John Cena had a memorable debut against Kurt Angle, where he showed “Ruthless Aggression,” but he still lost to the Olympic Gold Medalist. Cena then proceeded to have feuds with the likes of Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, and Matt Hardy.
While speaking on a recent edition of his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Matt Hardy talked about his time working with John Cena in WWE. Hardy put over Cena in a huge way for their early relationship in WWE.
“He had a ton of potential. I enjoyed working with him. He had a great attitude, very respectful. One thing I can’t stress enough about whenever he broke into the business, especially once he started on the main roster, WWE. But I had fun wrestling with him.
There were a lot of things we kind of shared and had things in common, we both liked rap music and that’s something we had discovered at this time as well. And he was just overall just a cool fun guy, so, yeah, I enjoyed working with him and I thought this guy is going to be special because he’s very gifted and very talented.”
“Once again, he was very respectful in the aspect of he was like, okay, well, you’re the veteran, you just tell me what you want me to do. And he would contribute like, I do this, I do that, what if we did this, but, yeah, he was just very easy to work with at that time.
Very laid back, very easy going and just an extremely hard worker. And one thing I can say about John more than anything else is that he’s very disciplined and you can tell that obviously by his physique, the way he eats, the way he trains, his intensity as well and he’s also very discipline as far as applying himself to bettering himself when it came to his craft as well and you could see that right from the jump.”

It remains to be seen whether John Cena will return to WWE television soon enough, because he has a very busy Hollywood schedule.
