He walked over to me, and he said he&#8217;s a fan of my work, and he respected my professionalism. Once we were on the red carpet, we talked some more and I told him straight up, I said, &#8216;You&#8217;re an inspiration&#8217; because he is, you know?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said he complimented Cena on his work ethic and being a role model. &#8220;There are a lot of people in my industry who phone it in,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I cannot recall one time in the over a decade of John Cena&#8217;s career where he phoned it in even once. He&#8217;s incapable, just like I&#8217;m incapable. He is a tremendous role model. Not just for me as a professional wrestler, but for everybody around the world, because he teaches you how important hard work is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted he had Cena on his bedroom wall as a Fat Head as a kid.<\/p>\n<p>He said he and Cena discussed transitioning from pro wrestling to acting, also. &#8220;He&#8217;s just an incredible person and I don&#8217;t have one negative thing to say about him,&#8221;
