John Cena Answers Wrestling Questions From Twitter

Hello, I'm John Cena, doing my best Lance Russell

and welcome to wrestling support.

(upbeat music)

@ccox3484, interesting.

Would love to hit someone over the head with a folding chair

like they do in wrestling matches.

How does this person always end up being okay?

That's a fair question, here's the honest answer.

The people aren't okay.

It is a steel folding chair, and you get hit with it.

It hurts, like a swarm of killer bees

devouring your soul.

It hurts.

When you think we get up and we're okay,

we're not.

Bruises, breaks, tears.

We are trained professionals,

and this is our job to actually do this.

I don't know why anyone would want to do it

for recreation, so leave that stuff to us.

Next, @LBibbs_93.

I wonder if John Cena still owns this costume.

I never owned that costume.

I didn't own the wig, I didn't own the gold chain,

I didn't own the jacket, it was lovely.

I wish I had, because I would walk around

most of my days with this.

I think this is one of the most attractive photos of me

ever taken.

Whoever does own this costume, if you are

in the business of renting it,

I have some money, and I may want to,

may want to rent it.

For private or public time.

Phranchise, creatively spelled with a Ph 19,

who currently is the best wrestler in the world?

Well, we're in the business of accomplishment

and championships are the height of that accomplishment,

so right now I would say a combination

of Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair,

Brock Lesnar, and AJ Styles.

Those are our four top-tier champions.

They are the four best in the world.

@get2befit, John Cena, with exclamation point,

what is a revenge tour like?

I've never heard of it before.

I did see it on the WWE website

and LiveTour (what's that)?

God bless.

So after a big event, where you have

a very important match, there are winners,

and there are losers, but we never stop.

Our, we have our Super Bowl on Sunday,

and we don't take an off-season.

We have television the next day.

So then we go out on tour and call it a revenge tour.

Which if you were a loser in that important match,

it's kind of like you get another chance

with not as many people watching.

@hanwong, my roommate and I drew you,

do you like it?

Please respond.

I do like it.

The proportions are realistic,

the shape of the skull and the attitude,

there's a smile on my face in both occasions,

that's also realistic, and it seems as if

I have a mason jar in my pants on one of them?

So I frequently walk around with a mason jar in my pants,

and they were very realistic to that as well.

@mleehearron, why the dudes on wrestling

have no body hair?

It's so weird.

They are so shiny and smooth.

Yeah, it's a turn off.

Too metrosexual.

Well, the laws of attraction are different for everyone.

Technically, there is a reason for no body hair.

If you have long leg or arm hair,

someone can grab it.

Now picture someone grabbing your hair,

which is why I keep my six dollar fade

the way it is.

That shit hurts.

And, if you're covered in oil,

people can't grab you, which is why guys

tend to wear small outfits as well.

Now, you can be as judgemental as you want,

but when you're in the thick of it,

and someone is trying to break you in half,

you want to have every single advantage you can.

I have found an advantage in '90s fashion,

and I don't use oil, but I do manscape

from the eyebrows down.

I wear jean shorts, just because

people are scared by the very presence

of a grown man wearing something from the '90s.

Veloxiraptor,

How do WWE wrestlers even get hired?

Do they have to show up in costume

and give their audition directly to Vinny Mac?

That would be Vince McMahon.

People have different paths.

How was I hired?

I was sought out by WWE recruiters.

I was wrestling in small-town flea markets

and outdoor bar-b-ques in front of minimal people

and was seen, and someone said,

Hey, would you like a chance at wrestling

in front of larger crowds?

To which I said, Absolutely!

But for different folks they have different paths,

you have people like Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey

that have been successful in other ventures

and have found their way to WWE.

So it's different for everybody.

Has there ever been an audition

where people show up in costume

and talk directly to the owner of the company?

Absolutely.

@TJHunter90, what age is appropriate

to use your son to practice WWE moves?

#srs.

If you have a son, and you are thinking

of using him to practice your WWE moves,

I would suggest leaning more towards counseling,

as a parent, instead of asking me that question.

@f80fries, how do wrestlers come up

with their wrestling names?

For example, Seth Rollins.

You would think that that's his real name,

but it's not.

My process was very complex.

You see, the name John Cena is not my real name.

My name is Dick Hammerbush,

and it's a very difficult government name to use

because of the connotation it provides.

So in thinking of a fake name,

they thought up John Cena,

simply eight characters, two syllables,

throw some trumpets behind it,

and it just works.

Why don't I use Dick Hammerbush?

'cause that is just not who I am.

I'm John Cena.

@Blue_MD, what's it like in a cage match?

It's like trying to escape a cage.

Or win a match.

At the same time.

@tfchooligan69, (chuckles)

I prefer tfchooligan68oweyouone,

when one is training to become a wrestler,

how beneficial would it be to you,

as a wrestler, to also study a particular martial art?

I'm going to say beneficial,

but not for the reason you're thinking.

Because studying a particular martial art

will also expand your horizons.

You also get a good awareness about

how the body moves, and the principles

of basic martial arts they kinda give you stuff

you can take with you outside of the mat.

So yes, all good, but for reasons different

than you may see.

@thehighwayman84, wonder which one he likes.

@SethMates, what is it like to work

with Vince McMahon?

What is he like as a person?

He is unbelievable.

It's fantastic to work for Vince McMahon

because he demands the best of everyone

who we works with, and I say with

because you are treated like a part of the family.

And he demands the best, and that's one thing,

but he gives you his absolute best every single day

and that's another.

It's been an honor to sit under his learning tree

for almost two decades.

@UTTrob, what is the most dangerous move in wrestling?

With this emoji next to it.

They're all dangerous, I think the most impactful one

ever designed is a move that I've created

that I did not think would catch on,

where simply where you wave your hand

in front of your face and say You can't see me.

Now I know out there the wrestling purists

are going to pull their hair out,

but think of this my friends.

Has there ever been another performer

to wave his hand in front of his face

and be given an actual superpower?

Think.

Think to yourself how many times you've seen

on your precious internet pictures of myself

and another human being, and you write comments

of like, But there's no one over your shoulder, Rob.

How did you take a picture with John Cena?

This has made me invisible.

Top that, anyone.

So interweb, I always love chatting wrestling,

WWE, and sports entertainment with you,

so I'm John Cena, and thank you

for watching wrestling support.
