- Hollyscoop.com caught up with John Cena at the 2009 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards to talk about challenging Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, joining the UFC, getting married, and Wrestlemania. Interview by Diana Madison.
the difference of UFC and WWE is that UFC is a sport of professional fighter and the WWE is a sport about wrestling and the main purpose of WWE is to entertain children around the world
I'm a Rock fan but I can respect Cena for being so humble here : )
yeah i agree cena is the beeeeest in wwe ever .... :) love him
Asayel F he sucks
Nice to hear that a WWE superstar understands that the UFC is a different entity and knowing his skills and abilities can't cross over.
Cena's right ! ITS A FREAKING HELL YEAH BIG DREAM MATCH WE ALL WANNA SEEE ;D
For some reason people OUTSIDE of wrestling like John Cena. He seems to do well in interviews like this. People want to interview him.
Strangely, the only people who boo him are the WWE fans themselves. I cannot seem to solve the puzzle.
@Ra3D I see where you're coming from, however being allowed to use your elbows shows more of a diversity to the ground and pound technique. The defender has mroe to wrory about other than just the fists. However it is quite deadly, the damage elbows can do are insane so i can see where you're coming from.
CENA IS A ROCK FAN TOO HE LOVE TO SEE HIM BACK HE SIAD IT LIKE A 1000 TIMES HE EVEN WONT TO LOSE TO HIM HE GOT MAD AT HIM FOR NOT COMING BACK I HOPE THE ROCK COME BACK ONE DAY
FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK!!!!!
"This is an event that takes a year long to build up."
John Cena talking about Wrestlemania.
He wasnt kidding when he said that. lol
We have to wait a year to watch Rock vs Cena
Cena sounds like a chill dude.
I used to bash WWE wrestling until I watched "The Wrestler" last year. Changed my entire perspective on the industry.
I haven't really watched wrestling in YEARS or anything, but I have to say he seems like a nice guy.
Whoever thought up WM25 being the 25th anniversary of WM obviously doesn't understand the premise of an anniversary. WM2 was first anniversary of WM, WM25 was twenty-fourth anniversary, and WM26 was twenty-fifth anniversary.
cena was beast at wm 25. when he lifted bigshow and edge at the same time, it was epic all the way. the rock vs cena would be even more epic, lets hope for it at wm 27
he wouldn't have what it takes just from the way he talks about mma. when he says it's 2 guys fighting for their life he couldn't be more wrong. i know he is physically capable of working hard and winning fights but his out look on it alone would hold him back. it's not for everyone and i still have a ton of respect for the man.
The Rock and John Cena are both AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is when the rock and john cena started at this interview
Professional Wrestling: Great Athletes
Mixed Martial Arts: The best fighters in the world
You've gotta admire Cena for saying he wouldn't do MMA. He knows he wouldn't be great, while others say they would've definitely joined UFC back when they were young.
I agree with that straight away he didn't try and act like a tough guy it was a no and move on back to wwe
He knows he'd get his shit pushed in.
@TruthinWWE I dont think so, thier stats were already like that way before they did the you "cant see me" hand wave, and 50 cent has done it too and hes still on top
You can tell, Cena doesnt really want to talk about it. some of you people complain about how Cena talks about him and trashes him so much, when its the interviewers that ALWAYS asks him about it. All he can do it respond and not be ignorant/un-nice, just to let you know :P
i really dont understand why people hate john cena so much i mean ever since the rock come back people hate him but as for i love john cena and i think it is impossable to hate him and ever since the rock dissed cena i start likeing the rock less and less
lol 1:09 she says "your pretty confident you might beat his ass" at the kids choice awards might be just me but its funny
@Hitmonchan107 No idea what this 'picture' is you speak of, but Cena is still around because he is the biggest star in the WWE (biggest fanbase) atm and will be for a long time - notice that Cena is not aggresively chasing the WWE title as he usually does, at the moment and instead the WWE are letting younger guys (THE MIZ) have a go at the title scene - and putting over newer superstars like Wade Barrett and Nexus. The WWE are NOT focusing on CENA - but focusing on their product!!
ok maybe i didn't think about that but it also true skill does matter
tahnk u i appreciate it, i no wat match ur talkin about its a little off because i pulled my hamstring a week b4 the match but it came out pretty well
And the rock only came back 2 years after this interview
Cena is very entertaining, tough, and all around a good wrestler.
@egrojodnamra actually mainly the wrestlers themselves do, of course they sit down with the board that handles the storyline aspect of wwe and they look over whos more popular, and how else could we make a feud out of it(bring in another wrestler, for a title, etc)
They are stuntman who entertain. Very strong though, can punch, and could make it in ufc. I'm waiting for the worlds strongest man to step into MMA, anyone up for a grapple?
@Ghost303600 so you havent heard of Brock and Ken? both used to be in WWF/WWE and now in UFC?
