AEW star Shelton Benjamin appeared on the “Energis” podcast to discuss various topics, including his belief that John Cena, the Undisputed WWE Champion, is the best promo in wrestling.
Benjamin said, “John Cena’s, to me, the best promo in wrestling. I used Cena because he’s like one of the faces of pro wrestling, but he’s also from my class. … He’s always been a guy…when he talks, he can win over anybody. You put him in any situation, it can be as ridiculous or serious [as possible], and he makes it work.”
On asking Cena his secret about staying so composed:
“He said, ‘I’m a nerd, man. I just sit at home and talk to myself in the mirror,’ and this is what he said in OVW…This is 2001/2002…Later, even Vince McMahon was saying, ‘Why don’t you talk to yourself in the mirror?’”
