While making the media rounds last week, Adam Glyn briefly interviewed John Cena on the street where he talked about his pro wrestling career. Here are the highlights (H/T to Wrestling Inc).
How He Feels at 41: “I feel the most healthy I’ve ever felt in my life. I’ve dropped 20 lbs. I’ve learned some stretching techniques over in China. My body actually feels great. At full disclosure, I can’t run the full demanding schedule at 41 years old that current WWE Superstars do. They go everyday, all the time and it is a young man’s game.”
Winding Down His WWE Schedule: “I’m old guys. I’m old,” Cena stated. “I’m 41 and performing 310 times a year isn’t what’s best for my overall health. I wanna be able to run the streets at 80 instead of hobbling around. I’m at a point in my life where I need to think long-term. “That doesn’t mean I’m leaving the WWE. I’ll never leave the WWE, it’s my home. But I have to think about long-term health and right now this is probably the best play for me.”
