The following are highlights of a new Miami Herald interview with John Cena:
John Cena on new talents having the chance to step up: “This is their moment. They have to do their best to capture it…It’s been interesting to see the change in the business and how we recruit talent. The money and resources WWE has put forth with the Performance Center shows they are absolutely serious about finding talent, recruiting them and making them the best they can be. This way when they are called up to appear on ‘Monday Night Raw,’ they are ready to go.”
Cena on a possible match against Hogan: “I do what I love, so when you wake up everyday, it’s not a job… A dream opponent for me would be Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan and Sting. I’m not sure if I could ever get in the ring with any of them, but you have heard Hogan say in the past, if he had one last match, he would want it to be against me. I say as a Hulk-a-Maniac growing up that would be the biggest honor I’ve ever received.”
Cena on his love for the 8-bit generation of video games: “I have a sweet spot for the 8-bit generation athlete. It kind of got a little too complicated for me around the tail end of the PlayStation 2 when you have a million buttons. I’m a D-pad, A and B guy. Genesis was also cool…I had, believe it or not, the old ‘Wrestling Challenge’ stand-up [arcade game]. I loved ‘Nintendo Pro Wrestling’ and played the hell out of ‘Tag Team Wrestling’, which was a horrible game where the Ricky Fighters always fought the masked superstars a hundred million times. I loved it. The WWE games were okay, but I thought for an 8-bit standpoint that Nintendo did it best.”
Cena on the new game: “It’s so much different. It just goes to show how far games have come. Even the differences between last year and this year, 2K has really stepped it up. This is the best effort ever for the video game series.”
