Yesterday, John Cena was a guest on the Bill Simmons Podcast. They discussed a number of topics and one of the topics was Cena’s retirement and not going out on his own terms.
Below is what Cena had to say about not going out on his own terms:
“This is something I’ve heard a lot this past year, ‘man you’re going out on your own terms.’ That’s bullshit. I want to do it forever. Like to anyone out there who doesn’t understand what WWE is or what just go live. I want to let everybody out there knowing, you know, like um when you step in that building live, it’s just a different energy. And I never want to let that go.
But um my body hurts. I’m a step slower. I promised myself and the fan base like when I started before I won that first championship, when I’m a step slower, I’m out. It’s all I have left. That’s what people don’t understand. And I want to go out at a level that is still passable and and in in some twinkles admirable and not have to rely on luck. You know, I I got one date left. I have given my heart and soul to this year. It has taken a lot to just do 35 dates whereas before I do 220 in my sleep. Like it is time to move on.”
