I’ll tell you this. Here, I’ll give you a little story. Here, so, in WWF we do dark matches, right? They’re matches that no one sees on TV. So, for about a year John Cena kept coming in as The Prototype. And the boys, all of us would go sit up in the stands because back then it wasn’t full arenas. So, we can go sit up in the arena and no one would see us and you could watch the matches. And we would laugh at John Cena going, ‘He’s so robotic. he’s so robotic.”

Brown also mentioned that when after some time when he saw Cena playing again he was shocked to see his refined skills in the ring. The pro wrestler has closely witnessed how the 46-year-old actor rose to prominence.

For a very long time, Cena may have been mocked for his robotic moves in wrestling, but soon the wrestler understood the assignment. Brown saw a difference between Cena’s skills after he worked on it. While talking about Cena, the pro wrestler said,

Then he came one day and he had a flow to him. And you’re like, ‘Wait a minute, that’s the same dude?’ Because his body moved differently, his matches worked differently, and you’re like, ‘Okay, there’s something to that son of a b*tch. There’s something there. Lo and behold, a year later, he becomes the biggest star in wrestling and moves on for ten years. He puts the company on his shoulders. But I remember for about nine-ten months, we would laugh at him going, ‘What is this guy doing? Why is he even doing this?’ He became John Cena.”
