling sick, and locked eyes with the timekeeper, to whom he asked, “Where do I puke?” After being told to do so under the ring, he followed suit, upchucked as promised, but simultaneously got a surprise from the other end. “As I was puking, I crapped my pants. Luckily, it was at the end of the match, but nothing has ever topped that since.”
