Ep28 - John Cena / "The Wall"

If you think about it, someone like Rick Flair. These guys are playing characters for forty years and who else can you really say that about? So that's always been intriguing to me. And along the way, naturally, a number of w W superstars have made the jump from the ring to Hollywood, whether it be Whole Cogan or De Roddy Piper or The Rock, who is one of our

biggest box office draws in the industry today. My guest today has made the same leap he waited in a decade ago with movies like The Marine in Twelve Rounds, but lately he's been accelerating. He's hilarious in films like Sisters and train Wreck, and he's in a great new movie this summer from director Doug Lyman called The Wall. His name is John Cena, and we're very happy to have him. Thanks for coming on the show Man, Thanks man. As I said in the elevator earlier, congratulations on the

engagement recently, thank you very much. You and Nikki Bello were engaged at WrestleMania this year, which, uh, I'm curious because, like you know, you guys live a life a career where reality and story bleeds in a lot together. But nevertheless, with something that intimate, the moment that intimate, did it feel weird to share it on such a massive stage like that? Was certainly nervous. And I get excited every time I performed with w W E, but very rarely

do I get nervous. And I was very nervous on because it was such a genuine moment um and you have a stadium full of fans who oftentimes are vocal and I'm not afraid to tell you how they feel, and and oftentimes I'm not exactly their favorite, so um, I wasn't sure how they would receive the moment, and I was very very grateful that they they understood that it was real and genuine and provided me with literally

the greatest moment in my life. Yeah. I mean I got engaged in Central Park and I felt weird about just like the five or six people that were around us, you know, So I can't imagine just it was. It was really a good time. And um, you know, I've I've dedicated a large chunk of my life too w w E, and I consider my home and I consider the audience my family. Um, it was a really big moment for Nicole and I being on the same team

at the biggest stage that w w has to offer. So, you know, partners in life and and I guess partners in w w E. And uh, I couldn't think of a better play. And the one thing I was worried about was everybody else's opinion. But I still went through it, and I'm so glad that I did. It's a it's a memory that I'll have forever. Good do you guys have a date? That's up to the boss. And I

know she's working on it. She's working on but um, you know, I believe you're taking a little bit of a break away from the ring right now, only because movie companies won't. They won't let you do both. It's a it's an insurance risk. And uh, as much as I'm trying to change the way the game is being played,

sometimes I totally understand that. If I'm filming something and then go off and get a broken nose like I've been known to do, and come back with my nose on the side of my face, um, it's not good for the movie. So another unbelievable fun moment. But it's just one of those things where I deep down and wish that it could work, but I understand why it can't work well that I'm still interested, because like, I know how passionate you are about w W E and

and expanding the brand and everything. But do you nevertheless fill the feel the siren call, like do you long for the moments away at all? No? No, I don't. I love every minute of it. Traveling with the brand and watching essentially the same show night after night after night still is unbelievably interesting to me. If you talk to any of my co workers, I do my best to digest as much of the product as I can, and I love just the constant, ever changing energy that

is the live audience. I think it's like no other just it literally keeps me creatively inspired. And you had mentioned storytelling, and I love trying my hand to telling different types of stories and playing the same character for essentially a decade and a half now, I've had to tell a whole lot of stories and it never gets old,

it never it's not fun. I've never had a bad day at work, So I don't you know, like I'm I'm well aware that physically I will be unable to compete long before my heart grows cold or my brain stops working in a sports entertainment capacity. And you mentioned the live audience a movie like The Wall. It's interesting to me because there is another film called Free Fire that's out this year, and both of these movies reminded me of the theater. Uh, largely just because of their

single setting situation. I mean, certainly they both come up with their own cinematic language to tell the story. But that element made me think about the theater and if somebody like you would be interested in like plays or something like that, because you know you're halfway there with that. I've been, um, I've been in kind of a risk taking mode as far as creativity. And I think I think that's important in order to push creativity. I H I really dedicated myself to learn in my craft. And

you had mentioned the marine in twelve Rounds. Those are those are projects I was kind of told to do um and and begrudgingly did them. And I don't have any regrets about them. It just I learned a lot about what what I don't want to be involved with and and the value of getting involved with something that you're passionate about. And that's that has been the key

