ReutersThe line between pro football and pro wrestling will further be blurred on Sunday.
That’s when WWE star John Cena serves as the honorary captain of the Jets before Sunday’s game against the Colts, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.
As Mehta points out, Cena is actually a Massachusetts native and a Patriots fan.
The Jets likely were willing to ignore that fact given that MetLife Stadium will be hosting WrestleMania in April.
Jets fans may not be quite as understanding.
The bigger question is whether the Jets’ final pre-election home game will feature former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney as the honorary captain.

Just… I can’t… even……….
Sigh.
The Jets owner has proven time and time again what his priorities are.
Let’s go Cena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cena with Mitt romney..no longer a Cena fan or supporter..wow
Johnson is rapidly approaching Ross as the premier joke owner of the NFL.
Thank you… Just another reason to HATE the Jets
Yeah, but they’re not a circus. Right, Rex?
New Jets QB?
btw…Ross is better owner then Miami had before, at least he’s willing to spend money.
Glad its not a circus in jet-land. Wait…
There’s no real Pats fan in the universe who would be an honorary or any other type of captain for the NYJ. This guy’s a dog faker.
The circus is truly coming to town.
You really should put “” around “wrestler”. There’s nothing wrestling about the WWE.
Say what you will about Cena and the WWE, but they are one of the biggest contributors to the Make A Wish program, particularly Cena himself, and an enormous supporter of the US military. Every WWE event has a good amount of active military members in attendance, as well as…you guessed it…NFL/MLB/NHL/NBA athletes.
But they’re not a circus…
He’s a better QB than Sanchez and Tebow….
Typical Jerry Jones type…wait the Jets? Yeah, I can see that…
@packfaninvikeland… As much as it pains me to agree with a packet fan. Yup
PT Barnum would be proud.
GO COLTS!
How about concentrating on winning some games. This franchise is a complete joke. Pitiful
who?
how about finding an honorary g.m.
“Johnson is rapidly approaching Ross as the premier joke owner of the NFL.”
When did Jerry Jones lose that title?
Romney already holds the honorary captain title… for Mattel’s Etcha-Scetch.
Ssssssquirrel kicker!!
I’ve always thought that there was a little Captain Lou Albano in Rex Ryan….Now if the Jets could only sign George “The Animal” Steele, they could make some noise.
i will die laughing if the Jets fans boo him and then cheer for the equally clean-cut and goody two shoes Tebow.
Trade for Favre, trade up for Sanchez, trade for Santonio, trade for Tebow, and hire Sparano = The Jets Five Moves of Doom
J just
E end
T their
S season
But they’re not a circus.
What, the Brooklyn Brawler was busy??
You have to respect where Woody is coming from. It’s just SO unfair to him to pay as much in taxes as he did eight years ago when he has worked so HARD to inherit every penny he has.
can Cena run the wildcat???
And the circus continues……
Just a reminder
Pro Football = entertainment
Pro Wrestling = entertainment
and everyone is out to make a buck.
Go Jets!
Hahahahahahahahah, oh man!! Too funny!
Jets name a WWF wrestler as “Honorary Captain”, but don’t want to be called a circus ……..
Right.
And now, under the Big Top we have… (enter the clowns)
Is this a veiled attempt to suggest that nfl results are predetermined ?
I hope he puts Woody in a headlock and keeps him there until he agrees to sell the team. Then he should tell Dolan he’s next.
your kidding me right?
I love that PFT let Jets fans know Cena roots for the Pats. Give him. WARM New York welcome Sunday and an 80,000 finger salute.
Even before this post, I had a hard time telling the difference between Johnson and Ross.
Now I know, they are the same person. Have you ever seen them in the same room at the same time?
How appropriate…rasslin coming to the circus
Classic ! A Patriots fan as the Jets honorary Captain.
There will be 68000 + more to choose from next week in Foxborough
You can’t see me!!!!
Yeah but can he throw a slant?
I think the Jets should buy a bunch of those tiny cars that they pack the clowns into at the circus, stuff all of the players in them and then drive them out on the field so the fans can laugh and laugh as player after player comes tumbling out at midfield.
“How did they get all of those players into those tiny cars?”, they will all say in joy and wonderment.
And then they can shoot Tim Tebow out of a cannon and have him land on top of Mark Sanchez.
So a backup quarter back, a professional wrestler and a republican walk into a bar….
This is largely due to the fact that the Ultimate Warrior turned them down….
Bobo the clown not available? I honestly do feel bad for you Jets fans, you are just innocent bystanders in all of this stuff.
So, I guess the dolphins don’t have it as bad as I thought. Thank you Woody. I feel better already.
It makes no sense; he’s a fan of their most hated rival.
There’s gotta be other NYrs to choose from; Anthony Weiner’s not doing anything. Bernie Madoff, anyone?
