You wouldn't guess this WWE star has a softer side

You wouldn't guess from the video above that WWE star John Cena has a softer side. But, when the wrestler (who can squat 600 LBS!), shared his "greatest story ever told," he showed us that behind all that muscle is a sweetheart.

As part of Entertainment Weekly's video series, celebrities share a glimpse into their personal lives with their "greatest story ever told."

Cena shared the story of his mother, Carol raising him and his brothers, who definitely did not make her life easy. At the very end of the video, he chokes up while telling his mom he loves her.

Watch Cena's inspiring story here:

I love her dearly and I am so very glad to be able to give her back the community she tried so very hard to build many years ago. If you're watching this mom, I love ya.

Like Cena's, some stories are emotional; while others are just hilarious. Take Taylor Kitsch messing up on auditions or Anthony Anderson 'fan-girling' over James Earl Jones. These are some great videos, take a look!