to sustainability for me. It's just being involved with whether it's on the on the business side, brands that I care about, on the creative side, projects that I care about, or you know, at home in w W. Just being invested in stories and being passionate in stories. It it um It helps. So I don't want to say that I'll never do theater, because if if I have an opportunity to do something that that sounds like I'm I'm invested and I'm invested in it, why not. Yeah? Uh,

let's talk about the Wall. I thought this movie was awesome. I just thought it the other night. Doug Lenman again as the director. But what interestingly it's a bit of a one man show for Aaron Taylor Johnson. Is he is just outstanding? Yeah? Yeah, but your presence is uniquely felt throughout the film. So what I'm wondering is what made you say yes to the project to begin with?

Because it was an unbelievable read. I I you know, I had no idea of what, who, who was going to direct the movie, who was gonna be the co star. I read the script in one sitting and was unbelievably moved by it and said, yes, I want to do this in any capacity. It wasn't like I read for this role and I want to do this. I read this script, I thought it was great, and I knew that I could. I knew within my skill set I

could provide a good contribution to this movie. And then the people came back who are running the joint, and they said, we would like you to do this role of Sergeant Matthews. I said, no problems, go yeah, I know you've done a lot for the troops in your time as well. I mean, was that part of it

as well? Like I said, I mean that the story was just unbelievably riveting, and the fact that you get to to showcase a different take on combat, one of intense psychological warfare and certainly a movie that brings the viewer on its own psychological ride. It's amazing. That's a psychological a cat and mouse game between a sniper and sniper, but it also throws a lot of curveballs for the viewer as well. Um, it was an honor to be able to play an army ranger, but I mean it was.

It was. It's really cool to be part of an awesome story. Yeah, I went into a totally cold cold I didn't even see a trailer or anything. I kind of recommend that actually, because you're right. I mean, it takes you on a on a ride and Aaron is amazing in the film. How'd you like working with Aaron? He is a unbelievable professional. He had so much to be responsible for shouldering the movie. M His Southern accent

was unreal. Uh. He did another one in Nocturnal Animals, just all of his remembering ninety pages of dialogue and because uh, people may or may not know. The movie was shot in two weeks and in fourteen days. He would have to jump. Depending on how severe the sandstorms were, he would have to jump from scene to scene, and we would have a certain schedule and then just out of the blue, change it and he would just fall from piece to piece. He was flat out amazing like it.

It was. It was really awesome to watch him work in the desert, and it's in the undisclosed California desert in the middle of hot season. It was. It was awesome. It was it was fun. And I just I just did a commercial shoot this morning with a gentleman who was a camera assistant on the movie. He said, hey, man, I remember from you from the Wall. That was a tough one out there, And I said tough one in a good way. He's like, yeah, man, I never felt

so gratified after every single day. It was like you left every day just beat to crap, but you wanted to go to work the next day. And I think everybody from from myself and Aaron and Doug to anyone on the on the pitcher felt really rewarded after like a They felt like they put in a hard day's work. It's easy to pull away for the two weeks too.

I guess regarding your other work, it was great. I um, they they only obviously I was only needed for I think ten of the shooting days or nine of the shooting days, and in between I rehearsed and hosted the SPS. I was able to main event Madison Square Garden, and I was able to go to uh Tokyo on behalf of the WW as well, So it worked out fantastic. I meant to ask, Actually, I was trying to put it together, what was going on with WW at the time, Like,

what like when you filmed this with uh Man? That was like that was literally right around when I was filming the SPS, so rehearsing. I'm I'm not sure who I was kind of incohots with maybe a j yeah. Stuff. Speaking of Doug Lyman, I had first of all, how did you like working with Doug? He was amazing. He was amazing any individual that is creative and driven like I, Um, I'm a sucker for efficiency and I'm just a sucker for like a well oiled machine, and I also love

being creative. I'm that that weird mix of like, Okay, we have to get in, get out, and get onto the next one, but at the same time we have to take time to absorb and tell a good story. Um. He He was awesome. He was unbelievably creative. He knew his vision, he knew what he wanted. He certainly knew how to get the best out of me. Somebody was still getting their their feet solid in this whole thing. He knew he had a short thing in Aaron, and he knew he only had fourteen days to shoot. He

