Online fans have been very critical about John Cena’s booking across his retirement tour, and things have change into so dire that many wrestling veterans with podcast point the fan criticism out. Nonetheless, in his interview with Bill Simmons, Cena as an alternative took a surprising posture when it got here to the problems people have together with his booking, specifically whether he needs to be a heel or a babyface.
“It is not my selection to go on the market and play a superb guy or bad guy; that is above me, that is a level above me,” he interestingly stated. “I do not view it as my selection. I don’t need the stress of that; I’ve never done this.” Cena emphasized that he never picks opponents, curates his storylines, or steps as much as Creative to inform them that the gang is reacting to him a certain way and that he needs to be turned.
“In my perspective: a professional takes the tools that you just’re -or takes the subject material that you just’re given – and tries to make it something special,” he explained. “Whether I trust [Creative] or not, it’s their selection to make. So, they are saying, ‘Be a superb guy,’ okay, no problem. In my mind, that is what I feel a superb guy is, and that is how I feel a superb guy would act. ‘Is that this okay?’ ‘Yeah, sure.’ But that is the difference.”
John Cena doesn’t find fault in other wrestlers trying to manage their Creative as an alternative
While his opinions concerning the way he steps into wrestling are his own, John Cena did admit that he sees many wrestlers who attempt to take their characters and portrayals into their very own hands, and gave his tackle their efforts as well.
“I do see loads of performers spend their time, invest their time, to attempt to curate their very own destiny – and again, not fallacious – it’s… The wrestling [industry] is a ‘chicken soup business’: there isn’t any fallacious technique to do it,” he noted. “I just all the time desired to know what you would like, the final result you would like, the piece within the chessboard I can play, and may I do it my way?” Cena further emphasized that the one time he would ever inject could be if he could get the possibility to do it his way.
Either way, Cena’s profession will officially come to an end this weekend on the 13th of December when he faces GUNTHER within the upcoming Saturday Night’s Most important Event. Whether or not he bests the ‘Ring General’ will probably be seen this weekend, but based on what Cena claimed, since it’ll be his final match, the tip result will likely be his way regardless.
