WWE Senior Vice President Bruce Prichard recently took to an episode of his “Something To Wrestle With” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including what set 16-time World Champion John Cena apart from the rest in the company.
Prichard said, “He was the man — he [had] every aspect of being the man. From waking up, or not even going to sleep, to make the plane to go to ‘Good Morning America’ or ‘The Today Show,’ to flying out — finding a plane on his own — to go and visit a sick kid. That’s not hype, that’s not PR. That’s just John Cena.”
On Cena’s work ethic:
“[He’s] not afraid of hard work, and that’s what made him the man. People talk about being ‘The Guy’ in the company — John Cena was ‘The Guy.’ He did it all and did it with a smile on his face and didn’t refuse. [He] knew, ‘Man, this is the gig. This is my responsibility and I’m going to do it.’”