never wavered, He was never stressed. He was always just crazily excited, showing up, you know, every day covered in dirt when he left. Every day, he would get down in the dirt if he if he needed to to motivate you like he was. He was a wonderful leader for the film and it obviously it shows on screen. Yeah, he's got two films this year, so he's working hard

as well. Uh. And speaking of him, we had Jon Favreau on the show last year talking about Jungle Book, and I just wanted to pick his brain about Swingers because it's one of my favorite movies and it was celebrating a twenty anniversary at the time. Uh, you know when it was a big movie for me when I was coming up. So I was just curious for you. We know you're a big W W E fan as a kid, But were you a big movie buff? Two? I think movies are the fabric of all of our lives.

I think as a I mean, ever since the debut of the motion picture, it's been something to go do UM. Just like anything, it's I have my list of favorites, and and everyone else has their list of favorites, and for different reasons. I think with any sort of UM method of entertainment or sport, you can go as far down the rabbit hole as you want. I have a group conversation that never ends with a bunch of high school friends where we often uh talk back about baseball

and and my knowledge and baseball is is general. But I have some baseball heads who just go way down the rabbit hole and they kind of lose me. Like it could be said the same for for w W. E could be said the same for cinema. So I think it's it's like saying, how man, what do you listen to? From music? If I definitely have a list of favorite movies, you gotta give me a couple of Uh. I loved The Big Short just recently, I love Blazing

Saddles as a favorite. UM. The entire story arc of Star Wars, even the first three where everybody, you know, they don't they don't enjoy I just love the continuous good story of good versus evil. Um the Matrix films. I loved all of them. I think they were not only cutting edge, but such a wonderful look at existence and in the same vein I'm I'm a huge Prometheus fan, but not like an Aliens fan. I'm a huge Prometheus fan, looking very much forward to the next one. I just

saw it the other day, very much Prometheus too. I love it. I love it. It's so exciting, so very excited. You're gonna like it. So do you have like a list of filmmakers that are like on your wish list that you want? You know? I think any and And this is the thing. It's like I've been I've been doing a lot of interviews lately, a Primo on the Wall obviously, and everybody's asking me like, well, what's your dream role and who would you like to work with?

I guess because I had the luxury of being paired with so many diverse individuals in w w E, and I've had the luxury of being in there with Hall of famers, and I've had the luxury of being in there with people who are literally just learning their craft. And I find as long as there is passion, a passion can cover a lot of weak points because it's genuine. So everyone's always asking me, like, what do you want to do next? And the response is the same. I

know when I'll read it. If I read something and I'm moved by it, and I know I want to be part of it. At least I'm invested even before I get the job. And then on top of that, if I if I'm fortunate enough to work with a Hall of Fame team, that's great. I just did The Wall with with Doug Lyman, but simultaneously, right now I'm filming The Pact with Kay Cannon, the first time director. But she loves the movie so much, and so do I,

and so does everybody in it. So it's a it's a print process, but a wonderful process because everybody steps on the set. I want to make a good project as long as I can get that vibe. Man, it doesn't you know that's that's a good method for success. You've also got later this year, Blue Sky's so excited about that, voicing the lead in that that's gotta be just cush work right to show up. And I mean I don't need you know you know what you say that the deal with the v O stuff and and

Blue Sky knows what they're doing. They did ice Age and they did Rio. They won't let you vo for more than four hours because they think your voice deviates, so they truly know what they're doing. They want to get you in blocks of maybe three or four days at a time, not to wear you out too much, but it is you get out of it what you put into it. Um Carlos, who's directing the picture, is awesome.

