John Cena appeared on Neil Cavuto's morning show on FOX Business today, and discussed a number of topics including his new clothing line, and the value of the John Cena brand. The following are interview quotes:

On his new K-Mart clothing line for kids:

"Essentially, the message of the clothing is to empower you through a positive messageI think that's why we were able to leverage our brand (WWE), my brand especially with Kmart, because it wasn't just a typical sponsor deal. A lot of athletes get a sponsorship – 'here's your upfront money, we're going to use your likeness.' I wanted to hold on to my asset, do it correctly, and create an inspirational line. So, it's not a 'wrestling-driven' line. The line is called 'Never Give Up,' and truly my character on WWE plays one of aspiration, inspiration, and motivation. I try to defy all odds and do what I can to do the right thing."

"Kmart picked up on this concept. And, from a branding standpoint, I just didn't outright leverage myself; I wanted a piece and equity in the brand. So, there was upfront money, plus equity in the brand."

Cena added that his character generates approximately $100 million in revenue for WWE per year.

Cena makes me want to have kids so I can buy his merchandise and encourage them to look up to him.

Do the right thing? Was that before or after using a cancer family to defend your political positioning in a promo with Brian Danielson? Hmmm

The McMahons don't even make $30 million in profit a year...he damn sure isn't putting up $100 mili in bluff money when he's pushed behind acts like Lesnar and sign ons like the Rock.

If Cena was anywhere near that huge in wrestling, he would be the absolute main event of every single Mania instead of being used as asset for a 3 year Rock return plan. lol.
