Post Fruity Pebbles Teams Up With WWE Superstar John Cena
Raising Awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Anti-Bullying initiative 'be a STAR'
PARSIPANNY, N.J., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Post Fruity Pebbles and WWE Superstar John Cena are teaming up for a new partnership, which includes a collectable cereal box and an instant-win promotion awarding a VIP meet-and-greet with the talent.
Cena's passion charity, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, for which he has granted over 250 wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions, and 'be a STAR,' the anti-bullying alliance co-founded by WWE and The Creative Coalition, are prominently displayed on newly-designed Fruity Pebbles cereal boxes featured nationwide January through March.
"It is truly an honor to team up with Post Fruity Pebbles. After all, who doesn't dream of being on a cereal box one day?" said WWE Superstar John Cena. "I am proud that the partnership also spreads awareness about the life-changing wishes granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and 'be a STAR's' anti-bullying message of showing tolerance and respect."
"We are thrilled to support John Cena's work in and out of the ring for children with life-threatening medical conditions and those who are being bullied," said Michael Krishnan, Senior Brand Manager at Post Foods. "We hope Fruity Pebbles' partnership with this popular WWE superstar will raise awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and 'be a STAR'."
The on-pack instant win grand prize winners will each receive a VIP meet-and-greet with Cena, priority seating and transportation to a WWE live event, and an autographed "Rise Above Hate" T-shirt, in support of the 'be a STAR' anti-bullying message. First prize winners will receive an autographed version of the exclusive T-shirt. The second prize winners will receive the exclusive T-shirt. To enter, look inside the specially marked boxes featuring Cena for a special code to submit on www.PebblesPlay.com/Cena .
The partnership stems from the onscreen and social media rivalry between Cena and WrestleMania XXVIII opponent Dwayne "The Rock®" Johnson, who compared Cena's brightly colored wardrobe to a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Cena embraced the new nickname saying he is "Yabba, Dabba Delicious."

Dwayne Johnson is a fool:
He just helped John Cena secure ANOTHER endorsement deal!

601,000 viewers on a Saturday morning show that isn't promoted at all is hardly "nobody".

Did Rock get a ten percent finders fee for starting the whole fruity pebbles venture possible? His agent and attorney need to get on this. Gotsta get paid

Yes, because he genuinely hates Cena and someone should only ever do something if it's completely for their OWN gain.

So the Rock insults John Cena and they get an endorsement gig out of it...CM Punk panders endlessly about getting back ice cream bars and gets nothing.
HAHAAHAH

WWE relies way too much on shilling now-feels like we are in the 80's where it's all flash and nothing is substance.