He is an animator, like a pure animator. When he's in the booth, he's so animated and like he's another one who just closes his eyes and can see the movie while you're reading, and then knows when he sees the read that you need for the animation because the already is a great idea on the animation. It's like, all right, we're good, go ahead and move on. Like it's I I don't want to say. I mean, you are in a studio. It's kind of like we're doing here in a podcast, but like this is work. I mean,

you have to. You have to do your research, you have to do your homework, you have to you have to actually produce the thing and make it like I'm and and I'm I'm very excited for Ferdinand, obviously, because when you can do a cool project, that's one thing. When you can send a good message at the same time, that's another. And I've tried so hard through all the the back and forth with the audience and the w

w E to maintain my integrity. I think that's very important because when you send a message of like, it doesn't matter what other people think as long as you're comfortable in your own skin. You have to be comfortable in your own skin, and you can't change when people are asking you to change, like, no, this is me, like it or not, this is me. And the ethos of Ferdinand is very much it's it's okay if you're different, and it's just it's a wonderful ride to wonderful movie.

And I was so very fortunate to be a part of I can't wait for You probably have to wait a while before you can really get some feedback on something like that, right, because you have before you can sit down and see the movie, see something I've seen pieces, and the great thing about animation is you can see it in stages and and I never lost I never lost that crazy imagination that I as a kid. So even when they show like animated storyboards which are legit

bare bones sketches, you can see it. You can see it, and then it comes to life more and more and more. So I've seen the movie. You just in really rough form, which helps you develop the voice and the mannerisms and all that, and then you see a few finished scenes and man, it's it's pretty special. Well that's later this year. Speaking of voice work, I saw this thing. You were channeling your best Gordon solely on self. Paul Regional's so happy with Let me explain what that is to some

people might not know. You should check it out. It's on YouTube South Paul Regional Wrestling. It's a number of WW superstars and they're playing like characters from a nineteen eight seven regional wrestling outfit. And I grew up in North Carolina, so you know, watching Smokey Mountain and n w A and everything. So it was right in my wheelhouse and you guys were cracking me up. It's like

a long lost VHS kind of thing. Uh, so go check that out, but first talk to me about that first of all, like just being able to cut up with the boys like that, because it's interesting they that kind of creative outlet wasn't always there and things like the WW network and digital media allows you guys to do something like that. It used to be like you'd show up at the Norfolk Scope or Sportatorium or whatever and then you drive to the next one and that

was the job. But with this kind of thing, you can really expand the world of sports entertainment in a way. That is that is because of our w W universe. As we are our audience disclamorous for intent. We are one of the highest socially active programs on television. We

have global outreach um our. Our YouTube is one of the Our YouTube channel is one of the very few that is like Diamond play on YouTube, so it has the highest rating as far as user approval and consistent content and South Pause a YouTube series of digital show. It certainly about five minutes a piece, and it's amazing

because it captures everything of that era. But we never show any wrestling right and it's so great and it just goes to show, like you said, how far sports entertainment has come, because the sports entertainment of your the old WWF for the w W attitude era, or even when I you know, when I started coming in as a as a newer generation post attitude era. Um, you very much focus on your brand and only your brand,

like you are Okay, John Cena. Character is this And I remember, you know, being the hip hop guy like dressed hip hop, made an album, made videos like freestyle how people in the parking lot and you you have to It's very much like constant method acting. And and that was me. I love hip hop culture. I love that like eighties and nineties boom bab culture. But at

the same time, that's not all me. You know. I also love to tell jokes, you know I I if you get me in the right scenario, I'm pretty decent with my hands in a fight. Like there's there's certain facets of your personality, but because you have to identify with the audience, you try to showcase the one that will resonate the most. And in my case, the fact that I've been on TV for fifteen years, I've my

life has been an open book to these people. So now I'm at the point where I really have a lot of fun and I like to to mess around with stuff like that, and YouTube is a great outlet to do digital shorts, to do um just fun videos.

We did one on the Bella's YouTube channel celebrating half a million subscribers where we got naked Nicole and I got naked, and it truly was just a just a funny video where I was the of the joke pun intended and I'm looking like an idiot, but everybody had a good laugh about it, and it was it was a great way to tell the subscribers, Hey, thank you for your support. So South Paul was was awesome because you get once again to create a new character. And I like you as a fan of um Gordon solely,

you know. I'm I tried to get a little bit of even even thinking of the name like Lance Russell came to mind, and I tried to get a commentary name that would sound like Lance Russell, but not like Lance Russell, almost sound like Ron Burgundy. And I remember passing the Catamaran Hotel in San Diego and go with Lance Catamaran. Holy, holy sh it, that's it. It's Lance catamaran. He's it sounds like a sailboat. It's distinguished, like he's

