John Cena Gives Thoughts On Controversial Undertaker Comments

John Cena has given his thoughts on the controversial comments made by The Undertaker on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast last month.

For those that haven’t seen, The Undertaker’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast gained a lot of media attention after the legend admitted to taking steroids and accused the current WWE locker room of being soft.

While speaking with Forbes, John Cena gave his thoughts on the comments made by The Undertaker, noting that he’s seen professional wrestling called many different things by critics throughout the years:

“I guess I’ve viewed the WWE as a product outside of myself for a long time. I guess that’s why I was so interested in the business side of it from very early on in my career. In that, I’ve seen it evolve, but I’ve also been called everything that’s ruined sports entertainment.”

John Cena then said that while wrestling has changed throughout the years,, it’s unfair to say that the current locker room is soft:

“I could look at the economics of it and make an argument that between myself—and the large amount of folks that carried on the roster beyond the Attitude Era into the Ruthless Aggression Era and the Reality Era—the fans of the Attitude Era certainly looked at our product as not what they’re used to, but it wasn’t. So I may have a bit of disagreement with Undertaker’s word choice, because I don’t think it’s soft, I think it’s different.”

“I remember one of the first time Steve Austin came back during the height of the PG era, and he was just befuddled,” Cena recalled. “Because Steve Austin goes out there and runs it. And if he gets stuck he can curse, he can throw up some middle fingers, he can ask for a beer…but we took away three of the biggest clubs that he can hit with and told him to go out there and be himself. And he came back shaking his head and said ‘I don’t know how you do this!’ But if he had enough time, he’s a great performer, he could get used to it.”