@barcode477 its known by many names- fade, crewcut, but theres another version were the sides dont "fade" to the top its called a hightop
cena is very respectful, i also respect the wwe, i mean as an mma fighter, getting slammed mulitple times for over 10 minuites for over 300 days a year sounds absolutely grueling. give back respect to those who give it.
you're right about that
@DmanDice I totally agree with you there, well said!!!
lol, the video quality options are "360p" or "720p". Where's 480p for this video? lol
dude i couldnt agree with u any more. im a wrestling fan but im more of a MMA fan. they are both pretty hard but one thing i do have to say is that MMA fighters have it just a bit tougher cuz they train 3 times a day non stop but ur totally right though
the ufc is a company, mma is the sport
@Deldrox Brock was a big time wrestler, state champion etc he has real experience that applies to mma
Comparing Cena to Rock is like comparing a Honda Civic to a Mercedes Benz. Rock in his heyday ('98-'03) was special, like none other. There will never be another Rocky, no matter how hard Cena tries...
i'm john cena's BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!!! i love his moves like stfu , attitude adjustment and 5 nuckle shufle. did i spell it right?
Cena really wanted this match its like a match for him come true.
WWF was fun while it lasted in my childhood. Infact I was invited and went to Wrestlemania26, But UFC is the BEST! They don't focus on a fake storyline and more on the fight because it's not staged.
and im getting a little pissed off with the haters ( just sayin ) again i will never EVER hate john cena.
@RocnessMonstar First off he didn't admit to taking anything because he never took anything. Where do you get this information from seriously?
lmao "if he wants to throw hands, im pretty good with my hands" xD
...He is succesfull, nobody can deny that. Look at how much wrestlers tried to make it in MMA and then count those who were succesfull by doing it. Lesnar is the first since Takahashi (shamrock doesn't count, he was a fighter before he was a wrestler). Before when people didn't train the way they do now, wrestlers had a chance.
In ufc kicks to the head aren't banned, stomping is banned therefor they are alowed to elbow at any phase of the fight.
I love how he says he would not even think about the ufc because the wwe is his home.. as much as all u people wanna hate on him and say dwayne would layeth the smackdown on his ass...u gotta show him some respect cuz unlike dwayne..he does movies AND wwe.....he hasnt quit wwe just go to make movies...JOHN CENA U R THE MAN!!
@liverpoolcCU I always found it fascinating how excited people get about fake wrestling..... admiring big pumped men, while they lift each other up.
John Cena is a powerhouse because he's put on a lot more muscle mass for a guy his size. That never works in fighting. He'd have to shed a lot of muscle to even think about lasting more than a minute in the cage.
And he has nothing to suggest that he could be a brilliant fighter. Brock was a Division-I wrestling champion.
It's great entertainment who cares if it's scripted, movies are i don't see anyone complaining about them. Another great thing about wrestling is there's alot of companies to choose from, not just WWE.
Cena looks like a cool guy to chill with.
It turns out Rock and Cena actually don't hate each others guts! Cena just wants him to come back for one of the best match in 'Mania History!
thank u now they can hhave peace (talking about WWE and UFC)
@capablemachine yeah you're right. it's so much more heroic to lift weights, do steroids, and rehearse fake throws only to be out in a pre-known win or loss. UFC, WEC, and any other form of MMA will actually teach you how to fight. WWE shows you how to rub fake blood on your face and hit each other in the small of your back with a steel chair (which doesn't actually hurt
@sawakadin Who didn't completely like what ROck and Cena were doing in the wwe?
When he was talking about UFC and WWE he was trying so hard not to say that WWE is fake, because of all the little kids that would probably see this interview.
@rudyleon69 could you either list those 10 reasons or send me a link to them or something? Cause honestly, I don't see any reason a member of the "talent" could be anything more than an accessory to why the company has gone so far downhill. As far as I'm concerned the entire thing lies in the lap of Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, doing a piss-poor job at filling her daddies' shoes.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to say that Cena is all that, I'm simply unbiased in this matter about Cena.
Damn cursing at the Kid Choice Awards (LmAo)
The Rock: Who in the blue hell are you?
Cena: The champ is...
The Rock: It doesn't matter who you are! The people's champ is already here.
i wanna see Dwayne Johnson and John Cena versus Anderson Silva
My hats off to John Cena, for shoeing respect for the sport
i also like to see some mma fighters go into wwe and try to entertain people, sell and be even a decent pro wrestler
my words EXACTLY
Cena was a heel for most of his Thuggonomics routine.... actually, more of a neutral-heel. He didn't do "baby-face" stuff, but he didn't appease the heels either. That was actually the best "Cena" times, but now it's just too much.
rock and cena.....will forever be known as the match that never was. thanks vince could been a better WM27. rock/cena & taker/tripleh
@TheOnePoty nicely said mate. I personnally prefer WWE coz like you said it's entertainment but from time to time I'll watch some UFC.
Hes really a nice down to earth guy by the looks of it =)
y do people hate on john cena? i just want 2 know.
listen you lot wrestlers and mma fighters have the same training the only difference is when mma fighters have a sparing match wrestlers have a wrestling match too in the ring as part of their training.
