WWE star John Cena will wear pink gear beginning tonight and throughout the month of October in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. "One of the reasons I really wanted to do something with Susan G. Komen is because of my brother,” said Cena, 35. “Early detection saved his life.”

"Sean’s doing extremely well,” Cena said of his brother. “It was an inoperable brain tumor, but one of the main reasons he’s done well is the early detection. I know it’s brain cancer and breast cancer, but that key is early detection."

Triple H also commented on working with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. "It’s very exciting for us to be partnered up with Susan G. Komen,” Hunter said. “The WWE and John Cena have such a large female fan base, so it’s important for us to support the people who have supported us for so long."

Powell's POV: I don't care how odd Cena may look to some fans in the pink ring gear (and he looks fine to me based on the photo included with the Boston Herald story), he and WWE are doing a cool thing. NFL players and other athletes also wear pink gear throughout October. Thanks to Dot Net Member Patrick Peralta for passing along the story.
