“I made sure that I gave him every ounce of knowledge I had. No one took that knowledge better than John,” said Booker. “This guy’s got a limited skill set, but he’s a guy who’s taken that skill set and parlayed it to the greatest career in the history of the business. That’s not a knock or anything like that.”

John Cena has been in the WWE for a long time. He was also the face of the company for a while and set a record for merchandise sales.

Cena was the very definition of a legend back in the day and gave us some of the best matches ever. However, fans now see him as a spent force.

Many think that he does not have a lot left in his arsenal. Booker feels there’s still a thing or two Cena could teach us.

“You can take very very little and make so much of it, which John Cena has done.

He made sure he soaked every ounce of that knowledge up.