Lance catamaran. So then you could exactly. And then because and the reason I chose Utica was because Ithaca College has a wonderful broadcast program. And like nobody tells you this, but once again, you you get out of it what you put into it. And that's what that's what it's fun about the creative environment. And it was a hit. And I think there's a great core audience in the

w W that looks for stuff like that. Yes, they like to see heated rivalries and they love that good versus evil story, but they also have a sense of humor the human beings. And we are essentially laughing at the industry. We are parodying the industry and the way

it was, and people enjoy it. And I think, you know, here we are thirty years removed from that era more and and we can now look back and laugh at the way things done, things were done, and especially the the small time promotions trying to keep up with quote unquote New York when Vince was doing crazy global stuff and and everyone else was following by the wayside. And it's just their crazy last dig attempts to try to

to to keep up with the front runner. It was it was really fun and there's there's more on the way, So I'm very much looking forward to he Is Bro. I have seen text ferguson Unleashed. Be on the lookout for more tech first just a superstar man um. But yeah, there's other things on the way. From Netflix. There's a show called Glow about women's wrestling. There's events has a biopic script is amazing. That was one that I read in one sitting and was like, man, I need to

be part of this movie. Well it's what it makes me think about is like I was mentioning, like the opportunity to tell the story behind sports entertainment like it. But then again, you do the brand itself. Man, it's it's it's in. It's it's old. They do a football life now they do uh stories about the superstars. Like every industry that has a run like we have had, you get to a point where it's okay to look back and we are there now, we are absolutely there.

We have been through generations of leading individuals, so to say, Hogan Austin the Rock, myself now Roman reign. It's like, it's okay to now look back. They're doing an awesome biopic on Andre I can't wait to see, you know, like, that's what a wonderful story that is. Simmons has a documentary too, right, Yeah, it's it's amazing to to find out this story behind the story, and it's not It doesn't hurt the product in the ring because it's not

about the current people in the ring. If anything, it raises the mystique about like what actually goes on and what we do. What did you think of Mickey Roks film? I thought it. I thought it was wonderful. And everybody asked me about that, like so cautiously, like what did you think of the Wrestler? I loved it because I thought the film could have been called The Ballplayer, the

rock Star, it could have been called anything. The story was about the life and a guy who was so entrenched in the life he can't let go, and that that happened a lot to eighties superstars. You get caught up in this whirlwind and it is man, it's like, and this is just for us. You you you you leave on Friday, you get back Tuesday, you leave on Friday, gain and you get back Tuesday, and it's constant, like you just get institutionalized. And for the guys in the

eighties it was even more. They had, you know, sometimes double shot to do a show to leven. You do a show at seven, you're gone for forty one days, in your home for ten, then you're gone for another forty one. Like that is a lifestyle, man. It happens in entertainment all the time. It happens in athletics all the time. Watch ESPNS Broke if you don't believe me,

like that sort of lifestyle. The documentary on John Daily, the thirty for thirty on John Daily, where he's just like signing autographs outside of a Marriott, like that's it happens. And I thought they took our genre and used it so wonderful. And man, what a wonderful, wonderful performance Mickey did, and just it was. It was real, man. It was a great depiction of how somebody can't get rid of the rush and they still want that one last try

even though it's gone, you know, it's gone. That lifestyle you talk about, I mean, do you think that's why I think about this often? So many superstars wrestling superstars are lives have ended tragically, tragically, and you know, I think of somebody like you who is you know, kept it straight and even. But then a guy like Sting who has been around since the eighties and never got caught up in anything that left him like that? Is that why you think that has happened for a number

of superstars because of the lifestyle. I think it all comes down to personal choice. You look at choices in the entertainment industry, they're there are great entertainers that we lose too soon, and it all because it all comes down to personal choice. So it's not necessarily it's not the life. I mean, there are there's a lot of guys who did all those dates on the road and they're just fine. And then there are a lot of