I love John Cena for his honesty about the UFC, and his loyalty to the WWE, its only his job to abide by the character and storylines that he is dealt with. He could bring back the attitude era and the PG13 rating if television would allow him to. DONT BLAME CENA!!!!!!!
Listen up UFC listeners, I enjoy MMA no doubt but I also enjoy WWE, there is no comparison between the two because one is a sport and one is entertainment. Stop arguing about it please.
Did she just say "So you're pretty confident you might beat his ass" at the Kids Choice Awards?
John cena 🇨🇱 Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 🇺🇸🙋 chilena corazón 💋💝♥️💖🤗 2021
Ken Shamrock was a fighter before he got into wrestling and Brock Lesnar was a really good mat wrestler. Neither of the two had any interest in wrestling until the WWE threw some money at them, and with Ken Shamrock it was more of a joint venture between the UFC and the WWE. At the time Ken began wrestling, the UFC was just barely off the ground and so having him wrestle was good for exposure.
@Mybella19 The story line was if he didnt let Wade barret win the WWE title he would be fired bcuz he was the ref etc etc but i doubt he'll be gone for long
UFC and Pro Wrestling are two entire diff things altogether and I'm not just talking about what's real and what isn't but the fact of what their job consist of. In pro wrestling your job consist of acting and stunts in the UFC your job consist of endurance and accuracy. Very few mma fighters or pro wrestlers can cross over from pro wrestling to MMA or MMA to pro wrestling and be successful at it. The only two men that had been really successful crossing over into either was Shamrock and Lesnar
people need to get it straight!!! he"ll never be better than"the ROCK" in his right mind...yeah the rock done it all beaten hogan, triple h, stone cold, angle, y2j everyone... and the rock is the most completed package superstar of all-time HANDS DOWN!
did anyone else here her say beat his ass? and it being on a kids show?
@liverpoolcCU its the nick kids choice awards...dont take it so seriously
@Taywarit13 attitude era was the best. This era is kool too. Least there is still Undertaker and Triple H
i think you used bad examples with BJ GSP and randy as they are/were very confident in their martial arts and they talk like tough guys. cena is very humble and just the fact that he is completely closed minded towards the idea of an mma fight says to me that he would have to have a totally different personality to even consider training mma. and don't try comparing cena to brock, brock is a highly decorated collegiate wrestler and NCAA champion.
Don't hate on Cena man. I don't think he's as bad as most people think. Skills, showmanship, popularity, etc are all subjective. It's just that he has to do what WWE asked him to, and that's to become the popular face of WWE. If he had a choice, perhaps he would go for the ghetto gimick again. I mean, c'mon, every man knows wearing black armbands and walking down that aisle with confidence is better than wearing purple and sucking up to the crowd. It's all about business and Cena has to do it.
@forbesfoofighters You mean Shogun Rua kills Cena, not the other way around, right??
Hes a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER. That's like saying Barry Sanders wasn't a REAL FOOTBALL PLAYER
omg how awesome it would be if we had a tripple treat match at wrestlemania to see who is the ultimate icon: stone cold vs rock vs cena.
yeah i know cena is not the best a wrestler but neither is stone cold and rock it is the hype train i want.
the match would have people scream so hard so we could fucking hear them in europe. the match could be great to. all three have been in and helped created the biggest matches in history. all i say the 3 of them ONE ring, all brings their A game. AWESOME!!
It doesn't matter is he "made him bleed". Cena was a fucking punching bag in that match.
If they stepped in tomorrow. You are most likely right. If however they stepped in after a year or more of training MMA then they might do alright. It depends on how quickly the can learn and how good at fighting they really are.
Pro Wrestlers are often athletic. They have good work ethics. Quite a few of them wrestled growing up. They may not all have been National Champions or whatever, but neither were some of the top wrestlers in the UFC.
i lol when cena said, Rock " The Dwayne" Johnson
Cena= Kids
The Rock= Team Bring It
i like how if rock was to actually come back it mattered which one was the best in the ring to see who wins lol, it doesn't even matter as long as the boss says u win.
i cena's biggest fan !!! go cena!!
@ratedtriplex how is that Kafabe lol, its saying if he wants to fight he'll fight. It's not saying that he's a black belt in BJJ. :P
There's something really confusing about them talking about wrestling and UFC during the Nickelodeon teen choice awards lol
@halfblooddutchprince but wwe is not only entertainment.....its very very hart .
who determines who wins in an wwe match??
"Rumor in the ring is that John Cena and Dwayne Johnson will be taking the ring for an ultimate fight, is it true ?" This was in 2009 so not at that time but The Rock came back to the WWE two years later and beat John Cena's ass, so be careful what you wish for.
Rock i hope you watch this the WWE universe wants you back for one more match!
*The rock comes over to John Cena after the interview*
The Rock: "Sooooo.. u said ur pretty confident in wooping my ass ehh ??"
John Cena: "No what i said wa.."
The Rock: "IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT U SAID!!"
@ourtruth2069
Really? we must not be watching the same interview. He said he likes to entertain. I don't understand how people can enjoy two men trying their hardest to physically hurt each other (MMA). To each its own I guess.
exactly
