Confused that this isn't getting more attention, it's great. John Cena is a national treasure.

There are massive sound archives for pretty much everything possible, both licensed and royalty-free. Doing your own foley is complicated and expensive, especially if it's just stuff like doors and footsteps, and gunfire and explosions are notoriously hard to record in any accurate way because they're so loud that the pressure wave has partially passed before the microphone diaphgram has struck the back to record the sound. The famous bank robbery in Heat was filmed like this, and miraculously caught accurate sound, and everyone had to shout their dialogue over it.

So unless necessary or demanded by the creator, especially with the low budget of TV, most sound departments just take a file library and make edits as necessary. Pitch, reverb, mixing with other files, etc.

You have no conception of how incredibly loud a gun going off inside the cab of a vehicle is until you've heard it. Firing an automatic inside would be insane, it hurts just watching that part.

Except maybe the Taiwan denial but that was so obviously a business move.

Yeah that was hosed but you also don't expect a beefcake wrestler like him to speak fluent Mandarin, be really good at playing the piano, and have his acting chops. Dude is awesome and he's definitely got a Rock-like career ahead of him.
