Cena Wants Blood!
As John Cena gears up for a return to the ring in the coming weeks, he’s been seen more in Hollywood eye than his wrestling background. From hosting American Grit on FOX, to having roles last year in Trainwreck and Sisters, the 39-year-old is already planning for a life outside the ring.
However, before he bows out of the house he helped survive in a recession, he wants the WWE to leave its decade-long origins of the PG-Era and have a show catered to his liking. Whether it’s TV-14 or even more violent with an ECW route, he stated that he also wants bleeding back in the company – without referees intervening to help clean up performers. Take a look at his comments below.
“I’m a 38-year-old man. I’d much rather it be a program geared toward me, whether that’s TV-14 or sometimes even more graphic than that, which is what I like. For one thing, profanity brought fire out of people with personalities that backed the language. It’s very difficult to say, ‘Oh, you’re being poopy,’ especially when they’re meant to be fighting words. And now, if someone starts to bleed, the referee intervenes to stop the bleeding. But before, you’d just let it fly. Blood is one of the things that made fights cool. Like, you knew it had gotten serious. I understand why we don’t do it anymore. Vince has been a coach to me, a father figure, a boss and a friend, and his goal and my goal are the same: to make the company be as big as it can be. But, yeah, the blood is one thing I miss.”
