Watch John Cena Admit That The Rock Was Right All Along And Call Himself Selfish

These two just never stop. Back in 2011, John Cena and the Rock had one of the best feuds of the modern era, spending over a year arguing with each other before we FINALLY got to the match, which was exactly what we were waiting on. The crux of the argument was Cena saying that Rock abandoned WWE, though now Cena could be accused of doing the exact same. You kind of have to talk about that one.

Cena was recently a guest on the Gorilla Position podcast and talked about his feud with the Rock and all of the things that he said. During the interview, Cena admitted that he was absolutely wrong about everything that he said about Rock, even saying that he was “foolish, selfish and arrogant”. The interview included Cena apologizing to Rock profusely. Here are some highlights, with transcription courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com:

On Apologizing to Rock:

“I’m sorry and I was wrong. That’s the best thing I can do. I think my gripes were legitimate inside the WWE Universe. The WWE Universe is so dedicated and so fanatical, that they’re giving me the same comments that I once gave Dwayne Johnson because every Monday and every, now moving to Friday, when they turn on the TV, that’s their lives.”

On Missing Monday Night Raw

“That’s the thing they follow the most. I’m not there anymore, I’m here promoting Bumblebee. They’re gonna watch Bumblebee but it’s only like they’ll go to the movie theatre just once, twice, whatever watch it. It’s every Monday! And if you’re not there every Monday, as a viewer, especially since I’ve been with you guys for fifteen years, you now feel offended. Especially since before, I was like, ‘Hey man, where’d you go?'”

And On Being A Wrestler And An Actor

“This is a very tough balancing act and it’s one, when I called out Dwayne, I called him out because of ignorance. I called him out as someone who had tunnel vision in WWE and didn’t understand the process that when you make a movie, you are not allowed to do anything else. Because if you ruin this, if Seth Rollins puts my nose over here, I can’t film the movie. And that’s not conceded, there’s 100 other people who’s financial well-being depends on if I show up for work in one piece. So, if I stop production, that could shut production down. That cost the movie money, it hampers the success of the movie. So once again – I was foolish, selfish and ignorant but it made for awesome TV!”

Opinion: It’s hard to say what to think of something like this as Cena is accurate now, but at the same time he was right when he said everything back in 2011. The feud with Rock was incredible and it was something that made for awesome TV. It is however cool to see Cena admit that Rock made sense and wasn’t abandoning WWE, which should bury the hatchet between them once and for all, assuming it wasn’t already.