guys who lived like there was no tomorrow. And guess what when you do that, there is no tomorrow, Like that stuff catches up with you. That's just plain and simple. So it's like I said, I don't think it's regulated to a certain profession. What I admire about the w W nowadays is even know the way we are set up as independent contractors. They take care of us as if we are family. They offer financial assistance, they offer on site healthcare. If you get injured, we get injury pay. Now,

they offer secondary education, they offer second language programs. Like the depth that they go to make sure that we are protected is they don't need to do that, and they do it anyway. It's it's um, it's a it's a great testament how much they care about their current talent and talent of of life after, you know, after the business. And they had to build to a point where they were big enough to be able to do yeah, and that's the thing you gotta They're they're doing this

in all the while they're running a business. And and the eighties was like the infancy of it all, so you're you don't even know which way is up. You don't even know if closed circuit is gonna work out, and then it becomes pay per view and then like it's crazy, man, it all is just it was. It's a crazy ride, which makes the pandemonium script, Vince script that you reference, just all that more interesting. Man, I can't wait to see I want you want to get

you in hot water with him? But who do you think should play Vince McMahon, Man I don't want to get myself in hot water with him, but I would love to. Yeah, I would love to, kind of like if I just glanced at you right now, you've got I just look. I love the story, the words jump off the page. I certainly know and admire the man. He's literally one of my heroes. He's a friend of father, a mentor um. Whoever does that they have they have a wonderfully crafted challenge in front of him because he

is one of a kind. He is one of a kind. I have a suggestion. I don't know if he'd be too volatile to work with, but Tom Hardy, I think that would be a fantastic choice. I think it'd be a fantastic choice. Boss. No, well, I don't know if. I don't know if he has final saying. I think the people making the movie do. But like that that's a brilliant choice. It just it's he Vince is just so unique. Man. I can't I can't wait to see the movie. They already they already have my ticket money.

Uh let's see what else do I have here? Oh? You would you would you be interested in like putting on a suit and being in a position like Triple H is like, would you want to so your level your level of commitment to the businesses on that level, you don't understand there's it is a business of creativity. And I'm wearing a suit right now because I'm comfortable in a suit like everybody's like, I address casual. This is my casual, So I don't mind being in a suit.

I have more of events style than I do a Triple H style. Um, but you get to be creative. What what Triple H has done with n x T. He literally has created another functioning brand for the company that is awesome. Like I tell him all the time, I'm fascinated by the growth and development. It's amazing that we can run two functional brands and now we legit have a third that we can set up in a town for one of our big four papers and sell

it five days in a row. That's unheard of in the lot, in the in the in the ticket tear and business, that's unheard of. And people flocked in the network to to to watch an XT and they know these superstars before they even debut on our television, which is a testament to how much they watch the product. It's Um, I would love to do something like that, and I don't mean in that even major of a capacity. I live very close to the Performance Center in Orlando.

I would love to just go there every day and and give advice. I got all these secrets, and it's the crazy thing about entertainment is it's a chicken soup. Business is a million different ways to make it, but it's all chicken soup in the end. So I love going to the Performance Center every once in a while and just giving a way left field look of like,

I know you're being told this by your coaches. I'll drop like some weird fortune cookie moments on them and then just about face and leave and everybody scratching their head, going what just happened? So I like that too, man Like it's you don't have to be in charge of the creativity to be around the creativity. And I just love the creativity of the business. So you're in it for that long haul. We're not like witnessing you transition. They would to tell me that they don't need me anymore,

and trust me, after fifteen years of service. If they tell me that, I walk away with a stern handshake, a genuine smile and a and a heartfelt thank you because I've overstayed my welcome and in some aspects like I this is a dream ride for me. But it's not like I'm getting into the other gigs who I can leave one behind w w W is legit my home. I consider them my family. Uh. I have such a very close connection with all the people that are responsible

for the brand. Um, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I would never think of that. I'm very I have a good perspective of it. So if they say, hey, kids, it's over, that's fine. But until they say that, I would like to think that I would I could contribute in some capacity. Last question for you, it's kind of a two parter, and it's it's a cheap question. What's your greatest match? What's the greatest match you've ever seen? Uh? The questions are what's my greatest match and what's the greatest match

I've ever seen? The ants or to the greatest match question is always the same, it's my next one, because that means I can continue doing what I love.
